Path of Exile

So started mapping which is great fun. I seem to have got up to t8-t9 and the maps are drying up a fair bit. Do I need to buy them now? Since t4 or so I've just made everything I do yellow. Is that the way to do it to get higher maps? Should I be saving or spending what litle money I have as my gear is pretty shit right now. How do I chisel and sextant good maps?

I bought the currency tab and a few more tabs to store gear which has been a lifesaver.

Alch and go is a pretty good method and great for casual play. You can min/max it quite a bit, though.

I'm still alch and going at 97 into 98. I won't even start to dump currency into rerolling maps until the 1/2 point to 100 at level 98+.

OK so just keep doing this and hope that from time to time I get a step up, basically. Cheers folks.

IDK about map drops, Im not insanely deep yet at 470 but maps seem to drop very sparsely in Delves normally. Now if you get a city with outposts and map boxes OFC youre going to get drops but normal Delving so far is maybe 30% chance for a map to drop out of a 5k sulphite run.

I would target to do all bonus objectives on your map Atlas to boost the map drop %'s if you havent already done that. After you do all the normal maps you can buy a lot of the unique maps really cheap.

Just tried to put double bloodlines on a map and it ate my chaos but didn't give me more magic mobs, guess they removed that =/.

Zana's Bloodlines/Nemesis never gave more magic/rare mobs I'm pretty sure.

EDIT: Nm, it should give more magic mobs regardless. How can you tell you didn't get more magic mobs?

Bleh, wonder what's different this league. I've never had map progression stall out like this such that I've had to go back 2-3 tiers.

In the same boat this league. I've been running maps with bunny cause I had 1 t13 and then 6 t9's. That's my map pool!

Well, it used to add the zana magic mob % to the numbers in the modlist it shows in the map, so maps with double bloodlines mods would have 40-50%ish magic mobs listed, this map stayed at 27% magic mobs on the modlist from the map roll.

When's the "i'm just gonna play standard" phase coming?

I don't think I got you on my friends list; my IGN is Jonkimble.

Any idea what I could convert a arc totem Hiero into something else without releveling a new character?

Glacial Cascade Totems

Freezing Pulse is supposed to be pretty good too I think?

Well the point of converting to another builds is that they throwing down 4 totems while mining gets old pretty fast, throwing 4 totems every 30 feet. Oh well.

If you don't want to play totems as a Heirophant, you might as well re-roll.
