I'm not a currency dropping build, I play the game semi-ssf. I do incursion, abyss, harvest, and essence because that's stuff I use. I've made plenty of money out of the tree and abyss so the raw drops, 2, are probably less than 10% of the divines I've made off trades. I've maybe traded somewhere between 20-30 divs worth of stuff with standouts being 11 div amanamus eye, 2-3 2 div items, and a 6 div dying sun flask.

800 before haggling? cause you could easily get it under 500.

Logbooks for EITHER tujen or Dannig, since you can swap Dannig currency for Tujens.

Yea 800 before haggling. I guess 500 would be achievable but 600 would be safe. Would be hilarious if I started the minigame and couldn't afford them and put all the work into aquiring them.

Forgot about Danig. That should've been obvious but good look on that. Guess I'll start the grind.

Made it to maps, shortest league I've played yet. I'll probably hop on here and there but not expecting much.

I get that raw tinks aren't usually a majority of the profits, but getting zero feels bad.

Tree would be cool with easier blood gain, and the new breach doesn't seem to drop anything worthwhile. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance but oh well.

It's still rewarding tbh. I'm in the same boat as Xevy where I've made like ~30 div and probably have another 10d in stash I can't be assed to sit and toss on the exchange/bulk sell just yet.

But I'm geared out like I've spent 100d in other leagues while spending 5% of that.

They just patched something too but haven't read notes.

yea that patch is clutch, hated failing a hive and getting nothing for the 5 minutes it takes I could have run a 4wing grand heist or 3 maps in alll that time. I’m doing around 13-15 mil dps and can barely keep up with the last few waves on t16. The extra freezes and ailith shields will be huge

Been having old man problems during this league, back/neck hurting so I have not played as much as I would have liked. Only at lvl88 with my RF Chieftain.

Had 2 raw Divine drop so far, one from 2nd lab and one from tree. Also lucked out with a Unique shield from the tree for 5 Divine.

With that I could make some decent upgrades but still sporting campaign rings/amulet lol. Always broke, that's my PoE way.

But the build is quite tanky now and I clear maps easy. Just whish my body and health was not falling apart IRL so I could farm for more than an hour.

Fortress changes are good. Passed the 2 I did so far but they were in lower tier maps but its nice they are available now. Still feel like for my build (mamba) one shotting the boss is much more time/reward profit tho.

Looking at some of these foulborn uniques gonna make it hard not to do Chieftain as my second class.

Tried for like 2 hours today and got up to 15ish atlas points, dropped a single chaos and a handful of more common bubblegum currency. (Instilling / jewelers / chromatics / etc.) A single boots drop that wasn't great aside from 30% movement speed, those were worth it.

Drops just feel shitty compared to the last league I played......(Settlers?).

I'm sure there's better tech and things improve towards T16+ maps, I'm just not super motivated to get there. Also completed my first Fortress Breach thingy and the DOT damage where you have to "escape" kicked my ass pretty quickly. Not a huge fan. Guessing it does chaos damage since my resist is still negative.

Not even in red maps yet and I've made 6 raw div from Tujen and about 2ish div on bubble gum currency for my various psuedo ssf needs like alt spamming clusters etc. Speaking of, the augment QoL is so fucking nice it really can't be overstated.

I've also made some baller Rog crafts, just not for my build.

I should probably try and actually do Kingsmarch, and find a decent early league strat but I think I'm just too lazy. I still need to get my flasks automated and more links to get some defense shit going but I am a scrub trade player with no currency....

I will learn SSF one day but it won't be this league!

I always feel the same way in early maps. It may be the worst part of the game outside of the first 5 levels.

This is just a map thing that happens to everyone right as you start. My cure for this is to force Harvest because it is always incremental profit. I do it as I progress the map tiers and it is trivial to sell through the exchange.

So if I fit a bit of rarity I should start seeing chaos / exalts more frequently in yellow / red maps? Honestly don't even think I've seen a single exalt drop yet but I could be wrong on that.

Even the currency part of the tree hasn't really been too good for me yet, though I probably only tried it 10 or 15 times.

Haven't started Kingsmarch either because I hated babysitting the damn town every session.

I wouldn't worry about rarity. But you should largely just focus completing your atlas and getting at least 2 void stones. When you get to red maps then start adding scarabs. I've been running legion, deli, beyond since I hate waiting on mechanics and average 25-30c a map in drops/sellables. My T16 pref is beach while I get to 4 voidstones so it takes me <5 minutes to blast everything and loot.

The biggest mistake people usually make is trying to run an atlas currency strategy too soon. You should definitely be focusing on a map completion Atlas until ~90 points and 2 stones.

The new graft tree is insane for gearing and gambling is still as strong as ever early for decent upgrades all the way to red maps.

Search youtube for graft tree unlock and crafting guides (for once the league mechanic is actually very straightforward and easy to understand)

So hadn’t done heist in ages. I decided my goal this league would be to farm a simplex and then split it, use one and sell the other to fund the rest of my builds.

around 200 wings in and I’m feeling pretty burned out. Anyone have good ideas for money making currently? Just farm blood and for jackpot drops? I don’t like that mechanic as I don’t like sitting at a tree all day for my game time. I’ve already done einhar beast farming, svalinn hunting or syndicate and don’t want to do that again. Is delve or sanctum worth doing again, haven’t done those in ages

Yeah, I typically always run a Kirac + Shrine strategy until the 2nd stone and then start swapping over to the content I want to run for that league. Most content feels like total ass if you don't have enough Atlas points.

Harvest is about the only one that you can still get something out of at low Atlas point totals, but you still get a very minimal amount of juice if you don't have the right nodes.

Depends on the strength of your build, but blight is great for early-league, because you can cheese it with ring enchants if your build is not strong enough. Dont take the spawn faster or the oops all bosses nodes until youre confident of your strength. This works especially well because early atlas focuses on maps, so you can get even more blighted maps with the node that gives you a 60 second buff turning all map drops blighted. Even better this league since they removed soul eaters from blight. Heist can be really good earlyleague too because heist contracts dont need to be juiced, and you can get fully revealed blueprints to either run or sell.


For early league strategies, i always try to look for something that doesn't require any scarabs, so that it meshes well with the node that gives you 20 extra atlas points.

Against my better judgement I decide to budget craft a new weapon and hit t9 fire damage. Still only 4 div into it so meh.

Got my build going, clearing the atlas, zero worthwile drops in maps in 4 hours of mapping.

I'm done. Not a crafter enjoyer, I want the Tinks in maps to stay interested. Mechanics was nice but the loot is not there for me.

Anno 117 soon!
