Alva truly is the reason I enjoy early money making one of the most enjoyable mechanics imo can’t wait to try the cursed treasure node. Incursion was my my first league i got to maps
@@clubibi if you’re going alva 100% theirs no point not to take it just going to be some exta bubble gum mostly low tier currency any chaos i did get 2 exalts and a divine from it im pretty sure. I dont have the best sample size as i normally play the league casually for 2 months i only played for 2 weeks of necropolis and im pretty slow player. I will be going it again this league as i will be playing a lot more. I think the node at the bare minimum just makes it a whole lot more fun. If you went in with 2 cursed treasures you would get light currency but i found 5-6 cursed treasure and just get tons of low currency(including chaos). Worked well with my strat of typically bulk selling low currency with expedition. If the rewards increase with map tier might be interesting planning to test that this league
I am not sure what's wrong, maybe I am making something wrong or I misunderstood this vid entirely. I wanted to change the layout of the map, Alva was giving me a room which I didn't wanted. So I left it on that map, opened another new map but its the same room again. This hasn't changed no matter how many new maps I open. What am I doing wrong here? Or has this changed? Or better to ask, what do you mean under map. Do you refer to the temple layout as a map or the normal maps we run? if so then how do I get rid of the unwanted room? I run another new temple layout? but my previous one I worked for is useles then? I am confused.
Once you talk to Alva, that room is locked, and she will only ever offer that room until you run it. Once you have finished it, you cannot get that room again unless you run another map.
@@PathofEvening Yes but you mentioned when I have let's say 2 rooms left and I want to have my desired room like the corruption room you had but not chosen. Then you said you could have change it to t3 corruption room but I could not really follow on that part. Can you explain a little more in detail if it's not too much hassle?
Alva cannot select the room twice in a single map, so if you're trying to work on a room that you've already done in the map you're running, don't interact with her again in that map. Other than that, she's RNG. You can't control what room she'll pick.
I press the rusted incursion scarab to ensure that Alva comes to the map, but I cannot enter the map, it glows red and the map does not open.What is the reason?
Greetings from settlers of kalguur league. I do bone crypt temple spam when i just raised a little one through the story or when I'm occupied and want to do some chill side content and i do get a stack of divs every... I'd say 15 maps? Every 5 or so completed temples? That sounds about right. Had 1 div several times and had as high as a 4 div stack once. If that was the flesh merchant: much Love, little merchant
No, it's day 2 of a league and they can be farmed for just the cost of t1 white maps. There are a lot of players farming Alva right now, and not a lot of currency to go around, both of which are driving down the price. Locus of Corruption temples will continue to appreciate in value as players move on to other farm strategies.
You can get 104% chance to spawn Alva from Atlas passives. She has a baseline 8% chance to spawn, so you really only need 92% from the passive tree to guarantee her in every map.
You said there was an 8% base chance of Alva spawning. How confident are you about this? I've looked around on the wiki, and to me it seems like the base chance of all the masters spawning is 2%.
@@PathofEvening Ah, that sounds nice! Do you have a source for that claim? As i said, i was looking around on the wiki, and i was not able to find anything but the 2% :|
does alva always just gives itemised temple? Last time I did it, she didnt, but it was long time ago... Also thx for covering basics ALso I dont get what is resource reallocation does Killing non-resident (the one that upgrades the room) has 40% chance to add additional upgrade to surviving architect room what does it do? the one that survived -> he disappeared, his room is gone. I dont get it. So u cant add an upgrade to surviving architect room, he doesnt exist
Last Time I played Bladefall and had no time trouble, this league I'm playing Essence Drain and it feels like I never have enough time to find the keys, 120k DoT should be enough but it's mostly a nailbiter... Did they nerf the time added per mobs in the last year?
They haven't, but pack size in a map will carry over to Incursions, so if the pack size is lower there will be fewer monsters to kill in the Incursions, and less time granted by killing them.
i have 1 thing to say i dont know when did u make that video but prices of temple u show in video is confusing cuz now in necropolis any other room than Locus Of Corruption is not worth more than 50c, only Locus of corruption id worth 1 div Still best tactic but prices are 50/50 :/
@@PathofEvening still....ONLY locus of corruption is worth time :/ 140/150c and rest 45/50c... sad cuz in affliction league i could make 2.2 div with that mechanic
@@Sergio-sp1wo One important thing to note about the prices for these two last leagues is the atlas tree and the scarab rework. It is way easier to get Alva to spawn in your map now. The fact that you don't spend master missions or buy sextants to spawn Alva makes it both easier and faster to make Locus of Corruption and Doryani's Institute Temples, which is why the prices have gone down.
I have now confirmed that the base chance of Alva spawning is NOT 8%! I was running an atlas that gave me +96% chance to spawn Alva in my maps, and IF the base chance were 8%, that would mean a no show is impossible. So, for you, this is obviously anecdotal, but I now know for a fact that the base spawn chance of Alva is LESS than 4%. I'm gonna go ahead and guess the actual spawn chance is 2%, just like the wiki states. If that is the case, then i happened upon the unlucky 1/50 where Alva doesn't spawn. If the base chance of Alva spawning weirdly is 3%, then i happened upon that very unlucky 1/100 chance of her not spawning. Whatever the actual number is, it's not 8% as stated in this video, and further insisted upon when i asked you a couple of days ago...so, PSA i guess... This lesson cost me a wasted Incursion scarab of timelines 😢
Prior to 3.24, the 2% spawn rate was accurate and confirmed by GGG when they added Master Missions into the game around 6 years ago. That's the number the bad wiki (the Fandom one) still cites as accurate. When Patch 3.24 dropped, GGG massively increased master spawn rate bonuses from passive points, but removed missions entirely. They also made it possible for multiple masters to spawn in the same map, and there was a general belief from community testing that they copied over Extra Content spawn mechanics onto Masters. Extra Content has a base spawn rate of 8%. Alva's the worst mechanic for testing the spawn rate because she can simply not show up due to a completed temple that's ready to be run, and no other master works this way. So the answer is no one knows with absolute certainty, but extensive testing (many thousands of maps since 3.24) indicates it's more likely that you forgot a temple. Maybe you're right, not trying to gaslight. Either way, it's one extra passive point or a 1/50 chance to not get the mechanic. Not a huge issue either way.
@@PathofEvening Yeah, as i said, this is obviously anecdotal to you. You don't know what atlas i used and if it ACTUALLY had 96% spawn chance, or if i just thought it had. You also don't know if i f-ed up in other ways, like the temple was already complete, or w/e. So, i guess, whatever i say to you, it'll remain anecdotal. I know though :) I'm currently farming temples. That is literally all i do. Not doing any other mechanics or completing the maps or anything, just run incursions and go to next map. So, i quadruple-checked that i actually had exactly +96% via the atlas after this anomaly occured, and i had. As i said, i lost a scarab on it, and no sane person uses those costly scarabs if they don't know what they are doing, and i had 4 rooms left when this occurred. Again, literally w/e i say, you'll never be certain, but at least count this as a data point against that 8% spawn chance. I know for a fact that it's wrong, and in fact below 4%, but you'd have to do empirical testing to verify this... Honestly, if you wanted to, it's quick and easy to do. Just opening 50 maps (on average) and running until you see an incursion, then portaling out and run next map... This should take what... 10 minutes, max 20 (again, on average)? So if you really want to, it's easy to verify my findings. If you don't want to, then fine, all good, but be wary about claiming that 8% number again until you actually check it out for yourself :) I used the "good wiki" to find that 2% number btw. Look up "Extra Content" on poewiki and see for yourself. Of course you can say "Not a huge issue either way." and well, i guess that is subjective, but surely you guys care about being accurate? Then ppl can choose for themselves if they want to actually get 100% or risk the "1/50 shoot and miss"... All i did here was alert you about that 8% not matching up with my findings. Do with that what you will.

Have a good league start!
hello mate ty for your guides gonna start tr for safe start :)
Are you going to stream your league start? Would be awesome to watch!
i were gonna ask that aswell
Unfortunately, we missed your comment. But we might do it next time.
Your vids are great mate. Loved this one, the essence one, all of them. Great series, great series idea.
Thank you!

Sounds like you've finished your temple and need to take a Chronicle from Alva.

Very nice!
important correction @ 1:31 . the room will change based on which unique mini boss you have killed. NOT to the one that is left to live/despawn.
Those are the same thing.
GL & HF to everyone , will see some of you ingame later on after work , so go big ppl ;)
Absolutely!
Checking chronicle prices and locus worth 25 chaos. ( open room in settings ). i suspect that i do something wrong?

I get the Torment room when there's nothing better as Sadist Den buffs the boss which helps (I hope) the drop rate of the Adorned piece
Maybe!
Wait, I must have missed that :o How Alva is guaranteed now only from Atlas passive?
