Leave the Karui shores and head to your hideout. You should have access to all the NPCs and the map device from the privacy of your own custom built hideout. It's much more comfy than being in the epilogue town.
Your hideout also loads much faster than karui shores!
@@qryvein what the heck are you talking about? never heard that one before xD
Heck yeah, thank you
Mate tries to avoid all seasonal content for some reason, yet spends all his chaos orbs on Torment...true madman.
I had NO idea they were a seasonal piece of content LOL
@@NyxVellum everything you can add to a map with the map device is from a season. Each season the things rotate, meaning different content is available as addon with the map device (some things are permanent).
@@NyxVellum every 3-4 months poe releases a BRAND new season and its a whole brand new game mechanic, the next season will not have the previous seasons mechanics in it but the following season usually does (depending on what it does) SO every legion monolith, blight etc... those are all from previous seasons !!! So this game just INFINITELY grows!! It seriously never ends!! So evert 3-4 months they add a WHOLE new game mechanic, new skills gems, remove skills gems, change skills gems, change and add new equipment etc.... its almost a whole new game every few months
@@ExiledDelver they removed skill gems? cant remember anything like that..
@@Insane-Saint Right, I dont even remember writing this xD I dont recall skill gems ever being taken out either.
Finding 6 links that early into maps is absolutely insane btw. nevermind that you found as many as you did off one monster. PoE "loot goblins" are great.
Also you found an aegis so early wtf? actually crazy lucky. Sadly this league a lot of uniques aren't worth too much, but any other league (or even solo self found) this would've been an insane drop.
@@evilgibson In literally his first map of the league? Throughout the league yes you'll find tons of these provided you're grinding the game out, but this is something different.
@@linamiller4208 At one point I was mad if I didn't get Tabula by act 6 😅 Earliest was act 3
Man I didn’t understand how rare six links were and I sold 2 six link bows and 2 six link chests for the fusing orbs.
@@neosharkey7401 They're worth selling if either A: You don't need them, or B: it's later in the league and people also don't need them.
quick tip, always pick up 6 links, you can sell them to vendors if you don't use them for 20 fusion orbs
My man actually got 4x 6 links from his first rare mob in his first map.. then proceeded to leave them on the ground
Peak new player experience right there :P
he has a 6 link weapon and armor already. real new player
@@rimpri A random trash 6 link is probably like 5chaos this point in the league
he is sticking to SSF for now, and each one of those he left behind is 20 fusing orbs he could have used to help upgrade his own gear @@KingJerbear
wooow thats crazy.....
@@Devon12928 He has 2 six links, exarch / eater influenced boots and a stygian vise before running any maps. he definetly got hand outs so you cant call it ssf
This is what I'm so happy about concerning the Path of Exiles community... reading the comments here, so many people taking the time to help explain things and give tips and tricks! You guys friggin rock and I'm really happy to be a part of the community!
Yeah it's awesome
You forgot one point on your passive skill tree between duelist start and precision keystone! That one point gives you life and mana leech, that's why you are out of mana all the time, you don't have mana leech.
this so much, as a vet player i can only get a bit nervous hahaha Jokes aside, mana/life leech is basically a must for most attack hit based builds, and actually the earlier you grab it the better since it will free up so much pressure on mana especially thus more auras from earlier on and also a flask slot which is HUGE
"People tell me this is where the end-game really begins. That anything before this didn't even scratch the surface. I wonder what that means..like what is the incentive?." - A man walking into a decade+ of high cadence updates and content.
Maybe the universe looks like this :D
It is the fact that every map is different
You can get overpowerd boss
Or two bosses at once or moment when you summon three previous map bosses into other map and fightvthem
Or 15 rogue exiles at one place
The possibilities are endless and it makes the grind much more "enjoyable"
Act 10 is the end of the tutorial. Filling out your atlas and reaching t15 maps is the early game. Carrying out your league strat and investing 50+ divines into your build is midgame. Finishing up pinnacle bosses and becoming rich is late game and pushing level 100 and min maxing this build or starting your second build to invest your several 100's of divines is the end game. Having fun, making meme character builds, and bricking your mageblood is the post game.
The unique Champion Kite Shield that dropped for you is rare and quite good for some builds. It is called The Aegis Aurora. Glad you're having fun!
Please tell me you didn't leave the 4 six links on the ground...
😆
Yeha because the 6 links are the insane drop this video LMAO
Lol I was thinking the same thing
at this point he will leave mageblood on the ground either, ordinary unidentify heavybelt. still much fun and exiting to watch thou
Oh he did... And I saw a mad lad with 4 spare fusings walk into the room after... And he had a bad gleam in his eyes!!!!
If you hold alt while you hover mouse over a map, it shows whether you have completed it already. It's most useful in Kirak missions, as he often gives you maps you haven't found yet. And completing more maps means more altas passives.
You should try to kill most mobs in a map. No need to run around looking for monsters if there are under 50 remaining, but you should kill most packs. Comparing to D4, maps are kind of like nightmare dungeons, you do them mostly for loot. And there are various league mechanics that increase amount of loot you get and often give some items that you can only get from said mechanic. For example breach (purple hands you found twice) spawns a bunch of additional monsters (more items and exp) and you get breach splinters and breach rings.
Most league mechanics also have some form of a boss/hard content. In case of breach, it's breachlords, access to whom you get by collecting breach splinters. Breachlords drop uniques that you can't get anywhere else. For expeditions (explosive placement) you sometimes get logbooks, which have more expedition, expedition lore and expedition bosses. All 10 "main" mechanics work like that. Basically, you do them and if you like that mechanic and do it a lot, you sometimes can do better version of that mechanic.
You also have essences, strongboxes, rogue exiles and tormented spirits. They spawn in maps, but do not have their own endgame, although all of these are rewarding. (rogue exiles not so much)
The fact he got aegis kinda cracks me lmao
Was gonna say that, he started maps with 6L weap and armor, bunch of 6L at the start and then an aegis, that's a decent league start if I've ever seen one.
whats an aegis if you dont mind to explain? I am kinda new to the game too and never heard of it lol
@@guilhermegoncalves3197 It's a unique shield that he dropped, unique champion kite shield.
It can have up to around 1000 armor and 250 energy shield, plus resistances, regen energy shield when you block and other things. With good armor/ES roll it can be hella expensive to get (I've never gotten one in SSF).
aegis is an amazing unique shield. It gives several bonuses, but the part that makes it really good is the modifiier "recover energy shield equal to 2% of armor on block". With a lot of energy shield and an insane amount of armor, as well as max block chance, you will constantly be gaining a ton of energy shield back as you go through maps, so its very strong defensively. SOme builds even stack millions of armor making them recover thousands of ES per block
@@guilhermegoncalves3197 to follow up, the reason Aegis Aurora is so good is because not only is it a fairly beefy shield, it gives +5% max cold res (a huge amount), and it's main gimmick is that whenever you block, you instantly recover some Energy Shield. By taking Glancing Blows (double block chance/take 65% of damage from blocked hits) and getting your attack and spell block up, you can end up taking less damage from the weaker mobs than you recover, making you essentially immortal. Even against bosses, that recovery basically makes most hits just do less damage _after calculation_, and considering your goal is to reduce incoming damage by as much as possible, for some hits that could be half or more of the hit, giving you really good survivability against bosses.
the whole time i was just wishing he would put that one point into the mana leech lmao
yeah even his POB has life/mana attack leech small node next to the accuracy one he was going, and skipped it, woulda solved his mana problems easily :D
This here is the typical result of following build guides when you are new and why its a bad idea. You just copy the pob without understanding why or to what end exactly you are choosing those passives. He ignores all rares on the ground because the pob has different basetypes. Meanwhile there could be stuff lying there with all the res he needs.
Get to know the game, then look up a few guides.
@@spbalance Without following the pob you are never taking that node, he would be in the same situation. He doesn't know what to do to fix the mana sustain. The only difference is that if you follow the pob in the right way, you can actually do it right.
Not even mentioning that he wouldn't be in maps at this point and specially with his current strength (power) without a guide.
You need to understand that people quit a game if its boring for a few hours, poe is a massive game and guides allow people to see the game, have fun and learn about the game.
Yes yes, we get it, you did it all by yourself yada yada, when you started playing poe in 1850 when the game was literally 3 acts.
@@aldodzb
It’s so important to have people with your mindset speaking up in the community, otherwise judgemental gatekeepers poison the future welcoming experience for literally everyone
The things you've been calling "seasonal content" are not seasonal content, those are all core features that were implemented into the game permanently after first being introduced in a league. And that applies to many things you don't realize- shrines, strongboxes, tormented spirits, ascendancy classes, were all league mechanics once. Don't ignore these things, they are important parts of the game and your progression. The actual league mechanic for the current league is something you should be doing now too, once you reach maps is when you are supposed to start doing it.
DONE! Thank you
first map, 4 6-links right at the start
meanwhile, I drag my feet to red maps with a godamn tabula
That was interesting to see newcomer in maps, and I agree that it's quite complicated. I try to collect here few tips:
- 6-links collect always those, those are really good to have, don't vendor them but keep in stash so if you make another character you get right away 6-linked item for it.
- For start I would recommend not to use map crafting at (when you put map you can select for example Fortune Favours the Brave) at start because Chaos orbs (what those cost) are common currency in trade.
- When doing maps, "white" maps needs to be magic quality, yellow maps needs to be rare quality and red maps needs to rare + corrupted (Using vaal orb on them).
- Items can 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes, I recommend enabling in Options -> Ui -> In items section, Show Full Description, that helps to see how many prefixes and suffixes you have, and then craft in crafting bench something good for yourself in spare slots.
- Atlas Passives, I would recommend taking Essences and as many maps passives (more map drops) as you can at first
Just to add on: corrupting an item (including a map) means that it can potentially have up to 8 modifiers. 4 prefixes and 4 suffixes, making them more dangerous but more rewarding.
okay, tormented spirits can ''touch'' normal and magic mobs (they get the little flame above their head) and possess rares and uniques, the former gives some small bonuses both to their attacks (or adding additional effects like them exploding on death) as well as their rewards, while the ladder can give them big boosts to specific drops, like make the mob drop a lot of currency or drop corrupted items.
you would ideally try to get them to posses rares or uniques if possible, cause killing them in their spirit form doesn't give any good loot really.
And here’s my noob ass going “Ghost! Quick kill it before something bad happens” lol.
Ty for explaining. I’ll have to give Casper a reprieve for a bit now to see what happens.
It wasn't until this video I consciously realized you could just sit in Kirac's war room forever instead of going to your hideout like a normal person
😂
Back in the early days of PoE before hideouts this is what you had to do (though it was the eternal lab, not Kirac's war room). You even had to "crunch" portals by going in and out to use them all up before you could put in a new map. Ahh the good old days of no QoL :)
Remember meeting dialla in act 3 and seeing a door to the side? That's where we used to go for maps. No map tab. No stash in the area. Finish a map and go back to Sarn then back to wave to dialla before jumping through more portals.
@@ferinzz damn...
@@ferinzznot that I'd ever want to go back to that time, but it definitely was a memorable piece of diegetic design. While I appreciate less loading screens and centralised resources MUCH more than I miss having that neat little in game oddity, I AM a little sad it's gone.
"What this does? Hovers over, doesnt read, idk" Never change. :D
I know, right? There's no way he could figure out trade and he has 10 div in his stash. Someone clearly set up this character for him and he still has zero understanding of how the game works or what anything does.
9:20 Getting the mana leech node is more important early on! It will make you sustain your mana infinitely while fighting :)
All of us PoE players currently laughing because we knew once you started your first play through that you'd end up enjoying the game a lot. If people can make it through the first few acts they typically really start to enjoy the game, I know I did. I'm still a noob (250hrs) so tons to learn still but its just an amazing game.
I'm not laughing because some how he magically has 10 Divines and 200+ chaos after running a couple of white t1s......
@@BuzzaB77 he was streaming, someone probably just gave him some shit.
16:08 Just starting maps and having 400 Orbs of Unmaking, 10 Divines and 200 Chaos Orbs? What? How? XD
Also it bothers me more than i would like to admit that you are mapping from Karui Shores instead of from your Hideout ^^
But very entertaining Video, nice that you have fun :)
i didn't even had a single raw div drop after all 3 voidstones xdd
He streamed, handouts
yah also starting maps with 6 link weapon and body armour. whats the fun in learning the game if u just start with good items. It would feel so much better progressing the gear by saving up chaos trading noticing the power spikes. I feel like he went from doing everything by himself to full on handholding. Just playing with the build guide would have been better imo.
@@BuBl3gumRain he doesnt understand anything to follow a build guide. i think its probably for the better that he has some handouts and can do some content to see what is what, he can figure out the builds and items slowly over time, then again who knows maybe he would've been better off playing ssf.
You can hold ALT while hovering over a map to see if you completed it and if you also completed bonus objective, so map tab isn't that important for that reason. But it does hold an obscene amount of maps, while comes in handy later, and the auto sorting a big QoL.
Great tip
1 you can install the map device in your hideout
2 portals in map works another way than in campaign, they never close.
It's good idea to use portal scroll before bossfight
omg I have done like 100 maps and never dropped sixlink and you got 4 of them on your first map, nice..
he dropped an aegis aurora too! it is cheap this league unfortunately but a good shield
It's not like he needs the luck either, did you notice he has 200+ chaos and 10 Divines?
Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔
@@BuzzaB77 Aw, I hadn't noticed that. Kind of diminishes the whole point of this, really. The first 10 divines are the toughest to farm, and arguably the biggest learning experience in the whole game. If he's just being given them, that really undermines, well, pretty much everything he's done.
Man this begginner's luck is INSANE not only you dropped 4 6 links in your first map but you also dropped an insanely rare shield in that tier 6 map.
lil tip btw you can have a map device in your hideout, if you go in decorations and search for it, you ll be able to place it and do maps from your hideout
also CIP i mean wtf :D
Streamer luck is real
I cried when you left those 6 links there that early in your adventures. Never leave those, unless you're sitting on like 200 div.
This was peak a PoE beginner moment 😂
I love that you're doing content at your own pace. Shows that people don't have to worry about mastering everything right away. Looking forward to your future videos about the new season stuff and the older content as well!
damn a 6 link out of the campaign and the fist rare mob on your first map dropping 6 links is nuts. smooth start we heaving :D
why is everyone talking about the damn 6 links xD he dropped an agies from a t6 map boss xD
@@hulubuluhejhej2721 because most of players (even 1k hours+) dont know what an aurora is or does.
@@hulubuluhejhej2721 yep thats even more disgusting too bad its worthless this league due to MF power creep
A few tips:
- you can spec into one mana leech node in your passive tree to help with your mana problems ( i think your guide also has it )
- for now, just enjoy mapping and exploring more maps. you will eventually discover minor and major bosses ( all of which can be witnessed by maven - you have read the names of these bosses at the end of this video )
- there are many more secrets and things to discover
30:20 you're missing the small mana/life leech node. Might be the reason of your mana issue.
The purple hands are called Breaches and they are one of my favorite mechanics :)
As you saw when you touch them they spread out temporarily. When they spread they reveal monsters you couldn't previously interact with and tiny hands you can open like loot chests. There is unique loot types you can only get from breaches (mostly):
Breach rings - these are just rings that are twice as good while you're standing in a breach. They aren't very good for general mapping content unless you specifically build around them with a special skill gem that's super rare. However! You can collect 60 (full inventory) of them and sell all 60 at once to get a special type of body armour with unique modifiers.
Breach splinters - These are a collectable. There are 5 types each corresponding to one of 5 Breach Lords (end game boss). Collect 100 of the same type and they will make a breachstone which is a special map that brings you to the breach lord's domain. They have special uniques only they can drop when you beat them. You wont get breachstones very often unless you spec into the breach mechanic on the atlas tree.
watching you experience all this for the first time brings me absolute joy. Keep it up!
25:15 - "If I cant do exposure, will that ruin my build??? *every mob is exploding* Ohh I guess not"
LMAO, never had a big laugh in a poe vid, Im loving this dude.
That 4x 6-link drop was nuts! The Tier VI map you struggled with at 35:04, it was due to a Tormented Spirit - those floating green guys. They can dive into any miniboss/boss, and when they do they make that enemy a fair bit harder but it drops more loot. It's more loot than just killing the tormented spirit, but there's not always a miniboss to drive them toward.
You can sell any 3 of the same map to the vendor for 1 random map of the next higher tier, but the randomness varies between each individual map ITEM, not the map TYPE. So if you have 5 Glacier maps, selling 3 may get you a Fields map, but swapping out one (or more) of those 3 Glacier maps with a different one will give you a DIFFERENT Tier 2 map. This is a life saver for filling out your atlas.
ALSO if you do a Kirak mission it refreshes his shop inventory so you can buy more maps.
just watched the entire acts and now this. definitely my favourite series of watching a new player get into poe.
Watching you discover the endgame of my favourite game is one of the most wholesome things I've ever watched.
''I'll pick up this random 6 socket item, maybe I can sell it later''... cute ;)
You are on the right track when you say that it's hard to work out what would be good for your build. It's the same finding items worth selling, there are SO many affixes and combinations and each affix has tiers also. 90% of the stuff you pick up is not worth anything except to vendor for alterations (rare items) or alchemy orbs (unique items). Or of course if you think it will be good for your build.
Trade is an integral part of the game, intended, to get upgrades for your build. Also, you can buy maps from other players on trade. This can help you fill out your atlas passives if you get bad rng and can't get a specific map to drop.
GGz on smashing the maven invitation and I shared your excitement first time doing end game bossing stuff too. There is waaay more of that to come and it gets even more exciting/rewarding.
Wish you good luck, stay sane Exile...
Thank you for all the likes, comments and all that jazz. You rock.
2 things:
- If you press TAB you see in the top right how many enemies are left. Make sure to continue a map to at least "less than 50 enemies" since more enemies = more kills = more drops.
- You can have the Map Device in your hideout. This way you can have your stash/NPCs to sell/Crafting table nearby.
Loved this video! :)
Adding different sacrifice fragments with a map increases item quantity drop. Also if you get Scarabs you can add those into the map device as well. Also you can upgrade maps. You need chartographers chisels and orbs of alchemy. Use the chisels first to increase the quality 5% each time capping at 20%
Then hit it with an orb of alchemy to turn it into a rare map. If you alchemy it first they will only go up 1% each chisel. So instead of spending 4 chisels you would have to spend 20. So always chisel first. Also you can corrupt the map with Vaal orbs but thats a gamble. It might increase the item rarity/quantity to a higher value like 120% to item quantity or rarity, it could stay the absolute same a do nothing, it can decrease the value of item quant/rarity and switch monster modifiers, or there is a chance that it changes the map into a different map(which i dont like due to specific item farming on certain maps.) However if you don't corrupt the map and you dont like the modifiers on the map you can hit it with a orb of scouring changing the map back into an unmodded gray map again still with 20% quality, then hit it with another orb of alchemy to get another rare map with new modifiers. You could use chaos orbs to just reroll a yellow map. But i wouldnt suggest doing that, as you will be finding all the other currencies I stated above much more often. Save your chaos orbs for things you want to buy, or for crafting.
Edit: Btw corrupting just like with the maps as I explained above does essentialy the same thing as what it does with maps. It can add extra modifiers to a piece of gear making it even better, it can do absolutely nothing except putting a corrupt display on the item making it unable to be rerolled unless you have scourge currencies, or it might change the item into a different item of the same type. Like changing a legendary back into a rare of the same item type.
Also what you are saying are seasonal aren't exactly, your half right. They are called league mechanics and they are just part of the base game, some seasons league mechanics were so well recieved they were just put in the game as event style mechanics that randomly appear throughout maps. Some you found through the campain but they are more frequent in maps and you can use the atlas to specialize in specific league mechanics you like through the Atlas,scarabs, etc. that way if there is a league mechanic you find you dont like you can specificaly remove it through the atlas tree. Wether or not you pick them (like the rogue exile) before starting a map doesn't mean it wont be in a map. All that does is force that league mechanic to be on that map.
casually dropping 6link ,CIP and aegis
And leaving the 6links on the ground haha
i just love those Beginner discovering PoE Videos. Leaves 4 Sixlinks on the ground and picks up a Breachring :D
Enjoy the ride my dude. Its going to be a good one ;)
I love how your excitement seeps through in your videos. I wish I could play this game for the first time again
It's enjoyable seeing you map for the 1st time, and glad you are following a guide now, as it makes for a better experience. Now you have done your 1st map, you get kirac and map device for your hideout, go place it in there and run maps from your hideout, its much better. You also have access to lily for gems and your stash can be placed closer to the map device etc, just customize to fit your taste.
I loved watching your progression with the game, my first time playing Poe i dropped on early game than i came back a year later and never left, the complexity of the game is often a complain for new players, but when you start to understand things that complexity start to involve you, was nice to see you're exitement about learning stuff, this video marks for me when you became a real exile! Hanamoana! =D
Hello Dude, you make so many good videos. It was so interesting to see you explore and learn about PoE from the beginning. Thank you for that and keep it up. greetings from Germany
If you buy points but supporter packs, you get a bunch of stuff plus equal amounts of points for dollars spent or something like that
Is that Sinvicta's Mettle? Sinvicta is a streamer who does a lot of Binding of Isaac content, btw, so you can find him on TH-cam if you want to see more of his content.
Keep up the nice work bud nice to see someone who just loves to play the game that's how real content growth is made
01:45 He did not leave the 6-links on the ground, did he? That is valuable... the 3-link chromatics aswell...
and then he finds a cold iron point and aegis aurora hahahaha, imagine this at leaguestart
Guess someone gave headstart of 10 div and 200c for our man. That explains how and why he was spending chaoses on tormented without hesitation
15:30 don't get hanged up on what a build says you need for resistance at a specific item, what's more important is that you get a correct balance of resistance for YOU at the current point in your build.
The items used are guide lines unless they're unique mandatory ones, even then you can use rares to supplement until you get them.
He was also looking at just the specific base that was in the build (wyrmscale) when there are many comparable or even better. Guess only ziz and pohx realize how much hand holding new players need :D
you can set map device in your hideout
and every six-link non-corrupted at least 10c on trade
alt + look at map shows completed it or not
You dont have to focus on just one type of game content but at the same time you absolutely can. Atlas tree is to find whichever mechanics you enjoy and haven't seen yet. There's boss nodes towards the top and upper sides.
The Maven = Lilith, basically. She's one of the harder pinnacle bosses and necessary for getting one of the Voidstones that unlock further options for customizing your maps. Two other pinnacle bosses are on this 'main track' but there are others you can fight. Accessing their uber versions is done through keystones on the atlas passive tree for all but the oldest one, Atziri. She has a built in damage reflect, so be careful.
Breach (the purple circle) is kill all the purple guys, yes. The Tormented ghosts need to possess a rare or higher mob. That makes the mob stronger, but also buffs their loot table, so if you can, try not to kill the ghosts early! They turn boss mobs into loot goblins! Crafting is complicated, but like all things in PoE, one thing at a time. White maps need to be blue (magic) in order to get the point from them, Yellow maps need to be Rare and Red maps need to be Rare and corrupted which you can do manually with a vaal orb. Have fun!
I just came from him playing all the campaign to this video. I’d say he’s definitely improved. Wow I’m proud of you dude
the way temple incursion works (if you want to play) is they give you time limit which would be increased the more mobs you kill (which would upgrade the room you are in). at the same time there is a key that drops that you can use to unlock doors that connect to other rooms. Once all incursion is completed, you can finally enter the temple according to what room you unlock, if you connect all the rooms, you can go through and fight the boss
the siege of the atlas thumbnail at 0:04 lol got me feeling like throwback tuesday
poE atlas is going to keep pushing you really hard until one of the two things happens: your character dies, is your computer dies from all the stuff on the screen
The 'only pick up what's relevant to me' strategy is a pretty good one for looting, but also:
Currency is always good to pick up
Six Socket/Six Link gear is always valuable, even if you're just going to sell it
Sadly this requires being able to learn/understand what is relevant, which is a pretty big ask.
loving the poe videos. I hope you keep progressing and continue to higher tier maps because I believe you will love the bosses when you get to them.
I love your style nyx, so clean and fresh. Keep up the good work bro.
In most cases, Corruption stops you from modifying an item any further after you Corrupt it. It can have some very, very unpredictable results, like adding new, unique implicit properties to an item that you can't normally get, or bricking a Unique item into a Rare item.
The best thing to do with extra maps is to run them for more map drops. If you're lucky, you'll get a higher tier map, which will let you go further in the Atlas.
Noticed at @30:25 you are missing the 1 point life/mana leech on the right side of the tree. That would fix your mana issues. You also don't have to clear the map before the boss. It's actually pretty common to kill the boss first and then continue doing the map. Goal to be to have fewer than 50 monsters remaining in the area which you can see at the top right corner when minimap is overlay.
In the settings menu you can turn off screen shake:)
Also you should try to be clearing the maps, especially this early on
40:30 what masterly crafted thing did we get on D3 lol?
Good job Nyx, I started last league and 700 hours or so later I'm wreacking 80-100% deli maps. This game is a blast.
Loving the videos. Also, you can right click the gem level button (on Clarity for example) when you want to hide the button (capping the level unless you manually do it from your inventory later).
Jesus I've never seen a 6 link that early, never mind 4! In fact I don't usually see them until I've finished most maps on the atlas.
Loved it. Your luck is actually insane. 4 6 links and an aegis of aurora that soon is great. My advice for the "seasonal content" as you call it is pick 1 thing at a time to learn after you get your foundation down. Essences are a great place to start.
Yeah Maps are just a nice way to tackle the "Endgame"
There are the "Base" Maven Invitations where you fight map bosses and there are the "Special Ones" like Formed/Elderslayers/Feared which let you fight Multiple Endgame Bosses at the same time
Just a few recommendations:
1. Customize your hideout or find a cool premade hideout of your liking. There is a map device in your hideout and all relevenat vendors are available to you there.
2. Hold Alt while mousing over a rare item to see which mods are suffixes or prefixes. Rare items can have up to 3 suffixes and 3 prefixes. You can use the crafting bench in your hideout to craft on a mod you need if the item is not full on affixes. This is tremendously helpful for your resistances (I think your amulet has an open suffix for an additional resist mod).
3. Read your map mods haha.
the silken hoods were from a hidden loot mod on the pack called treant horde, it makes all the monsters drop the same base type iirc
Be sure to open the map tab and right click the tab itself to set the affinity for that tab. Then whenever you try to put a map into your stash, it will automatically be put into your map tab (unless you hold Ctrl+Shift). You can do this with other tabs too.
You should also go to your hideout and find the various lockers or place them somewhere in your hideout. Open them up and click the affinity button in the lower right corner of the screen. Then whenever you try to put something in your stash that is better placed in these lockers, the item will go into the lockers instead (like Rogue Hideout currency).
the "green thing that keep disappearing" is a tormented spirit. it can touch regular mobs to make them bit powerful, and can torment a rare mob to make him really powerful.
such monsters give you more experience and better loot
You should consider doing the Veridian Wildwoods in each of your maps. It's the reason the league exists. The wisps you collect there will empower enemies in your maps causing them to drop greater rewards.
If you hold alt while hovering over a map it will tell you if you have completed it and if you have done the bonus objective, you don't need the map tab just for that
Describing killing monsters as popping bubble wrap is so accurate lol. That’s why we love Poe!
It's so cool watching you discover this game. You're learning really fast! I can't wait for the breaking into red maps arc. Edit lol wtf you dropped an aegis aurora. You maybe didn't know, but that was a highlight.
You can press alt and highlight a map to see if you already finished the map for atlas completion.
To solve mana problems, you can just take 1 mana leech node just on the right side of the mana nodes you put your points into. You don't need the mana nodes, just mana leech nodes. Those mana nodes are important if you're using a lot of auras.
For tormented spirits, don't kill it. Let it pass through mobs as it will upgrade them and provide better rewards. Tormented spirits can posses uniques or elite monsters if they see it which makes a tougher fight but better rewards. It's not worth it at earlier maps but you can test it out just to see.
For maps, selling 3 of the same name to the vendor gives you 1 random map of 1 tier higher. Selling 3 strand maps (t3) will result random t4 map. Also, same map types can be good for you. If you have a map layout that you liked, (i like fields) i can do that map over and over again and put a lot of modifiers to famr better items just because that map is comfortable for me to run.
Watching him activate all his map in kaorui shore kinda hurts my soul a little bit for some reason..lol
game is ez pz when someone gives you 10s of divines and six links
Welcome to maps! The true grind beings!
The buttons below the Maven one at the map device lets you bring for example Syndicate missions to your maps (which you wanna do if you are looking into crafting).
Also just place a map device to your hideout, and the npcs, much more nicer.
Also please check the Heists, they are really cool and thematic.
Do the season wisp mech at the start of the maps. It's pretty much free juicing without using resources. Makes it little bit challenging (careful it might make some mobs impossible to kill) and could drop better loot. Plus if you haven't finished quests in there you work towards it.
I actually got 2 divines before I even finished the story because of the seasonal mech.
The bubble wrap description is perfect.
I've been looking forward to this for weeks now, dude!
Fun watching you get into mapping, this is where you get hooked lol. One tip on figuring out which items are good, if you download path of building and import your character, you can just copy past the item you are curious about and it will calculate your dps changes etc
seeing someone so new experiences this for the first time is so cozy and cute
I've been getting the occasional lag hitch myself over the last week or so, I usually only have connection issues during a league launch, but this league is so damn juicy people are still playing.
helmet has no life and no resists: Now, this, is pretty good!
It really feels like you let a coin toss decide which items are good or bad
especially when you decide before you even identify the item
Your Streams on PoE are so much fun, hope you keep on doing them - i am also new to the game so watching you live feels like improving together 💛
Maven thing is one part of the boss fights, which gives you possibility to get very valuable items and other benefits. There's four big bosses, which give you items called voidstones, which is one more mechanism to modify and improve maps. You can roll those modifiers with sextants, which you'll find from maps.
A little warning is in place about those bosses and some smaller ones. It's not goid idea to go into those fights without some preparation. There are mechanics you need to avoid, or you'll be single shotted too many times to be fun. Many times you need to do dozens of maps to get new invitation, or pay bug money to buy one.
30:25 there was a point in mana leech that you missed, that’s why the mana was always low, that single point should fix the mana issues
Some monsters (both rare and magic I believe) have a modifier that causes them to drop a large number of the same item base at the same rarity, although sockets, quality, and the specific mods on the items are rolled randomly for each. In the case of rares, it will be one mob that explodes into a load of the same item. In the case of magic mobs, each will have a high chance to drop the designated item.
You asked about why you were out of mana in that one map. When you roll the map (made it rare with alch orb), you really should take a quick look at all the mods it adds. This map appeared to have the "Players cannot regenerate life, mana, or energy shield" mod on it (I can tell at exactly 29:30 when your ES and life were stationary once you stopped leeching).
So, you only source of mana and life recovery during that map was from flasks and leech
This is my first league in full, i have 2 characters between 95-97 doing whisp juiced t16s and delving, and I have never had a single mob drop multiple 6-links like that. Wild start dude lmao
Selling 3 of the same map will give you a map one tier higher. If you have more than 3 of the same map, changing which of the 3 maps you're selling can also change the map that is given back to you, so be sure to mix and match until you get a map that you want or haven't completed.
