Double Corruption Chambers, Alva's Lapidary Lens and a couple other things from Incursion are more valuable than usual this league - and you can use this to make a bit of currency.

Alva temple generation is particularly good for beginners as it doesn't require an overwhelmingly powerful character.

POE 2023 - Endless Delve Recap - How It Worked, How It Was Broken - Path Of Exile - November Events

sirgog 2023-10-19 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

It's 3.23 waiting room time! While waiting for GGG to announce the 2023 November events, I thought I'd recap the always popular Endless Delve event, which isn't guaranteed to be one of these events, but probably will be.

Generally the event is lots of fun for 15 or so hours, after which (in my opinion anyway) it starts to get a bit stale. It's also REALLY broken with corpse explosion ignite builds, which can hit DOT cap level damage on dumpster tier gear and oneshot basically everything.

Of course, all of this is subject to change when GGG announce the actual events. It's all speculative that Endless Delve is returning.

POE 3.22 - 2023s Biggest Player Discovery So Far - How Tainted Mythic Orbs Work - Path Of Exile

sirgog 2023-10-12 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

I've been a part of this research but the main players have been PoorFishWife, NerdyJoe, Krolya and a few others.

We believe we've worked out the formula of how tainted mythic orbs work.

Orbs applied to bases without common (T4 or T5) uniques:
T0 unknown, about 1 in 2500
T1 about 0.6%
T2 about 1.25%
T3 about 7.5%
T4 about 35%
T5 about 50%

Orbs applied to bases with common uniques:
Calculate as above, but if all the uniques add to more than 50%, scale all chances down so the sum is 50%. Example, Iron Staff the chances add to 150%, but 50% is the limit, so divide the chances by 3 for all uniques.

Unfortunately, we do not know whether Aegis Aurora is Tier 1 or Tier 2. But most other tiers are known.

List of unique tiers (still a work in progress, krolya and/or NerdyJoe will go public with this when they are ready): sirgog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unique-tiers.xlsx

0:00 Intro
0:20 The Team Behind This Discovery
1:27 Mythic Orbing Jewels Is Good (Lots Of T1s), This Was The First Hint
2:36 How Unique Item Rarity Tiering Works & All The Evidence For It
4:51 How Unique Rarities Have Been Tracked
6:59 Why This Matters - These Drop Estimates Predict Mythic Orb Results
7:20 How To Check Unique Tiers For Items The Quick Way - Looking At Trade Data
8:20 Mythic Orbs On Belts Are Bad. Here's What We Learned From That.
10:05 How Alpha's Howl Solved The Mythic Orb Problem
11:22 The Mythic Orb Formula - Initial version
12:43 Example: Solaris Circlet (4 uniques, 3 rare and 1 uncommon)
13:32 And How It Proved The Formula ... Probably... Correct
13:49 Quick Note On Chi-Squared Value For Those Of You Who Studied Statistics
14:28 Example: Iron Staff (3 uniques, all very common)
15:02 How The Chance To Get Specific Uniques Is Hurt By Other, Common Uniques
15:22 The Mythic Orb Formula - Simplified, For Bases Without T4/T5 Uniques
16:20 What About T0 Uniques Like Mageblood, Headhunter or Divinarius? We Aren't Certain, But Here's An Estimate
17:05 The Mythic Orb Formula - Simplified, For Bases With T4/T5 Uniques
18:02 The Best Use Case For Mythic Orbs - T3 Uniques With 'Special' Modifications Like +1 Power Charge Vaal Implicit Or Specific Influences

POE 3.22 - Craft +2 Minion Wands & Why It Works - Budgets 300c to 60 Div - Path of Exile Ancestor

sirgog 2023-10-07 | #PathOfExile #POE #crafting

Getting +1 to the level of minion gems and/or +1 to the level of all spell skill gems are both significant upgrades. Getting both at once is expensive... unless you know how fossil crafting works.

Then, there's some tricks that generalize to other crafts and allow you to force these modifiers to appear together through a process of elimination.

Correction: i60, not i55, is required at minimum. Generally exactly 82 is recommended.

POE 3.22 - Off Meta - Build Ideas For Unpopular Ascendancies - Path Of Exile Trial of the Ancestors

sirgog 2023-09-29 | #pathofexile #poe #ancestors

Everyone focuses on the most popular ascendancies but some of us... want to be hipsters and play the unpopular ones. Assassin, Chieftain, Gladiator, Necromancer, Berserker, Raider and more.

This video has a quick overview of build ideas that (with two exceptions) can all be done well on terrible gear in either trade or SSF, if you are looking for something new to play in the Ancestor league.

Or you can play it in my Toucan Returns private league - more info on that here: youtu.be/BAtO2y8yYY4 , if you are on PC you're welcome to make a character in it, and it starts when this video is about 12 hours old.

POE 3.22 Come Join My Private League! Toucans Treasure Hunt Returns - Path of Exile - Ancestor

sirgog 2023-09-27 | #privateleague #POE #PathOfExile

The Ancestor version of the Toucan's Treasure Hunt private league is returning, and open to PC POE players, whether you were along for the test run in Crucible or not. It will have a slightly harder ruleset than the core game.

This private league is open to players who are looking for a fresh economy with some impactful but not brutal rules.

There will be frequent 'scavenger hunt' style objectives published. These will go for 48 hours and are for fun only.

We are also politely asking (but not enforcing) that players use unpopular Ascendancies, to add to build diversity.

Start time: Friday 29-Sep in the USA, Sat 30-Sep in Australia and it's 4 hours later than leaguestart. (Sorry Europe)

Finish time: Main event goes 20 days but will be extended if people want it to be (after this your character and stash will be dumped into Ancestor Softcore Trade)

POE 3.22 - Awakened Sextant Listings In Trade Are A Problem. Again. Path of Exile Trials Ancestors

sirgog 2023-09-20 | #POE #pathofexile #ancestors

You probably shouldn't trade for items that are listed in Awakened Sextants right now. The POE trade site is underpricing them.

But... they haven't taken over the market, because it looks like GGG added an RNG element (or something) to trade searches that causes them to not always show up in searches.

(The listing I made in sextants was for demonstration purposes only and was promptly removed)

POE LIVESTREAM: 200 Tainted Mythic Orbs In 3.22 - Two-Stone Ring Edition - Past Stream

sirgog 2023-09-18 | #poe #ancestors #pathofexile

Related video: A small sample test, youtu.be/bZBcyNezJCU

Our goal: To create something genuinely useful (to one niche use case anyway) - Shaper influenced Call of the Brotherhood with 20 quality and a Vaal implicit.

Items used in this video and the price I paid. Note, all prices are bulk prices (you can pay less if you spend ages shopping around, I'd rather overpay a little & spend that time running lucrative content like Heist :

- Bloodstained Fossil x200 (7 divines)
- Mythic Orb x 200 (I paid 13 divines, they are a little more now & you might have to pay 16 divines)
- Shaper-influenced two-stone (lightning/cold) ring. I didn't want to trade for these myself so paid someone a mirror shard (18 divines at the time) to get them all for me, that was 8 divines 'fair price' plus 10 divines for the many, many hours it took them
- 1-socket resonator x400 (Mostly self-farmed, fair price is 4.8 divines)
- Gilded Fossil x200 (these are 65 to the divine, so 3.1d)
- Scour x200 (0.3 divines)
- Caster Catalyst x800 (2.8 divines)
- Alch x200 (0.1 divines)

Cost I paid (including cost of self-farmed materials): 49.1 divines

Outcome (to fill in later):
Berek rings: 75
Destroyed entirely: 114
Call of the Brotherhood: 11

Call Implicits:
Hatred 19%
Hatred 16% with resist kept
Zealotry 16%
Wrath 17% with resist
24% rarity with resist
Grants Wrath 21
Tier 2 flat lightning with resist
5% Str and Dex, with resist x2

POE 3.22 - Tainted Mythic Orbs - Shaper Call Of The Brotherhood For Eternity Shroud - Path Of Exile

sirgog 2023-09-16 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

Introduced in patch 3.16, Tainted Mythic Orbs have never been cheaper than they are in patch 3.22...

They are pretty disappointing to use trying to make chase items like Mageblood, Headhunter or Divinarius, but they do some interesting things on carefully chosen bases where an influenced version of the item is FAR more valuable than the base item.

I'm doing the testing in this video on a larger scale (200 attempts) and will publicise the results when they are ready. Already have the mythic orbs, catalysts and rings. But this video shows the basics.

Results of 200 orb test: 114 destroyed, 11 Call of the Brotherhood, 75 Berek rings. Footage of test: youtube.com/live/_TFkFV4EqBQ

POE 3.22 - Stacked Decks Are Expensive But Still Worth Opening At 3.5c - RNG - Path of Exile

sirgog 2023-09-14 | #POE #pathofexile #ancestors

As discussed in my inflation video, Mageblood, Headhunter, Mirror of Kalandra and a number of other items like Elderslayer Exalts and Stranglegasp are way more expensive than usual in patch 3.22.

This is due to the decision by GGG to make the Sanctum quite common and as lucrative as it was in 3.20 - moreso than many players expected.

This has made Stacked Decks better on average than at any point since their big nerf in patch 3.7 (when they went from uber rare to quite common)

POE 3.22 - Inflation In Trade League - Why Chase Items Are Double Usual Prices - Path of Exile

sirgog 2023-09-11 | #POE #pathofexile #sanctum

Mageblood, Headhunter, Mirror of Kalandra and a number of 'less chase' items like Elderslayer Exalts and Stranglegasp are way more expensive than usual in patch 3.22.

This is due to the decision by GGG to make the Sanctum quite common and as lucrative as it was in 3.20 - moreso than many players expected.

Sanctum specialist characters are WEALTHY, and they can outbid everyone else.

I've tried to only discuss items whose acquisition mechanics and rarity haven't (noticeably) changed. HH and MB were more common as direct monster drops in Kalandra than now, but cards are the main source and I don't believe those have changed.

0:00 Intro
0:34 Quick aside on consoles
0:44 Mirror of Kalandra Inflation - 80-110% higher than recent leagues (compared to day 23)
1:32 Headhunter Inflation - 25-50% higher than recent leagues
2:04 Mageblood Inflation - 40-90% higher than recent leagues
2:20 Lower Price Semi Chase Items - Stranglegasp - 110-150% higher than recent leagues
2:51 Other Items: Elderslayer Exalts, Ashes of the Stars, and more
3:15 What's Causing These Price Increases: Sanctum Mainly, ToTa Partly
3:51 What Happens When Rich Players Get Richer? They Outbid Everyone Else On Genuinely Rare Items
4:38 How Could This Be Changed?

POE 3.22 - Top 10 Maps To Farm - Mageblood, Headhunter, Divine Cards, Layouts + More - Path of Exile

sirgog 2023-09-10 | #POE #pathofexile #atlas

Top 10 lists can feel a bit overdone at times - but some maps are way better than others in the current endgame and I wanted to recommend the best maps for farming in the Ancestor league with the extremely high price of Mageblood and the higher than typical value of Headhunter.

Note that the mirror cards that can be farmed are the ones that award mirror shards - House of Mirrors directly awards a mirror, but it drops from the Alluring Abyss, a boss zone rather than a map.

3.22 - Getting Tanky On A Left Of Tree Build - Easy Attack Block Cap - POE Path of Exile Ancestors

sirgog 2023-09-02 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

I've mentioned this interaction briefly in another video but felt it needed a separate video.

The Red Nightmare jewel was OK in 3.21 but got WAY better in 3.22 with the addition of passive tree tattoos.

With 53% for a few passive points it's not hard to get the last 22% from a shield, or most of it by dual wielding.

AFK Minotaur Kill & Build Update - My 3.22 Leaguestarter. Chieftain Searing Bond. POE Path of Exile

sirgog 2023-08-28 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

IMPORTANT NOTE: POB is not working at the moment for tattoos. POB has me 1 gem level lower than I should be in damage, and also has me with only 37% attack block (I have 77% limited to 75% by the block cap) and less fire resist than I should have (which means less armor/regen).

CORRECTION: I mention 'Warlord's Cry' - this should be Infernal Cry

Another important note: Minotaur is unusually easy on this character. I had a lot more trouble with Maven's Invitation: The Forgotten (the Synth one) than you might expect from this video (only one death but a few close moments). This is not an expert bosskiller build but it's kinda nuts in Expedition.

Phantasmal Searing Bond at 20 quality is absolutely mandatory to play this build. (Quality beyond 20 is a small bonus)

3.22 - Budget Ashes Of The Stars - Replica Dragonfangs Flight Is Solid- Path of Exile Ancestors POE

sirgog 2023-08-25 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

Ashes of the Stars was added over a year ago and can be close to a chase unique. Good on almost all spellcaster builds and extraordinarily good on some, it's an item a lot of players want. It's not budget friendly.

Added without fanfare in patch 3.22, Replica Dragonfang's Flight isn't a traditional "replica" unique, but it's almost a Replica Ashes Of The Stars.

Generally weaker than the 'real thing', RDF has the advantage of being very cheap, as long as you are not playing Hexblast.

Seriously consider it on spellcaster builds; especially if you can't afford to trade for a rare +2 amulet.

0:00 Intro
0:13 Drop mechanics - Drop anywhere, probably Tier 3 rarity
0:33 It's not really a replica!
0:46 Not really an SSF item (unless you get very lucky)

1:30 The Special Stat - +3 to the gem level of one specific skill gem
2:02 Factors that make the item expensive
2:12 Comparison to Ashes of the Stars - Ashes mostly better

Early 3.22 Discoveries. Vaal Side Areas & Lucid Dreams Are Beyond Disappointing - Path of Exile POE

sirgog 2023-08-21 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

About 1 in 6000 Vaal Side Areas encountered in the wild will have the "jackpot" of an Ultimatum aspect reward.

Contrast to 1 in 15 Lab Trials (if you spec into them) having the Gift to the Goddess.

And there's... just not much else. Corrupting Tempest would be strong, but the areas are too small for it to be great (unlike Alva's Temple where it is quite good). Plus, the map mods are vicious.

Datamined weightings of area mods: https://poedb.tw/us/Sacrifice_of_the_Vaal#ModifiersCalc

Kinda hope these get major numbers changes soon (or maybe there's something special with the unique side areas)

Early 3.22 Discoveries. Found: Good Drop Rate Divine Orb Div Card - Path of Exile Ancestors POE

sirgog 2023-08-20 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

"Good drop rate" as in "similar to The Saint's Treasure", probably exactly 20% higher although right now it looks 50% higher. The card doesn't drop all the time, but 2.5-3 times as rare as The Porcupine and 6-8 times as rare as The Chains That Bind.

Most confirmation has been done by the POE Wiki team, poewiki.net, and in discords run by PoorFishWife.

Confirmed maps (some of these Standard only in 3.22):
Ancient City
Arid Lake
Atoll
Beach
Caldera

3.22: Explorers Scouting Reports Are Broken. Dont Kill Lava Chamber Map Boss! - Path of Exile POE

sirgog 2023-08-18 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

27-Aug-2023 Update: I'm not 100% certain this was nerfed or fixed or whatever, but there's strong circumstantial evidence that it probably has been.

________________

Five words: This needs to be nerfed.

This video is based upon 3.21 game behaviour, and (hopefully) will be obsolete by the time anyone reaches maps in 3.22.

Kirac missions that tell you to recover a full set of divination cards are usually just OK even on good maps.

But Lava Chamber has an S-tier card that normally only drops from the map boss (Divine Beauty), and absolutely no mega-common cards.

Kirac missions that tell you to go into Lava Chamber to find a set of cards are around 1 in 33 to give you 7 divine orbs. Explorer's Scouting Reports let you get more of these than you should.

This couldn't be done in 3.21 because Lava Chamber wasn't on the atlas.

I'm confident enough that this will be nerfed that I've already made a thumbnail that stamps "NERFED" over this video's thumbnail, ready to use when needed.

Note: Chains That Bind was in Lava Chamber up to about 3.17 but has been removed. If GGG stealth-added the card back in, it would single-handedly address this issue AND buff this map for normal gameplay.

3.22 League Start Plans- Atlas & Build - Chieftain RF - Outline, not full build. POE Path of Exile

sirgog 2023-08-18 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

IMPORTANT NOTE: POB is not working at the moment for the new Chieftain, and this is NOT a finished character, it's a starting point. Around 1 million Maven DPS on the 5 link with bad gear and level 19 gems (her fire res is -20, not +50 as it will show here), but importantly, similar against gigatanked fire res rares.

PARTIAL POB: https://pobb.in/6J2TZxBo-bV8 (to be improved over time as things get tested)

Defenses not sorted for the long term here. Ultimately The Formless Flame will get used but not at leaguestart, as the item is very rare now.

3.22: Which 3.21 Successful League Starters Will Still Do Well? - Path of Exile Ancestors

sirgog 2023-08-17 | #poe #pathofexile #ancestors

In this video I go through the top performing builds on days 4 and 10 of Crucible, and look at how well they survived patch notes for 3.22.

(If in doubt, start Righteous Fire or Boneshatter)

Note that while Crucible's mechanics and broken totem explosion shenanigans did impact build options a bit, this hadn't really flowed through early.

0:00 Intro, the info we will be looking into
0:41 Methodology for picking out the builds that were successful last time
1:19 Which Ascendancies Performed Best In Crucible? How Will They Hold Up Now? Starting With Day 10's Top Performers
2:28 3:21's Top Early Build, Righteous Fire: Still Good In 3.22. Jugg was the top option in 3.21
3:16 (Vaal Lightning Arrow): 3.21's second top build but not recommended in 3.22
3:39 Other Impacts Of Vengeant Cascade Nerfs
3:50 Boneshatter: Excellent in 3.21, Will Remain Excellent in 3.22
4:20 Tornado Shot: Don't Start It Unless You Have An Aurabot
4:48 Artillery Ballista: Expect A Huge Falloff In Use
4:59 Hexblast Mines: Still Good But Might Be Much More Expensive To Start
6:05 How Does It Differ When We Look At Day 4 Instead?
6:15 Toxic Rain: Still Fine To Get Started With
6:47 The Cold DOT Archetype: Still Fine
7:10 The Difference Between Creeping Frost Builds And Vortex Builds - The Cold DOT Version Is The Good Starter
7:36 Venom Gyre: Still Fine
7:49 Summon Raging Spirit: Better In 3.22 Than 3.21
8:03 Corrupting Fever: Popular, But It Has Issues. Still Good, But Milestone Bosses Are Hard
8:22 Spark. WAY better this league, may move up to top 3 starters.
8:37 All The Other 1%+ Builds From 3.21 & What Still Works
9:17 What About New Starters? Melee Ailments Still Uncertain.
9:50 New Guardian - Really Good With A Lot Of Skills. Guardian Absolution Is A Great Starter Option
10:31 New Chieftain - Worse At Some Things And Better At Others Than Jugg RF. I'm Starting This.
11:55 Don't Leaguestart Melee Ailments Yet... Definitely Play Them, Just Maybe Not Day 1
12:07 Summary: Almost All 3.21 Leaguestarters Remain Good, Just Vengeant Cascade Ones Are Bricked

Verbal typo in the vid - where I say 85% I mean 93%. Had been thinking 20% proc not 25%. 93% is correct though.

Gladiator Indirectly Buffed By New Support Gem? #shorts #pathofexile #trialoftheancestors

sirgog 2023-08-11 | #shorts #pathofexile #poe

The Gladiator is the worst ascendancy in POE but it might just be getting a new tool in 3.22. Violent Retaliation has amazing synergy with the new Volatility Support for a physical hit-based Gladiator. "Roll twice, take the best damage" works better with high damage variance.
