[clarky]

Rentahamster Nice work with the guild mate. Im travelling for a few days now so no game time unfortunately but when i get on I'll send over some coin.

Its my first port of call if im struggling and need something. Really appreciated.

0.1.0b Patch Notes​

• Gas Grenade's explosion base damage has been reduced to 150%-468% at gem level 1-20 (previously 240%-749%).

I bought a flask tab for the guild stash to better organize our flasks. Only donate flasks that have the "gains charges per second" modification, because that's the only one that's worth a damn.

If you check out a flask, please return it when you upgrade to the next tier of flask, thank you!

There's also a flask with a % chance to refill a charge on a kill. I had a 25% one

 

[Antwix]

Yup. So good I'm still using it at level 48 lmfao

Ah light radius. The bane of my existence.

 

[Rentahamster]

2nd unique drop, not the best warrior stats but no level req, you can wear it at level 1 (item level 26):

I put it in Guild Stash for alts.

Nice, thank you! I have a unique that's really strong from level 1-10 too. Maybe I should make a Unique Library tab too.

 

[Pakoe]

It wasn't a drop. I crafted it from a magic item I bought at the NPC shop.

Interesting, here I was waiting for something good to drop.

One of the best things you can do for items is to look at the NPC shops each time you level up. The inventory in the shops refreshes each level. Even if you can't find something good for yourself, you might be able to find something good for another class, and then trade for profit.

 

[Arsic]

Wow you got to level 40 pretty quick for starting a second character.

Yeah the 35 sorc struggled too much and went slow. It helps I’m first trying all bosses on pathfinder.

Act 1 is pretty quick but 2&3 are very chonky.

 

[Sabejita]

Act 2 done with level 35 monk:

topaz ring+topaz charm ftw:

It took a while but I'm currently doing nice dps on my full shield/block lvl 36 war (all out on anything that increases damage based on block%). Still avoiding 2h big slam bam style, even though clearing mobs most efficiently I think is very similar: leap and boneshatter.
I've been trying with resonating shield, as I thought it'd be a good alternative to block, as you're actively blocking while breaking armor, but it just doesn't hold up by far. The skill doesn't break armor fast enough (armor breaker trumps it) and it's not mana efficient (I desperately need the mana for leaps).

I've done much better switching from 2h to 1h with shield.

 

[Rentahamster]

Thanks Jung lol



Arsic This sorc build wasn't so bad

 

[Rentahamster]

Codeblew You should try this game

 

[Sabejita]

Puting Lingering Illusion lv 8 in the stash for my fellow monks in the guild (as I got one at lv 9):

Very good buff, very helpfull on act 2 boss.

 

[cormack12]

Good work on the stash Rentahamster

just got the act i boss. Wtf. Level 16 ranger poison, first phase is fine. When he turns into the wolf with ice though, mofo takes me down easy!!

Thank you!

Reiterating this post just in case any guild members missed it. This is the economical skill upgrading technique that Sabejita is using.

@ everyone in the guild - I just realized that upgrading our 2-slot skill gems is a waste. For example, if I have a level 5 lightning arrow, instead of upgrading it with a level 6 uncut skill gem, I could unequip the current level 5 lightning arrow, make a new level 6 lightning arrow skill with the uncut gem, then donate the level 5 skill to the guild stash.

I think if we do this, then we could build up a nice skill gem reserve for people who want to test things out.

The only time you don't want to do this if if you upgraded your existing skills with more support slots.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, just carry on as normal. I don't want to confuse you lol.

 

[Jinxed]

Yup. So good I'm still using it at level 48 lmfao

Damn, I'm 28, if you ever find something and I'm 33 I'd use it lol

 

[Rentahamster]

Yeah no problem. A lot of the stuff in the guild stash right now are my hand-me-downs anyway haha. I'm level 48 and should start crafting an upgrade. It's just that the +1 grenade is basically a multiplicative damage booster, so it's too good lol.

The Xbow I'm using right now might be one of yours, I took it in the stash and placed my old one in it. It had two runes in it, does up to 79 DMG iirc

Yeah that's why there's so much crossbow shit in there lol

I'm glad it's useful

 

[clarky]

This game should come with a divorce warning on the box.

 

[Arsic]

Thanks Jung lol

Lightning is doo doo. Ice and fire are great. But realizing that 35 levels in you’re bricked. Not gonna unload mountains of gold and farm to redo all gems and gear etc.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Anyone tried disenchanting or salvaging a unique to see what you get. Haven't found this info on the many crafting guides online I've looked through.

You get Chance Shards, 10 of which gives an Orb of Chance. I don't know its bonus.

"Unpredictably either upgrades a Normal item to Unique rarity or destroys it"

ooooh that sounds fun!

When get one to drop ill let you know.

This games drop rate is on a par with OG Destiny 1.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Cleared act 1 with my witch. That executioner fight was great. D4 had to basically resurrect bosses and they still didn’t nail it as good as PoEII.

 

[cormack12]

Anyone still missing their 300 coins on ps5?

Rentahamster can I buy guild upgrades? I can see 100 coins buys another 10 members, but is it only you who can purchase that?

 

[Jinxed]

Anyone still missing their 300 coins on ps5?

It updated my coins on PS5 when I went on the shop and viewed some items. Exited the shop and they appeared

 

[Rentahamster]

If you want a particular guild upgrade, there's an option to donate your points to the guild, then you tell me what you want me to buy and I'll buy it.

Oh, I already bought the 10 member upgrade though.

When I find that option I'll donate the 25 or so I have left. Might even have a couple uniques I'm not using anymore. Even though I am tempted to get some chance shards

 

[Interfectum]

How is this game on PS5? Been playing the PC version but just curious if I could inject my console with this addiction as well. Any Pro shit?

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Pro is perfect in game except some lag in town. Not sure if everyone gets that

 

[Rentahamster]

@ Everyone I made a "Unique Gear Library" in the guild stash and filled it with all the unique items I've collected so far. Please feel free to borrow the items as you need them. The Crossbow is especially useful to quickly level a new character.

Please return the items when you are done, so as to give others a chance to try them out. If you will be logged out for an extended period of time, please put the items back as well, thank you!

 

[iQuasarLV]

I may be t3h suXXor at POE2 but I feel melee is just unfairly tuned against everything.

aRPG pedigree:
Grim Dawn
Last Epoch
Diablo 2,3,4

This is a game I feel just forces you to play a ranged style. Hell I don't see anyone playing melee on streams.

 

[Rentahamster]

Hell I don't see anyone playing melee on streams.

Ziz, Alkaizer, and DM are playing melee.

So, what's the best way to farm regal shards?
Just grind low-level content?

Also, do Regal Orbs drop? Or just shards?

 

[Doomtrain]

What are other people with Poison Ranger/Pathfinder builds using in terms of skills/gear/etc? I'm level 24 and I just got my ascendancy and I'm noticing a lot of skills seem useless. Vine Arrow disappears too quickly to be useful. Barrage doesn't seem to do much. Toxic Growth actually does seem useful, but I'm mostly using Poisonburst Arrow.

 

[Rentahamster]

Wow, the Lv 21-30 Gear Library tab filled up quick. Perhaps I should change that one to a Quad Tab too.

 

[Antwix]

yeah all the orbs drop. in act 2 i started seeing regal orb drops. i believe the patch (if its live yet) has increased the drop rate of regal orbs as well. they're fairly uncommon but they do indeed drop.

Thnx. I think I'm starting to get the gameplay-loop for this game.

I'm in Act II rn, so I'll just grind here for a while.

If you need rare items, we have plenty in the stash you can borrow.

 

[Rentahamster]

Okay, the lv 21-30 tab is now quad size. I also added more rares and cleaned out some of the weaker magic items.

I'm only level 17 or 16, can't remember. Are you hitting your vine with poison, and toxic burst to get bonus damage. Plague burst also looks good but not tested it yet.

What support gems have you got assigned

 

[Rentahamster]

Lightning is doo doo. Ice and fire are great. But realizing that 35 levels in you’re bricked. Not gonna unload mountains of gold and farm to redo all gems and gear etc.

Spark is pretty decent tho

Thank you to whomever reorganized that tab to sort things out!

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Just killed that chimera mofo. After a few deaths in 2nd phase due to that aggravating frost or poison spam, I figured the only way to deal with him as a warrior was to keep my distance. So I basically ran around and rotated between 3 corners to have each, in turn, filled with AOE frost or burn, and kept leaping every time I saw an opportunity. By running around and keeping my distance I was also able to regen and fill flask in case I made a mistake. It took some time, but I did it.

 

[TintoConCasera]

What's the deal with corrupted items?

 

[Jinxed]

The stash is so well organised, thanks Rentahamster , such a great guild leader!

Maybe we could do a community post about this game? We're growing a lot!
