Thanks! Not a fan of Heist so I'll keep focusing on Expedition and add Ritual. I'll also craft a Gold flask, even though I'm alreadly at around 90%IIR on my equip. Is the Atlas passive that converts map IIQ to 300% IIR worth taking?

Thanks, I'll try that!

Not a huge fan of the town management bits, but I'm playing SSF and shipments can bring back uniques, of which I need four for my build, so I'm trying to play the mechanic.

One of the uniques I need can be targeted via Divination, but I'm still trying to understand how to sustain the one map it drops in, without much luck. The other uniques can't be obtained via Divinations, so I'm trying to chance them (no luck so far, unfortunately...). I was also considering the Atlas Passives that converts map item quantity to 3x item rarity, in hopes of dropping those uniques and then maybe respec it when I need currency for crafting Rares for the other slots... don't know tbh, first time SSF and also been away from the game for several years lol

I'll also have to review my defences as I'm getting one- or two-shotted in early yellow maps through 3k life and 3k ES, with 40% attack block, 20% spell block and 20% spell suppression, but there isn't much else on the tree that I can allocate easily...

Eh, I'm not going to play at max effort, I'm just getting back to PoE after all. A way to farm Fusings is good enough!

Thanks for the help, I dind't know about Tainted Fusings, that could also be of help

Thank you, never would've tought about a couple of these!

-I guess that I can hide the vast majority of bases that I can't use or don't fit my class, at least while leveling during acts. At some point I will need the Chaos recipe thogh and those useless bases can come in handy

-A plan about gearing is absolutely a stranger to me lol I've played 3k hours in trade leagues so I'm just used to buy what I need. Except for some specific bases and the right gems, everything else is a mistery

-this one is easier, as I'll mostly farm only the divination cards needed to get my uniques, unless I can chance them

-I know about the bench craft, what I don't know is how long is going to take to get to 1500 fusings... guess that's another divination to farm lol

-this is good advice, a meh Temple can net good XP and drops evem though the double corruption room isn't available!

-I'll need to look into this a bit better, so thanks!

I recently got back into it, and it's not that bad if you go in with the knowledge that you won't get a top tier item without investing an absurd amount of currency and with curbed expectations.

You can get some decent rares by limiting yourself to three or four mods items without spending too much and by offsetting your equip's shortcomings with your passives.

I think the main issue is that the game is balanced around trading, which lead to incredibly overpowered items and monsters... just yesterday I got oneshot through 8800ES while monsters where cursed with Enfeeble on my build from three or four years ago, in a lightly modded T9 map, by a Delirium boss, I think?, which is kinda nuts

I'm gonna go SSF next league without expecting to get to Red maps and see how it goes, but crafting doean't seem too bad now and this comes from someone who never crafted anything, always bought my equip

You will have to look at the second hand market for sure, but you can probably get a decent 1080p 80-100fps medium/high build.

Something like (or equivalent):

Ryzen 5 3600

RX 6600

16GB DDR4

1TB SSD (probably not NVMe)

Whatever case

Whatever monitor, even if only 60Hz, for now

Whatever MoBo

Tier A PSU from the Cultists Network PSU tier list

You can most likely get everything used if you buy from a second hand shop that has a form of buyer protection (eBay and similar) and thoroughly check and clean and test everything you buy

I see, thank you!

Gating it behind EoD was already not great, since it's no progression and all, but now asking a price for it..? Unless it's a trivial amount, like $2, I really can't see why would anyone pay for it. A real raid would be better in all conceivable ways, except the stress of course. You can acquire map knowledge on your own oflline raid, ad PvP against friends, while useful to an extent, without the actual risk of losing your gear won't be as good as real PvP.

EoD has offline coop?

we removed the EoD version and some of the EoD features need to go back (offline co-op for example)

Not that it matters too much, as playing only against bots isn't what EFT is good for, in my opinion

[–] mumei 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Haven't seen this mentioned, but did you make sure to plug the display cable into the GPU and not the MoBo?

edit: nvm, just saw a comment with same suggestion

[–] mumei 2 points 10 months ago

Nitro+ worth it?

I guess not for that much more. A 10% increase is substantial, and I don't think the difference in actual performance is enough to justify it; but you also said that your region can get toasty in summer, and the Nitro+ has better cooling which could help. I don't think the Pulse will get too hot to work, but it may be something to consider!

DDR5

Those are one of the best performance to price ratio, and they're very inexpensive for what they are (plus full support for AMD overclocking, EXPO I think it's called); you can also go higher frequency, but prices will go up as well.

cooler

Good call then, AIO will probably perform a bit better with extreme high ambient temps

970

All good, a 970 Evo Plus might be cheaper so why not!

5.0

Yeah, there's no way gaming will saturate PCIe 5.0 anytime soon, no need to pay premium for specs you won't benefit from

Happy building and gaming!
