Hi all,
Path of Exile's new League, The Forbidden Sanctum, launches today at 2 PM Eastern time, so I thought it'd be good to have a thread about it. Who else is leaguestarting today/this weekend? Does anyone want to team up for playing through the acts?
For those who missed it: Hexbear has its own Path of Exile guild, named Path of Hexile (guild page is here, though non-members won't be able to see anything there). Anyone who would like to join is welcome, please either DM me here or message @Atrociraptor in-game to do so.
Also, for anyone who is leaguestarting: what build do you plan to run?
I'm going to do hit EA Raider again, since it was so easy to level last league, then stop in the mid-60s (just before killing Kitava) to do some endless Heist for a while, and try to trade my way up to early riches.
I'm planning on bossing myself, but I really can't bring myself to do boss carries. If this build truly makes bosses a breeze then maybe, but I'm far too nervous about bricking someone's fight haha.
Yeah I mean I won't be offering the service unless I have a build that just obliterates bosses. The main point will be to gain TFT rep so I can then move to doing Lab running service. I think I'm just going to try to run this league trying to find out the utter best ways to make divs/hr that I maybe still enjoy so I can blast through future leagues more efficiently. Definitely going to need to spend more time profit crafting
Alright, I get it. I've always struggled to find good currency strategies really, mostly because I find it hard to do repetitive things in PoE since there's always the temptation to switch to something else. Best I've done is grinding logbooks, which I think might be like a ~2-3 div per hour strategy? Not sure.
I think logbooks can be better but it is very dependant on your build (speed/how many negative remnant effects your build can mitigate). I think the reason why I end up liking heist is just because the div/hr is high and it leaves me with a lot of room to explore crafting stuff. After like a week of heisting though I have to make a normal character so I can do something besides open doors though, no matter the div rate its gonna get old
I've run logbooks with RF trickster, ice trap sabo, and explosive trap sabo. All builds that can deal with almost any remnant mod. It's always pretty consistent money, I find it a lot more fun than heist honestly. I tried heisting last league since I was finding it hard to get enough money to bulk buy logbooks just from mapping. It really is exhausting opening so many doors :shrek-pixel-despair:
I did Logbooks during expedition league as a Ice Spear CoC Inquisitor and could run them very fast, it was actually very enjoyable (most of the stuff you get is very easy to sell in bulk which is great). But yeah, heist is just chugging. Its a lot better when you have a character that runs at 800% movespeed or more and you are clearing 6-8divs+ an hour
Yeah profit-crafting is of interest to me as well. I ended up with about 300 divines last league but I always end up struggling to go any further.
Dunno if you've seen this but this guy runs a little blog where he details some really good profit crafting/hideout warrior stuff: https://thehideouthandbook.com/
Edit: He made a recent post on the profitability of doing a ton of flask crafting and I can vouch its very VERY easy divs, especially early league. If you use regex to highlight good hits and smash a ton of flasks at once you can make a stupid amount of free cash early on. I'd actually suggest anyone here to take a look at that guide because it will really help with currency generation early on, especially if your build is somewhat scuffed.
Nice, thanks for the link, will check that out!
I've always been quite fond of flask-crafting myself, actually. I've made some decent money on that, but mainly I like to have top-tier flasks.
Yeah he has some other ideas that are very very obviously profitable when you consider it. Honestly I'm glad hes not a youtuber because it would ruin everything hes talked about
