[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" If I have enough portals, I just grab every yellow. If the map is dropping a lot of stuff and you can't take it all back, try to take back as many items as you can. And of course, try to get a full or nearly full inventory each time. If you need to leave stuff behind, try to have enough spare scrolls to - at a minimum - take a look at all yellow bows and staves - check for +1/+2 on bows or good attack mods, and check staves for +1/+2 fire. If the bows/staves aren't good, just leave them behind if you're out of inventory. Edit: Serleth has a nice video that covers some of this. The inventory management video? I can't recall which one off the top of my head. Last edited by hankinsohl#1231 on Jun 9, 2016, 7:52:59 AM

Thank you for the responses Hank and Serleth. .trade is my primary as well, but I might try the public party route as well. The chore element is still just a mindset thing, but at least it has gotten better the last few leagues. So hopefully it will continue to get better for me.

" Cheers yeh will do, at the moment im just keen to get into that 5-link. Is there a trick to getting +2? Ive used a bunch of alts already but no luck, how many does it take on average? |

" the trick is to snipe good offers on poe.trade... works every time |
|
" According to poe.db the odds of rolling +2 to bow gems is about 1.7%. So for 50% odds: ((100 - 1.7) / 100 ) ^ n = (50 / 100) n = ln(0.5) / ln(.983) n ~= 40 In other words, you'd have a 50% chance to roll the mod after using 40 alts/augs. Which - coincidentally - is useful information for me as well, since I'm about to prepare my bow for +1/+2 crafting :-) Last edited by hankinsohl#1231 on Jun 9, 2016, 11:10:26 AM

Just wanted to remind you guys to make sure you have sounds included in your loot filter, as well as having the loot filter sound volume turned up in sound options (GGG just added this option).
I was breezing through a Dunes map last night and I heard a strange sound. Not recognizing the sound, I ran back several screens to look around and found a lonely

When I was levelling someone gave me a 5 link +2 level Bow for free.
Found a Shavronne's wrappings at Act 2 Merciless. Sold it for Carcass jack+few exalts. Bought this bow for 1 exalt. Drillneck is just 2c in Prophecy anyway. Prophecy treating me really well. 3.1K hp atm at level 65,resists capped, no mana problems and clear speed is good too. Should make my transition to MF soon after Andvarius and capping resists again. Thanks for this awesome guide! |

Well, it's done

But wow, what a pain. Each time I got +2 bows and regaled, I kept getting a prefix. Scour and start over. Did that 4 times in total. Next up (will take awhile), I'll 6-link this and then probably go for dual resists via multimod. |

So with this build, there will be lots of rare items drop. Are we supposed to pick up all of them?
If we do, where are we supposed to get ID scroll? If we don't, what the point of MF? Sorry I am a bit confused. |

" Most of them. You'll get a feel for what 2h'ers to avoid in order to save room and maximize rare pickups. You're mostly looking at staffs, bows (for +3 gems) and Vaal Axes. Scrolls = vendoring transmutes, scraps, stones, portal scrolls (you'll get a portal gem). If you aren't vendoring lots of rares and doing lots of recipes, don't MF. That's a significant portion of the income from MF. It does have other benefits (slightly better chance of good unique drops, the sheer amount of rares you'll be dropping mean that you'll have a greater chance of finding good rares) but unless you're taking full advantage of it, I would recommend just doing a high dps build.
