[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Hey, thanks for the guide! Is it really worth it using IQ and IR gear at all? I mean 0.5 ex per hour is fine, but i wonder how much you can do without stats that handicap you clear speed and survive ability.

" This post from a few pages back provides some insight to this question from the OP. Your results may very, but I think it is a good summary. |

I've seen a number of people recently acting like 70c : 1 EX is a crazy high ratio... both on here and in global... and granted, I've been gone awhile, but the stretches of time I've played in the last 4 years, 60-75c : 1ex has been the norm, at least since 1.2 introduced Master Crafting... before that I think it hung in the 30-40 range more...
Also... maybe its just my little slice of PoE, but I feel like the value of mid-range loot has dropped considerably as public stash tabs have lowered the learning curve to trading... so chaos recipes from MF and pure currency drops from clear speed builds (pure speculation) seem like more reliable income than mid-range loot drop sales | |
" Yep, 70-75 is usually the early league norm, then it drops down to 68 or so. I remember in Warbands (I think that was the league?), chaos:ex peaked at 90:1. This is nothing lol. ********** As far as mid-range loot, yeah. Right now is about where I'm actually hurting more without MF. Contrary to the post I made on the other page, my income has tanked precisely because mid-tier stuff isn't selling anymore. So, as a non-MFer this league, I'm now really starting to learn how important sustaining T13+ maps or running gated content is in order to continue generating more reliable wealth.

Sure, but CA's damage output at low levels is frustratingly terrible.
Can do it if you reaaaaalllly want to, though. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

Does anyone know if essence mods, once on an item, obey meta-mod master crafting?
I know that the other way round doesn't work - i.e., applying an essence to an item will ignore any master mod on the item. But it seems to me that using an essence to craft a nice prefix onto an item and then protecting the prefix with Haku's metamod, followed by scouring, should work, leaving the item free of suffixes and with the essence prefix intact. I'm not 100% sure that this works though... Last edited by hankinsohl on Dec 18, 2016, 9:16:52 PM

Why not just test it in Standard?

'Cause I'm broke! :-) |

I tested it with an Essence-specific affix, in this case an Insanity suffix, just to rule out any weirdness.
 Works just fine. You owe me 2ex at some point.

 Cuz clearly 219ex + an absurd amount of chaos isn't enough. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth on Dec 19, 2016, 12:32:10 AM

I'm currently only level 77 and am having a major issue in this league. Breaches are simply too much for me to handle. I'm even using a decoy totem to help make things easier but there are too many mobs and they take down the totem and aren't dying fast enough. So I've been skipping breaches while doing maps so I don't set back my leveling.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, as in not understanding how to maximize dps with debuffs and such. I probably just need to go over the guide again. but I mainly just dot up the mobs and only worry about frenzy on high health mobs. |
