[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Looking forward to seeing your results.
Mull himself said he spawns about 25% of the time (ran into him on a stream), and he's the hardest GM in the map's pool. HoG isn't expensive so you should be able to smoke it within 1-2 more attempts. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" lol The first half a second of seeing the image I thought your maps were spelling out "fuck you". That seems like a -lot- of attention to be paying to them. My policy is to treat them like complete trash, usually not even look at 8s or below, and I only keep 9s around if they can upgrade to 10s. Sort of like a pimp. For exp I run (maybe) the occasional T8 Atoll, no tier 9s, and all non-Malformation t10s and above. 9 to 10 are the only upgrades I do. Rest is indiscriminately used as hammer food, dumped into the guild's map tabs which are already full most of the time, or not even picked up. If I decide to go MF T1-5, I just start with 1 map of any tier and I'm swimming in the low maps I want very soon. This way 10s and 11s are ~maintained by exping, 9s take only a few slots, and my combined space allocated to any maps aside from the trash in my run tab is 2 tabs of mostly red maps which don't seem to be growing fast considering I sell some. It takes 20000 tier 1s to make 1 tier 10. Until poe.trade starts offering an option (maybe it does and I don't know about it) to set a message like "I won't reply unless you're buying 30 or more maps in this tier" with your listed maps and the general trend of rapidly rising sense of entitlement and even more rapidly falling attention spans in this civilization starts to reverse itself so people can actually care enough to notice said message, I can't bring myself to organizing maps. I don't want to be typing a reply every minute asking how many low maps a buyer wants and I especially don't want to be that asshole who doesn't reply to buyers at all because the trade is worth less than the time it will take. @Hank haha That's vaguely familiar! |

" Use the Note system in the premium tab, when you right click an item it gives Price, Exact Price and Note. Eg, right click a Mesa map Note: ~b/o 1 alc (30+ bulk sales only) It won't auto reply, and there's no guarantee everyone reads it but, it does provide a way for you to let people know.

BTW, I'm pretty sure the frog prophecy is a reply to Serleth's forum signature. ;)

" Hah, that'd be hilarious if it was, but there was a bug that quadrupled the size of frog pets for a while. That line was in one of Chris' replies on reddit to the issue. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

I think Serleth's pricing unit by unit with notes is the only way to tell buyers you are only selling in bulk... can double down and name the tab Bulk Maps as well...
Back in 2.2 when the system came out, you could price by tab (~b/o 1 alch) and then include a note on the individual items about bulk only... but too many people were using the note to say BUYING not selling... which was super annoying... so poe.trade stopped showing notes on buyout tabs, I think I heard... | |
" Not sure if that's true or not, cuz I've never tried it, but it works on just regular public tabs where you're not setting a price on everything. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

And Then Things Got Completely Out of Control
Spoiler
Well, I finally managed to rework my Atlas to give funneling a try. I applied sextants per instructions, alched, applied Perandus, and went into my first Shaped Strand. Uh oh... Got the "Monstrous Treasure" prophecy - you know... the one that spawns a bunch of strongboxes. The place was just insane. Loot from mobs. Loot from strong boxes. Loot from Breach Mobs. Loot from Perandus Coffers. Holy crap! LOL. Well, I'm nearly done with the "prophecies in maps" grind - so hopefully this won't happen again. Oh... did I mention the mapped rolled "Twinned"? 4 end bosses which dropped... well, you know. ====== Edit: Guess what? It happened again, LOL. Got the Monstrous Treasure this time on a map with Extra Strongboxes and Perandus. LOL. Took forever to open all of them. Last edited by hankinsohl on Jan 17, 2017, 10:33:06 AM

Sounds promising, hank...
While, when I get really lazy on loot with my HoWA character, someetimes I can do whole maps on 1-2 portals... if I'm refilling my unID tab (I've been doing unID for a week or 2 now with Breach Rings + alch'd amulets for some 1c recipes) and there are some Breaches/etc, I still manage to use all my portals without the MF gear I've started seeing Chayula breaches a bit more (and other Breachlords in general give me hope of finding Chayula himself) since I started rushing Yellow maps and soon to be Red maps with my HoWA character Finally making progress on 36 challenges... I stalled out at 24 for awhile and switched characters, but now 27/40 and most of the rest except for Endless Grind (lots to do) and 10k tiers (1200 done, half in the last few days) I'm near completing the rest with a bit of work on each... 3/4, 7/10, 10/15, etc etc Since I hadn't explored the back half of the map on my CA character, I was easily able to opt-in to the optimized map... recently finished most of the maps I was missing T7-T9, completed Vinktar for 5c, completed Colonnade, shaped Mesa and Collonade... just need to do Excavation for shaping Strand, uncomplete Excavation, and then pick up some Gorge and t14-15 maps to finish out the map... sitting at 70/126 How profitable would you guys consider Perandus mapping yourself? I mean... I could pay 3c per map and complete Perandus challenge in about 150c... or try and catch the people in trade 820 selling for 6-8c and finish in 60-80c... you guys making up the 70-90c difference? |
