Looking at your character, IIR if you wanna MF, Slower Projectiles if you just want more damage.

Wouldn't worry about chaos res. If you're over-capped and still have open suffixes on gear, then yeah, get it, but don't go out of your way to try fit it in.

Congratulations on the full 40!! [Linked Fireworks here, but the website is having a hard time linking MTX for some reason]


Based on some prior conversations I would conclude board, tradition, or some combination of both. :)

Ohh and thanks for some of the suggestions in helping me work to finish my grinds as well!
Grats on 40/40... I just need to wrap up the red maps for twinned/onslaught/8mod, and the 1000 maps challenge and the endless grinds myself...

I think I said this a few weeks ago, but it future leagues I will probably go CA MF into Prophecy farming to finance a meta DPS build...

I make/made decent money playing CA MF in Perandus and Breach, and made similar with a Clearspeed HoWA build mapping... but nothing compared to the money I can rake in doing prophecies...

That reddit guide on how to neutralize prophecy chains without having to seal them all the time saved me so many coins... and this league, even tho Hidden Vaal Pathways and Gracious Master prophecies are worth less with the changes, the Prophecy Chains are real moneymakers for the challenge credit... in the last 2 days I've averaged 80-100c/hr doing prophecies

Can you link that reddit post? I haven't been on reddit that much this league. Missed out on it.

Although I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're talking about and how to do it. Things like if you get Plague of Frogs, just go hit Docks and it'll usually proc, etc. Been doing that for a while myself, I just don't really enjoy engaging in Prophecies.

Being able to sell the Ambitious Bandit and the other challenge-related prophecies though, free money.

Thanks for the gz folks =)

Once I realized that it was fairly easy to buy the Rigwald kills and essentially make it four grinds instead of five, I was a lot more willing to go for it. And I hated the idea of losing my perfect streak.

I still think five grinds is too much, regardless of whether you can buy your way out of one of them, but 500c isn't anything to me so I had no problems paying it off. Once I was at 38 challenges, I had something like 2100c and 18ex.

Even after the Rigwald kills, with the constant influx of money from selling things from Apex/Breach, I'm currently at 2300c and 20ex, with about 500c in various Breach and Guardian drops to sell. I made money in spite of buying all the Guardian maps, 60-something Breachstones and 35 Apex runs.

Grats on 40/40!
Here's the reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/5zr76b/cooked_up_a_quick_prophecy_farming_guide_hf/

Click the title to go to the google doc... basically, you do a couple of steps of Unbreathing Queen and Unbearable Whispers, so you can just enter Ledge, Crypt, N/S Forest, and Library to proc prophecy chains, and leave without completing them... they disappear from your prophecy log and can't re-proc until the open zone closes... so 7-15 minutes

There are some tips for the other prophecies, too, but they don't matter this league since those chains are easy money.

Interesting. Thanks.

And thanks, Hank. =)

LL Ele Wander Online
My first wander character, ever.

Took three hours of trading, research, respeccing my Ngamahu, but it's up.

Ran one map.

It's fucking badass.

Gear


Still have to rework flasks and adjust a few other small details.

Bought the Shavs for 5.7ex @ 142%, divined it to 199% in 3 attempts and promptly 6L'd it in something like 200j and 150f. Savings of like.. 7ex? =D

@Serleth
Spoiler

Looking forward to updates on your wander toon...

How do you like it versus HoWA?

What about versus a boss killer (LL, poison+chaos conversion firestorm) plus a great clearspeed toon (Doomfletch Prism or maybe Vaal Spark)?
=====================
It seems to me that POE is currrently all about clear speed - with some boss killing ability required for certain challenges assuming you don't want to buy them - if you're willing to purchase boss kills, it's all about clear speed - Doomfletch Prism and Vaal Spark would seem to be the strongest builds currently for clearspeed judging from posts in the forums/Youtube videos - but, not having played either toon, I could be wrong.
=====================
Currently I'm struggling with my WI toon - great survivabily - able to clear all content - but clear speed just isn't on par with projectile-based builds.

If I had a "do-over" I would not have rolled this toon given the clear speed meta - tentatively I'm planning on 6-linking the nice 800 ES chest I have and then rolling a HoWA toon - but maybe I'll do something else - Doomfletch Prism in particular is intriguing - I could roll Doomfletch for clearspeed and keep my WI for boss kills.
