Hi all,

I have just published a video explaining how to use POB Trade to find weapon and shield upgrades (applies to amulets too). Hope this is useful!

my biggest question though is what should I farm now at level 100? red altars with expedition still or are there better options? expedition is the only thing ive been doing because of op's video and i dont know much of the other leagues, also would appreciate any tips you have on what to improve or do rn(im already looking for implicits and enchants on the uniques though)

I have been doing harvest farm, this is my strategy. It's a bit expensive though with all the compasses etc and you will die quite a bit but its fun and you dont have to trade often, just for compasses, scarabs, and sell the lifeforce in bulk

https://maxroll.gg/poe/poe-atlas-tree/m2010qvb

Strat is basically use scarabs for pack size with the growing hordes keystone (any scarab is fine), increased chance for expedition but not forced so it comes up some times, uses extreme archaeology keystone for faster clear and dannig/tujen increased chance.
When running the map go straight to the boss, then the elder altars will more often give you + quant + item rarity option, always choose that.
The main part is harvest, and it scales with pack size and item quantity. Do harvest for last in the map
Maps are sustaiend with singular focus, some shaping nodes and duplicate minor nodes. There is also some tormented spirit tech but not sure how good it really is. Also shrine tech to make clearign speed faster.
You should only run 20 quality 8 mod corrupted maps, i usually filter those that aren't 100% item quant. You can run unidentified corrupted maps aswell with the compass that gives +20% pack size to unidentified maps


Thanks for the tip, ill take a look into it brother

That video is amazing, so many good upgrades for so little price, thanks!!
Hey,

I have a question concerning weapon, i'm using a sceptre with +1 to level of all spell skill gems and +1 to level of all cold spell skill gems, why you don't use that ? We do not gain that much of damage with +2 on spells ?

Sorry for my english

One of the easiest ways to get a decent weapon is to get a +1 fractured base and then just spam deafening essence of woe on it until you get dot multi/another desirable mod and then just craft cold damage/multi on it.

+2 spells is good but it probably won't beat +1 and 90%+ spell damage + 30% cold dot multi

Since i already have a decent gear, i guess,, i was looking for the best in slot for every piece of gear so i have something to chase in the game. Do you have any advice ?

OP would probably be best, but just looking at your gear your sceptre isn't the problem.
If I recall correctly the damage bonus from + gem level drops off heavily after gem level 30 anyways.


Your shield on the other hand doesn't have a spell damage roll AT ALL so I think its a no brainer replacing that first with a +1/life/spell damage one.

you can try experimenting with what i did last league

https://poe.ninja/builds/crucible/character/SonsOfKorhal/IceBallDoTBuild_CRUC

- go for a +1/+2 or +2/+2 dialla.
- grab an oriath's end flask so you can replace your boots for more dps. dialla's will provide significant dps, at the cost of some defenses - you can tune your equipment around that.
- curse effectiveness helm is slightly better for dps, you can experiment with that as well. i also tried finding helms with 90% mana reservation multiplier for auras (implicit), to try and fit an aspect of the spider into the build (it may be possible, but will be expensive for very minor dps/defense boost).
- see if you can run vaal RF for the spell dmg buff, you might find it fun.
- interact with the league mechanic to see what tattoos are best - last league i took some time to craft my wand and shield's trees.
