Path of Gambling?

The whole game is gambling, even if you dont engage in any of the things you listed.

Killing mobs for loot = pulling the slot machine handle and seeing what pops out.

If you dont worship rn-jesus, dont play

so you mean we should just leave it this way stop playing and never criticize this?

Absolutely. The main player base loves the gambling. If you want something more deterministic, play a different game. Gamba is life.

you mean the main playerbase that is like 1%??

i also like your discussion politics "go play something else" like move away and dont criticize anything. did your read in what subforum we are? "Feedback and Suggestions"

if you dont like to discuss anything you can just go and do something else :)

"Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1)" as in, suggestions for path of exile. I'm telling you, that you previously have misunderstood the entire point of the game, path of exile, and that the suggestion to change the very core of said game, is a waste of your time.

Strange. My stash wealth is 200d+ right now, and I didn't do a single thing that OP listed. That's because I don't gamble in this game.

I remember a youtuber saying this for currency farming years ago and it still holds true: Consistency is key. Don't gamble for big ticket items. The odds are stacked against you.

Do the following:
- Sell your div cards and the crystallised lifeforce
- Sell your Valdo's Puzzle Boxes
- Sell your Reliquary Keys
- Don't use Recombinator, sell items if they have valuable mods
- Don't gamble with gold
- Don't use map runners, stick to shipments
- Run low-risk atlas strats that can be easily farmed like essences in T6+ maps, strongboxes WITHOUT Containment scarab, or Harvest WITHOUT Awakening scarab
- Only run high-risk atlas strats IF your build is strong enough to comfortably tackle them, it's not worth it if you have to spend 6 portals clearing a map
- Sell your T17 maps, run T16.5 instead
- If you farm Incursions for building temples, sell the chronicles
- Run Exarch altars instead of Eater, less pay for consistent gains
- If you farm Eldritch bosses, sell your unID Forbidden Flame/Flesh jewels
- If you farm Elder or Uber Elder, sell your unID Watcher's Eyes
- If you farm Eagon's memory threads, sell the pinnacle boss invitations
- DON'T FUCKING CRAFT

Let some other poor sod blow away their currency gambling. You want currency? Play it safe.


This is very solid advice for most people. Unless you are in the to .002% of players, you will not pull off mirror-tier crafting. They have the resources and earning power to afford playing RNG tag with 500 div bases. Yes, getting that top bow in a league WILL be a license to print mirrors. But the people pulling that off have a massive support structure behind them.

You can make a fun, smooth running character than can clear most pinnacle content simply by selling what Pizzarugi listed TO those .002%.

Aspirational content is good, but understand your actual odds, and know the relative limitations of your support.

oh im sorry you feel that i have misunderstood the entire point of the game.
let me clear this out, i dont misunderstand it, i just think certain things of the game (be it core or not) are just a bad design.

I too like to play games that I feel are poorly designed, just so I can complain about it. I see you brother!
“Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
i only do a few crafts every league but those are 100% success crafts after you hit alt+aug+regal and depending on the craft annul (for 2 mod rares etc)

the remaining mods are done with Suffix/preffix blocking + harvest augment/influence exalted orbs

another option are eldritch chaos/annul/exalted and beastcrafting

these are normaly not mirror tier items but they get you like 90% of the power,which means more than enough power to totaly destroy uber pinnacle bosses

here we go again :D
you simply assume that i hate it so much that its a dealbreaker for me or something. i like mostly 90% of the game only because i dont like 10% of the game doesnt mean i have to stop playing it, im going to give my feedback on it.
i mean its fine that you disagree but you got no valid points at all so thats why you telling others to leave, like bruh we're "absolutely" going to leave the forum and the game only because you said so
