[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I seem to be getting <0.1 ex/hour.

I was running Shores, Promenades and Areans (around 15 maps in total).

I got around 10-15 c in currency at the end.

It took me >5 mins to clear each map (7-10)-I dont know if I lack dmg or am I being really really inefficient or what.

Gear is in my profile, "Abudantia" character.

I need tips and help.

MF is at 20/200, capped resistances and around 3.8k HP.

Seems like the 10% movement speed from goldwyrm feels so slow in maps..

2x Ample Quicksilver Flasks of Adrenaline.

Solves that problem.

Quicksilver + Silver Flask are better IMHO. You can use better for a big bonus, since their effects stack.

One problem with Qucksilver+Silver is you use twice as many charges, so less uses.

Sulphur flask is also nice for bosses. DPS boost is pretty good.

Anyone had time to try Atziri on perendus league? Any tips?

How do you guys save enough to afford Andvarius..

Do you guys just start with lower rarity Andvarius' and then upgrade?

How are you guys getting 20 IIQ?

I only have 15 from gear (Goldwyrm).

Am I missing something here?

Gem level 18, +2 bow, and 200 IIR are the reasons your ex/hr ratio is low.

0.5ex/hr is generated based on having a finished build. You're missing 7 gem levels (between raw gem level of 21, +3 bow (4 levels), and Empower 3 (which becomes Empower 4 in a +1 all gems which = 3 levels) = 7 levels total) which is a LOT of damage, and 100% IIR.

Those are pretty significant deficits to be trying to compare yourself to 0.5/hr.

Keep plugging away.

They're fairly cheap this league. But yeah, I usually get a 55-60% Andy, then upgrade later.

It'll be a bit regret-heavy but you can salvage it. Somewhere around 30 regrets.

It's doable to get started from where you're at though.

Adjusted tree that doesn't require you to change EVERYTHING:

This has easily become my new favorite flask with this build:



I just hit the flask, run like mad for 3.5 seconds, shoot a cloud backwards and forwards, which refills it instantly and kills everything, then pop it again and repeat. I can use it with nearly full up-time while mapping or in dried lake.

Something that I found to help a lot with my farming speed with Caustic Arrow is to set up your loot filter properly.

Since we have to shoot the cloud, then wait for it to kill the enemies, you potentially spend a lot of time sitting around just waiting - sometimes there are no notable drops, so this time is wasted.

What I've done is set up my loot filter to play different sounds when certain items drop. That way I can keep moving all the time and let my cloud do its work off screen as I sprint ahead. Then I just listen to the sounds that play from the off screen kills. If I hear a chaos or regal orb drop, I know to sprint back for it. If I hear nothing, then I know not to waste my time going back.

This has cut my map clearing time in half.
