[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Equipped skills on character or?... Now that you mention it... I think it would be interesting if just skills equipped into the helmet itself had an increased likelihood of being enchanted for...

I havent even looked to buy enchants off of poe.trade... if I were to do something like that next league, I'd have to plan it from the start... because you generally need to craft onto a good base with the enchant you want... then probably compensate your resistances elsewhere with poe.trade depending on what you end up with...

Getting a useable enchant before I'm done would just be a bonus really... one thing I've started to notice running the labs so much is the potential for recipes/currency gains... which I think someone mentioned before... I stopped ruining portals when I understood what they did today... so getting 2 keys in 6-7 minute runs and enchanting... getting 2 extra keys from chests every 5 runs or so... so about 22 keys per hour... the chests are basically strongboxes/perandus chests... getting a decent amount of jewelry and arcanist/artisan boxes... not bad really... as a perk... might get in on the enchant market a little bit next league...

I picked this up on poe.trade the other day for 40c. It was white with just the enchant. Used alts, augs and regal...no chaos spam. I think its worth a little more than I paid for it now.

aaaaand... after another 2-3hrs in Cruel Lab today (the only one with a good layout, since the gold key room can be accessed before door room...), I wracked up my 2 missing boot enchants... in all that time I enchanted every pair of boots I had in my sales tabs (making sure none would have their lvl req boosted to 42 of course)

I have to say... today in Cruel Lab I really saw how Lab running can be profitable... I was doing a run in about 6-8 minutes, so 7-8 runs/hr... and that was being able to leave fonts alive and usually all 3 liuetenants (a real race to finish Izaro before lieutenant reached cloud patch), and Argus was along the main route, so I was getting 4 keys in 7 minutes, making getting the 2 extra keys from chests at the end likely... and a LOT of the end chests are pure currency or jewelry...

I think I collected several hundred whetstones/scraps for chisel recipe, about 100 trans/aug, and a decent amount of the rest... and even found some good jewelry to try and sell despite only being 55-57...

Some runs I was getting 5-7c worth of currency in 7 minutes... seems competitive to map running numbers... when its a good layout...

Now I just need another good Merciless Lab day to hopefully finish Helmet Trap enchant... too bad they fixed the door skipping trick since that made more layouts good... like yesterday's

UPDATE: took about 14hrs to finish Lab Enchants... never got a build-improving enchant... unless you count Rallying Cry and Frenzy... one of which I don't use, and the other who's damage is negligible

talking to yoursef for the past five pages?^

Can someone tell me what are best enchants to get for this build? I haven't had much time to play labyrinth so I would appreciate some help.

Boots: 6% spell dodge when hit by spells recently.

Gloves: I like using Decree of Spite for the cold ground it emits when hit. Light and Reflection are also good options. Take your pick, but those are probably the top three for gloves.

Helmet: Either Vulnerability effectiveness, or CA Damage / Radius.

I'm a big fan of 6% more movement speed on boots if you haven't been hit recently too.

Realistically, though, you might get enchants you like on your boots and gloves, but helmet isn't very likely. There's just too many options.

Yep.

At present there's only one CA MF helmet on the market in Perandus (2ex), and it's a pure ES base.

(Searching for dual res, life, 20%+ rarity and one of either Vuln effectiveness, CA radius, or CA damage).

There's none in Standard.

There's no realistic way you're getting a CA MF helmet without either stupidly good luck, or a ridiculous amount of patience.

If you want it done though, just buy a similar helm to the one you're using then spam the ever loving hell out of labs for a few days.

@sSasori: 5 pages? No... 5 days? maybe

@everyone else: Even searching for ANY helmet with evasion and a useful enchant (for chaos spamming) only turns up a dozen results... and most are uniques... Alpha's Howl, Rat's Nest, Vertex, Heretic's Veil... and most are 2ex like Serleth said...

Agreed. Hell, one of 'em is mine - I've got my Goldrim with 25% extra CA damage listed for 1.5ex. I don't really want to sell it - the thing boosts my damage by 1k on lower level maps where I don't need the extra evasion. OTOH, I guess I don't *really* need the extra damage on those maps either... The thing is, 1.5 ex would persuade me to part with it. Less than that and I'll just keep it.

Challenges progress, albeit slowly. I'm still short one 'easy' one, one grind, and one expensive one. Tormented thief is easy - if I ever find one. I could always spam Torment maps, I guess, they aren't that expensive. Zana is the grind. And the divination card one... I could afford to buy that one outright, but I've been running the appropriate maps in the hope that I pick up the cards in the wild, because the prospect of paying 5-6ex for three more rubs me the wrong way. :D

Thanks for the tip on Global 820, they've been a great help. Got my Tantalus through there yesterday night, just keeping an eye on it every minute or so.

PS: I've run nearly all the unique maps available now just for shits and giggles - the only one that really kicked my rump was the Hall of the Grandmasters. I got several layers in no problem, then I ran into some guy that I literally couldn't hurt at all. Probably has Chaos Innoculation, the pest. He murdered me for all 6 portals. :o
