[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" Impossible for me to get enough wisdomscrolls by myself, easily solved by buying massive amount of transmutes and selling them for wisdoms. Or how do u guys do it ? Not being forced to pick up wisdoms/portals saves time. |

" Yeah I do this as well. Like you mentioned, I won't stop to pick up an individual scroll, but I'll stop for a transmute because this is like picking up wisdom x4. And buying around 40 transmutes for a single chaos will net you 160 wisdoms a pop. Legacy SC IGN: Octora

" I am clearly not as efficient as you all. I try to pick up all the things! I might have a problem, and the currency tab makes it easy to hoard. @Serleth, thanks for pointing out the difference between the left and right path of the pierce wheel, I had them backwards. |

Right, but even if all you do is pick up wisdoms/portal scrolls after you demolish bosses/exiles, that sorta thing, you'll end up with an extra 8 or so scrolls per map.
Doesn't seem like a lot, but let's say 160 scrolls is a chaos, that means every 20 maps you're saving a chaos you otherwise would've spent on transmutes to vendor for scrolls. Pays off, long term. Even if you're still buying scrolls, you buy less thanks to the Portal gem. But yeah, as long as you don't really go out of your way to grab scrolls, it's not a waste of time. Pick up whatever's near the loot and you're good, save even more chaos that you won't spend on transmutes. I don't typically ever have to buy transmutes just doing that and avoiding most non-bow/staff 2h pickups unless they're chrome vends or Vaal Axes, that sorta thing. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

"Agreed 100%. I've read every post in this thread, (not all at once, mind you!) and IIRC I've seen Serleth resort to pulling out the claws twice in total. I've seen a lot of folks elsewhere pooh pooh on CA MF, claiming they can make more currency doing Uber Atziri runs with whatever flavour of the month build is currently ridiculously overpowered, however, those are typically nerfed *hard* at league end, while this one lives on with minor tweaks. :) This is the first build I've run that generates enough currency to finish all 40 challenges easily. Actually, I have 14 pure exalt extra, and probably 3 times that in equivalent orbs / store stock, so it's OVERfinanced 40 challenges. It's also the only build I've ever stuck with over more than a single league. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD
Feel free to message me in game if I'm on. |

I am new to the forum and the build. For 2.3 do you think going Ascendent is still the best option or is going Ranger into Deadeye worth while? Or maybe even a different route like Slayer or Raider? Just kinda trying to get a feel of ideas.

Still Ascendant for SC, Trickster for HC.

What do you think is best to put the extra points in? Think it is worth it to hit deadeye/slayer?

Nope, not enough to grab another notable in Ascendant.
Still Deadeye/Occultist + Path of the Ranger to save a few passive points on the main tree. Free Pierce / Extra arrow is too valuable (saves a gem slot) and the -chaos resistance to cursed enemies is massive for killing bosses faster. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

Fair enough! Think this is a good first build of the season to go with this season? Any of the nerfs notable enough to perhaps make this a little slower than some of the other options?
