[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Breach mobs stay within the expanding breach circle. To minimize risk while fighting breach mobs, simply stay just outside the circle; you won't take much damage if any at all doing this.

This tip works well for open areas. Indoors - you're on your own :-)

Yay a conversation about organization and the tabs we use!

My Normal Tab for Essences

Yep, this is basically what my tab looked like as well. If Essence spawn rates were closer to what they were during Essence league, I think the temp-league benefit for the new tab would be much greater, but as it stands you can quite easily store them this way.

Quad Tab - ... It might waste more time doing it my way, but it might off set the time with not having to go back to sort maps later.

Maybe it's just a quirk thing for me, but I tend to have a ritual of things I do before bed that take some time to accomplish but still allow me to sit at the computer and trade or organize things. I essentially consider this "non-playing" time anyway, so I don't really count it towards time spent in the game, so for me, to be able to do a much larger sort all at once helps retain my uptime during active playing hours. =)

If anyone's interested, I can do a gallery of my basic setup.

I'm always interested in how people organize their stuff. Also how different is it now from when you did the basic mapping video?

So this is basically it, nothing fancy.

Runs tab is where I dump everything.

As stacks of currency accumulate, I swap them into the $ tab (mah fancy doodle Currency tab).

As I've done for leagues now, unid recipe is two arrow keys, id recipe is three. Fast and easy. I've started to slow down on doing them though cuz I'm just out of practice. MFing, you're doing so many of those an hour it's just muscle memory. Now I'm doing maybe 20% the amount per day.

From there we go to Divs (the new Div tab), which I sorely wished remembered I want it on 'Full stacks' all the time.

Then the map dump tab, which is now a Quad tab, and holy fuck do I love that.

I didn't notice that my Essence tab actually moved lol. Unid tab should be next, and later on in the league there will be a "Vendor" tab next to that, but maybe not now that I have the quad tab to sort out 789432 maps at once.

The Proph/Lab tab is for Offerings that I'll run later, and items used mostly for the Mysterious Gift prophecy (fuck that Prophecy, seriously, waste of alc shards and not worth sealing). I also keep a few uniques there for Ancient Rivalries, as that's not really worth sealing either. Common enough unique drops / cheap to buy. Cheaper than sealing, esp early league where coins are 3-4:1c

And sets is for anything gated. Shaper, Atziri, Uber Atziri, Pale Court, Breachstones, etc. Basically just another map tab but it's pushed further back because it's used less frequently than the others.

The big thing to note here really is that when I get 3-4 columns worth of random crap queued up (to the point where it's pushing on my transmutes), that's when I cycle stuff down into the other tabs. Otherwise I just dump and go.

Well I ran that a lot earlier than I should have(level 87). I was able to borrow a lvl 20 CA gem, so I gave it a shot. The clear up to the boss room is fine, a little stressful due to the timer, but as long as you are paying attention to charges, flasks and the map it plays out with little issue.

At my stage of gear the boss took a long time. With empower, and the rest of the supports leveled I see it being easier. I did my best to avoid the add portals, but near the end I panicked a little and triggered two of them, and that was my invitation to struggle town. Killed him with one portal to spare, but with more practice I'm sure I can complete it will less issue/death.


I might drop the quicksilver for an elemental flask, or another life flask for the boss fight, but I'm not sure at the moment. Also in posting those I realized not all my flasks have quality, and I have not yet crafted life on my helm. I should fix that.
