Until poe.trade starts offering an option (maybe it does and I don't know about it) to set a message like "I won't reply unless you're buying 30 or more maps in this tier"

Use the Note system in the premium tab, when you right click an item it gives Price, Exact Price and Note.

Eg, right click a Mesa map

Note: ~b/o 1 alc (30+ bulk sales only)

It won't auto reply, and there's no guarantee everyone reads it but, it does provide a way for you to let people know.

BTW, I'm pretty sure the frog prophecy is a reply to Serleth's forum signature. ;)

Hah, that'd be hilarious if it was, but there was a bug that quadrupled the size of frog pets for a while. That line was in one of Chris' replies on reddit to the issue.

I think Serleth's pricing unit by unit with notes is the only way to tell buyers you are only selling in bulk... can double down and name the tab Bulk Maps as well...

Back in 2.2 when the system came out, you could price by tab (~b/o 1 alch) and then include a note on the individual items about bulk only... but too many people were using the note to say BUYING not selling... which was super annoying... so poe.trade stopped showing notes on buyout tabs, I think I heard...

Not sure if that's true or not, cuz I've never tried it, but it works on just regular public tabs where you're not setting a price on everything.

And Then Things Got Completely Out of Control

Sounds promising, hank...

While, when I get really lazy on loot with my HoWA character, someetimes I can do whole maps on 1-2 portals... if I'm refilling my unID tab (I've been doing unID for a week or 2 now with Breach Rings + alch'd amulets for some 1c recipes) and there are some Breaches/etc, I still manage to use all my portals without the MF gear

I've started seeing Chayula breaches a bit more (and other Breachlords in general give me hope of finding Chayula himself) since I started rushing Yellow maps and soon to be Red maps with my HoWA character

Finally making progress on 36 challenges... I stalled out at 24 for awhile and switched characters, but now 27/40 and most of the rest except for Endless Grind (lots to do) and 10k tiers (1200 done, half in the last few days) I'm near completing the rest with a bit of work on each... 3/4, 7/10, 10/15, etc etc

Since I hadn't explored the back half of the map on my CA character, I was easily able to opt-in to the optimized map... recently finished most of the maps I was missing T7-T9, completed Vinktar for 5c, completed Colonnade, shaped Mesa and Collonade... just need to do Excavation for shaping Strand, uncomplete Excavation, and then pick up some Gorge and t14-15 maps to finish out the map... sitting at 70/126

How profitable would you guys consider Perandus mapping yourself? I mean... I could pay 3c per map and complete Perandus challenge in about 150c... or try and catch the people in trade 820 selling for 6-8c and finish in 60-80c... you guys making up the 70-90c difference?

There's an analysis about the profitability of Perandus on reddit, albiet for Essence League. The conclusion is that Perandus was marginally profitable in Essence; non-unique drops from Perandus mobs were not tracked though, so it's a bit more profitable than raw numbers from the analysis would indicate.

Note that the cost of Perandus coins used in the analysis is 53 Perandus coins = 1c. On ESC, it's now about 115 to 140 Perandus coins = 1c.

Since about half the value of the wealth generated by the Perandus mod comes from coins, and since the coins are now worth about 1/2 as much as they were in Essence, it appears that Perandus is not profitable for Breach League, at least in softcore.

Trying to buy the coffers in 820 chat seems to be better than using the Perandus mod on maps.

I'm going to try Perandus for a few more maps - if nothing good happens I'll drop it and use Bloodlines instead.

Well... I decided to give it a go... I consider my first try a success so far

I'm running Shaped Strands with 15-20% quality depending on whether I get the chisel prophesy, 1 white and 1 yellow sextant (at least until I burn through my SSF supply of them) 1 sac fragment I have laying around outside of full sets... and Perandus for the challenge

My first try with this, I got 2 Shaped Strands unrelated to Perandus, 2 Shaped Strands and a Shaped Mesa from an Archive, and an Eye of Chayula from Cadiro...
