Not so bad. Having a tough time on the 2nd challenge >:[

Just counted all my SSF 6l I could find 8 in total so not that hard.What I don't do is save up 1000's of fuses and use all at once,that is depressing.I just save a few use them but leave a few spare.For someone who can get 40 challenges in SSF they should find it even easier.

End of Abyss. Just leveled Molten Strike Pathfinder to 100.
Got ~61 Lich kills, all but ~2 done with Lich killer Hierophant. Highest tier in which I got a Lich was T14. Skipped a lot of Abyss cracks and some depths in the later stages. Mostly on T9- due to lousy xp/h. Most run maps (not sure about exact order) Shaped Channel, Shaped Ashen Woods, Shaped Arid Lake, Wharf, Shaped Dunes. T13 I didnt find a good one and changed it a few times. T14 was Shaped Estuary but doesnt drop so often with <100 Atlas. Elder sat on Ashen Woods which influenced my Atlas Shaping. Shaped Channel with sextants was good but it got too laggy. Later on I ditched Shaped Channel and switched to Shaped Sulphur Wastes for 3:1 to Ashen Woods upgrade. No single 6link (other than Tabula and corrupted from Uber lab chest) dropped. Unique Gavel ratio was ~20:0. -- Build/gear - not much changed from before: Passive Tree Build can do all map mods other than ele reflect. Ele reflect may be possible too with careful play but I never tried it. Helmet is most dangerous part probably. -- Some more recent random loot: -- Those 3:1 recipes really dont like SSF: The rings can be grinded I guess. Didnt try - was just happenstance due to running Estuary (Shaped and not) a lot. But the golem jewels are out of my league in terms of grind. -- "If I already have a 5link and want a 6link I almost always use Vorici. The manual 6link RNG is rather unfun for me. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

" Well done! I haven't been able to get my characters very far into endgame for a couple of leagues now, so it's been interesting to peek into what other players have come up with in Abyss, especially when pushing for level 100 like you did. Never seen a tree quite like yours before. I like your concept of using a Gemini Claw and a high hit rate gem combo like Ancestral Call + Molten Strike to recover both life and mana quickly. Was that something you planned from the start? Regardless, good stuff. |

" Thx. I did not (at all) plan this. Plan was to play drops x enchantments. Started with self cast Spark. One of my first uber lab helmet enchants scored the Molten Strike. Did then a chaos/poison Molten Strike version with Wasps Nest but it had issues. Biggest one was the lagginess of the build. And (didnt know that at the time) the way the Abyss jewels roll does not go well with chaos/poison attack builds. It strongly favours elemental. So I switched to elemental Molten Strike which worked out much better. The Gemini claw for MoM build part I have used before. Even with Molten Strike on my CA build in Legacy league. CA got no leech and has (at least my build) lousy single target so Molten Strike + Gemini fixed both at once vs bosses. Although this wouldnt work anymore due to the double dipping removal changes. I use one '+3 energy shield per enemy hit by attacks' jewel which is sometimes enough to fill ES quickly - like against Null portals or Abyss cracks in high tier maps with defensive mods when I cant instagib mobs. ES was up most of the time which means the Gemini life-on-hit didnt actually come into play that often. Not sure if the build even needs the life-on-hit part. The mana-on-hit part is necessary though. I had issues with mana recovery when still using Wasps Nest - although with Blood Rage then. Life Recovery is already strong between regen, helmet and shield. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

" Thx. " Not sure about the 1->99 part. '/played' doesnt work for me as I dont logout much. 99->100 I did ~4.5M/h on average which makes for ~70h in maps for the last level. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

Hey there guys, I played the whole season as ssf abyss, and 4 days ago I archived lv8 zana :^)
so far I had X7 portal gems and just hit 2 of them The same day I found this jewel And my enlighten hit lv3 so I tried and success On the other hand, I tried through the whole season to chance jewelled foils into Cospri's Malice and failed so hard :( even when I 6L'ed both of those armors through the season Seems I have to wait until the merge to enjoy those in ssf standard :/ Last edited by nlarry32x#7808 on Feb 26, 2018, 1:03:01 AM

last day of the league....
got a random biscos just randomly out of nowhere (after chancing every single gold amu ofc). not two hours later.....got the fire-amulet from elder. plus a watchers eye (which has useless rolls). after getting like 4 belts from elder before. on the last day of the league. atlas is at 143/ 157, i havent even FOUND a single shrine/ ghetto map yet, wtf. thus im obviously lacking the achievment for double-boss shrine map, got every other one, even the stupid double boss core. 5 vaal-orbs in my stash, since i vaaled a sh*t-ton of maps, with no success obviously - but now i can go ahead and vaal TIER ONE TO SIX maps for the achievment, and i just know i wont hit the 8 mods. also lacking the rare chests sextant achievment, while my ENTIRE atlas is blocked/ shaped. meanwhile my character (the jugg) has hit GG-status by SSF-terms, my stash is filled with i-lvl 83+ jewels and stygian belts, i got sixlinks, found a shavs, NINE EXALTD ORBS LOL, you f*cking name it. just feels bad, i know for a fact my juggs is more than shaper-viable, i know i played this league more than any other before and i played it right, - but why do i then end it with less achievments and progress than the leagues before where i played less and on weaker characters? |

Because no trading makes is way more challanging than many think.
