Hello im almsot 68 and i will start to buy gear, and switch to CI,
I have 2ex and 200c, do you think its enough to start some gearup or should i farm more ( with my other char a lv 88 zombie) and get better gear ?

That's more than I've spent, I'd say, and I'm doing fine in T14 maps. And things are cheaper now than early league. You're definitely good to go.

Found first Aul in mines at depth 310, area having no mods.
At this depth level and in a "no mods" area he is less dangerous and even easier than a regular T16 Shaper Guardian (this taking in consideration that you are aware of the mechanics of the fight).

The situation is changing with 180 degrees if you find an Aul at depth 500+ and with dangerous area mods.

I have a question Lilian,

Why use Basalt flash inside of Granite? From Hideout Tooltip, the +3000 Armnor from Granite give way more physical damage reduction.

Hi, i have a question, already killed elder, minotaur, both deathless, i would like to know if im already at the point that i will have to start spending a lot of currency for upgrades or if with my current gear i can still go forward, ty guys!

From what i learnt from Kelvynn even if Armour numbers seem bigger with a Granite flask up, Basalt mitigates better against single big physical hits that can 1 shot you.

You have decent gear, if you feel the need to upgrade some parts i would start with better gloves (more ES while keeping high flat int on them) then a corrupted %intelligence Astramentis maybe even rings with corrupted implicit % increased intelligence , flat int and resists if you manage to cap your resists from your items.

After that you can go for a better Cyclopean Coil (higher % increased attributes while keeping a % increased intelligence corruption mod on it). From some point to get better gear is starts to cost more than usual but if you play constantly and get some decent drops you will afford them 1 by 1.

As a cheap short-term alternative to crafting your own Shaper Vaal, you can search for say 450 ES chests with 40+ int and one resist that have an open suffix (you can do that via pathofexile.com/trade.) Then craft 6% increased attributes on it. (Note: 4% increased attributes is a recipe you can find in the game.)

Just look for something that doesn't have an ES craft.

My chest as an example (7 chaos):

Where can you find the 4% recipe? I'm reading it's in the Imperial Gardens Trial but where in there? I'm not seeing it.

Huh. I read that it was there but I can't find it there either. Apparently I must have gotten an early Hillock's veil that had the 4% recipe and forgot completely about it. So I assume I had clicked on something in the Garden.

The POE Gamepedia lists 3% to 6% increased attributes as available only via Jun. So does https://pvaass.github.io/poecraft/ . I can't find again where I read it was in the Imperial Gardens.

So I was wrong, sorry about that.

you can get only flat 10-13 all attribs from there, all % increased attribs come from hillock's armors

Also had that problem, but after burning around 130c on std got that craft, so, if anybody needs it - doing it for any fellow WI players there for free, so as - manacosts.

Also, what should I upgrade next? Got all of these, emperor's wit and mastery and somehow managed to 6L 2 staffs in a row, so, trggering AS with flamedash now :D

if anyone's interested in buying this to craft on, shoot a pm. I'm done sinking currency into it :|

It is a bad seed, probably no one's going to be able to roll anything good on that item!

Kind of surprised you didn't roll 28%+ on quality on that. That was my minimum last league.

Is that ilvl 83 or is it higher?
