The Overgrown Chamber - [WIP]Progress Log - Baleful Hideout

I've always wanted to dedicate some time to create a decent looking hideout (I'm no DerroK), but it always felt like a waste before the new hideout updates.

This is a work in progress.

This hideout has no MTX. Only decoration items that can be purchased from masters or come with getting a hideout (stash, waypoint, map device, masters). The only "unobtainable" item (as far as I'm aware at least) is the blessing font which I used for the light beam over the map device. If you have an MTX, use that. Or it's a small, rather unnecessary detail if you don't have access to either.

It uses the Baleful Hideout, the Chamber of Sins tileset. Mainly because it's a smaller layout. I want to do some of the larger ones, but I figured I'd start small and work up. It's vaguely sewer aesthetic inspired using a lot of rubble and sewer moss, along with some Delve and Temple thrown in there. I'm still working on a better waypoint setup, as well as a map device setup. The map device setup is meant to be compact for long mapping sessions with Navali, your stash, and the map device all in one, easy to access, area. It needs to revamped (I don't really like what I built, but I need to unlock more deco items to improve it in the way I want).

This is "balanced" using the Automaton Portal Effect, but anything somewhat spaced out will work. The vanilla one likely will be fine though I haven't looked at it for myself yet. I also tested it out with the Sin Portal Effect which also looked nice, images of which can be found in the album link.

The total cost is 1.4m favor.
Master levels required for all decoration items are:

Zana: 5
Alva: 6
Einhar:6
Niko: 5

For a more detailed breakdown, just import the .hideout into namanix's hideout calculator tool: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2264685

(I currently only have a lv 6 Zana, lv 2 Alva, lv 3 Einhar, lv 4 Niko. I'm working on leveling up my masters so I have a greater variety of decoration items to purchase. Some of the higher level decoration items were reclaimed from my Standard League hideout)

Feedback is valued and appreciated. This is my first real attempt at buildling a hideout.

To Do:

- Find a better placement for Jun, Zana, and Alva (Jun and Alva are where they are mainly because they generate portals)
- Unlock Thick Trees (Alva lv 6) and Large Rocks (Alva lv 5)
- Unlock better arches & pillars for entrances (likely Eihnar and/or Alva)
- Rebuild the map device setup
- Rebuild the waypoint/entrance setup
- Build a better "entrance way" to Einhar, Helena, & Niko
- Build a centerpiece where Jun is currently
- Fill up empty space on the "upper floor" of the hideout
