OK so just saved this reply as a screenshot to support my experience, and I have a few things I want to know more or touch on

1.) I'm using the pob that zizartan linked in his YT video and I assumed I was progressing fine with the build guide and it seems like it doesn't show the mechanics and tricks that an unexperienced player like me would know of.

2.) What should I switch my diamond flask for?

3.) I am EXTREMELY poor, 76 chaos to my name, I do use Awakened poe trade, and I have seen a few YT videos on how to make currency as a beginner but it seems like "beginner" means a completely different thing to someone who has played for some time. and running T16 maps even with 8 mods, I get about 1 chaos orb every 10 maps I run and I've gotten 2 divine orbs through the campaign that helped get my build this far.


4.) since currency is an issue for me do I keep running maps until I can get some lucky drops that will help progress my gear, or build up currency and do the crafting myself?

Again sorry this is my first league, so sorry for sounding like a super noob

1. Sorry, to clarify, do you have your current character loaded into the POB application? You download POB community fork, then import your accounts characters. This will let you copy pieces of gear and paste them into it before you buy them to see how they affect your life/dps/tankiness

2. Swap it out based on what you are doing, its good to have a couple flask you like to use. Gold flask is good when you are doing content that isnt too hard, added to your chances at getting good drops. Otherwise you can do sulpher for dps, or jade/granite for tankiness.

3/4. Running maps without a mechanic/strategy isn't very profitable in t16. You should pick something to farm. This is going to require specific scarabs and for you to create dedicated atlas passive trees, and that you sell the thing you are farming to turn it into chaos/divines, but it will be much more profitable than just running maps hoping for a lucky drop.

Some popular/low investment T16 farming strats you can look up on youtube are:

Stacked decks - what it sounds like, making lots of stacked decks with divination scarab of cloister scarab. Sell as stacks, or gamble and open em (suggest selling)

Harbinger - these drop currency shards, so youll get some raw chaos, but also lots of other forms you can sell for chaos/div.

Incursion - You build locus of corruption and doryanis temples and sell them to people who want to gamble items

T17 Maps - You use cartography scarabs to increase the t17 map drops dramatically and sell them.

Harvest - this is not cheap to do efficiently right now because the scarab of doubling is very expensive due to T17 farming strats, but can be good money earlier in league

I added you in game, message me next time were online
