Aiming for 28/40 challenges on PS5, is it real?

Hey folks 👋

I’m kinda new-ish to PoE again (last played around 2017), recently got a PS5 and decided to dive back in. I’ve been playing both PoE1 and PoE2, but PoE1 feels way more rewarding for me right now (challenges, MTX set, etc).

So far:
- Finished campaign
- Level 89 Deadeye (started Kinetic Blast, now playing Ele Hit)
- Completed 100/100 Atlas (some maps were rough 😅)
- Currently at 12/40 challenges, realistically aiming for ~18–20

But I’ve hit a wall and not sure how to proceed:

1. Console economy feels brutal
Everything is insanely expensive on PS5. Stuff like T4/Taro challenges and unique-related challenges feels way out of reach currency-wise.

2. Endgame bosses / ubers
I don’t think I can realistically do ubers or some harder bosses solo with my current setup/skill level.

So I’m trying to figure out what’s the best move here:

- Should I just accept ~20 challenges and chill?
- Are there any active console Discords / communities where people help with challenges or rotations?
- Or should I reroll into a more “meta” build that can handle T15+ and bosses more comfortably?

Would really appreciate any advice, especially from console players 🙏

A lot of the challenges can be finished just by grinding, if you've got the time.

It baffles me every time someone complains about how expensive stuff is on console market...

If everything is expensive, then you just need to sell items too. The expensive market is only "brutal" if you're a buy-only type player.

Also, there were major loot/endgame changes this league, so the PC economy is "expensive" too. It's sort of similar to inflation if the real world. Everyone has more currency, so prices go up.

Back to challenges... Some will be very difficult to do if your build is struggling with t16 maps.

But you can either switch builds or grind currency to get upgrades and then maybe you'll be able to do them.
