Path of Exile

I'm playing SSF btw

I need a stupid T4 unique that I haven't managed to drop (I did drop the ONLY OTHER UNIQUE WITH THE SAME BASE THANK YOU GGG -well at least this means that I can guarantee the one I need if I get an Ancient orb, right?- edit: no, Ancient Orb keeps class and ignores base, so I can vendor the one I dropped OK) or chance.

I missed a few years of PoE, so reading around it seems like trying Gwennen gambling is (or was) a good way to farm T1-T0, so I guess it should work for lower tiers as well? But is there a better way that you can suggest?

I'm at my wits' end, since I'm level 87 and I haven't managed to get it yet, absolutely my fault I know, but if I can't get it "soon" I will probably migrate to Trade league and buy it for 3c lol

I have a very old CPU and without multithreading I get abysmal FPS in certain encounters like Breach (which I'm farming), couple of times I hit 1 FPS, and average like 10 FPS, which often kills me.

Multithreading + Vulkan crashes the game with an engine error that apparently has no fix; DX12/11 crash the game as soon as I pick either. I think I'm running PoE with the latest ProtonGE. Any way to make it work? I don't really care about graphics at this point, if I can get 30+ stable FPS in Breaches I'm happy lol

edit:

• nVidia GPU and latest stable GPU drivers
• updated PoP! OS

What do you think about the new stuff of the league? How is Kingsmarch doing? How's your progress with your build?

Round 10 was just 5 chaos. I quit at round 9 and walked away with my divine orb.

Over the weekend, we launched Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur. We’re pleased to report that deployment went extremely smooth on PC with only a few issues that we were able to hotfix relatively quickly! We also hit a new record peak for concurrent players at 350,000! We are closely monitoring feedback and reports and will continue to update our Live Updates post with any hotfixes and updates.

Unfortunately there were some pretty major issues with our console release which were resolved several hours after launch.

We know you’ve all been busy finding ores, collecting gold and upgrading Kingsmarch so you might not have had time to check out all the clips from all of the amazing content creators! We’ve gathered some of our favourite highlights from the weekend for you to check out.

Though many many shipments we have tested and pretty well solved the base mechanics of the Shipping in Settlers of Kalguur - here's how to get the rewards you want and to scale the currency and loot you get back from your shipments!

UPDATES: Port level may play a role in determining a minimum level for favored requests. Based on Steelmage not doing any fulfillments and then going from port 1 to 11 in one go and then first refreshing updating to a large request size. Looks like a built in catch up mechanic for juicers, makes sense so they aren't stuck doing tiny shipments for days to catch up. I wonder if there is a upper limit to trade value of requests based on your port level?

There are still a lot of unknowns, but here is what was figured out so far. Not sure who is the source of the image, if you know, let me know and I'll add a note.

xkcd | 1172: Workflow

This is my first league in years and I decided to try SSF for the first time, I'm building a pretty standard ED/Contagion Occultist that I plan to spec to Low Life if I manage to chance/drop the needed uniques (four unique pieces: Cane of Unravelling, Heretic's Veil, Shavronne's Wrappings and Presence of Chayula), of which only the amulet should be difficult to obtain since I need to drop a Blessing of Chayula, but the Atlas Passive should help with targeting Breach encounters... hopefully!

Still in acts and unfortunately I'm not dropping any "+1 to gems" equip, so damage is a bit lacking at the moment, but survivability is good and I'm moving forward at a decent pace!
