[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

"

BTW with all those IIR and at least 1 unique dropping every map, I still haven't found anything that sells more than 2c...

Part of that is because, Standard. Much easier to move stuff in proper challenge leagues, especially early on.

(Or if you're in Flashback, there's just way too much loot for rares to be worth that much, there's oversaturation in either case).



It's a common mistake people make running MF builds. They think suddenly they're just going to be rolling in expensive loot like it's some form of sorcery.

I can't stress this enough: the point of MF is not about getting GG loot. That's just the added benefit, like an extra shot of espresso in your coffee.

The central point of MF is the attrition-factor of farming: being able to generate a rapid amount of reliable currency simply from the hard grind. The alterations from vendors, the 6S drops, the chrome drops, the raw currency drops, the recipes, etc.

You will, of course, see better loot more often than you would without MF. And that helps too. But it's not the main goal. It's a secondary objective, if you will, and it's very much subject to RNG. You could go days without seeing anything significant, then suddenly one day you drop a Mjoner, an Andvarius, two Lightning Coils and an Alpha's Howl.

But for those days where you have bad RNG streaks, that's why MF still works extremely well: because you're still going to be steadily pulling in currency.

Yeah, I rarely get any uniques, I mean, I get some, definitly one every 2 or 3 maps but the only unique I've got so far that was worth anything was a egemony's era and even then it's only worth like 3 ex because as you can imagine, it just wouldn't drop as a 5L or 6L.

Also got a couple vaults of atziri but no good drops from there unfortunatly... Still I was aware that I wasn't going to be swiming in uniques and most certainly not GG uniques. The chances of a GG unique droping are close to winning a lotery even on a MF build. You may get lucky and it's certaintly more likely to happen than without any MF, however you should think that instead of a one in a million chance you improved your odds maybe by one or two percent.

Good news: Dropped a Tabula Rasa on 1M league! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bad news: Vaal and promptly bricked it. HISSSSSSSSSS

Should have just sold it :p

So speaking of bad uniques, do you guys just vendor them?

Yep.

Most of them are a great source of alc shards.

I've been debating whether or not to do it. I'll probably sell them eventually since I'm running out of space to store uniques. I try to keep one of each type, 2 if it's a one handed weapon. But repeats I've been keeping to sell and sometimes I see someone asking for a cheap unique in chat and Isell it for like a chaos but realisticly, I get much more uniques than I can ever sell.

After years of having no problems my account was stolen 3 days after installing your loot filter from pastebin. Just sayin.
After some reflection I realize it is absurd to think that pastebin could be the culprit and since I don't entertain porn and dont know what a torrent is I am at a loss as to how this happened. It seems that only my POE account was affected and that in its self seems suspect. Regardless, this isn't the place for my complaints. Thanks for the replies. Sweet build BTW.

it's the fault of the loot filter. sure... *lol*

Really.

And how many porn sites have you visited in that time frame? Or torrents have you downloaded? Or was your password "MyDog'sName1234"?

I don't appreciate the passive-aggressive accusation being leveled at me.

There's been a bit of an epidemic of accounts being hacked in general the past month or so.

I assure you that it was nothing from my end, which either means a) pure coincidence or b) pastebin isn't safe. Which is extremely improbable since it's literally just notepad text that you copy pasta.

It's highly unlikely to be anything associated with the filter or that particular pastebin page, otherwise we would've seen more reports pop up on the various sites associated with the build (here, reddit, youtube).

Before you go around accusing anybody, take care to actually think about what else you've been doing on the internet in the intervening time frame, and your password management.

Personally, if I were you I'd open an account on https://forums.malwarebytes.org/ and post a message describing what happened and ask for help. It's free and they'll almost certainly find out what malware is (probably) on your computer.

If a root-kit/keylogger has been installed on your computer, you could end up losing much more than just your POE account.

Other possibilities... you have a weak password and hackers have guessed it; you've shared your password with someone else and they've been hacked or have otherwise been compromised; you use the same password on a number of sites, one of which was hacked and they tried that password on your POE account; etc.
