[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" Grats on the 6-link though and the nice 21 CA. |

" The stuck at 5 thing was just bad luck. I've got a pool of 11's ready for the "kitchen sink" treatment to sustain 10-11-12's for the Kill 80+ Rigwald challenge. |

" So has anyone figured out exactly how that ilvl thing works? Because "slightly higher than average talisman input level" didn't say much and I haven't seen anybody yet with a definitive formula that works to determine exactly what the output ilvl is. Also, thanks. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" Yes it's a weighted arithmetic average of the iLevels of the sacrificed talismans as follows: R = round [(H*3 + (M1 + M2 + M3)*2 +L)/10] Where R = resultant iLevel of talisman dropped by summoned monster H = highest iLevel of sacrificed talismans M1, M2, M3 = iLevel of the middle 3 L = lowest iLevel of the sacrificed talismans And 0.5 apparently rounds up (I haven't confirmed this though). So 2 Tier 3 iLevel 80's and 3 Tier 3 ilevel 79's should do the trick. Also, the level of the zone in which you summon has no bearing on the iLevel of the talisman dropped. Edit: Confirmed that 0.5 rounds up. I sacrificed 2 69's and 3 68's and got a 69. Last edited by hankinsohl#1231 on Dec 27, 2015, 5:51:09 AM

Ah, neat.
That doesn't quite make sense with how they phrased it though, because then if you put in five ilvl 76 talismans, you get... an ilvl 76 talisman. "Slightly higher," orly. So... basically you need to farm T13s anyway, like mad. WELP, guess I'll start pushing my maps tomorrow. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" You can probably squeak by, by farming mostly T10 and T11 because the iLevel of a talisman dropped from an instance mob follows the same rules as other drops: same iLevel from white mob, +1 from magic mob and +2 from rare/boss. I think talismans are mostly dropping from rares/magics for me; in fact, I'm not sure if I've had one drop from a white mob but really haven't been paying enough attention to know for sure.

Are you guys, really able to push 0.3 ex per hour on talisman softcore without sales ???
I must be doing something terribly wrong. Over the last 32 hours of play time, I have accumulated 4.2 exalted orbs on talisman including sales, that's an average of 0.13125 ex per hour... I have a 5L +2 bow with IIR (no AOE gem), double andvarius and average stuff, I have 262 IIR and 18 IIQ. I'm doing maps from tiers 5 to 8, depending on what I have and what I want to do. I almost take everything that drops and do the id chaos and id regal recipes. I'm incredibly unlucky or I am doing something wrong ? Should I do higher level maps ? Is there any trick I don't know about ? Thanks My stream: https://www.twitch.tv/m_bison__

Totally off topic but perhaps of interest to some
Spoiler
If you thought Incinerate was stupidly broken, you should try Bladefall. Bladefall takes OP to a whole other level. Mover over Incinerate, there's a new sheriff in town! I'm playing around a bit with a non-optimally respeced toon which used to be dual IW incinerate. I dropped the fire/elemental damage nodes and grabbed all the AOE nodes. Running Spell Totem-Bladefall-Poison-IW-Conc Effect-Controlled Destruction with dual Doon's. Wow - this is totally broken. With level 12 bladefall and poison I'm in a Dry Peninsula map and shredding everything. It's a bit slower than my old 21/20 Incinerate setup... but not by much! This will be my next toon on Talisman for sure... except that this is so obviously broken it will probably be nerfed very soon. |
