I'm running CJ already, with capped res via other gear and jewels. Not as much life as I'd like though. I had planned to clear/multimod it before, but now I question the value of doing that.

If you're already capped the only reason to do it is to be overcap for ele weakness maps, otherwise it's irrelevant. Unless you want to min-max and replace resistance jewels with life variations.

so I hit 90 yesterday, what a ride ^^

still some stuff to do, mainly killing the infamous avatar of thunder
[]
that'll btch around with his 4 bullies..
doing all the stuff on my own except t14 / t15 bosses, we clearly lack that amount of upfront burst damage and sustain (like you do, ED Contagion *envy*).

best thing is I'm not bored yet! Means I'm going to continue levelling (Zana is 7.4-ish) and rush t1-12 maps of my likings. Best part is corrupted unidentified museums / arenas. The loot is so much from the 6 bosses alone.. Madness! Sales are down to two things: non-drop gems, vagan daggers, elreon rings and uniques (maps, t2-t1). lvl 20 gems sit there with 15c b/o untouched. Maybe I re-level them soon, since my swaps are 20/20 in a few hours.

killed atziri for a flask (ofcourse) for the first time this league too :) yay!

GZ on your hope Ser and the bow ofc, seeing you finally getting it is nice! chromes are without words :( I'll have you some spares if you like, somehow the process is much smoother with chromes from strangers (well, at least I believe that ^^)

my stomach hurts from 5 x-mas dinners...

Gratz on 25 bud! You're almost there =)

How much are you getting for Vagan daggers btw? I saw some guy wtb for 30c or something.

O_x

I've clearly missed out on a major profit margin, somehow.

I know I goofed this league forgetting about Elreon rings. Like... EVERY DAY. I just keep forgetting to check for them and sell'm.

Oops.

TY <3

Eeh the master weapons depend on the base, alot. Selling the 80% crit ones for 20c, the lower ones for 7c-15c (and thanks to some dubious scripts) they almost sell out within 5 minutes I put them in the tab. Same goes for Elr rings, crit and resistances implicits are most sought, followed by IIR.

I clearly don't know if stopping at 28 is acceptable for me.. need - that - totem - pole!! but then again, some challenges will show me the limits of our bruteforce method, there's only so much currency makeable in a timeframe. 28 is in reach, 32 needs some blessing from a certain someone high up pushing the button of RNG :)

Alright, I made this build with my ranger, and it's simply awesome.

Got a question, though.
So, I can quickly run lv 68-73 maps. I like 73 maps more since they can give ilvl 75 loot. I can easily run 74-75 maps too, but they sometimes seem not to give even the map's value. I got 72 IIQ and 239 IIR.

The question is, which tier maps do you find mostly profitable? And should I aim for 77+ maps in terms of profit, or do lower maps earn more in time?

As I assume from your profile (characters are set private) you play in standard (no challenges done, and by the time you hit maps you should at least have a handful of challenges from story bosses).

So assuming standard, run the maps you a) don't die and b) clear fast. Both a and b contribute to generate income. playing in standard also means you won't sell rares a lot, since the market is saturated from all the previous leagues + hc deaths. You will mainly make currency from 6s, raw drops and alteration shards from selling the loot. convert those lower currencies to higher ones (chaos, fuses, exalts).

You can be super lucky in t1 maps like I've been in this challenge league or get dry runs in t13 (like I've been last league), don't worry, farm your way and collect the shinies :)

You could have just asked :P

Yeah, I play in standard. Starting from scratch in leagues is kinda scary to me :P

And thanks!

in standard it's generally easier to start because you have a stock of gear, but it's also generally harder to make a bank because of the stocks of gear all around. the available amounts of currency make for very high prices in general for useable stuff, then there's the curse of the legacy items and so on.

why do leagues scare you?

i lov'em because it's a blank sheet, lots of cash to be made from sales you wouldn't dream of selling in standard also there's new and exclusive content to be experienced. ofcourse each to his own likings mate :)

Grats on the fantastic progress you're making towards challenge completion, Chrono!

Out of curiosity, which of the challenges do you think might be potential roadblocks?

Why thank you hank :)

Kill the Avatar of Thunder: at the very moment I just know of one guy doing avatar services, maybe this will pick up in the next few days.

Identifying the 4 Rigvalds: will be costly, would halve my bank atm at the very least.

The div card one is for dedicated ones atm (set of 10), but they'll introduce new ones soon-ish. A guy in HC Tali did it tho already, and then there's Ranggarn from reddit at 32/32 already :O

Zana 8: just a matter of time and luck. She already has 480k xp out of 1'400k so it depends on my playtime alot. 820 helps heaps there, many guys sharing now from high maps too.

I'll see what's to be done first, I have some low hanging fruits to get first (1 recipe, one talis to claim) and then the real work starts :)
