[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I can't stand /global 820, and even /trade 820 is devolving into a regular trade channel now.

I farmed my first Chayula on my own, then got about another 50 splinters and bought the last 50 for a second run. Got a Blessing on the second run which I used on an Eye of Chayula for solid profit, which I then flipped into buying an unid chaos unique.

The buff introduced in 2.5.1 was huge, though. I had maybe 50 splinters total in the first couple weeks, then within two days of that patch I got another 50.

Definitely doable, now.

I'm up to 93 Chayula splinters now as well.

Anyone have any advice on what divination cards are easier to farm / buy for 9/10/11/12? The new card tab really messed up my system for tracking them - I can't sort by how many I have / need. :(

Maintaining T13+ maps:

Any tips for maintaining T13+ maps? Just alch and go with high Atlas bonus or is rerolling for packsize/quantity necessary?

9: Humility (Channel, Waterways, Aqueduct)
10: Prosperity (Shore, zones are too low-level, you'll lose IIQ)
11: Chains that Bind (Crematorium, map or zone)
12: The Lich (Catacombs boss, could do Prison Sawbones as well but again, IIQ penalty)

I SSF'd all the div cards this league.

60% IIQ minimum + 1 pack size mod minimum, and at least 100% Atlas bonus, if you really want to be pushing T14-16 consistently. And you should be throwing a Zana mod on your T15+, maybe even 14s.

If you're fine kinda rollercoasting it a bit and dropping down at the benefit of saving your chaos, feel free to alc and go. You'll eventually get there, but it won't be anywhere near as consistent.

Also, I don't feel chisels are worth buying, but you should definitely use the ones you have T14+. I think vaaling for unid or +map or 8-mod is much more effective.

I meant the part where you need to get Splinters FROM Chayula inside a regular Chayula breach, not just collecting the splinters to make a Breachstone...

But I haven't been playing enough or high enough to even get a Chayula splinter yet, so... when that alleged-botter posted that collecting over 5000 of a splinter was bugging out and turning them into a single Breachstone losing the other 49... I misunderstood the image at first and just thought it seemed normal for the guy to have 2-3k of the other 4 splinters and only 1 Chayula splinter

Just /played in game, and whereas I played 100hrs the first 2 weeks back... I've kind of stalled out the past 2 weeks between the holidays and flu season and only managed another 30hrs or so... hopefully I can remedy that next week now that the vacation time blackout for the holidays is over at work and I have a couple extra days off...

Grats on 40, Serl! I just got my wings and holy shit they are well made. Love how the bony segments don't actually bend and the leather moves independently of them. Running fast makes it stretch out with air pressure. They don't seem to be affected by windy areas like aqueducts, but I haven't been paying attention in all areas. This sure is a treat for people who grew up on the Batman/Gargoyles cartoons' aesthetic and A.C. Clarke's Childhood's End.

@Piros

Wow, I should hope no one actually farmed up 5k of any splinter. Some trader, I assume? I might have done maybe 3-4 each of the ele ones and have 3-4 pops left for each at 6k map tiers complete and I only just broke 100 Chayula. No idea about Uul because I've been buying up a bunch a few times.

I must be lucky with seeing Chayula 3 times before I ran into Uul even once for the splinter gain challenge. 10 splinter kills must account for over 40% of my Chayula splinters.

edit: Oh, and can't forget Demon's Crest on the SNES!

Oh, fighting the boss in a normal Breach, I see.

Yeah, I've ran into him a few times. Same deal though, only once before the patch, the rest after. Lots more common, regardless.

Thanks! And spot on man, very lovely design on the wings. Goes extremely well with the Sanguine Seraph set.

Hey, I'm bit confused about the passive tree, I see that you only took a small amount of nodes around the scion and rest is basically ranger start. But in order to do that you would at least need to do cruel lab, so how does that work then? Do you just connect to the line by profane chemistry and go down and later respec out of it?

Yes, exactly.

Yes, exactly.

Also, Ranger start takes 5 ascendancy points which means Merciless Lab at minimum... altho your first 6 points are better spent on Deadeye and Occultist, so Ranger start should be the last thing you do, to gain 3 skillpoints instead of the 2 you'd gain putting 1 into each ascendancy sub-tree... I do 40 int & dex in normal lab for gem leveling, Deadeye in cruel, occultist in merciless, ranger start in uber
