How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

If anyone wondering if it's worth farming shavronne for her offering card i could prolly answer that with a no, twinned tribunal/scriptorium is better.

But due i ran about 50 of em and ran out, i figured i'll experiment abit.

Made a fast farmer with 48 iiq, would've used higher if i had the gear but i don't.
Each run takes about 1 min to 2 min depending on layout and such.

In this time i got 2 offering cards, i had 3 prior to that.
I did find some other interesting amount of cards, but rather low amount as well.

Here's the cards for 650+ Shavronne runs.


I was about to call it here, but today i found 2 of the taste of hate cards + this beuty:

So now i'm tempted to finish what i started :D

Other not so notable drops: 2 ex, 4 divine and alphas howl. Might been some more that i forgot about.

My goal is to make a mana guardian due i've not played that before and i got nearly all the gear except the shavs.

Also so sad, i've ripped all my vaaling attempts this league, ie they go rare or loose quality/level if gems.
So i had high hopes that this was the time, but alas i was wrong.


Edit: This farming also got me from lvl 67 to 83 (It's a lvl 64 zone), i've not killed kitava yet on this char :D. But i did some delving around 80-82 so got abit of free exp there.

After 6 runs, I finally managed to do a deathless Uber Elder! I even made a recording of that ^^

My build is BV chieftain, but a bit more tanky than the traditional mathil one.



In those 6 runs I got 2 watchers eyes. one is decent, the other is really good

cant stop finding these i guess

New armor, not so great but still.


And some other stuff

Update on that relic key which i decided to open. I initally maybe wanted to save it if end up converting a char to non SSF.

Biggest disapointment ever, why is this even a thing.
These are not even league uniques anymore since map boss can drop these.

I would've taken any other league unique except these, i feel so cheated :S
To think i wasted 6.5 ex for this... ugh. Oh well.


On the other hand i love the new fractured wall things, get 1-3 uniques per chest, mostly crap ofc but it's still better than nothing. And a bunch of unique rings to use in loreweave. :)


Much later edit:
RNG redeemed. Just found this armour decided to go for a 5l due i wanted the extra iiq even tho it makes me slower.

Few fuses and 2 divines later:


Tho makes me alot slower vs

But i'll take the extra iir and iiq, worth. :)
Sitting at 136 iir and 62 iiq now.

next up would be an iiq amulet, altho that would slow me down quite abit due i'm using

Definite more progress than any league before.Never done Uber Elder but I will be having a go once I hit 93 (Along with Queen Atziri).I did die once to normal Elder but near the very end where I wasn't expecting
Just done council:

Boots dropped as a white unique(Neversinks) I think though you need a build where you spend PCs(Discharge) and not where you sustain them.

Also fated:

Not sure on how 2 SHR would stack

Not sure to 6L this for more DPS but less defence:


It likely will give siginificant dps since I am using totem support but 4 curse will make things harder specially since recasting totems builds up charges.

Been spending every silver coin hoping for this.

Char: SilenceDoesDelve

Can someone look at my gear and give me some pointers in which direction to head with my gear.. how to get upgrades? This is my first season playing SSF, and my goal is to kill Shaper, which I have never done since he came out.

I feel like my dmg is still good with my gear/build, but I feel really squishy even with charges up, fortify, and flasks. I am at delve 160 or so, and just breaking into red maps. I am having problems sustaining them right now but i'm working on that. I have a large stockpile of yellow but everytime I get a few red maps and run them nothing drops. My atlas bonus is about 110%.

I also haven't been leveling for a bit because now I die enough that with the level of maps i'm running I don't get enough xp to counter-act the deaths.

I feel like my gear flatout doesn't have enough life on it, but i've burned a ton of currency trying to craft better and with very marginal luck. I still do the chaos recipe, to use for zana and to reroll gear.

I've had 4 exalts drop so far on this char and used them all, with shit results on all of them.

Any advice is appreciated

The best advice I can give you in regards to crafting better gear:

Farm magma fissure for pristine and prismatic fossils in depths with moster level 68- (very low costs).

Use poedb to see what you can roll with what fossils on what items (ziggyd has a good video on that).


Also, if your goal is to kill shaper for the first time I highly recommend a BV chieftain build. BV is probably the best boss killer in the game with bad gear, and going chieftain will give alot more sustain and tankiness, so you can get away with more mistakes.
Check my profile for the character "TheRiviaWitcher" to see what you should aim for. You dont need even close to that level of gear to kill shaper. I managed to do a deathless uber elder with that character.
