Map drops need to be increased/changed
" Same here. They dont remember when we literally exalted maps to sustain. Always bought if traded. 78s white were an ex. I'd just add 3:1 recipe to your post. I don't think anyone does that anymore either with alc and go luxury last few leagues. Git R Dun!

" It's not https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3080811 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3080819 You dont get to be 100 without 1500 T16s No doubt maps were nerfed a tad and you gotta do more than alc and go tho.

" The system was not designed to be a 'loop' at the top. I would love for the game to back to scarcity and value at the top, but you're right that now that conquerors and maven 10 boss fights are locked up there we can't go anywhere else but easy map sustain. Grimro has a video on YT if anyone is struggling. As long as you do your stuff right you can't possibly do anything but swim in maps. |

For me personally, getting the atlas bonus quant as high as possible by doing harvest reroll maps, zana missions, unique maps etc is helping with sustaining t14-16s. Its def a lot worse than last league, but its possible. I actually started using sextants a lot earlier than I usually do and using cartography scarabs when I can. What bothered me was the stealth nerf without mentioning it anywhere in the manifesto/patch notes.

" Is it this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHe-uqBZxVM I looked at it, and most of it sounds like something that can be easily done if you're willing to buy maps or currency to juice them in order to sustain. This video does nothing to explain how to sustain maps in an Atlas you're still building watchstones on, which is the problem I'm at right now. I only have 16 watchstones and I'm either stuck at T12 or I'm outright losing maps, and Grimro's strategy is going to mean I'll lose currency on top of this trying to get maps. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. |

Poor SSF player can't even reach t16 without trading... oh wait..

" Thanks Ciel. Maybe I was just extraordinarily lucky last league, I had hundreds of Tier 14, 15s, and 16s, and I am far from a power gamer. Will try the same strat this league and see what happens. |

" Did you hear and comprehend the part about map equity? That was something I didn't know about. Getting T1 then T4 then T9 maps off your atlas so they can't drop is enormous. It's on par with completion, map quant, and doing your side content. Those 4 things you can't go wrong. I always take my time to 'build my base' pretty much not even touching yellow maps till I've completed the white ones and same for red. I'm in no rush to get where I'm going and as a result not only do I have a nice 'base' of atlas completion, I get nice little stockpiles of master missions and map currency for when I'm ready to push into the next tier. |

" Don't bother with that rationale, some will just say to you... "You're no lifing PoE that's why you can progress in SSF"... LOL "A game IS supposed to waste your time but it's not supposed to make you FEEL like you're wasting your time:
It's supposed to make you WANT to waste your time." |
