Explanation of some changes in 0.9.13h

As much as the recipe needed changing.

Hilbert, as usual, nailed the problem with it.

Hopefully at some point after release you will be able to increase your payment methods.
Being limited to a Credit card or paypal really limits some of us, so I wont
be getting a kiwi.

Anyway, the whole My Games/Path of Exile thing is stupid. Now i can't save screenshots, because my OS partition doesn't have the room. I have all my games installed on my D drive, i don't want shit saving to my C drive, ever.

Bit late in the thread here, but why, if you don't want anything saving to your C drive, do you still have your My Documents on your C drive? Surely you just move that to somewhere on your D drive and save all the problems you are complaining about.

From XP onwards (and possibly before cannot remember at this moment) all versions of windows give you the option to change the default location of your My Documents folder, as well as the other MY xyz folders.

Assume it's harder to get alchemy orbs(and regals which won't be used in HC at last) then you won't be able to progress on maps with rare rolls anymore. It's already frustrating if you reach level 73 and only have got level 60 maps but if you can't increase the chance for map drops because alchemy orbs are too rare. It will only add frustation.

I wouldn't mind much if chance orbs had a higher chance to generate rare maps or vendors would sell them.


Let's say it's some receipe like 2-3 rare items 3 same mods.
This heavily decreases the chance of getting an alchemy orb.

You all seem to be forgetting that we are going from:

8 Acts + maps

TO

9 Acts + Maps

It might be safe to assume that with the added 9th Act there will be higher level mobs and thus the maps will start off higher. I would expect that A9 will cap around 65 so Maps may start there, and then there will be the inclusion of A4 into the mix in a couple months.

We needed the Alchs to keep the game challenging and our characters growing, but adding in the new content will help that... It still may not be possible to reach L100 without access to A4.

With A3 and a base cap of 65, you should be able to work/grind to 80. With A4 that should jump to 90-95 and a tough grind to 100.

Whoa, is that a bomb you just dropped or am I just uninformed, or both ;-).

Thx for fixing the alch recipe.
I got 118 alchs after the last race (and around 50 in the race - played/collected with a friend though)

How expensive would they be to buy with Scrolls of Wisdom? I know I have at least 3 full piles of those filling the little cracks in my legacy stash. ;)

Seems like a good patch. I'm not sure if Chris is still looking at the thread but I am very interested to hear an official word on whether skill gem quest rewards are going to stay the same in OB as they are now. I am guessing that Act3 quests won't be quite the same order as going back to Act1 is now & I am wondering if this will mean more/less or different skill gems as rewards.

I believe the gem quest rewards have been reworked in 0.10.0. They're probably different.

HELLO. That's interesting news.

My guess, 2 fusings.
