Only connected or completed maps can drop, and they have to adhere to the rule "Magic and rare monsters can drop maps that are +1 tier above and map bosses can drop +2 tiers above the map area the character is in respectively"
As long as it follows the tier rules, then I believe so?Even completed maps that are not in the atlas at the moment can drop?
From what I understand and observed, when a completed map drops, it goes by the Atlas state so if for example your Atlas has Infested Valley as T11 then you can't drop the T14 version (and vice versa), and if you make it disappear from the Atlas entirely, it no longer drops.Even completed maps that are not in the atlas at the moment can drop?
How are prices in standard for good/great gear compared to league? Cheaper due to supply, or more expensive because of inflation? Currency comparison on poe.ninja seems pretty similar outside of some obvious outliers like Mirrors which are much more expensive (presumably because of inflation).Well I blew the majority of my remaining currency on Ancient orbs. Bought 40 and threw them all at some belts with obviously no HH. Ah well, it was a fun league overall but probably done I think. I might still hop over and play more in Standard... it's my chill place once the rush is done.
Hard to say as I haven't really done any comparisons. I usually just play either my already established characters from past leagues or my MF TS build to farm burials. It's weird to admit but I still enjoy running those maps for w/e reason.How are prices in standard for good/great gear compared to league?

More expensive and the sellers aren't arsed to make low tier trades. So you get a ton of AFKs.How are prices in standard for good/great gear compared to league?

Should I run high tier blighted maps or sell them? They go for a lot, so I take it the return is good, but I have failed one before and it was a frustrating experience - I have heard it is best to run them bone stock with only 20% quality so you don't brick one - is that true?
I had no idea you could anoint maps - thank you for the amazing tip!The map anointment, three amber oils, lowers tower costs by 60%. Makes blighted maps much easier.
You're correct.I think you can only anoint blighted maps though. Not regular maps.
I could be totally wrong btw
True dat, I only found out today that there is a gem vendor in act 6 that sells all gems........If you aren't googling/wiki-ing/POEDbing stuff in PoE then you aren't really playing PoE.
Yeah you need to have your stun and freeze immunity mechanics figured out otherwise you gonna get stunned/frozen to death on CI because stun/freeze thresholds are taken from life normally. Also have a way to recover ES, either fast recharge, ES leech, % recovery or using the Focus mod.True dat, I only found out today that there is a gem vendor in act 6 that sells all gems........
edit : I am just about to switch my build over to CI for the first time, is there anything I need to be aware of?, feels quite scary only having 1 life!

Right, but if you're building CI your pre conversion life total isn't going to be all that high to begin with so you're still more vulnerable than the average non-CI character to Freeze/Stun.CI uses your pre-change life value for stun/ailments so if you are not dropping any life affixes/nodes when you switch it should be the same as before.
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the game keeps track of your non-CI life total dynamically or at the very least the act of refunding would trigger a recalculation.So could you cheese it by ploughing passive into life then refunding them after choosing CI?
Hunh so that's why there was an emergency server shutdown.
If you are ranged CI stun isn't that big of a deal. The Brine King Pantheon and the inherit 50% chance to ignore stuns while you have energy shield should be enough.
Chill and freeze would be much more dangerous imo. But you don't need life flasks so you can get some utility flasks with the heat suffix.
Metamorphs, Blights and Legion encounters drop veiled items too.I'm hunting for the trigger sockets when using a skill craft, I assume the only way I can do it is keep grinding Jun missions and hoping for the right veiled weapon to drop?
The double Trio in Vaal Temple is actually really difficult so don't fret dying to that. In the trio boss fight you basically just have to kill the girl as soon as fight starts. Fight normal Atziri to get some practice going against it and get a feel for the trio. You definitely need to sequence the kills, Death Mark is a must. It's not that you arent killing them fast enough, it's that you are killing the wrong dudes first which causes the girl to enrage which is the worst scenario.If you had 10ex to spend, would you...
I have had some really weird luck with T16 maps, some with IIQ 130%+ are easy, breezy, beautiful, but some are fucking impossibly difficult (Vaal Temple, for example, is not possible for me, I get instantly one shot by the spike rain and I can't properly target the right enemy with my idiotic minions...)
- Buy level 21, 23% quality gem for main skill.
OR- Buy a nice piece of gear with lots of HP.
I am not sure if it's my DPS being too low to melt the boss before the spike rain starts is the problem, or if I don't have enough defense/HP to sustain during it. My suspicion is that it's a DPS issue, as I am fine until that rain starts, but god damn it hits like a truck.
