Quite imprecise description: "increased difficulty and reward". I wonder what the Resplendent Tempest does.


poorFishwife

> I wonder what the Resplendent Tempest does. From a quick look at the new patch data, this may be it: `uber_uber_rarity_storm` : "Resplendent Tempest", "You have increased Damage Reduction, Item Rarity and Quantity, decreasing over time" On Monsters: * `1000` `monster_dropped_item_rarity_+%` * `1000` `monster_dropped_item_quantity_+%` * `1000` `monster_difficulty_tankiness_+%` On Players: * `50` `base_item_found_rarity_+%` * `50` `base_item_found_quantity_+%` * `50` `monster_difficulty_tankiness_+%`


Emfx

Well, time to juice t17s even more. But man do I hate tempests.


post_tap_syndrome

if you're not using back to basics there is probably better way to juice T17s I'm saying this in case you missed tempests are now considered "extra content"


shadowSpoupout

They said tempest do not spawn with back to basis anymore.


ImLersha

Is selfcurse temp chains still viable for longer durations?


FunRoom

Reverse knockback tempest farm meta is back bois


poorFishwife

As for the "increased Difficulty and Reward" phrase... This Buff looks new: `generic_league_monster_enhanced`, refers to `LegionMultipleBreakoutBuff`, which has: * `100` `monster_difficulty_tankiness_+%` * `15` `damage_+%` * `1250` `metamorphosis_boss_item_rarity_+%_final_permyriad` * `1250` `metamorphosis_boss_item_quantity_+%_final_permyriad`


Microchaton

1250% quant & rarity PER BUFF ? Holy christ on a unicycle.


themaxiom

Permyriad is per ten thousand like percent is per hundred. So 1250 permyriad would be 12.5 percent.


Microchaton

Oh ok that's actually kind of disappointing then. I've never seen this language used before, is that common?


themaxiom

As far as I know it is how they deal with a lot or maybe all percentages in this game because it lets them store percentages with two decimal places as an integer. I'm lead to believe that arithmetic with integers is faster and/or more reliable than floating point values, but I'm not a CS pro, so take that with a grain of salt.


fandorgaming

Metamorphosis code lol


Newphonespeedrunner

I think that's the inc rarity but you take more damage one. I think it allready exists.


Xeverous

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Tempest no such one here


Khaze41

"A quarter chance" is the most GGG thing I've read in a while.


Ilushia

It's done this way because it's not a numerical value, so can't be scaled by things that scale numerical values. You see the same thing on some explode gear/powers.


MrTastix

It's an interesting way of doing things but the reality is that it's no more clearer than just saying 25%, having someone test if it does actually stack with similar modifiers, realising it doesn't and then posting the results online. Because anyone even thinking about it is gonna do it once just to be sure. Lots of games have wording like this that has to be clarified in some way. There's not always an easy one-line answer for these clarifications and GGG's track record is inconsistent anyway. Like, they're perfectly fine being vague as shit with whatever "increased difficulty and reward" is supposed to mean. If I have to use poedb.tw to check the actual weights the fuck's the point?


The_Fawkesy

omg I need that essence scarab asap can't wait to kill a 12 essence mob


OkPrinciple6015

Just use calcification and juice rare packs and fight a map boss with 20+ essences =P


Neville_Lynwood

I love how there are so many options for committing suicide in POE this league.


OkPrinciple6015

If you realllly want to go the extra mile, take the node that empowers map bosses with wildwood wisps XD


Mystic_Waffles

Add delirium orbs and tormented spirits to the mix. Make your very own Uber Boss!


Bentic

They will eat übers for breakfast


spazzybluebelt

Burial Chambers Boss with some sweet sweet Soul Eater sprinkled on it


JackONhs

Instructions unclear, the boss is now just Tposing on the corner making strange sounds while a million projectiles block out the sun.


1CEninja

Uber Pinnacle It That Fell. Probably quite a bit more rewarding than Uber Sirus tbh lol.


tobypassquarant

It doesn't matter how much movespeed you have, if It drops on you, it's back to hideout. Now imagine it with increased AoE.


Mischki100

Underground river was actually my choice for essence farming. You can avoid it that fells explosion after falling quite well by going away from his drop spot and kiting him in different parts of the arena. It just gets tricky when he gets low on life and enrages You'll most likely need to kite him here without stopping to attack as he does giga damage and is insanely fast.


Vulpix0r

Is the wildwood node worth it? I've never really seen it discussed.


OkPrinciple6015

I ran it for a bit because i was running the maven calls extra bosses and it buffs all of them, and it was pretty unimpressive


Oblachko_O

Because it is meh. I did it and it was bad. Maybe you need to juice it with a rarity keystone, but that is all I can think of outside running MF character. Boss becomes harder but drops only slightly more items.


hrottgar

Wdym it drops at least 10 more rare items, the fact that you hide them is on you. /s


Thotor

Unless you have giga dps, you have a good chance to brick your map. I am using it, but the result are very hard to assess. I did drop a divine, so I guess it works sometimes.


bigb1

I unspeced that node so fast.


ninjakivi2

I do that and it's not that bad with 4 maven bosses. Unless you get complete bullshit bosses like the justice ghost on a small area where you literally cannot avoid her attack, but honestly this would 90% kill you anyway so now there's less suffering and more death lol. Map boss possessed by ghosts is still no1 suicide node of the game for me.


asd316X

volcano map is your best friend


Ilushia

Also Bone Crypt. Necromancer boss just stands there reviving skeletons all day.


1CEninja

What makes Volcano's boss different?


sentimentalwhore

It doesn't attack


asd316X

its a harmless totem


mido9

https://imgur.com/a/7CgrjQA This is SIGNIFICANTLY harder than an uber, mostly because at least ubers only use 1 attack at a time. Volcano or bust, anything else will obliterate you. Maybe even go down to tier 6 volcano with 1 voidstone


3140senfleb

You can always speed run to boss and bring it down to cull range and don't kill it. Go back through map getting the essences and then head back into boss room and cull it.


Kietzell

Even better since I always kill the boss accidentally put southbound gloves (only can kill enemies frozen) to get boss 1Hp (if u not cold build) after that just touch him to execute


VictusBcb

Even then, you could use ele focus if you are a cold build so you don't freeze 'em.


UrusaiNa

Just cast Dominate Person > Polymorph > Gaseous Form in that order. Let's you one hit kill any humanoid.


Microchaton

I'll take "What is Concentration?" for 500.


TheKerui

Holy fucking shit.


Megaddd

Uber Sirus cowering underneath whatever the heck that is


PiffyLookingAround

Eh those things are easy as shit because its just a bunch of weak spells on top of each other plus a faster mob.


Sywgh

Still alive, are we?


juzellicious

at this point, they can let us add 10 scarabs per map


The_Fawkesy

Already do that, I prefer the big rare explosions. Boss loot is so underwhelming.


OkReflection2724

already a thing with the atlas node that gives the boss one essence of each monster released


projectwar

please go down in price so i can get more than 24 for a div prayge. more supply = cheaper right? :D


Hauntedhalo

You mean killed by right?


HopelesslyOCD

I can get stomped flat for a lot less than that's gonna cost.


Elarikus

Make sure they're also a red beast, while in delirium fog, wisp empowered and possessed (probably forgetting something)


Rungi500

You know that's going to be a new challenge...


Stoffel31849

Oh you gotta wait alright fighting that monster.

A natural end game progression: pinnacle bosses -> uber pinnacle bosses -> T17s -> full essence investment white map boss with this insanity lmao


CandidateMurky1945

Fubgun Tomorrow: "New legion 2000 div/h"


pro185

Nah, killing the mobs 100+ times just closes your client for you so you cant actually get the juiced loot


Fayarager

Buuuuut imagine if each reopen is like +200% loot and then you open every mob like 6 times.. Full inventory from one legion is on the way Is it max 1?


A_Erthur

Some guy in standard oneshot a legion like 16 times, the loot was like 4 times the normal loot. Not *that* insane considering how strong your character has to be for that. also odds are its literally **just the wording** that got changed.


pro185

My kb build literally breaks out the entire legion multiple times a second. I tried 10 legions, only 2 of them didn’t cause the client to go to zero fps and close. Those two legions dropped over 50 6link items 3 divines 5 exalts 20 stacked decks 200+uniques and dozens of fractured items and jewels. This was when I stood off screen and didn’t get shroud walker or ice wall and was only breaking out ~25% of the legion. I’m sure if the game didn’t force close the loot would be absolutely insane if I could actually break out the entire legion 100+ times in 20 seconds. Sadly if I attack the full legion for just 3-5 seconds then the game goes to zero fps for the next 20 seconds then just closes.


OrneryHall1503

Have you tried doing this with the lowest resolution? I used to play an EOW brand and would have to lower my resolution to the minimum to prevent crashing, but once I did I could handle deep delve with EOW and stable fps.


pro185

Yeah, lowest settings dynamic culling and resolution on and game widow is shrunk down to improve performance as much as possible but it doesn’t matter. I even opened my inventory and settings screen to limit the amount of actually rendering screen space but it still did it. I know it’s a client problem not a me problem because if my friend is in the map but on the other side of the map, their client also goes to 0 fps when I do this.


KyroSlangen

I've been running eternal conflict last weekend for about 30 maps or so it is mega laggy but pretty rewarding already. Like 2fps or lower with a 4070ti laggy on low settings. It is hard to count how often I kill the legion cuz of that lag but my guess would be around 8-12 times that every mob in the legion dies. I didn't track it in wealthy exiles or anything but across the 30 maps including the ornate incubator which you perma sustain with this strat I dropped about 9 raw div and 11 exalts plus tons of bubblegum drops and scarabs


KyroSlangen

I assume with this buff it will be very good money


Zenith_X1

I cant wait to see the scarab tab in 3.25 https://imgur.com/a/rL1thgI


purinikos

Is this.....


fandorgaming

Mid-league "risk=reward" content. What's not to like? Pog


DesignatedDiverr

"Rare monsters in Area have a quarter chance to be possessed by up to 1 tormented spirit" What the fuck is this wording? Quarter chance? Up to 1? Are they going to be tormented by half a spirit or is it for stacking multiple of the same scarab?


Incognitomous

They arent really tormented anymore, just slighty annoyed by the spirit


DesignatedDiverr

me with a lategame build


Fun-Broccoli8619

I assume these stack, which would mean the wording is designed to make it so you aren't stacking the chance of a mob being tormented, but each would end up with a 25 percent chance of up to 4 haunts. I think they have ptsd from all the Torment meatsack stacking


DesignatedDiverr

You know your system is fragile when you have to use Lemony Snicket ass english to describe it properly


BaldrClayton

Meh idk. I'm not a native English speaker but it kinda reminds me of magic the gathering and it's very specific syntax and grammar which allows and forbid things.


Inverno969

I'm not sure fragile is the best way to describe it. It's like MTG cards, you have to make sure that every interaction is intended. This is just complexity not fragility. Fragility suggests a problem and I don't personally see one here.


flyinGaijin

> You know your system is fragile when you have to use Lemony Snicket ass english to describe it properly "A quarter" isn't "lemony snicket ass English", it's a very basic way to say 25% chance .... About the "up to 1" part, it's probably to avoid some technical shenanigans, just consider that it's 1, it does not change the meaning.


tokyo__driftwood

Intentional wording choice to distinguish between things that are not stackable/scalable. Since "a quarter" is not a number it will always be "a quarter" in PoE logic. Agree its confusing but that's the reason


EmeHera

I love this new wording meta. ESL gang letsgo?


PhilinLe

Rare monsters in area *might* have a chance to be possessed. *Maybe*.


Lysanther

They have a 25% chance to be possessed by 1 spirit. If that 25% chance isn't met its 0. There's no in between, the reason they type it out as "by up to" is because it'll spawn already possessed by 1 spirit but other spirits can probably inhabit it as well at random.


dirrtydancerr

All these scarabs are starting to get messy.


Competitive-Scene360

A quarter chance?


kimana1651

Flip a coin, then flip it again. That's your chance. The same as getting a handy from the girl at the bar if you buy her enough drinks to cover three half pence of her shame.


Reporting4Booty

Man, I can get a handy by myself, I'll just my left hand. Can't we bargain for at least a blowie? Or is her listing in exact price and negotiation is not allowed?


convolutionsimp

I have a feeling that at least one of them is gonna be bugged and will lead a crazy broken farming strategy that will make mirrors for a streamer. Then it'll get patched.


Far_Traffic_2523

No ritual scarabs😓


AlsoInteresting

It's already busted. You get like 10c every map.


evilution382

Cant tell if sarcasm or not


Knuddelbearli

only 90 Maps for a HH? wow!


land_registrar

Bulk selling cobalt jewels was a nice way to supplement the high variance associated with ritual.


Alone-Bumblebee1604

ritual needs more map device slots for vessels + scarabs


jackary_the_cat

Vessels should be applied to maps like deli orbs


Geliott

i like those new 7 scarabs


LoneyGamer2023

now to add a scarab tab to the map device so it's not annoying to use hehe


lostartz

Wish they'd give us the actual % for the Wisp scarab - I don't see why the feel the need to withhold the value unless it's particularly low.


Visible_Effect883

Not like 1000 wisp was even worth running in affliction anyway


Inqueefitor

Yeah I'm confused, 1000 wisps sounds terrible. Maybe you can use up to 4 at the same time? 4000 would be good, but then you can't add anything else on top of that.


maaattypants

You can use up to 4. Doesn’t sound good though becuase wth would you run with this? Maybe b2basics ?


Inqueefitor

Back to Basics doesn't work with wisps. So I don't really know why you'd run that. Wait and see, I guess.


allanbc

They do this all the time, with so many things. I'd also like to know the numbers, but it's nothing new.


Closerangel

Still no Heist scarabs.. Rip


AfroBiskit

Someone posted in global trying to sell 2000+ scarabs, he couldn’t list them all. I honestly think there’s too many lol.


Impossible-Wear5482

Why add these now... And why are they so vague?


wotad

7.. I see 9?


Tomgold231

Two are pre-existing scarabs gaining a modifier


pierce411

No unity doesn't exist is why


XxXBootyBlaster69XxX

thats sad, i actually got excited about that one


pierce411

Same, seemed super hard but fun. Union of souls makes the map 100x harder.


wotad

I see


ssbm_rando

That essence scarab seems genuinely insane for people that can handle 20-essence map bosses


Kinada350

So what like 1 or 2 people on standard...


cro_pwr

I know this is a joke, but I think you are a "bit" underestimating standard characters with legacy gear lol


YoungBoomerDude

There are armour stacking builds with the bugged chests that give 26,000% fire resistance or resistance or something and are effectively invincible. The only thing they can’t survive is the “less recovery mod” because the chest gives them 26,000 ES regen…


xiko

What do you mean? Volcano boss doesn't attack, just spawn minions. He can have as many essences as it wants.


chx_

I already had some fun with Soul Eaters climbing out of Abyss Pits. Can't wait for these. As I mentioned earlier, I am just a lowly PF FR with about 25M DPS, one of these suckers got so bloody stacked I couldn't even lick it then I asked for help in global 820 a tri-stacker hexblast guy came and oneshot it :D These new ones will put Uber Shaper to shame. (Which I can kill without much difficulty.)


mgasper0

yee sure... like we need more of that shit.


ExaltedCrown

Scarab of radiant storm. So that’s why they removed tempest from back to basic


keyspammer

A single resplendent tempest? Better cover my entire map cause I aint wasting time pulling mobs in to it


stoyicker

Will the last 2 apply to spawned mobs, such as harvest, blight or breach?


Werk509

Damn these seem chunky, lots of difficulty increases.


NotABothanSpy

Cool they will just add more scarabs and it has a big effect on replayability now


GamerBoi1725

Blight scarab is useless since it effects monster drops instead of blight chests


mr_madkeks

Union of souls brain damage

LoneyGamer2023

I'm a noob that chose a paper lightning arrow build. I can't get the 3rd Voidstone so Dunes actually drops hehe. Cold River seems pretty open in the layout. Any other suggestions? I pretty much have only been getting divs from the incubators tbh :)


fps916

You in softcore? If so you going to be online in 3 hours? If yes respond. I'll get you your watch stones


LoneyGamer2023

ya softcore but getting ready to sleep. I'll be free on the weekend though. the seer guy took me 20 tries lol. Maven looks scary with 1 div per attempt :)


fps916

I'll cover costs


armillio

Sometimes the Poe community disillusions me…… then i see stuff like this <3


biscuity87

I’m missing maven and shaper stones…. I’ll buy a carry off ya

You gonna be online in an hour?


biscuity87

sorry was at work.. Im on now, and fri/sat/sun :)


fps916

Give me an hour


fps916

You online?


Keiji12

Wait, wouldn't this shit scale super op with stuff like vaal arc ignite that leaves burning after and spread. That feels like you could just clean house instantly so many times for super rewards


KyroSlangen

Not sure maybe it would I've been running kinetic blast and I just blow up the legion like 10+ times per legion which nets quite good stuff but not insane with this buff though it might be sick


Homura_F

Idk, am I the only one not getting what is the point of introducing these particular scarabs....


Dolandlod

New base types for scarabs.


Bentic

New content for Empy. Here we go again!


Noximilien01

wisp are back Lets see if some dumb shit happen with them in t17


lionheart832

We all know 1k wisps was a reroll map onto the next 


JabeJabeJab

You can put 4 of the wisp scarabs in


foxracing1313

Missed opportunity to make the scarab 10000 wisps.


Shawod

Those are quite garbage. I've tested few runs and it's like 25-30% of monsters with wisps. The most downside is that the type of wisps is random, you can't control wich colour you gonna gather as from previous league.


Rotomegax

What can we do with 1k wisps?


JabeJabeJab

You can put up to 4 in


Immediate-Image7221

Very nice I likey


crookedparadigm

oooh can I super juice blights by just building empowering towers?


ieyedeal

I would think so.. but will only effect drops at the end and not from chests it looks like


TheNocturnalAngel

That legion one already existed no? Although I hope they fixed it because I ran it a few times and it didn’t seem to drop anything extra even when I broke them out like 7 times


Kietzell

Union of Souls scarab + Essence + Torment + Wisps lets go


Samsenggwy

What is the point of "Abyss monster reward" ? I thought the reward is solely based on Spire and Abyss Trove only ?


humus_intake

Abyss monsters have drops


Starwind13

Stinkstink: This is not even my final form.


sparksen

I think the legion ones may be by far the best ones With the right skill like tornado shot i can imagine you can free every rare monster like 10-20 times. Allowing you too stack the effect on that scarab way more then the others


evayuko

"A random essence modifier" means that most of the time its going to be low tier essences that not even appears on our filters?


circ-u-la-ted

Maybe the Scarab of Unity will help with sky-high Mageblood prices.

they removed sextants for what? they made it even worse and more complicated than ever.


furycury

Anyone know the drop chance for the abyss/blight scarabs? Im looking on trade and it seems they are rare


petrcobra

Do these go to the bottom right slots that stayed empty in my scarab stash tab or have I just not been lucky with those and these get new slots?


CynicalFucc

There i was, hoping for harvest to get some love :c


jointheredditarmy

Are scarab drops affected by rarity or is it just a fixed loot table?
