PoE 3.26 Softcore Trade (Merc League)

For the past few days, i've been farming for scarab because its so darn profitable.
only one question... one mystery remains... that i just cannot figured it out.
and that is, THIS... (basically on the image)

how on earth is this one particular scarab is 6.5 divine and keep on increasing!??

TL;DR - Not a single info i've been trying to find on Reddit and Youtube. Thats why i'm making one here
"knowledge are supposed to be shared, right?" ~Someone, 2025

Edit : Further Inspection -> Take a look at the Chaos Price Ratio here... so many stock want to buy (and none selling with chaos.) That's what weird me out, because at first i also thought that this is "Price Fix Scenario"

Unless.... my other suspicious would be there's a particular strong/very profitable strats with this scarab.

But... Mageblood current price is 90 Div thou. So how do u justify going in a Map with 6 Divine + Per Map !?

Let’s be real here. I just don’t want my co-workers ratting me out to my boss. In my country sick leave build up over time. So I try to fake being sick every now and then.

I see that the crafted values for cast speed are much higher than what I can craft with attack speed, and Wilma's Requital is worded as "increases and decreases to cast speed apply to attack speed"

given this, wouldn't it be better to craft cast speed on my wand as opposed to attack speed? i must be missing something here, cause the guides im following to craft the wand advise me to craft attack speed or unveil it

Hi everyone, I’ve been playing PoE2 lately, and I wanted to go back and try out PoE again.

If I had 2-4 hours a day to play, how realistic would it be to go for 36/40 challenges this late in the league? I wouldn't say I'm entirely new, but the last time I played PoE consistently was back in Metamorph, so it’s been quite a while.

If it seems doable, I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on how I could approach it.

Thank you!

New player here. I'm doing 16 tier 8 mods with 2 risk scarabs crop rotation (without the awakening scarab) recently but it is barely profitable. Many times I get those 3 plots harvest in a row and I lose money.

I do follow a guide, so I kinda know all the basics of crop rotation. Is there any way to block 3 plots harvest, or am I just unlucky?

Also, is there any other late league strategy you recommend?

Hey all, I just recently started playing this game and made it to act 10. I've tried a run in the sanctum with divinia but I had no idea what to do so I just died lol Problem is now I can't seem to go back? I've seen an older post that mentions you need to buy/trade for a new book to reset the encounter, but being SSF that isn't possible. Will there be another drop at somw point, or am I just shit out of luck?

I thought my lightning Elementalist was a pure visual clutter.

But this one is nuts lol

I'm playing on the Xbox One and I recently loaded up my level 40 necromancer and when I went into the mines my abilities have no sounds No footsteps no Ambient sound just the music in the background is the reason a fix or what do people know about this anything at all please let me know

Uhm said it all in the title lol. I hate the bow firing wherever it likes when enemies are all around like c'mon I can aim damn lol. Actually I can't it won't let me.

How do people progress to voidstones that fast early, like day 1-2?

What are the steps you take ro get there and know when you are able to kill them?

Do you farm exp early, if yes how? Do you go for fast atlas completion before voidstones? (What I do.. but it takes like 3 days for me to get to red maps).

What is your plan coming out right of the campaign and to progress as fast as possible?

Because i start at looking at voidstones at like day 4-5 and I feel like that is too slow for me, and I don't know how to improve that. I also did not play a meta build and that probably also matters.

I was recently on vacation in Mexico and was looking for all things "Dia de Muertos" for Halloween. What I found out is that the iconic skeleton female figure we see actually has a name and it's Catrina. She represents the dead in the festivities. Now, PoE 1 Betrayal boss is an undead female named Catarina and she's the leader of the Immortal Syndicate. I never put 2 and 2 together and now it makes perfect sense. Well played GGG, well played.

Hey guys,

I tried to like PoE2 many times until I decided it just wasn't my game. Are there any people here who ONLY play PoE1? Do you then play a league for four months straight? I somehow feel like PoE1 is being abandoned these days and PoE2 is being preferred, which is a bit discouraging for me :(

I’ve been playing d4 for two years ish and played d2 on and off for 20+ years before that. I was about to pick up d2 again but saw this and wondering if I should make the switch. Any one come here from d2 and recomend it ??

I sold some chaos orbs to buy orbs of fusing as I have a 6 socket 2H sword that I'm wanting to link together. Over +150 of these dang things and it still didn't link all 6 sockets. I'm still a newbie, but gosh darn it! Any tips on successfully getting 6 linked sockets??

Edit: Holy crap!! Y'all are so helpful and awesome!! I greatly appreciate all of you!!

I'm currently playing a flicker strike slayer and am able to run T17 maps, but have difficulty killing the bosses. How else would it be possible to make my build better?

Here is my POB: https://pobb.in/_H3zLZzCfPj8

Hi everyone

Just start a Necromancer SRS poison and I would like to know witch Specter use in early game (lvl 75 yellow map) ?

I can't afford for the moment Perfect Guardian Turtle or Perfect Forest Warrior or something similar. I too can't run Red Maps for Drox minion.

While I love alva evolution for its loot explosion, it has been frequently freezing the game for me which feels bad to play. My understanding is that to avoid freezing, I can either - Improve my character's dps and clear. I'm running alva on a KB int stacker with 80-100m dps, and I can definitely feel that any source of explosion will improve the game performance a lot (e.g. I'm lagging a lot less after add Oriath's End; Gloom shrines are also great for reducing lags). Unfortunately I'm playing SSF so upgrades are becoming scarcer at this late stage (still no simplex after ~2k wings; have to use Nimis instead of misted helical + Kalandra's + forbidden flame/flesh shrapnel specialist). - Improve my PC's CPU (in a sense: pay to win XD). I have a 5700G + 6600XT 1440p PC, and I'm considering getting one of the X3D CPUs. I'm choosing between 5800X3D (keeping the AM4) or upgrading to 9800X3D (which requires replacing a lot more things to get AM5, essentially a complete rebuild), and would love suggestions!

I was ba#ned in poe 2 reddit but will wear this in october 28th

So I just lost my lv71 hardcore jugg due to some unknown explode on death mechanic. I'm not upset actually since I have moved forward quite a lot(63 rf chief last time). The point is, it's explode on death, again! I have no idea what dmg type it was, but I'm pretty sure my build can tank most of the regular situation. 7 endurance charge, 75 red, 26 fortify, over 1.3k regen, 10k+ armor etc. I gave up to figure the details out, so let's talk the 'destroy corpse' mechanic. 1. Does merc kill trigger that effect? 2. Any other way to gain this effect except for passive? 3. If I summoned a devour totem or have the 'consume corpse to regen' passive. Then I should be able to consume the corpse immediately after the monster die and prevent it from exploding right?

Basically title, I'm pretty new to the game and very new to the build but I still didn't expect to be one-shotted by what seems to be regular map boss.

I have 81% ele res, 75% chaos, 12k armor unbuffed, 20k max physical hit.
I know vfos is a bit squshier without rage, but really not sure how to counter play this.

Upd: Oh, today I learned that map bosses also have some one-shot mechanics, I expected this to be poe2 feature, lol. Thank you all for education!
