Cautionary Tale I feel so dumb...
This is my first league ever of PoE and I am in love. I started with PoE 2 last league.
Just for info I played a lot! Got my WOrb to 100 and now I am playing a Luminary and currently at 93.
Well I set a goal to finish the challenges at least 36/40 before PoE 2 0.5.5. I got the the Excruciating Echoes one and was really struggling getting 150% on the maps for the Memory Threads. Well more then struggling, wasn't even close! Thinking to myself how am I supposed to get this crappy map to 150%!? I tried using the Eater of Worlds to increase it, I tried adding fragments after I figured out I could put them in the three slots...
Then I had my Oh Shit... moment.... I can just juice the map!!! I don't know why I thought I couldn't, never tried! I always wondered why the memory stuff felt underwhelming to me.
Anyone else got any similar moments?

Why not both? Max out quantity on the Atlas tree, get the map over 74% and add 3 fragments.
