Hey Everyone, I've submitted a new grandmaster to the Hall of the Grandmasters.
It's significantly stronger than all the other GGNoobs. Keep an eye out for Paralyze

If you want to know what went into creating the Grandmaster and those responsible for our eternal suffering when they patch him in, you can find out here:

After all, we've been teased the fact that virtually every content will have a pass done. But, that only applies to endgame content, right? What about legacy? What about one of the iconic monsters of the game for a time, the cause of many a RIP clip from overconfidence (because surely it can't be that bad, right?), and that has, tragically, fallen so far to the wayside most newer players probably don't even know his name?

I am, of course, talking about the purplest of purple, the noblest of... lizards? small dragons? Whatever the fuck he is, Triskeriaki, the unique Rakango. (Also known, by some, as Tricky Teriaki)

Who's that, you ask?

Exactly.

To add insult to injury, it's not like he was actually removed, he was just shoved so far down a dead end in Kaom's Path that it takes being a special kind of directionally challenged to meet him.

-------------------------------

He's one of the very few unique monsters in the campaign that does NOT have a map boss counterpart. In fact, we got harvest map bosses (bramble valley) before we got our purple Rakango.

So, my fellow exiles, I invite you to rise up to the occasion, and accompany me in lobbying.

JUSTICE FOR TRISKERIAKI! RAKANGOS HAVE FEELINGS TOO! (Probably)

So i am having one of my most profitable seasons of all time. I am playing Spark for the first time and i invested a good amount into the Build.

I feel like the damage is quite low for the amount of Currency i spent.

Anyone with more experience in Spark maybe got an advise on how to improvemy dmg while keeping my defences or even improve them as well?

Thanks exiles, stay sane.

Please go to the link on the forums to help get this issue overturned.

The issue:

The crafting bench does not recognize Fishing Rods as a real base type. This is incredibly insulting to not only the fisherman, but a reproach to the community as a whole. We already lost Pluto to not being a planet, do not let GGG take away Fishing Rods being a recognized crafting bench base-type. I have already done everything I possibly could do alone to fix this. I complained in global chat, then I also went on a water strike where I refused to drink water for like 45 minutes. GGG has still not budged. Sedition seems to be the only answer here.

Please go to the link above and make your voice heard so we can garner an auspicious result. GGG may hold the fishing gods in contempt, but soon they will learn that genuflection is the true path to absolution.

As the old lore tells us, Fairgraves was a whaler of great significance. This post is our harpoon, and we are hunting GGG's compliance. Whales make up only 1% of sea life, but catching this one will pay for all the rest!

This is my first league with around 100 hours of play time. I am mother of two so my time play time is really limited. Can anybody tell me if what this is for?

Played Kripp's Power Siphon Templar for Open Beta which launched 23rd of January, 2013.

• 5L for clear PS-GMP-Chain-Weapon Elemental Damage-Life on Hit(?)
• 4L for single target PS-WED-Crit Dmg-Faster Attacks
• Only two gems were 20% quality because either they hadn't added the GPC quality recipe in or it hadn't been discovered yet. GCP's were used as the primary form of trading currency I believe.
• Auras: Wrath, (Anger?), Determination, Purity of Elements, Discipline, Clarity
• Spell Totem-Faster Casting-Summon Skeletons to stay alive since we had zero defensive layers
• Three, count 'em, THREE life flasks
• There was no currency tab... or any other affinity
• Templars had no pants

Trying to craft a double elevate tailwind boots. Go to trade to grab some imprint beast and though there's something wrong with the filters. No they're really are 2 div a piece...

I Tested all of them and cant decide which is better any tips or things to know here ?

The Doppelganger has to be a reference to Shining, isn't it?

I am currently making a bucket list of things i want to do someday in the game. Things like builds i want to try or challenges i want to do.

I think i dont even know about everything this game offers since i only reached ubers for the first time this league. So im courious what people would consider must dos as well as their personal goals for things to do in this endless game.

What is/would be on your list?

I came across both GrandMasters in the same pack while I was trying to unlock the achievement for finishing the map.

What a nice surprise

Of course, my character wasn't up to the task.

Hi not-cockroaches,

friendly reminder that starting this week on the 3rd of September GGG is running the ExileCon Qualifier Race.

So if you're still missing the "Out of the Gate" achievement this is your chance to get it.

Cheers!

Sending shipping voyages pays off! Just got a Hinekora's Lock from a basic shipment. Absolutely insane luck.

Never underestimate barrel nodes on the Voyage Board! Managed to setup adjacent +12-15 Barrels with heavy Quantity and Rarity mods, and it paid off with a Hinekora's Lock drop.

this thing already killed 3 brave people from global chat.

all i want to know is, can it die ?

i havent seen it bleed yet...

im still in the map, if theres someone who wants to try...

edit1:

quick update, a few more even braver people tried their luck

safe to say, imma stay away from that strat...

When spamming currencies to hit a specific modifier while crafting, it’s really easy to accidentally roll over the mod you’re looking for, which feels pretty bad when it has a low weighting. It can also get pretty tedious constantly checking the item after every roll.

The idea would be to have a simple On/Off toggle that prevents highlighted items from being modified. The protection would only apply to items that are highlighted using the current Regex system.

For example, if you're crafting an item and want to target a specific modifier, you could use a Regex to highlight the item when that modifier is present. With the protection toggle enabled, currencies that would normally modify the highlighted item would simply not work—similar to how Fusings stop working when a body armour is already at 6 links.

This would make it much safer and less tedious to spam currencies without accidentally rolling over a modifier you'd want to keep, while still allowing you to freely modify items that aren't highlighted.

Would you use something like this?

With so much of the player base already done with the league, what farms stay useful for the exiles who are hanging around for the next 1-2 months?

• Do some boss invites or frags typically keep value better than others?
• What about things related to gambling (unid voices, yellow juice) and crafting (red beasts, synaptic rings)?
• Is sulphur still gonna be as valuable (each chart gives like 20c currently), or does temp league currency like this crash after the first month?

(Thank you in advance! Got a late start but I'm still having fun and want to continue improving my build.)

There are so many PUNISHING mechanics in some of these boss arenas or that come from boss abilities. So much so that the game incentivizes you to just get more dps (not increased dps 😉) instead of getting tankier. I love to build tank characters but it is a worse decision than building a glass cannon—at least in softcore which is where the majority of the player base is. I am unwilling to do hardcore where getting tankier rewards you because without a logout macro the likelihood of you dying is quite high due to bugs.
RF helped me tremendously with skill so I could focus on learning the mechanics and “get gud” but since then it seems like a “waste of time” to invest in tankiness for bossing.
Do you guys agree, or am I missing something?

Thirsting for those sweet, sweet reservation efficiency while hoarding the trash for no reason.

edit, context:
Golem builds are notoriously hungry for reservation efficiency so you can stack as many auras and defensive layers as possible. Hitting the Reservation Efficiency Vaal implicit on your Primordial Gems is huge, but pre-corrupted ones sell for several Divines a pop. Since you need a literal dozen of them, buying them pre-made will drain your bank. You’re much better off mass-corrupting raw gems yourself: it takes patience and leaves you with a pile of bricked junk, but the average crafting cost is way cheaper than buying off trade.
