Path Of Exile 3.24: How About This Arc Archmage Hierophant Build In Necropolis League?
Fellow exiles, welcome back! This time, I'm excited to introduce you to another build in the Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis, which is called the Arc Archmage Hierophant. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the game, there's something valuable to discover in this guide. Let's dive in!
How It Works
Today's guide takes the classic build to another level - the ultimate Arc Archmage Hierophant with the Templar class. This build stacks as much mana as possible to take advantage of the Archmage support gem, which grants up to 19% of your mana as extra lightning damage.
The skill of choice is the classic Arc, which transforms many enemies at great clear speed. To make things more interesting, we're using the Kitava's Thirst and an Anathema ring for a total of 6 curses on our enemies.
Pros And Cons
When discussing the pros of this build, let's begin with its exceptional clear speed. Arc effortlessly chains between many enemies, decimating entire packs with just a single cast - no precision aiming required. Furthermore, the boss damage output is truly remarkable. When facing sizable adversaries, unleashing the power of Crackling Lance delivers devastating single-target damage.
Yet, it's crucial to consider the cons too. To begin, it's important to note that this build doesn't come cheap. It requires a significant investment of Divine Orbs to optimize its performance. Additionally, ensuring that every piece of equipment provides extra mana can complicate the gearing process, adding an extra layer of challenge.
Budget Of This Build
When discussing the budget, as previously noted, this build certainly doesn't come cheap. It necessitates a minimum investment of 10 Divine Orbs to ensure its functionality. There are only 2 mandatory unique items required for this Arc Archmage Hierophant build.
Firstly, there's the Kitava's Thirst helmet, which holds paramount importance. This helmet triggers socketed gems when you expend a minimum of 100 mana in a single cast, automatically cursing our enemies. Secondly, we have the Anathema ring, which aligns our curse limit with our maximum power charges.
Performance Ratings
Clear Speed: When it comes to assessing the clear speed of this build, I'd award it a perfect score of 10 out of 10. The pace at which it operates is simply remarkable. With the Arc skill at its disposal, this build effortlessly dispatches large packs of monsters with unparalleled efficiency.
You'll find yourself effortlessly traversing maps at breakneck speed, swiftly eliminating any obstacle that crosses your path, all without putting undue strain on your GPU.
Boss Damage: When evaluating the boss damage capabilities of this build, it undeniably earns a perfect score of 10 out of 10. The sheer potency of its offensive capabilities is truly outstanding.
Take, for instance, the Crackling Lance skill, which stands out as a testament to its formidable strength. When facing formidable adversaries, this skill shines brightly, effortlessly dismantling even the most imposing bosses.
Survivability: In terms of survivability, I would rate it at 9 out of 10. Not only do you have a big pool of life and energy shield, but also 50% of the damage is taken from mana before life. And, as you know, we have a lot of mana in this build. We also hit enemies so many times per second that the instant leech causes your life to be full almost 100% of the time.
That wraps it up for today! How do you feel about this Arc Archmage Hierophant in the Path Of Exile 3.24? Wishing you an incredible day and remember to keep building!

Path Of Exile 3.26 Kingsmar ...
In POE 3.25, Kingsmarch was added to the game as a region of Settlers of Kalguur league, and players need to build this town. With the update of multiple versions, Kingsmarch finally has a new look and has become one of the core gameplays of the game’s endgame. Players can recruit new workers, mine ore, trade with other players, and other activities in Kingsmarch area. You are like in a simulation business game. You have to make this place prosperous and provide food for your hired workers. Workers In 3.26, players no longer need to collect resources to build this town, but you can still hire workers to collect items for you. Each worker’s work requires a certain amount of time. Skilled workers take less time and require higher wages. Workers will also work while you are offline, and you can receive rewards when you login. When you have not logged in for too long, your workers will stop working. You can recruit workers to work for you, but you must provide food and wages for each worker. Recruiting workers requires gold, which is a special currency that can be dropped a lot after you kill monsters, so you don’t need to buy POE currency to exchange them. In the option of recruiting workers, if you are not satisfied with the attributes of the workers, you can use 2000 gold coins to reroll. Using 24,000 gold coins to reroll can ensure that the level of the refreshed workers is not less than level 3 (The highest level of workers is level 5). Mining And Farming You can send your workers to develop veins and get ores. These veins often appear in various regions of the world. When you defeat the monsters, you can mark the veins and let the workers come to mine the required ores. The number of ores in each area is limited. After the workers have mined a certain type of ore, they will automatically mine other mineable ores in this area. The ores that can be mined are: Crimson Iron Orichalcum Petrified Amber Bismuth Verisium After you get the ore, you also need to smelt your ore into metal ingots before you can trade with other regions. Similar to mining, you can let farmers grow the following crops here. The level of farmers is related to the yield: Wheat Corn Pumpkin Orgourd Blue Zanthimum Transportation After you get resources such as ores and crops, you can transport them to other ports for resources, but this process also has certain risks. When you transport too many resources, there may be accidents that will cause you to lose profits, but you can hire crew members to reduce this probability. Random events you will encounter at the following times: Lose 100% of the reward: The fleet is hijacked by pirates and all goods are lost. Lose 100% of the reward: The fleet is surrounded by green light and all rewards disappear. Lose 75% of the reward: The king imposes a three-quarters tax on outbound goods. Lose 50% of the reward: The customs official asks you for half of the goods. Lose 50% of the reward: Being attacked by Karui commandos, half of the goods are lost. Lose 25% of your rewards: A quarter of your cargo was misplaced at the port. Lose 100% of your crop yield: Your fleet was stranded and your crew ate your crops. Lose 50% of your crop yield: A disease destroyed half of your crops. The more crew you have, the lower your risk is, and even if the risk is zero, you may still lose crew members. Port Rewards Each port requires different cargo and can also exchange for different rewards. Ores can exchange for weapons, armor, unique items and other rewards. Crops can bring you rare currencies such as Divine Orb and Vaal Orb. Crimson Iron: Random Armor, Str Armor, Energy Shield, Dex Armor Orichalcum: Random Weapons, Str Weapons, Int Weapons, Dex Weapons Petrified Amber: Rings, Belts, Amulets, Jewellery with quality Bismuth: Quality skill gems, Vaal skill gems, Quality support gems, Exceptional support gems, Flasks, Ward Armor, Jewels Verisium: Scarabs, Stacked Decks, Unique Items, Splinters, Catalysts, Oils,Fossils, Heist Contracts, Blueprints, Rogue’s Marker Wheat: Armorer’s Scrap, Blacksmith’s Whetstone, Orb of Augmentation, Orb of Transmutation, Orb of Alteration Corn: Orb of Alchemy, Orb of Scouring, Orb of Chance, Chaos Orb, Vaal Orb Pumpkin: Chromatic Orb, Jeweller’s Orb, Orb of Fusing, Glassblower’s Bauble, Gemcutter’s Prism Orgourd: Cartographer’s Chisel, Orb of Horizons, Orb of Unmaking, Instilling Orb, Enkindling Orb Blue Zanthimum: Blessed Orb, Regal Orb, Orb of Annulment, Exalted Orb, Divine Orb When you successfully deliver goods to Karui ports, you can get Tattoos as a reward. After successfully delivering to Kalguuran ports, you can get Runegrafts as a reward. Atlas Runners You can set up 10 maps and send three Atlas Runners to complete them. If they return successfully, you can get all the rewards. If the map is too difficult, you may lose them. The more difficult the map is, the more experienced Atlas Runners are needed. Even if they all die, you can still claim some rewards. Recombination In Kingsmarch, you can find Rog, The Disenchanter, who can disassemble your normal quality items into Thaumaturgic Dust, which can be used to reassemble the affixes of the items. Still with Rog, you only need to use gold and Thaumaturgic Dust to reassemble two items, trying to move the affix you want to one item. In addition, player currency trading and the black market have been reopened in Kingsmarch. As long as you have enough time, you can almost farm all the items you want here.Jun-15-2025

Path Of Exile 3.24: This Me ...
I've been experimenting with various farming strategies in Path Of Exile 3.24 new league, and today, I stumbled upon a new method that works very well. This strategy is truly remarkable, and everything you obtain will be in the form of Chaos Orbs. While the initial investment is quite high, once you make your first set of investments, the profits keep rolling in. How It Works This farm works by forcing strongboxes to spawn a specific monster from the Allflames, and this monster is from the Allflame Ember of Manifested Wealth. If you don’t know, this Allflame monster pack drops a lot of Chaos Orbs and even Exalted Orbs frequently, and this is what we’re going to be farming. We’ll be combining so many strongboxes and the chance to open strongboxes again, as the Allflame monsters do appear in strongboxes. They aren’t always guaranteed to be in them, but the chance of them being there is very high, and this is actually how we keep our profits up. Farming Investments Now, for the investments, the primary item to acquire is the Allflame Ember of Manifested Wealth. This component is undoubtedly pivotal, and I suggest focusing on the Yellow Maps for optimal results. Monster levels ranging from 68 to 78 tend to be more affordable. However, if you seek one with a level of 79 or higher, expect a significantly higher price, potentially around 100K. Therefore, prioritize those under Level 78, as they are more budget-friendly. When it comes to scarabs, prioritize acquiring the Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments, which provides a 50% chance for the strongboxes in the area to be openable again. Additionally, consider obtaining the Ambush Scarab, which adds 5 extra strongboxes. This investment is crucial for maximizing profits. If you already have 4 slots, consider investing in either the Domination Scarab for additional shrines or the Scarab of Monstrous Lineage, which boosts magic pack size. Both options yield similar results, and while it's uncertain whether they affect outcomes, I prefer prioritizing shrines. The last part of the investment is our Map Device, and we’ll be using the Ambush Map Device for another 5 additional strongboxes. Atlas Tree For our tree, getting more map nodes, trying to get the Monstrous Treasure and Shrine nodes. Then grab Tamper-Proof and Secret Compartment. Once we get that, we also want to grab these Shrine nodes, as well as the Quality for Atlas tree. Lastly, grabbed all the strongbox nodes. It doesn’t really matter which strongboxes we get, we just want any of them. Take additional Shrine nodes, cover to Shrine the last Invasive Adversaries, and then Remarkable Relics. So, I’m just trying to get as many shrines, boxes, and effects of stuff on our maps. Avoid Rituals Avoid engaging in rituals for farming, as killing monsters in rituals, especially the manifested wealth, doesn't yield any drops despite their appearance. Additionally, refrain from using more than one Allflame, particularly if it drops currency like Tainted Currency or Abyss Jewels. Using multiple Allflames can decrease the appearance rate of Manifested Wealth monsters in the strongboxes. Harvest Here's the breakdown: we can obtain 1,446 Chaos Orbs, 54 Exalted Orbs, and 44 Vaal Orbs. Now, let's delve into 25 maps using the Manifested Wealth strategy. You can acquire them at 175 chaos per set. Considering the price change, I gained 94 chaos per map, totaling 7,000 chaos across 25 maps, with a profit of 2,300. The investment will hover around 4,000 to 5,000. This strategy is remarkably simple. You don't need an overpowering character. You're essentially dispatching harmless creatures with minimal risk to your character.Apr-12-2024

Path Of Exile 3.24: This Ha ...
In Path of Exile 3.24, Harbinger in SSF proves useful for several reasons, particularly for farming currency. It adds numerous monsters to the maps, and acquiring scarabs is relatively straightforward. This strategy is not overly complex to execute, and the investment required is minimal and can effectively complement other strategies. Strategy Overview The idea of this strategy is incredibly straightforward: we aim to maximize the number of Harbingers in the map, buff them as much as possible. Despite its simplicity, it's a fun strategy. Harbingers can also spawn as a map modifier, resulting in some completely ludicrous maps filled with blue Harbingers. They drop many hard-to-get currency orbs like Exalted Orbs, Orb of Annulment, Ancient Orbs, and even Fracturing Orbs, which are incredibly rare. You can use all the Ancient Orbs on unique belts in SSF. On average, you can take 3 to 4 Ancient Orbs per map, plus an Orb of Annulment and maybe an Exalted Orb. To give you an idea of the loot that is in Tier 16 maps, with perhaps on average 80% map quantity, but that map quantity doesn't actually affect the results. You would maybe think that Harbingers drop the Beachhead map or the Landing Divination Card, which can be traded for the Beachhead. Harbinger Scarabs For scarabs, I'm typically using 2 regular Harbinger Scarabs for 6 additional Harbingers, then one Harbinger Scarab of Discernment to increase their currency to be rare and drop one type. This means you either get a ton of the currency that you want or you don't get anything at all. But it saves you a lot of clicking. The fourth scarab is the Harbinger Scarab of Regency, giving us a 50% chance for a Harbinger boss. The total chance of this is now 75% thanks to the passive tree. Sometimes, you will have enough of the Harbinger Scarab of Warhoards, which doubles the currency that you're getting, which is obviously amazing. Atlas Tree Setup Let's talk about the atlas passive tree. First, we definitely choose the Harbinger nodes. First Wave gives a 25% chance for a more powerful Harbinger. Unspeakable Offensive makes them spawn their monsters much faster and speeds up the mechanic. Then you can take Rogues, as they drop tons of loot, and combined with the increased item quantity from Unrelenting Torment. I’m skipping shrines entirely on this strategy. The Harbinger isn’t all that difficult. It’s a lot easier than Essence monsters or Rogues, so we can do without the shrines and spend those points elsewhere. I recommend running the Searing Exarch influence as it provides a steady stream of currency and scarabs, which is useful in SSF. Running the league nodes for more corpses, more Allflame, and more buffs and debuffs on the monster packs. These synergize once more because the extra quantity and rarity modifiers are amazing in your maps. But also, we're playing the Necropolis League, and that means you should engage with the league mechanic. To sustain, scarabs are crucial, so you can prioritize acquiring most scarab nodes on the Atlas tree. However, opt out of certain nodes that enhance map modifier effects. While these nodes don't boost map rewards, they make maps overly challenging and less enjoyable, which is unnecessary. Final Thought I found a few pros of this strategy. The scarabs are fairly easy to find, and it works with a lot of combinations of Harbinger scarabs, so you can run this with whatever you want. You’re not really bound to one specific scarab. You can mix and match, and everything will basically just work. The loot is very consistent, and it’s also loot that you otherwise cannot get, like Fracturing Orbs. However, there are also some cons too. The first is that the maps take quite a long time to complete with the Harbinger. You still have to wait quite a while before all the monsters show up. The second con is that the mechanics don't really interact with many other strategies, as the monsters despawn on death, and seemingly they're not affected at all by the Allflames. And the Harbinger currency isn't affected by item quantity or item rarity, so you have very few ways to juice the rewards.Apr-18-2024

Unraveling the PoE 3.22 Bla ...
The resurgence of the Blast from the Past event in Path of Exile's 3.22 league brings back the iconic Kalandra mechanics, promising a whirlwind of unique challenges and rewards. In this comprehensive guide, we dissect the Tablet Mechanic and delve into the exclusive Kalandra Jewelry, providing a roadmap for maximizing your rewards in the second November event. Understanding Kalandra Mechanics from the 3.19 Patch Kalandra, once released in a lackluster state, underwent significant changes in the 3.19 patch. Initial issues, such as loot distribution favoring magic monsters and player dissatisfaction, led to a shaky start. However, the league-specific nodes in the Lake of Kalandra hold valuable rewards, especially when battling map bosses and encountering rare drops. A learning curve in understanding loot placements and a shift from magic to rare monsters contributed to the league's eventual profitability. 1. Tablet Mechanic in PoE Kalandra League The Tablet Mechanic is a core element of the Kalandra League, and understanding its nuances is crucial for successful runs. Each zone in the game houses a Kalandra interactable tablet, with different layouts offering varying challenges and rewards. Here's a quick overview: How To Avoid A Bad Tablet? Identifying a bad tablet is key to optimizing your runs. Characteristics of a bad tablet include a Reflection of Tyranny node with four notches, indicating a higher chance of undesirable rewards. Ideal tablets should follow a 'snake' layout, avoiding branching paths. How To Get A Good Tablet? Creating an effective tablet involves focusing on more notches for rarer loot types and positioning the tablet further from the entrance for higher quantity of loot. Rare tiles, like Reflection of Paradise and Reflection of Kalandra, offer exceptional rewards. Aiming for a 5x5 layout enhances the overall path length and loot quality. Tablet Optimization - Special Tiles and 'Swap' Strategy Unlocking special abilities like Reroll, Skip, and Exile significantly improves tablet options. Banning specific nodes, especially those associated with defeating packs of infested creatures, enhances the chance of encountering rarer tiles. Swap a Reflection with another Reflection can be strategically used to 'waste' a move. Tablet Building For Kalandra League Start Initiating your Kalandra journey requires unlocking all three Exiles/Bans for a significant multiplier in good options. Prioritize bans by completing tiles at difficulty 8 and above, particularly focusing on Legion and Beyond tiles. Reroll and skip unlocks are beneficial but less essential. Additional Tips: - Utilize the option to convert a water tile into an empty tile strategically. - Early in rolling, if a 4x5 tablet appears, consider using the rare "Destroy This Tablet" option for a chance at a superior 5x5 tablet. 2. Kalandra Exclusive Jewellery (Reflecting Mists) The Kalandra-exclusive jewelry and Reflecting Mists stand as major rewards in the league. Understanding the RNG Reflecting Mist and the highly coveted Ethereal Reflecting Mist is crucial for maximizing benefits. RNG Reflecting Mist While the RNG Reflecting Mist tends to be lackluster in most cases, occasionally, it yields exceptional items. The rarity of this mist makes it akin to opening stacked decks, with the potential for god-tier items. Noteworthy is the possibility of obtaining Kalandra-exclusive bases through the RNG Reflecting Mist. Ethereal Reflecting Mist - The Jackpot The Ethereal Reflecting Mist offers unparalleled crafting potential by allowing players to choose the item for reflection. This enables the creation of items with more synergistic modifiers, and it can even 'flip' certain modifiers into negative values. While extremely rare, its impact on crafting is comparable to Hinekora's Lock. Valuable Insight: - The magnitude of the Ethereal Reflecting Mist scales with the difficulty of the tile, making higher difficulty tiles immensely valuable. 3. Best Strategy For Blast From the Past Kalandra (Trade Only) For those engaging in trade, a proven strategy from the 3.19 Kalandra league remains effective for the Blast From the Past event: - Purchase tiles, especially those lacking premium options, for a specific tile type. - Run the entire tablet, with POE currency drops covering costs. - RNG Reflecting Mists obtained during these runs can yield drops equivalent to 1+ mirror shard in value. Kalandra Tip: - Fast mapping synergizes well with Kalandra, maximizing in-map Kalandra events per hour. In conclusion, navigating the Blast from the Past event's Kalandra mechanics demands a blend of strategic tablet building, insightful use of Reflecting Mists, and a touch of trade expertise. Whether you're a veteran of the Kalandra League or stepping into its challenges for the first time, this guide equips you with the knowledge needed to triumph in the 3.22 league.Nov-21-2023
