Path Of Exile 3.25: How To Mine And Utilize Verisium Ores In Settlers Of Kalguur? - Strategies & Preparations

After nearly ten months of waiting, Path of Exile will finally launch a new league on June 13 this year! According to the regular schedule, 3.26 league should have been launched around October last year, but the development of POE 2 obviously delayed this process. In fact, until the first trailer of 3.26 Secrets of the Atlas, there were still opinions in the game community that the launch of the new league might be postponed indefinitely, but fortunately this situation is finally coming to an end. However, it is precisely because 3.26 came too late that you may have almost forgotten how to utilize those unique mechanics in the first game. Based on this, we will utilize heist as an example to introduce you to how to earn POE currency as soon as possible in the 3.26 patch. What Is Heist? First of all, you need to review how heist works - after all, there seems to be no similar gameplay in POE 2. The heist in POE is in Rogue Harbor. To enter here, you need to collect Rogue’s Marker by completing daily tasks, and then click it in your backpack to travel to Rogue Harbor. Each heist requires you to sign a contract and cooperate with up to one rogue, who must have reached a certain level of his job. Find Adiyah, the Wayfinder in Rogue Harbor and deliver the heist contract and other required materials to her to reach to the official heist location. The rogues that can be recruited and their jobs are: Karst, the Lockpick: Lock-picking, Perception, Agility Tibbs, the Giant: Brute force, Demolition Isla, the Engineer: Engineering, Trap disarmament Tullina, the Catburglar: Agility, Lock picking, Trap disarmament Niles, the Interrogator: Counter-thaumaturgy, Deception Nenet, the Scout: Perception, Counter-thaumaturgy Vinderi, the Dismantler: Demolition, Trap disarmament, Engineering Gianna, the Master of Disguise: Deception, Counter-thaumaturgy, Perception Huck, the Soldier: Lock-picking, Brute force, Demolition, Engineering After a successful heist, in addition to the regular monetary rewards, you may get most types of game items as dropped loot. If you defeat a specific boss in the process, you may also get rare gear or jewels. 3.26 Best Heist Plan For The League Although the heist offers a wide variety of rewards, it is still mainly based on currency. Therefore, if you want to utilize this mechanism to accumulate currency as soon as possible after the launch of Secrets of the Atlas, it is important to first choose the right rogue. Based on the different jobs, each rogue has different perks and functions. To accumulate enough currency in the early stages of the league, it is recommended that you choose Vinderi, Gianna, and Tullina. The bonuses they bring are as follows: Vinderi: Increases the chance of Heist chests copying their contents by 6-14%, and increases alert level by 14-30% Gianna: Reduces Blueprint revealing consumption by 10-30%, discovers a blueprint reveal upon completion of a heist contract mission Tullina: Increases your chance of finding additional heist targets in secret reward rooms by 10-26%, and reduces alert level by 6-14% These three rogues can maximize the blueprints and reveal you get, and then you can view as many unlockable rooms as possible by uploading blueprints to ensure that the rooms that can bring you more rewards are unlocked first. Or after 3.26 is launched, you can farm specific rooms according to your character’s situation. Generally speaking, it is best to prioritize currency and divination cards in the early stages of the league, and go straight to the ultimate reward room in the later stages. Specific Operation Process After understanding the basic information, the first step is to determine the rogue you want to recruit, as well as the plan and blueprint. Then enter Rogue Harbor to start grabbing heists and enter the rooms you find to search for rewards according to the contracts you need to execute. When you find and decide to take the currency treasure chest and divination card treasure chest, don’t rush, pay attention to the escape route in the room (indicated by a small ladder), you need to open it before reaching the last room to leave in time. If you are running grand heists, you will come to Curio Display after reaching the end, which has many additional high-value rewards, including POE Divine Orbs, one of the available currencies. It is worth noting that if your character dies in battle during the heist, you will lose all the contraband you picked up, so be sure to treat every battle carefully. When you and your rogue complete all the tasks, you can return to Rogue Harbor through the escape route to settle the loot. In addition, when 3.26 league is launched, if you enter the middle and late stages and think that your character can stably complete each heist, you can find Whakano, the Barber, one of the support NPCs, before starting the heist and exchange more demolition contracts with him. This type of contract has a high probability of giving you an extra random chest when the loot is settled, and opening the chest will get at least one Chaos Orb. So you can definitely accumulate extra currency in the early stages of 3.26 league in this way. To be honest, this classic mechanism combines resource farming, fun and strategy very well, which is probably why it has been preserved since it was launched. Maybe POE 2 should also try to develop a similar mechanism. The above is our plan for effective heist in the upcoming POE 3.26. I hope it will be helpful to you!

In many guides, it has been said that Lacerate Gladiator build is one of the strongest and most reliable league starters in Path of Exile 3.25. Like Boneshatter Juggernaut, this melee build was already strong enough before the league rework. Lacerate retains the essence of its previous powerful skills, but also increases all of its damage numbers. So, in POE 3.25, it is more powerful than ever before. So how do you make this powerful build when you first try this new league? And how do you upgrade it? This guide will give you the answers. As you explore Path of Exile 3.25, if you have any questions or comments, you are welcome to join the Discord community and discuss game strategies with other players. In addition, iGMeet Discord will occasionally bring you more benefits in this community, so remember to pay attention! Skill Rotation And Tips Compared to many builds that can cause slam, Lacerate Gladiator is very simple and has a low APM value. You don’t have to use multiple buttons in combat, but you still use defense and movement utilities. The fundamental skill you can use in combat is Lacerate, a medium-range melee attack damage skill that allows you to cause bleeds. Besides this, you can use Pride and Vulnerability to weaken the monster’s ability. You can also choose Shield Charge, Molten Shell, Flame Dash, Blood Rage and Enduring Cry for defense and movement. The thing you need to pay attention to here is that you need to always pay attention to the Vulnerability debuff on the enemy. This magic spell may make the cursed enemy take more physical damage and have a bleeding effect when attacked. But you don’t have to worry about Pride, but you can link it with Eternal Blessing. This way, you can offset your retention cost and increase your effectiveness. As long as you can maintain this debuff and keep it practical when necessary, you can use Lacerate without worrying about it. Pros And Cons Although Lacerate Gladiator build is one of the simplest map builds in Path of Exile 3.25, it also has a little disadvantage. The biggest advantage of this build compared to other DoT (Damage over Time) builds is that there is no damage to ramp-up time. This means that you can deal maximum damage to an enemy once you apply a layer of bleeding to them. Compared to DoT builds that require you to wait for several seconds to reach maximum DPS, Lacerate Gladiator build will make you safer and easier to use. But the biggest disadvantage of this build is also accompanied by this advantage - it is too simple. This build does not have a lot of skill options, and in some cases, it can make you feel a little boring and not have enough tools, especially if you plan to use it in the endgame. If you are the kind of player who likes to use endgame gear, you may find this build to be overwhelming because Lacerate Gladiator build only requires three Uniques items. But it also saves you a lot of POE Currency, allowing you to focus more on building upgrades and weapon enhancements. Skills To Use In Early And Mid-game If you want to get from the early game to the mid-game as quickly as possible in this build, you can use Sunder skill. Sunder will help you advance quickly until you can start running maps on your own. In addition, you will need to use Leap Slam, War Banner, and Blood And Sand Stance to get the utility and extra damage of this build. When you can start running maps on your own, you can switch out Sunder for Lacerate of Haemorrhage. This variant of Lacerate gives you higher bleeding damage, and you can use Earthquake, Shield Charge, Bladestorm, and Vulnerability to create a better combat situation. You are ready for the endgame skill setup. Gem Setup In this build, you can use gems to maximize the bleeding damage you deal in combat. Without this setup, your character will be very powerful, but with gems, you will be invincible. Here are the best gems and some effects to choose for Lacerate of Haemorrhage skill. Volatility Supported skills have increased maximum attack damage and decreased minimum attack damage. Awakened Brutality Supported skills have increased physical damage, no chaos damage, no elemental damage, and a chance to shatter enemies on hit. Awakened Melee Physical Damage Supported skills have increased melee physical damage, increased bleeding and poison damage from melee attacks, 10% attack reduced speed, and a chance to intimidate on hit. Awakened Multistrike Supported skills repeat 6 (3+3) times, increased attack speed, reduced attack damage by 20%, and increased damage bonus for the first 3 repeats. Awakened Deadly Disease Supported skills have increased disease damage and reduced damage on hit. If you combine these gems with Lacerate of Haemorrhage, it may reduce some attributes, but it will greatly increase your ailment damage! You can try it in the game. Uniques And Affixes Lacerate Gladiator build doesn’t really need too many unique items to support its late game. But just in case, and to make it fully adaptable to the endgame event of Path of Exile 3.25, you can use the following 3 Uniques: Koam’s Sign x2 Ryslatha’s Coil If you try to get the belt directly with POE Currency, it will probably be very expensive because it is the best slot in almost all disease builds. That’s all about the preparations and precautions you need to make for Lacerate Gladiator build in Path Of Exile 3.25. I hope you can have fun playing in the new league!

In the dynamic world of Path of Exile, a fusion of tankiness and magic find attributes in a single build is a rare sight. Players often opt for a multitude of defensive layers or prioritize magic find, seldom balancing the two. However, a unique build has emerged, promising both resilience and efficient magic find capabilities, and we're here to guide you through this innovative playstyle. High Movement Speed: The Key to Success The foundation of this build revolves around exceptional movement speed, an invaluable trait in Path of Exile. The current iteration of this build boasts an astonishing 250% movement speed. This feat is achieved through a series of strategic choices. In the 3.22 update, the introduction of tattoos added a new dimension to character customization. This build harnesses the power of 20 tattoos to significantly boost movement speed, giving you an edge in your adventures. Choosing the Pathfinder Ascendancy Selecting the right Ascendancy class is crucial, and for this build, the Pathfinder is the ideal choice. The Pathfinder's inherent ability to enhance the effectiveness of Quicksilver Flasks significantly impacts movement speed. With this ascendancy, you gain an impressive 111% movement speed. Furthermore, the Phasing on kill mechanic provides an additional 10% movement speed when the Pathfinder is active. For even more speed, the Haste Aura adds a whopping 21% movement speed to your character. The combination of these effects results in an overall movement speed increase of over 250%, making your character a blur of motion on the battlefield. Quantity & Rarity: The Magic Find Foundation A successful magic find build relies on quantity and rarity bonuses. This build incorporates two high-quality unique rings, Ventor's Gamble, known for their maximum item quantity and rarity attributes. These rings are paired with health bonuses to ensure your character's survivability. An indispensable flask for magic find enthusiasts, the Divination Distillate, remains active consistently thanks to the Pathfinder's unique capabilities. The only drawback is the need to manually activate the flask every 5 seconds. However, the build still manages to achieve a remarkable 58% item quantity and 135% item rarity, which significantly enhances your loot drops. Clear Skill for Swift Annihilation In Path of Exile, speed and quantity are futile without adequate damage output. The build's damage capabilities are maximized through gear and gem enhancements. It all begins with a Divine Orb, a small yet significant investment that yields great results. The build is designed around two active skill gems, each serving a specific purpose. Caustic Arrow is the go-to skill for clearing maps. When fired with a bow, it leaves a trail of Caustic Ground where the projectile lands, dealing additional Chaos damage over time. To further enhance this skill's efficiency, the Arrow Nova Support gem is added. This combination significantly boosts your clearing speed, ensuring swift annihilation of foes. Single Target Domination For single target damage, Toxic Rain takes center stage. When unleashed, it spawns Spore Pods at the projectile's point of impact. Over time, these pods deal chaos damage in an area, potentially overlapping for increased damage output. Optimizing single target damage is possible with a slightly higher budget, which allows you to hit a specific threshold of increased area of effect. This optimization ensures maximum pod overlap. The choice of Bow Mastery on the passive tree contributes to this aspect, combined with a glove craft at the Crafting Bench to provide an additional 39% area effect increase. Additionally, the use of Withering Step in the build is essential. Upgrading to the Anomalous version of Withering Step adds two extra Withers and increases quality with Enhance Support. Activating this skill creates nine layers of Wither overlays with a single button press. This not only boosts your damage but also applies more stacks through Toxic Rain. Building a Solid Defense The build is not solely focused on damage output; it also prioritizes defense. A substantial portion of physical damage, about 88%, is converted into elemental damage. Lightning Coil alone accounts for 50% of this conversion, with Taste of Hate's maximum scroll rate contributing an additional 24% as flask effect nodes are allocated in the skill tree. A 14% increase in conversion rates is achieved through helmet upgrades. This extensive conversion of damage into elemental damage permits the use of elemental damage reduction flasks. These flasks substantially reduce damage when transitioning from physical to elemental damage. Additionally, the Grace Aura is employed to bolster evasion, providing protection against monster attacks and projectiles. The build's utilization of Ancestral Vision grants cold and freeze immunity and includes a modifier that reduces the chance of experiencing elemental ailments by 50%. An additional 60% ailment avoidance adds further protection against shocks and ignites during map exploration. Key Items and Equipment Selection Certain essential items are pivotal for this build's success: 1. Bow: Aim for a bow with +1 to socketed bow gems and increased Chaos Damage over Time. Craft it with +2 to socketed support gems and Chaos Damage over Time. 2. Quiver: A quiver should increase normal damage over time and provide bonuses to bow and life damage. Consider a Penetrating Arrow Quiver for enhanced damage output. 3. Amulet: Aim for an amulet that boosts all Chaos skill gems with +1 to Damage over Time. 4. Unique Items: The build utilizes Lightning Coil for significant physical damage reduction. Ventor's Gamble rings are essential due to their high quantity and item rarity attributes. Mastering the Pathfinder Ascendancy The Pathfinder Ascendancy is the optimal choice for this build. In the initial labyrinth, Nature 's Reprisal is selected to empower Toxic Rain. This choice substantially changes the skill's early performance, enhancing its effectiveness. The second labyrinth involves the selection of Nature's Adrenaline, which assists in generating massive Flask Charges. Finally, in the third labyrinth, Nature's Boon is chosen. This ensures that the Magic Find Flask remains active at all times when the character is at full life, thanks to the Master Surgeon mechanic. In conclusion, this Magic Find Pathfinder build provides a comprehensive guide to creating a powerful and cost-effective character. With this build, players can tackle high-level maps and challenging content while optimizing their Magic Find capabilities. If you're seeking a versatile and efficient Magic Find build, this guide equips you with the knowledge and strategies needed to excel in Path of Exile's ever-evolving world.
