Path Of Exile 3.25: What To Do With Lacerate Gladiator In Settlers Of Kalguur? - Tips & Preparation

In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, players have gained a new way to obtain items and currency in the game easily, which is through shipping. Shipping allows you to exchange the resources you collect for currency and items. You just need to load the resources and crew onto the ship and then wait for the ship to return in real time with a full load of rewards in tow. However, every shipping comes with a certain risk, and if you don’t want to lose your crew and rewards, you must learn to manage these risks. This guide will break down the shipping mechanics in Settlers of Kalguur for you step by step, so that you don’t panic in the game. Shipments When you start to form your own settlement, you will have access to a dock with your own ships and crew. Each ship you send out is loaded with a cargo, a bunch of resources you want to trade. After the ship successfully returns, each of these resources will be exchanged for common rewards in the game, such as POE Currency, Uniques, Scarabs, etc. The type of reward you receive depends on the type of resources you ship and the port you’re shipping to. When you upgrade a port, you gain access to up to three ships that can make multiple voyages at once to increase your returns. This system is a great way to earn some passive rewards without having to farm, but rewards players who take the time to build up the town of Kingsmarch. Resources As part of Settlers of Kalguur, the townsfolk of Kingsmarch will generate trade resources, which you can then ship to other ports. Shipment Value The amount and quality of the rewards you receive from your shipments depends on Shipment Value of all of them. So, the rarer the resource, the better the reward. The value of each shipment depends not only on each resource but also on the destination. So be sure to keep these in mind when sending out your shipments. Dust While the resources you ship affect the value of a ship’s cargo, adding a resource called Thaumaturgic Dust will also multiply the value of that cargo, and the more dust you add to that cargo, the higher the multiplier. You can think of it as a buff item. The stats that are currently known are as follows. The value is multiplied by 1.5 when Dust is 10. When Dust is 55, the value is multiplied by 2. When Dust is 520, the value is multiplied by 2.5. When Dust is 8150, the value is multiplied by 3. Rewards Based On Traded Resources By trading specific resources, you will receive specific rewards. Each resource is associated with an item type, as follows: Crimson Iron - Armor Orichalcum - Weapons Petrified Amber - Jewlery Bismuth - Skill Gems Food - Currency Crew To start a shipment, you need to equip your ship with a Crew. When you deliver a batch of resources to a different port, your Crew will reduce the risk meter by a certain amount based on its trait level. Higher-level workers will allow you to deliver high-value cargo at a time with little or even zero risk. Crew that dies because of risk may be permanently killed, which is why you must plan carefully when choosing which crew to send. Risks In the game, as in real life, no voyage is smooth shipping, as you may encounter bad weather, pirates, or deep-sea creatures at sea. As the value of your cargo increases, the risk meter for that cargo will fill up. This meter represents the percentage chance that something will go wrong with your cargo, and the higher the percentage, the more serious the consequences if something goes wrong. Some risks can kill your crew or lose their cargo outright, so make sure to keep the risk low while balancing the ship’s rewards. Pirates If your ship is commandeered by a pirate captain, then your ship and crew will be taken hostage. When this happens, you have three options. You can try to save your crew by fighting the captain. If you defeat them, they will drop their boss loot when they rescue your crew from the pirates. Note that you only have one chance to defeat the captain, so if you die, the cargo is lost forever. Second, you can pay a ransom to the bandit. If you pay the ransom, you get your cargo and crew back, but you don’t get any loot from fighting the boss. If you can’t pay the ransom or fight the boss, you can always abandon your crew and cut your losses there. This can be a bit ruthless, but you must remember that protecting yourself is the most important thing. Likewise, this can also happen within the town of Kingsmarch, as the likelihood of being attacked by pirates increases as the town grows. Just like the pirates encountered at the cargo transport, they will also take your town workers hostage, with the same options listed above. Ports Each shipment is sent to a specific port for trading. Each port has different types of rewards that they send back every time you ship a shipment. As your port level in Kingsmarch increases, you will gain access to various ports where you can trade. Distance Each port has a distance from Kingsmarch, which determines how long it will take to ship to that port. As the shipping distance increases, the longer you will have to wait in real time before you can receive your reward. Port Quotas While you can trade different resources with ports, remember that in order to claim your reward, you must provide a certain amount of resources to the port to reach its quota before you can receive your reward. In particular, some Refined resources, such as Bars, will take up 5 times the original resource required. So if your quota for Hematite is 500, 50 Hematite Ingots will fill up your quota faster than 500 Ore. You can complete your quota with multiple shipments, but only shipments that complete your quota will earn you the extra rewards. Make sure to meet your quota at each port to fully optimize the rewards you receive when your shipment returns.

Dear Exiles, today I will bring you one of the most satisfying tank builds I have ever played in POE 3.24, which is Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction Pathfinder. Its damage, tankiness, and recovery capabilities are all staggering. In this guide, you’ll learn how builds work, and how to upgrade and craft them. Without further ado, let’s get started! Main Skill Our skill of choice is Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction. It targets a corpse and causes it to explode, which deals a percentage of the corpse’s health as fire damage. This will then continue to target other corpses in the area until either it runs out of corpses or 8 corpses are destroyed. Therefore, we will use very high life specters in our Desecrate corpse pool. Specters In the new Tier 17 map, we get new spectrums with a very high life percentage. Now Disruptor I’m using has 440% more life, Molten Soul has 420% more life, and Senior Scientist has 420% more life. You will use these 3 specters, but by default you can only have 2. So we will use Voideye unique ring and socket a level 20 Raise Specter gem. To target corpses, you need to hold “A” on your keyboard. This will bring up the corpse life bar and search for the specters I mentioned before, and use Raise Specter until you have 3. You can then remove the gems as the game will remember the specters you saved in the pool. That’s why we need high-life corpses, because we add poison to the mix. The higher the life of specters, the higher the base damage. It’s that simple. How To Convert Fire Damage? By default, fire damage does not cause poison. But there is a unique glove that allows us to deal poison damage with fire damage, and that’s Volkuur’s Guidance. Sadly, you need to get a corrupted one with Temporal Chains on hit. Otherwise, the build will be very clunky and your damage will be much worse than what you see here. Detonate Dead & Desecrate Although we cannot cast these two spells, Detonate Dead and Desecrate, at the same time, we will use Arcanist Brand and link to Desecrate. This way your Desecrate will be triggered often and you just need to hold Detonate Dead and wait for the boss’s health to disappear. You’ll build up a lot of cast speed because the faster you cast, the more Desecrate you have and the more Detonate Dead you have. This is why we chose Pathfinder, because of its ability to maintain cast speed with Silver Flask. How To Achieve 100% Chance Of Poisoning? Since this is a poison build, we need to achieve a 100% poison chance. First, we did 20% with Herald of Agony, another 20% with the glove itself, 25% from the node on the passive tree, Toxic Strikes, and the rest from the tattoo. With all this, we have a 100% chance of being poisoned. However, our biggest and best multiplier actually comes from the second source. We're going to inflict Wither on the boss, which will increase Chaos damage by 90% by default. In addition, we also get an Ascendancy node, which will increase the Wither effect and give us the opportunity to cause a Wither. Defense On the defensive side, we can convert 100% of physical damage into elemental damage. Of that, 50% comes from using Lightning Coil alone, 27% comes from Taste of Hate, 14% comes from our helmet, and we also use Watcher’s Eye so that 10% of physical damage is treated as lightning damage. Finally, I could use the newest unique belt added to the game, Tides of Time. Thanks to this belt we have 4.2k health regen, so when we take damage we can replenish ourselves immediately. If you don’t have enough POE Currency budget to buy this unique, we can also easily use Petrified Blood, which allows us to restore more than 50% of life without Life Flasks. Clear Setup If all you want is mapping, this build will be a pain to play with. So I need to come up with a suitable solution that’s easy to do but does enough damage to clear. So its clear setup is Cast while Channelling Support, Detonate Dead and Desecrate, and its trigger skill is Cyclone. This setup is very nice and comfortable to run. Not only that, but this build also has enough damage to deal with map bosses and elite monsters. Even the garbage monsters on T17 map are not a problem. You just need to rotate until you complete the map. Items Next, let’s give a brief overview of some items needed for this build. Scepter: Woe Roar Helmet: Oblivion Veil Shield: Spirit Bulwark Body Armor: Lightning Coil Talisman: Sorrow Torc Rings: Maelstrom Spiral & Bramble Circle Boots: Hate Road Belt: Tides of Time Gloves: Volkuur’s Guidance Passive Tree Finally, let’s highlight some things needed to build on a passive tree. We took Pathfinder as Ascendancy and adopted Nature’s Reprisal, a node that was a game changer in the early going. Additionally, we have Nature’s Adrenaline to generate more Flask Charges. And Master Toxicist is a pretty big multiplier for this poison build. Finally, there is Master Surgeon. With this, you can activate your Life Flask even if your life is full. Anyway, that’s the end of this guide. I hope you enjoyed this guide on Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction Pathfinder. See you next time.

Path of Exile 3.22, also known as the Trial of the Ancestors league, has introduced a slew of new build options, and one that's generating significant buzz is Transcendence. Historically, this keystone has been primarily used in conjunction with the Loreweave unique item to mitigate the maximum resistance penalty affecting characters. However, with the inclusion of tattoos in this league, paired with Chieftain's Valako notable or the Melding of the Flesh unique jewel, there's a new way to address these issues. This article dives deep into the Transcendence keystone, its strengths, weaknesses, and how to leverage tattoos for a powerful build. The Transcendence Keystone: Strengths and Weaknesses Transcendence offers a robust defensive advantage but comes with two substantial drawbacks that have limited its usage in the past. First, it causes armor to cease reducing physical damage while applying to elemental damage. Additionally, it imposes a substantial elemental max resistance penalty, making it challenging to overcome these hurdles. Traditional Approach: Loreweave Traditionally, Transcendence was paired with the Loreweave unique item, which has a hard cap on maximum resistance, effectively mitigating the keystone's drawbacks. However, this approach requires dedicating your body armor slot to Loreweave, leaving you vulnerable to physical damage unless you have exceptional gear. Enter Tattoos: A Game-Changer in 3.22 Path of Exile 3.22 introduces tattoos, which bring new opportunities to the table. The Tattoo of the Ngamahu Makanga, for example, grants +1 to maximum fire resistance. There are similar tattoos for cold and lightning resistance. Additionally, the unique jewel Warrior's Tale doubles the effect of all tattoos within a medium radius, significantly enhancing their potency. Chieftain's Advantage Chieftain, in particular, benefits from these tattoos due to its Valako notable. By investing in specific nodes on the skill tree, you can obtain up to +8 maximum fire resistance, not including other potential sources like Purity of Fire and halo effect scaling. This means you can easily equip Transcendence without relying on Loreweave. With Transcendence and Lightning Coil, you can effectively address both elemental and physical damage threats. Expanding Beyond Chieftain: Melding of the Flesh While Chieftain benefits greatly from these changes, other classes can also take advantage of tattoos. Adding the Melding of the Flesh jewel to another class introduces another -4 maximum elemental resistance challenge. However, this is easily manageable through additional tattooing. For instance, the Tattoo of the Arohongui Makanga offers +1 maximum cold resistance. Items like Brine Crown provide three maximum cold resistances, and you can further boost your resistances through your shield slot or items like Aegis Aurora. The passive tree offers numerous options, and placing your Warrior's Tale in a strategic location can further increase your maximum resistance. Closing Thoughts In summary, the Transcendence keystone in Path of Exile 3.22 has been a potent but limited choice due to its significant drawbacks. However, with the introduction of tattoos and unique jewels, these limitations are easier to overcome. This league offers a chance to create exceptionally tanky characters using Transcendence, and it will be fascinating to see how players leverage this setup to tackle challenging content and withstand formidable boss abilities.

Here's a rundown of what's dominating the battlefield: Weapons Hand Cannons continue to be a favorite in the current meta, with the likes of Ace of Spades and Dire Promise standing out due to their high impact and usability at various ranges. Pulse Rifles, specifically Vigilance Wing and Bygones, are also becoming increasingly popular. They're reliable at medium-long range engagements, where they outperform Hand Cannons. In terms of Special Weapons, Shotguns like the Felwinter’s Lie and Astral Horizon are a top choice for aggressive players. Subclasses For Warlocks, Top-tree Dawnblade continues to dominate with its aerial combat superiority. Titans are seeing a surge in the use of Middle-tree Sentinel, courtesy of its versatile utility in both offense and defense. As for Hunters, the Bottom-tree Nightstalker is gaining popularity due to its ability to suppress opponents’ abilities. Winning Strategies Here are some strategies to help you dominate the Crucible: 1. Teamwork: The Crucible is not just about individual skill. Effective communication and teamwork can often overcome superior firepower. Stick together, call out enemy positions, and coordinate your Super abilities for maximum impact. 2. Map Control: Understanding the layout of the maps, including vantage points, choke points, and spawn locations, is crucial. Aim to control areas of the map that give you the advantage, forcing your enemies to fight on your terms. 3. Weapon Pairing: Pair your primary and secondary weapons in a way that covers various ranges. This way, you will be prepared for engagements at any distance. 4. Use Your Vertical Space: Many players forget to look up, giving you a surprising advantage. Warlocks and Hunters can use their aerial abilities to attack from above, often catching enemies off guard. Crucible's dynamic environment promises exciting times ahead, as the meta will surely continue to evolve over time. Always remember that while adhering to the meta can give you an edge, your comfort and proficiency with your chosen weapons and subclasses are what truly drive your success. So, gear up, dive in, and may your Light guide you to victory!
