if you have decent gear to sell (I can see from your currency tab that you aren't very ex rich) the best way to make use of a HH is probably KB wander.

second place budget option is a dualwielding sunderer

yeah i think i'll work on kitting out a wander and then save the rest towards a HH, since as it turns out, no zana nemesis has caused a slight increase in HH prices from harbinger (also i guess the league is still p young), and i don't have much else of value

should i splurge on a good crafted wand or just look for some good jewels and use a piscators?

good jewels and a piscators.

e: you can't get phys to ele conversion except on an amulet if you use piscators though. I'm like 90% sure you still use the Esh shield.

you know what I don't feel comfortable making gear recommendations in 3.1 I would check a guide before you take my advice lol

I like how they have gone back and improved on old parts of the game, latest example being the atlas and shaper rework, I hope by next league they rework the masters and hideouts, room for more varieties of hideouts based on the new tilesets like snow, desert, oriath or more variations of existing hideouts.

The other thing I'd like to see them do is improving the masters, have every master besides zana join a union and all gain experience at once.

Iirc, all the uniques are already mirrors of the original item, and you can't mirror a mirrored item.

A somewhat known piece of lore that is the reasoning behind you not being able to mirror uniques. I'm not sure it's official, though, can't really find the source.

you can't divine mirrored items

you can divine uniques

that doesn't even make sense, they're two different flags on the item

Well yeah, I never said it made sense. I wasn't the one who invented the theory/lore/story, I just answered your question.

When people bring these questions up in reddit apparently they speculate that the uniques were mirrored using a different mirror, people go wild with lore theories.

You wanna fill it up, then do whatever until you get more open slots then fill them up again. You're basically fishing for valuable prophecies to seal and sell.

It was the original justification for why there are a billion copies of "unique" items. Can't remember if it was official or not. Just one of those scraps you pick up along the way that sticks.

Fill your prophecies whenever you can, but the exception is that when you get part of a chain you should go and complete it before spending any more coins.

Are the mirrors that we use to mirror items mirrored mirrors mirrored by the original mirror in to a non-magical mirror? is that why they are lesser mirrors?

Clearly you need a mirror of uber Kalandra to get the real mirror experience.

Cameria's Maul is something like an alc and has double the dps of your axe. Otherwise look for some rings with 90+ total elemental resist and a little bit of life, they're usually a chaos or less. Sell your excess currency and you probably have more than just 1c, tho.

what did you end up doing because they spiked by 25 chaos a bit after this post.

still have them (can we hit 80?)

after posting that i decided i would probably just grind the chaos, then hit a horror and delirium on one remnant so it was pretty easy

also i socketed the belly in about 20 jewelers, 5 linked it with 1 fuse said "eh gently caress it lets go" in gchat and then 6 linked it in like 10 and everyone told me to die and it was fun

The lore reason is that all uniques are copies of the originals, made by using Kalandra's Mirror, before it was broken into shards which you find as Mirrors of Kalandra, which only retain a mere fraction of it's original power. Her original Mirror was capable of perfectly copying anything with no limitations. Some rear end in a top hat uses it to outfit an entire army, the copies of uniques we find ingame are the remnants of this.

After Cameria, upgrade to a Callinellus Malleus (the crabhammer). Also dirt cheap, I think I have one in my stash.

Don't use Innsbury Edge as an offhand stat stick, it offers nothing. I'd recommend a Tempestuous Steel (1 chaos) or a Princess (1 alch) if you need damage, or a Prismatic Eclipse (1 chaos) for attack speed.

Created a scion so I had access to the jewel slots. Loaded up the unique belt with the dual sockets.
Oh man mirage archer is really fun when you have so many flat damage jewels.

Can I convert this scion into a endgame archer or should I just switch to the frostbolt build I was thinking
