I've been using semi-strict and vendoring a poo poo-ton of lovely rares for alts, which I then sell for chaos.

anything below strict is way too loose for endgame. i customize my own version of strict personally. could probably use very strict but i have just been changing this one when i feel like it instead. usually you dont do the chaos recipe but this league its somewhat more viable due to all the rares alva shits out. i still dont bother (and its easily my most wealthy league to date) but if you want to you just collect your rares normally and then run 1 or 2 lower lvl maps to grab a bunch low ilvl chest armor or something to bring the regals back down to chaos.

Is there a go-to stricter filter for endgame? I use the strict filter on never sinks. As for chaos/regal recipe, yea I do it but I purchased a quad tab specifically for it as it got too much of a time sink using multiple tabs to sort it rather than mapping. I've found that I slam far more regals into good rares i.e jewels than before I had a quad tab and it has paid off many times over by not doing the recipe and do more maps but everyone has their own prefered method. Will I do it as much next league? I dunno tbh. Incursions has made life 100 times easier with the big pile of loot.

My filter towards the end of the game (when I'm 90+ and just farming) is basically 'is this a unique or elder/shaper base that will sell for more than 5c? no? gently caress off then'

After watching all those "heres the loot i got from 1 million burial chambers" videos, everyones making their currency off of jewelers and div cards. So i just set my filter to neversink very strict and not care about most of the things that drop even from that.

If you are farming 120-180 chaos an hour, thats 2-3 chaos a minute. So you have around 4-6 seconds to pickup, stash/retrieve and vendor each item to break even ( in terms of incremental time spent) on the chaos recipe. Definitely profitable if you aren't in GG gear. Maybe once you have +250% movement speed, +70% item quantity and 1-shot packs and start to hit 200-300 chaos an hour, it is unprofitable at 2-3 seconds per item, (or at least is breakeven so you avoid it, because doing it requries mental attention).

While you're not wrong, the secret ingredient is: I don't wanna. When I reach a certain level of wealth I just don't care enough to collect pocket change, fully acknowledging I'm leaving money on the floor.

Yeah, I'm sure I could make more chaos per hour by doing the recipe, but I'm playing for fun, I'm not a professional chaos farmer.

You reach the point where you say "well I could marginally increase my chaos/hour by 7% if I focus hard and do the chaos recipe, but I would rather zone out and just click whatever my loot filter highlights and not have to think too hard".

I do the 2c recipe this league - I pick up amulets, rings, and belts as I map. Then when I have a full stash tab I organize one quad with rings and belts across the top two rows and use Alva explosions to get the remaining items over about three maps. I have two loot filters and I load one that shows additional rares for the Alva sections. Doing this I get infusions of 40 or so mixed chaos and regals for 5mins of sorting and selling work between mapping or labs or when multitasking (PoB, eating, whatever) without adding much effort at all to my regular mapping. I think it's pretty loving profitable (30% of my total wealth generation) this league compared to normal, to be honest. And re: dump tabs I felt the same way for ages, but replacing vendoring every map with a dump tab for rares and 6sockets and such is a huge efficiency increase for very little work. I still sort currency, maps, essences, div cards and sellable items each full inv, but the one add of a tab for rares, small uniques, misc items like qual gems or whatever, is a big boon. Let's me map more and Tetris less. I'm not about mega efficiency but anything that means I get to maximize my monster clicking to inventory clicking time is good in my book.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/StashAugustine/characters LyudmilaPavilchenko is gonna be doing guardians/shaper soon. I have probably like 2-300c to spend on her, is there anything she really needs? Point blank quiver is probably the one thing I can reasonably get, a good corrupted frostferno would be good but lol @ the price. Idk if she needs anything else really, I might just buy up sextants/chisels and blow chaos on zana

Look into getting a 6L +3 bow. They can be made yourself for surprisingly cheap. I think I talked about it earlier, but buy a set of Porcupine cards, get out a 6L short bow. Hit it with a +2 elemental gems essence (Shrieking Rage for +2 fire gems is by far the best, but Shrieking Sorrow/Spite are also valid). Ideally you have only 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes. Here is the trick to guarantee a +3 bow: use catarina 8 to craft "cannot roll attack mods" on that bow. Because that meta mod is a suffix, only a prefix is now available. The thing is, out of all the prefixes that can be rolled, all but one are classed as "attack" mods. That one remaining is +1 to all gems, meaning you have a guaranteed +3 gems bow for elemental hit. Afterwards, remove the catarina metamod suffix craft, and put on a tora attack speed roll. This is what I made myself using this strategy. I got pretty lucky there with WED and Accuracy.  Doing so frees you up to get a 6L chin sol. Which is actually more damage than a basic +4 frostferno.

Stuff like this, especially the crafting part is so helpful. Thanks. Not that I'll ever get a master to 8 in a league before burning out, but it's cool to learn about that stuff

And hopefully someone in the guild has the level 8 crafters needed, because I've been put a ton of hours in this league and my highest is only 7.5.

Going to 820 and doing a full rotation of dailies helps but still wish they would overhaul the master system to something more fun.

One of these days I'll actually get a master in-league to 8. Probably next time I get something to 90 and plan on farming a bunch in T14+. Just buy a whole bunch of Gracious Masters and A Master Seeks Help. Unless they don't let those stack anymore.

Awesome! posted:most people probably have 8s now. ive had them for weeks without doing any rotations. Lol at 'most'. I'm a dirty casual, so have no 8's this league at all. Last league I got 3 or 4 to 8, which was the first time I've ever had a level 8 master. The idea of ever seeing a level 8 Zana in my hideout is laughable, even though I continue to do her daily missions for reasons that are unknown even to myself.

Zana might be the easiest master to get to 8 now (if you actually kill shaper and Uber elder and do all her story missions)

After everything else they have updated and changed the master system is now just a glaring sore spot on new leagues.

Oh fantastic, this is why I'm having disconnection issues: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2189099 loving verizon in new england, great. Maybe I'll just not play until flashback. Or next league, if it's not fixed by then.

What's the most efficient way to spread Elder influence to see the memory fragments as fast as possible? Is there a guide for that?

Run shaper maps adjacent to elder influence basically, there's not much else you can do. Helps to be mindful of maps where shaper can come in and cut it off but sometimes you have no recourse
