    I just did a little before/after using a two auras and reduced mana gem. Don't have a character near reduced nodes.

    Hope this helps/is clear for that guy who asked:

    Heh. Speaking of maps:

    There are separate passives for reduced mana for skills and reduced reserve amount so logically I'd say as far as the passives goes you would have to pick the reduced reserve amount for it to affect auras, can't sacrifice a respec point to verify as it stands right now though.

    The gem however works for anything it's linked with, not to be confused with the quality of the gem though that won't affect reserve amount but only spell costs.

    I assumed we were talking about the gem and these type of talents:

    Ah. Yeah, those ones would reduce the mana cost.

    I thought it was weird, me correcting you.

    I think I'm gonna go test if quill rain affects EK projectiles just for fun

    Oh, I know which ones you meant now.




    There are two types of mana reduction talents. The aura ones north of Marauder and the ones just above Blood Magic's highway. Then just the regular skills ones.

    Sigh makes me wanna retire PoE as well It's really really frustrating
    I knew it was going to be a problem so i decided to stop leveling a char as soon as i got to the end of act three merciless, i'll repeatedly kill it so i can farm areas for maps AND loot then finish leveling another to take further into the end game

    Well on a second note my second Lioneye's Glare became 6 socket today so the first step is done

    Second step is to color it
    Third step is to 6L it
    Final step is to divine it

    Good thing I have two of them now ahahaha that I got for free mind you.

    187/1000 fusions to go before I try to do a 6L

    I've owned almost all the unique items in the game but not a Darkscron. Think that would be badass bow for a Ghost Reaver/CI Shadow.

    So I just found out today about the vendor GCP trick (If you sell gems with > a certain total amount of +% quality on them the vendor offers a GCP).

    Along with the Chaos Orb trick (Vendor a full unidentified set of yellow gear for a chaos orb), I'm really digging what GGG is doing with the economy. Every time I think of an issue it seems they've already solved it!

    The GCP trick is definitely worth it when you find yourself with a bunch of low +quality gems that no one uses, but what do you guys think of the chaos orb? Obviously with normal lvl gear it's worth it, but I'm thinking at a certain point 10 rare items will average out to be worth more well more than a chaos.

    I assume there's other stuff like this in the game?

    On a completely unrelated note, I'm confused as to when an orb of scourging would actually be useful. I guess for crafting magic -> normal -> rare, if the magic was poorly rolled and/or you didn't want to waste a regal??

    Got a few more chars into Cruel and I've been building my orb collection ever so slowly. Really enjoying my Ice Shot Ranger and Dual Claw Ele Hit Shadow, especially after I realized one of my claws had ele damage and swapped it out. I've also got 2 cold witches, one is going crit heavy and the other is going for CI so I can get one of those into the upper levels. I also have a really fun DW Frenzy build that uses Blood Magic/Life on Hit/Life Leech/Melee Damage on Full Health with Claws and Vaal. He needs a bit more ES, but is quite fun (also have life on hit on Cleave and Whirling) and is great for face-tanking boss mobs, though I'm sure I'll start hitting some walls in Act 3 Cruel.

    These are not "tricks", per se.

    They are vendor recipes. The design is meant to mimic the Hrodric Cube of Diablo 2, the spiritual and direct inspiration for the game.

    Yeah, gems, weapons, armor and bottles that have a combined quality % > 40% will net you an Orb (Gemcutter, Armorer Scrap, Whetstone, Glassblowers, respectively). If the item is 20% quality, then it nets you an orb, though I'm not sure if the gems do that.

    Another good one for races is an Iron Ring + Skill Gem = Resistance Ring of that color.

    Thinking about making a fire trap focused Shadow after finding The Searing Touch: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...0VuL46yFuWMg==

    Very interesting, never really thought of them as "recipes" which would explain why my google searches didn't return anything!

    Also, i'm always a fan of rampant economic speculation: anyone have any thoughts of how currency values will change post launch? Unless they drop at much higher rates inside of maps or something (i'm not quite at that point), I'd be surprised if Chisel value didn't increase a bit. Also have a gut feeling that Alt orbs will go down in value, as people start piling up enormous amounts of them, so I'm thinking of trying to push mine for Chromatics at 1:1 when the opportunities arise. Then again, maybe I underestimate how often people use them. Also feel like orbs of regret will increase a bit, as lazy but reasonably wealthy players realize their build sucks (maybe only in softcore).

    Open beta is functionally "launch". It's what is called a "soft release". There will just be a day when they take the beta tag off Path of Exile. Till then the game is indefinitely in "open beta/soft release".

    There will likely be no change in currency "post-launch". At least no greater change than when Tuesday gives way to Wednesday.

    A friend of mine just ''chanced'' a Lioneye's LOL'd and I thought I was lucky

  18. #2818
    So it IS possible...

  19. #2819
    Most uniques are chanced, I think.
