You still get 2c. Whether you get 1 or 2 is dependent on whether they're ID-ed/un-IDed or 20% quality. Ilvl only determines the type of currency the vendor recipe gives you, not the number.

Well the +2 minion helmet is 70c, that'll come eventually but that's still way off

Cheers, so i'll stick to those for a while then. I actually have three or four recipes ready, only missing rings/amulet -.-

Huh? +2 minion gem helms are effectively free: http://poe.trade/search/zurusitokigaus

...or 1-2c if you want some life and resists on them: http://poe.trade/search/ikihenyararima

Am I missing something?

rings and ammies tend to be the hardest to get a set of. typically what i do is have a tab to dump any jewelry that i collect. alching jewelry boxes can be helpful for this. i also pick up higher tier bases and id, then stash them in a separate tab, and as i fill out sets i vendor them.

He was talking about RaizQT, i'm pretty sure we're talking The Baron there.

The helmets you linked are rather interesting too though, once i'm at a point where i like to be with SRS (5/6link staff +2 fire, castspeed etc), and look more into spectres, it'd be something interesting to look for while farming chaos orbs for The Baron.



I do too, rarely drops though. I'm not high tier enough to get higher tier drops, so that's out of the question for now anyway

Alching jewellery boxes though is a important point, so far i haven't modified any boxes of any sort with anything (except i think i identified once or something). Should really start with that.

Q: What about using Covenant chest for SRS?
A: Has been proven to work, but I'm not as big of a fan. Does let you shield charge too, and use Scourge. Do have to fuse the 6 link, and the accuracy won't be as good as staff, though it may not need it. The added chaos is a bit negligable though certainly there.

Yo, does PoB report poison / bleed damage values accurately atm? I thought the ailments themselves only scaled off base weapon damage + respective element + ailment inc/red more/less + DoT mods etc. PoB looks like its calculating the base dmg using inc/red of the relevant attack and stuff.

The way I thought I understood it is that if you wanted to do a poison-based build right now you're best off basically ignoring +%physical damage on anything that doesn't directly apply to your weapon and then scaling the hell out of the number of applications you can get (GMP, chain etc) because the damage of your dots is ignoring the "less damage with hits" or "less damage with projectiles" aspects of these skills.

Basically I get what poison damage will scale off of after it's applied but I don't get what does/doesn't affect the "Base damage" portion of poison.

Bleed seems effective enough without understanding wtf is happening mechanically, because you can just chuck %physical damage at the problem and everything you scales off physical damage so just go full retard and hit stuff. Poison seems like you either have it as the central damage mechanic of your build (Which seems... bad?) or ignore it completely.

Yeah, I mean this is the real down-side to The Covenant.

I might be dumb, but the two/three link ones are around a couple of orbs at best. Apart from the chromatic orbs, i do have a few to roll around with (around maybe 300 times for links and sockets). Chromatic, admittedly, would be a problem.

It's around 25c with 6 sockets (without links), i find that relatively reasonable. At least compared to 440c, already fell off the chair after seeing Kaoms chest.

edit: in fact, how much are link-reroll-orbs (forgot which ones they are/edit, fusing) worth? How many would you get for 400c?

On SC people are buying 2.17 fusings for 1 C. I don't know what you pay if you try to buy fusings with your C.
I just did some exchanges today, trying to collect 450c for that 6L Covenant :D

I believe PoB is calculating it correctly at the moment.

Your base damage (for ailment calculations) includes:

• The actual base damage of the thing you're causing it with (e.g., the listed values on a spell gem, or the base damage of your weapon for an attack).
  
• Any added flat damage of the relevant type(s) (e.g., from the Added Chaos Damage Support gem or Abyssus).
  
• The damage effectiveness of the skill causing the hit.
  
• Any damage conversion (including "added as" conversion). Note that hits remember their conversion history when applying ailments (so poison applied by damage that was converted from fire to chaos by The Consuming Dark will be scaled by increased fire damage).

It doesn't include:

• Any non-local scaling that applies to the hit (e.g., weapon-specific nodes, area damage from Carcass Jack, less projectile damage from GMP, etc.).

It's then scaled by:

• Any non-local scaling that applies to the ailment (e.g., generic damage on jewels, the "ailments" portion of most weapon-specific nodes, Elemental Overload, Void Manipulation, etc.).
