Is it smart to buy a few like T9-10s and then "trickle down" from those? Assuming some maps 1-2 tiers below would drop from them? | ||

trickle down is rough because unless you have maps unlocked, the trickle down can be forced lower EG you have up to a tier 6 unlocked, and buy a tier 10 to run. If a map drop rolls tier 9 it will be the one connected to the tier 10, but if it rolls tier 8 or 7 it will get forced down to tier 6 because there are no tier 7/8 maps in the droppable pool for that map. | ||

Ohhh ok, that makes sense. I wasn't 100% familiar on how the links on the atlas do/don't affect what bases maps will roll when they drop. I'll just start buying more from Zana to try and pick up some holes I've been unlucky with. | ||

If you want to minimize how much you have to buy maps, use this: https://pastebin.com/7dtsb09N But really, just buy the maps you need because GGG made completing a self-found Atlas a huge chore this league (the rearranged Atlas is mostly more branched in the lower map tiers meaning that there's more shit that's hard to get because you can't 3->1 for it and have to get it as a drop). | ||

Yeah I was going to comment about how it feels like the 1->4ish maps are way less linear (on the atlas I mean) now, compared to before, but I didn't trust my memory. So many T1-2 maps with multiple T2-3s branching off them. | ||

Also the whole minigame of trying to buy multiple items and trying to get them all to fit together so all your resists and life and mana and dps are better than before is tiring. It is so much easier to buy two weapons or jewels. | ||

I'm working up a witch following Enki's Arc Wtich build (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1147951) right now. I'm only up to lv 26. Already moved into act 3 passive skill tree (Haven't finished act 2 yet; I've been doing all the side quest because why not xd!) Been having a blast, but I feel like I'm not farming anything well. I still don't even have 3/4 links I can plug into arc. Which is ok because my area dmg isn't terrible but my single target dps is shit. Could someone tell me who to talk to for a guild invite for advice? I've tried to look up both names that are in the sticky up top. Either my PoE client's buggy as hell (usual case), but it's not finding you. My ign league character's name is Touffluv | ||

We should probably change that sticky again since those IDs were specifically for beta, maybe back to recommending that people post in here or something like that. Sorry for that and welcome. I'm sure we can help you out with some stuff to get you started. <3 While we're talking guildstuff: Just in case there are questions about this in the future since this isn't exactly something that we've seen happen before in guild: A couple days ago someone bugged me to invite a friend of his with the account name "ASpiRingFX" (charname we invited was "AbyssOpG"), no big deal, we generally are fine with buddies coming in since they're a nice way of bringing people in who are essentially vetted and usually roll well with us. After this short (non-)exchange he left guild. Rumors have it that certain trials and maps were found shortly after. PS: Guildpoints are at 195 now thanks to Hoosegow's awesome buddy ayashi donating 100 points when he joined, so we'll just get +10 slots when we need them next instead of cleaning up older accounts. | ||

Basically if I do any of those maps they will flip to Elder/Shaper respectively and if I do them again afterwards they will flip back. This *should* work forever, at the very least until I do something elsewhere on the Atlas, then it might need a bit of cleanup. The way to set this up is to get the Elder blob in the general area where you want him. If you want it to spread towards "neutral" adjacent maps, do other maps elsewhere. If you want him to spread towards Shaper controlled maps, do an adjacent one (killing boss or killing a certain amount of mobs works). DO NOT under any circumstance cut him in half, e.g. if I would do Ivory Temple (the white map on the right side of the elder block) the bottom half of my Elder influence would disappear since that is the only map where those two connect (top half would have 5 maps left, bottom 4). If Shaper would randomly take that one over because of me doing shit elsewhere this would also fall apart. The only real way to avoid this would be giving the three white maps to the right of that to Elder as well, but I'm not gonna risk spawning guardians with that until we have a better idea of when exactly they spawn. This basic setup should be possible wherever you want on the Atlas, assuming it's not going to be too large so that Guardians end up spawning. | ||

Should you try to unlock all t15 bonus first before doing this ? Also I think guardian (and elder) will show up when the elder zone hits 19 maps. | ||

Depends on what you want to do. imo all T15s are kind of shit so I'd rather see more Shaped Siege/Shaped Vault/Shaped Infested. T12 and below I'm less sure. I can see both filling those out and shaping a specific one work out. And yeah, I remember the reddit post mentioning 19 maps being needed, but I'd rather wait for some more info before potentially getting my Atlas stuck. 19 would be insane though, could pull it all the way up to Shaped Fields if you're going for that. :3 | ||

Got elder and guardian twice when my zone hit 19. I think Kirby got his one time on 20 though. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.gyazo.com/fae5af73cf347feecd214050d0c71cd5.png) I can do Shaped Infested Valley (T13), Shaped Coral Ruins (12), or Shaped Fields (T11) for constant shaper/elder drops and pack size. Set it up like this so I can finish the clear 600 influence maps challenge but I don't want any elders or guardians, it's working rly smoothly right now. Also, heres this Temp Chains bug in Uber Lab I mentioned in guild last night: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/929296461673378608/D32201C323BE17E260DEF9D0522240D7D05680F1/) can clearly see that I'm slowed by temp chains, but no graphical effect of the Sentinel's AoE. Doesn't happen in every zone of uber, but it's happened more than once at least. Beware! | ||
