What challenges do you have left / what are you aiming for?

I didn't have a lot of time to play so I'm far from being done with the league. Funnily enough this is the first time I reached lvl 98 ever, although I haven't started another character yet so that's likely why. That and the fact that my build doesn't die unless I'm stupid. Might even go for 100 for the first time, who knows..

if you intentionally go for lvl 100, I think its kind of fun. One of those achievements to have as a feather in your cap. Theres a few diff strats if you don't want to do a degen way, esp since 5 ways got nerfed a while back

gauntlet seems like fun... might just do an A10 or lvl 80 run

Yeah 2-3x is probably about right. I liked Harbingers a lot this league for both money making and exp, especially the jumbo pack ones, but they can be pretty rippy when you get a bunch of ball lightnings stacked on you. Rituals actually give a stupid amount of omens, even if you're not actually running the rituals. It's pretty easy to farm up a bunch of amelioration omens if you don't want to buy one just by having them on the map for awhile.

Shrines + rituals (skipping the actual rituals) was pretty good for both exp and gold, though not great a money maker. Ritual's mostly just there to add a bunch of packs to the map, but again, can be super rippy because those tiny blue balls do 10x more damage than is reasonable.

People usually like breach or abyss for exp, but I just dislike the mechanics so I avoid them.

Took about a mirror or so of investment, but I finally got a build together that could clear the Fetid Pool so my 40/40 is done.

Overall a pretty good league. Faustus was definitely the major reason for it. I hope they dial back the gold sinks in future leagues and reign in T17s a lot more. I would've liked to do more with the black market gambling, so hopefully future gold-related changes make that more feasible. I also hope they leave recombinators as-is, but it feels like they might think they went too far and just remove it again.

I generally like the feeling of things happening outside of your mapping, but I don't know HOW any of that would go core. I guess you could do an NPC that does mapping things, but I don't know how you do the supporting systems (hirelings and upgrades) in a way that makes sense.

It might just be that gold / faustus are the only things that go core, and that'd be fine imo.

The most 10s I ever had at once in the league was 9 and that steadily dwindled back to 4 over time. I found it pretty much impossible to keep up with gold unless I was blasting T17s for a large chunk of time every day. The last two weeks I pretty much just abandoned mappers because they were too much of a hassle to both farm gold for and to loot/resupply every 2 hours. It's the kind of thing that was fun for awhile, but eventually trended toward tedious. I'm hoping pretty much none of kingsmarch goes core.

On the lower motivation days it felt really bad being like "fuck I still have to go farm gold for an hour before logging off".

In about a month from now, we'll be doing a livestream that covers all the content of Early Access for Path of Exile 2, and how you'll be able to gain access.

We won't reveal too much just yet, but we'd like to clarify that just like Fall of Oriath, entry to Early Access will be gained by purchasing one of the new Supporter Packs containing a key. These new Supporter Packs will be revealed during the livestream. Players that meet a threshold of lifetime support in Path of Exile 1 will also be invited to participate in Early Access without needing to purchase a key.

Yeah I spent most of the league running either 4h shipments with one crew at like 30g/h cost with hope of hitting the pirate, or full crews sending 200k-1m shipments which came back with divs reasonably consistently. I did mappers for the challenge but hated it, loot was garbage and the micro of setting up maps, replacing dead mappers, and looting was more annoying than it was worth.

Risk doesn't matter for anything, that was tested early on. There were anecdotal reports about shipment value's effect, but I don't know of anything proven. I've had ships abducted on minimum value shipments, though I couldn't say how many.

Zizaran seemed to think it'll be a $30 supporter pack to get access or $480 lifetime spending. I guess that's what the numbers were for Fall of Oriath.
