Just small things you wouldn't think about like using orbs on strongboxes, or chancing bases to try get uniques. (Only unique I need besides flasks for this build is a devouring diadem, but i can farm that at catarina)

any tips appreciated

run sac frags to get an easy 6 link early on unless u wanna farm tabula in ba

blood aqueducts tabula farm was always quite fast for me every time i did it. no regrets, and infinite flexibility with gem colors unlike a corrupted 6l

I thought the corrupted side areas dropped cards for a corrupted guaranteed 1 implicit tabula?

Yep. I think vanity cards are rarer.

you can alter colors with craft table and its nice to have some mods on ur armor

thats fucking expensive to do especially in ssf...
mods are nice but so is having a flexible 6l

ive had no issues i now have a proper 6l but even so its like 10 vaal orbs unless u need some crazy off color scheme or are super unlucky

if you get a bad base type for your build you are fucked

pure ev 6l chest for your caster..eezzz...

they really arent hard to farm man
i ran like 10 frags and got 4 6 links
i personally prefer that over tabula but thats just me
