too bad the fucken elder is currently occupying 10 maps on five hours right of shapers realm :lol:


Ooh thats a bit job to bring it to the left up corner :) Maybe u just do elder once and hope it lands next time near needed map.

y i do, too ( you always need to hope finding a city regularily, i see no template there how they spawn, or are there some ?! ^^)

just want to say, without that it would be pain ...

does the shaper / elder flip-flop on this map really help by the way?


its all random, i've been able to sustain pretty easily though, 4 sextants/3 fragments/rats prophecy and tempests if i'm bored(not really worth it imo)

i've done 5-6 maps in a row with 1 map total, and i've done 1 map where i get 5. doesn't seem to matter if i have 150+quant on the map or around 100-115

always run 90/28 or higher maps unless they have beyond/more rare/more magic

i've been doing harbringer every map too, i think its about the same as beyond in regards to map returns, and i think in general you make quite a bit more than the 6c back on average.

you definitely want shaper/elder influence every map though or you'll never fully sustain

yeah, likely the faster option, to expand elder influence until it spaws and just kill him :D

... already got red elder him once, so usually not need ... but well ... if its really worth it doing this flip-flop, why not :D

yeah, the overall profit is not the problem imo ( counting in the delves though ... ) getting quite well forward
with selling orbs like jeweler, alchs etc you get and all red maps that you dont need ;-)

yeah i meant there are quite a few maps where i get t16 map drops from the harb mobs for the extra sustain

i think the easiest way to get him to spawn in that corner is to just spam t3 maps when elder is dead, he'll spawn on a random t3, there are 3 in the top left, 3 in the bottom right and only 2 in the other corners, takes a few tries but i think its the quickest way.

you can move him up if he spawns in the bottom left relatively quickly as well, its definitely worth it and maintaining it once you start is really really easy

All this Atlas stuff seems time consuming as fck. I never get to experience any of this Elder/shaper ping ponging.

This.

I made an Elder flooded Mine ~80 Quant on it, and i had 10*T16 Elder Drops (not sure how many <T15 dropped).
Its hard random

It is the easiest way, i spam Volcano Maps and it works fine.
If the elder influence is going on the wrong corner, i just destroy the influence -> and repeat
pretty easy system ^^

yes, at first you need to get elder orb, dunno if you already got that
( means : get 1-10 orbs, then kill red elder minions and red elder for 11-15,
then shaper for the 16th orb and after that you can shape some UGS map or so .. and scour all t15/t16 besides some shaped ones ^^

takes time, yes, i did this the first time since elder / shaper was introduced overall this season

well @challenges

this league is fucked if you want 36, requires much more grind compared to incursion imo

24 is quite easy, i myself just not think any further here :)

... and @time consuming : i just not try every league to reach every endgame-part of poe each league,
too high impact on reallife ( and on hands wrists xD )

this league however for my standards is quite pushing because i like the contents of mines, where you can make nice
profit for testing new chars ( for example just recently found 4sox resonator selling @140c and stuff, not to mention map drops in cities )
