Help with searing exarch please?
"I dont know if depth matters for Fossils in Ruthless but Fossils can be farmed right from the start of the mine. "They can be rerolled with Harvest. Also read up on the wiki about zones and the Fossils which they can contain. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Fossil "When I still played Ruthless the "more xyz modifiers" didnt work though. The blockers did work. In some cases that made Fossils better, in others worse. Dont know if they changed that. "Tier and map mods dont matter for most reward things. So Betrayal is one of those that can be used for burning low tier maps. "No simple answer. You need to know what you want and understand if its feasible or not. https://www.craftofexile.com/ can be very useful for this. Example: If your whole goal is Exarch then you may want to get +maximum fire resist. In Ruthless Cluster is probably the cheapest Jewel way to achieve that. So you see in craftofexile 2.2% chance for "Molten One's Mark' on a lvl 70 cluster. Expected cost is thus ~50 Alts and some Augs. Whether this is feasible for you I dont know. Also: If "**Gambling with Jewel Properties**" works on Clusters (no idea) it would be another option. <snip Spectre things that I dont know about> "MoM in principle can be good if you do Eternal Blessing + Important Aura. But whether this fits your build is another question. And you need Eternal Blessing which you may not have. "Cant give proper build advice. One little thing I noticed is that you are not using "Withering Touch" in your main link. This may be a DPS upgrade and give additional Withering. Dont know if this is viable though as you need to have it and its green. "If Exarch is your goal then dumping MoM for 3 max fire resist seems questionable. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

Guff might be an option for cluster jewels. I know a lot of people don't like the guff mechanic, but I think it is potential useful if you are trying to roll cluster jewels and have limited currency.
In normal delve the depth does mater for fossils, I think it is the same for ruthless. Once it starts getting too rough just go sideways though, you should still get decent rewards. I think you want to be going into the dark looking for them. I mainly stay on path delving, but people I talked to who were getting lots of fossils in ruthless were going off road to find them. One bloke had well over a 100 fossils and had not gone that deep, so it is possible to get them. I do agree with the advice on trying to roll your chest amour, seems like it is a bit behind your other items. lvl 72 is probably good enough to hit something better if you can get enough materials to have a fair few goes at it and not end up with something worse. Whether that will make much difference over all on your build, im not sure. It get's hard to improve your build where you are upto, thats the kind of thing you need to be looking for. If you are completely focused on doing exarch and think you are close to doing it, I don't think the tolerance wheel is helping you at all for that fight. Might be hard to respec if you want that back later, but that is 5 points that I don't think are helping you at all for that fight. Last edited by Belegur85#5784 on Apr 4, 2025, 11:50:06 AM

Thanks for the replies. For whatever reason, I received no notifications about these and are just seeing them now. I also haven't been online due to horrific disconnections, wasting my maps and time and generally causing frustration, not sure if I will continue.
The main information I have is that I am mistaken: I had calculated with Haste in PoB, but it is one of the very few gems I do not have. I have multiple copies of many support gems and have even found one Enlighten (!!), which apparently is exceptionally rare in ruthless, but Haste evades me yet, and so I have not really respecced much. Am working on the chest though. Would have liked to use an armour base and even have a decent one, but I simply cannot color it, so will have to stick to ES. My goal IS to be Exarch, but I don't want to respec entirely ONLY for Exarch, so I am keeping Tolerance for now. Once I get Haste, if I do, I will probably go Block however and skip the cluster jewel, unless I do end up doing so just for Exarch, in which case it is just a matter of time for getting the currency to do that and respec back. thanks for the advice and help Underrated stats: Basic human decency, small quantum of respect, microportion of compassion

" Sorry, had forgotten to ask: How do these fossils get a better wand? They cannot generate + skill, right? Underrated stats: Basic human decency, small quantum of respect, microportion of compassion

"Seems to be relatively common post 0.2 patch for PoE2. Also have some issues myself. "If you are not already doing it: In Ruthless Shipping is supposedly the best way to farm currency. "What do you mean with "They cannot generate"? Unless there is some special "they cannot generate" rule in Ruthless it should work just as well as in non-Ruthless: If you go to https://www.craftofexile.com/, select Convoking wand with item level 82. Then select the 3 Fossils. It will then remove the ineligible mods, this should work in Ruthless same way as in normal. Now only 3 groups of Prefixes remain. So whenever the rolling algorithm decides to create 6 mods it must pick one mod of every of these 3 groups. This means every 6-mod result will have the following prefixes: +1 all skill +1 minion or chaos skill %minion damage or %spell damage Now on Convoking wand +1 Minion skill is more likely than +1 Chaos skill and in similar manner %minion damage is more likely than %spell damage. So you have realistic odds to get a reasonable +2 wand out of this. If you have Prime Resonator you can add a 'Jagged' to improve the odds, in that case you can use a 83+ wand also. And failed wands (those that dont give +2) may still be better than what you have now. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!
