I can't grind content I don't have (unless you count farming Act 10 for T1-maps at lvl 80 as grinding - I don't, my masochism still has some boundaries intact).

If the wall is not getting (enough) maps early on then grinding for chances (buy maps from Zana) and maps in Blood Aqueduct is the (probably) best way to break this wall. If you are unwilling to do such grinding then I agree - PoE SSF in its current form may not be the right game for you.

Yes, I do the chance- and chaos-recipes from lvl 1 onwards.

I dont do chance/chaos recipes. I dont think its worth it - unless maybe if you have some special need for chances/chaos. Or are very good at item management - which I am not.

But I can't grind for more regals when I don't have access to lvl 75+ content.

You need Regals for early maps?

(I am not trying to defend the game/Atlas design here. I think it has major issues. But personally I dont mind things like "need to do RNG based grind for progress" much in comparison with other things such as the "broken" Bestiary league.)

I know these images. I know these guides. They're mostly useless for SSF.

Missed the wording here. The guide linked above is made for SSF by an SSF player. Updated post to make this clear.

Chaos recipe is OP man. Spam fortune favours the bold every rare map, at 3c you can usually afford to sustain it.

Grind blood aqueduct, a lvl 61 zone. At lvl 80. For chance orbs. To buy randomised access to lvl 68 to 75 content.

Are you even aware how ridiculous that suggestion is?

No, that kind of game is obviously not for me, and I wonder what is in those Atziri flasks everyone and their grandma sports that people argue seriously that this is reasonable game design.

This thread is so NOT the place to bitch about drops. Take it outside.

Was trying to loot one for some time, finally it dropped. Gear for the next char, a Tectonic Jugger, is piling up.

I prefer regal recipe. Much easier to follow better you on Zana maps.

Regal recipe is definitely useful, but you don't need that many regals. Chaos is useful for Zana mods.

Don't know what page this is was on but went through 4 pages and gave up and used general search to find.

Anyway I am still on 4L but DPS but happy with CI Ethereal Knives Occultist,DPS is so much better on the witch than it was on my ranger(Deadeye?) 2 leagues ago.Felt slow going but then I realise it is because I was use to what I had end of the last league.

Looted this:


which complements my next points to be spent in ascendancy.

Also for first time this seems useful since I went CI



Got a shaper int shield and ring

Trying to 6L that Brass Dome, used about 500 fus and stopped at the 5th 5L. Then casually tried to get a 5L on a Hege staff and it 6-linked on the 19th fuse...



The question for the Casino manager is: would the chest 6-link, had I used just one more stack of fuse on it, hmm..? :D

About recipes: I start doing chaos recipe imediatelly after getting into Blood aqueduct in new leagues and use it througout the whole temp league. I try to reach ilvl 75 items asap too for the regal one, as regals are really scarce up to that.

In Std SSF I do the unid chaos recipe, as chaos is needed badly for T14+ mapping. 5 chances is also one I like to do (with jewelry items). I don't bother with Alc, as they are generated enough through drops and vendoring rares / uniques.
