Whereas I spent lots of currency on these - not sure yet which (of the +2) bow to continue with:


continue with the third one, craft "cannot roll attack mods" from catarina then exalt. you have two suffixes so its an easy +3. theres a good chance youd get unlucky with the other.

What you mean with "unlucky"? I got "lucky" though:

Did you somehow farm for these or were they lucky drops?


damn, i would kill for that bow right now haha. im crafting one but just need another EX to drop. (been a couple weeks without one) what i meant about being potentially unlucky is that since you only had one suffix on that bow, if you crafted "cannot roll attack mods" (making it two suffixes) you could accidently roll another suffix instead of +1 gems with your exalt, making your +3 still possible, but 1 EX more expensive to make. anyhow grats on the bow though! also, ive been running just about any leaguestone, whatever i feel like at the moment, and was running domination for awhile. also i ran with 170-180% rarity and was alching 90% of maps and chiseling T6-T7+ so it was part that and part getting lucky having those Gulls drop.

Used my Invasion stones for hunting for bosses, Southern Forest exackly (Nighteater plus 3 of them in City of Sarn) and found this:

IT'S OVEEEER. After 30 hours of farming, I guess I can say I deserve the shield. Was probably a very stupid idea to even start farming Solaris Temple, but I got the first 3 cards within 3 hours, so had to keep on going... Longest streaks of no cards were 9h for the 4th, and 14h(!!!!) for the last card.



This was done with Bisco's Collar and 43IIQ from other gear. Standard HC SSF, so no leaguestones here... I'm happy it's over! Now lets just not RIP it right away... ;)



IMO the best approach to SSF is to roll a generic, unique-undependent character first and then roll with whatever the game gives you and you like as your second, third and so on build.

Speaking of which,



random drops lol

The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.

I think trading like MF is a noob trap,it just frustrates people and time doing it could of been spent actually playing the game.I have done much better on SSF without the trading to be honest.

For most regular people I agree, but if you set an online shop and use trading programs, flip on big items and constantly look for profitable deals, you will sadly do better wealth wise as oppose to actualy playing the game. Been there done that and did not enjoy it one bit

I know, right! :) I've made 4 characters above lvl 85 now since SSF was implemented. I was running 43IIQ/225IIR (I know it's not very high, but couldn't go much higher if I wanted to stay alive) low maps and Dried Lake like a mad man, chancing every base mosaic kite shield I found. Never played self-cast RF before, so I wanted the shield soooo bad. I can't recommend farming The Sun card though, unless you really feel desperate for the shield, like I did.

But sure, you'll get wealthy from doing that.

But what do you then do with that wealth? You buy your endgame gear and thus render farming for gear moot.

I'll never understand trading as a major point in an ARPG, when like, the majority of the game is farming for your perfect drops.

Hence why I've only played as SSF...

I mean, especially in PoE, trading seems so odd, given that for the most part, outside of a couple of build defining uniques, you can craft BiS gear yourself fairly easily.

All you need is a white base of decent quality, a bunch of Alts and enough Regals for everything and whatever you need for Mastercrafting.

But people would far too often prefer to just buy that stuff from others and head straight into just farm for map drops, to get more maps, to farm for map drops. Then get bored and stop playing until the next league where they do it all over again...
