100% sure people have probably vendored 10 ex+ base fractured items.

If you want ES based implicits, you synthesise gear with ES. If you want ES affixes, you use a fossil that increases defenses.

If you want to know what either actually does, you go to poedb.


Not even remotely true. If you crack open a fossil formation and see a single fossil drop and it's new to you it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know you should keep it.

On the other hand this league's equivalent of a hollow fossil - ie a really great fractured item? It could be as simple as a t2 reduced attributes and 2 throwaway stats. Easy to have something that looks like junk but is actually a very powerful base.

And the only wat to pick out those cases involves playing with a damn spreadsheet siting next to you.

Some fossils look like crap, or about the same level as other ones when in reality they are worth a fucking fortune.

You picked an edge case, good for you. There's plenty of fossil outcomes that you have no way of predicting from the fossil description and you'll only learn about in a database.

They're like yeah this is dogshit simply because it's not going to teach you.

I shouldn't have to watch a youtube video on how to play this game. I swear I"m not giving anymore money to this game until a few things are changed/improved. How to get maps being one and a less complicated league mechanic for another. I absolutely despise trading for any lower maps now.


Because what? Every game needs to be dumbed down for lazy brainless players? Have you seen Warframe? You spend HOURS and HOURS looking on guides/wiki to understand shit in that game and it is getting more and more popular. Its clear like day and night that people actually enjoy those "hard to understand games" looking at how popular Warframe and PoE got.

That's an awful comparison LOL what the hell is that?
Dys an sohm
Rohs an kyn
Sahl djahs afah
Mah morn narr
Where do I even compare things lol? Its a statement that there are other games that also require you to "search for knowledge" and they are getting more and more popular.

You've simply forgotten that the game has ALWAYS required youtube videos in order to learn to play it. And if YOU didn't watch them personally, then you got advice from someone who did.

Edit: Also the PoE Warframe comparison is actually a great one that I never thought of before. They are actually extremely similiar to one another. Instead of gems they have augments. They are also becoming a sort of 'Legacy League+' as well which gives their similiarly defined 'endgame' multiple routes for different styles of players to take just like PoE

Great minds think alike I suppose

That's where, duh? That's a comparison to the fractured item situation.

And seriously, anyone who's played the game for more than a couple hundred hours can easily identify a 10ex rare item because "good mods are good". Meanwhile, no one has a lookup table in their head for every single good synthesized mod except streamers playing the game 10 hours per day.
I'm probably one of those. I just pick fractured items because of 1k challenge. I don't have time or patience to watch 653474585468 youtube videos, use 2423356 3rd party programs. I don't want to play rocket science, I want to slay monsters, get loot and improve. This is still an ARPG right?

"There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."

"The best items in the game should not be crafted, they should be TRADED." - Cent, GGG
^^ theres 1x 10 min video, and optionally you could watch some streamer 30 min vids for "flavor" and context. There's one webpage (not website, literally just one page) you need to look at. That's not much.

"T1 mods are probably good" is about all you need to know when looking at fractured items.

Yes, sometimes you can get away with 1 T2 and 2 T1, but that doesnt mean you should keep T2 junk. Worry about that when you have the T1's and buy the T2 for 1 alch.
