The Farming Thread!

Decided to make a thread about the daily unique drops I get on a daily basis. I'd love to see everyone else's with there IIQ/IIR included.
Current IIQ: 49% Current IIR: 433% Finally on my 16th day of farming, I have hit the jackpot drop that I wanted when I had started this character/thread! I had saw the orange text from a unique drop but didn't pay very much attention to the name. When I read what it was, I was very nervous of mousing over it because of the new unique... http://i.imgur.com/yFw59NM.jpg

After spending almost 2 weeks just selling things I had already obtained throughout my play time, I finally was able to purchase one. Surprisingly I only had to steal 1 exalted from my farming tab that I'll replace eventually. I probably could've obtained one sooner but it's a headache to sit there all day posting items. Instead I just wait until I see people needing something in trade then I'll sell the item. Patience is the key to this method. Current gear (changes sometimes to different pieces):

17 days of farming: Here is what a bit over 2 weeks of farming has landed me. 75% of the exalts in the tabs are from drops/unique sales/eternal sales. 25% of the exalts are from purchasing them at a ratio I couldn't pass up with my farming currency, mainly chaos spent.

Maybe that'll change? FAQ: (Questions I receive a lot in-game) Q: Where do you farm? A: Mainly merciless docks, sometimes merciless Piety or normal/cruel Hillock. 99% of the time I'm in merciless docks though. Q: How often do you get a unique? A: I see a unique usually once an hour at least. Sometimes I do have a dry streak for a couple hours though. Other times I'll get 4-5 in an hour. Q: Does it ever get boring farming hours on end? A: It does sometimes but when I get a good drop, that makes up for it and keeps me going. Q: What's your stash look like? A: I'll possibly post a picture soon. I keep saying I will but just kinda...ehh about it.

After taking a break from the game for a bit and playing some League of Legends again for a while, I decided it was time for me to come back to Path of Exile. My original plan was to re-roll on hardcore and I ended up dying because my internet cut out for a couple minutes. I then decided I'd re-roll on anarchy and just fool around there. After messing around with several different builds; spark, freeze pulse, cyclone, ethereal knives, split arrow. I couldn't get a feel for any of them since I've overplayed them all.
Finally I decided on a more fun build, CI dual strike melee splash using dual claws. Current gear:
Spoiler
Current build: The short-term goal is to get into the top 100 on anarchy and then I'll up the number some. My long-term goal is to eventually change back to low-life MF spark when I get another Shavronne's Wrapping and continue this farming thread. Only because spark is a safer end-game build and dying sucks whether you're on hardcore or softcore. Current Rank: 1235 as of 7/15/2013 Got trolled with a chance: Bought this: " Threw 1 jeweller on it that got it 6 sockets then put a fusing on it to get 5L. I'd say it was worth it and a 5L will due for now. Going to slowly transition into a full MF but not until my gear improves enough to support it in maps. What am I currently doing? I've got some hardcore currency and am now thinking of a new IIQ/IIR build. I'd like to do something HP based like Deltrus build but I don't have the friend base for that. His build is pure support so I'll have to think of another skill or build. Last edited by VegaszTheFarmer#7676 on Jul 21, 2013, 11:13:06 AM

Bumping this before bed.

I guess there's no interest in this.

I'd also be interested in your currency drops during these sessions tbh.
I never use MF (or IIR/IIQ as we call it here), because I don't like the idea of having to sacrifice some mods on my items, but I feel like i'm really paying a heavy price for it (never looted a single exalt, divine, eternal, mirror and like 2 gcp in my entire PoE experience) |

People may be interested, but they only need to read your post to satisfy their curiosity, they don't really need to comment and start a 10 page thread.
