[3.3] Gilded Cage's Comprehensive Guide to Maps
|
Loving the comprehensive post. Learned quite a bit and interesting to see someone else's perspective on all of the maps.
Some small corrections, saw some mod descriptions were switched around in the spreadsheet accidentally. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BQVhe_4f2ujyzhQ9uKbAkU_j1bOUKCDxpjwdVx8MfV4/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true "Map affixes" Bottom mods. "Of enfeeblements - Players are cursed with temporal chains" etc. "Of Vulnerability - Players are cursed with enfeeble". I was running Spider forest a lot but was unable to keep permanent elder influence so reading your post made me realize my mistakes as well. Last edited by Lazybeer on Jan 17, 2018, 6:55:06 PM

" 1) Not to my knowledge but hopefully in a future expansion. 2) I'm not sure, I'd need to do some research. Vaal Temple is not a unique map so it might be able to get Elder influence - else it behaves like the other T16 maps and can't get it at all. 3) The Elder/Shaper influence is still really new so given more time I might have better answers. Your theory is interesting though and I'll keep it in mind going into the future. " Toxic Sewer is much different in 3.1. It is no longer a trash tier map with lots of backtracking. It is linear with great monster density. Channel I find is too spaced out and needs a little backtracking. " Fixed thanks. |

Ok, I think my question will best fit here.
Why "The Putrid Cloister" and "The Twilight Temple" maps cost 1+ Ex>? Cloister (I suppose it, at least) is because of Divination Cards, but why Temple? "War's over, soldier. You just don't know it yet. Everybody lost."

Great guide.
For SSF, I have a couple of strategy suggestions. Forgive me if they've already been mentioned. 1. Divination cards: I take these into account when shaping maps. For example, I shape Dungeon instead of Beach because it has much better cards. I can reshape later. Also, I needed the card "Death" for my build, so I shaped Marshes. 2. Regal Orbs. I get a lot by using the recipe. I always use these on Zana maps to get an extra affix. I also sometimes use them on tier:6+ maps. This way, I can control 2 of the affixes and still complete new maps relatively easily. For tier 11+, you can get easy corrupted rares. | |

This is a really nice guide, thank you for working on it.
I am working on a different Excel workbook for a checklist of whats complete for the league and need map boss names, with all the changes in 3.1 the Wiki is no longer a useful source for this as it is wrong on a lot of them, and I am wondering if you have verified all of the boss names for each map. I only ask because some map bosses changed and of course they added a bunch more. Thanks, have a great day!! Simpl |

" I searched poe trade for Stygian Belts influenced by Elder. There are no belts of ilev 85 that are influenced by Elder. That's the only proof I found there have been no elder influenced T16 maps. (jewelry boxes with +level cannot drop abyssal belts) Did some more research and made this video (20min!) guide for ilev 86 elder & shaper item farm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhTPayzasTE @Minstrelshadrak Last edited by MinstrelShadrak on Jan 20, 2018, 4:40:42 AM

Why some maps on the spreadsheet have a yellow background? Couldn't find this info.

So this is super weird. I've started SSF now as the main league got a bit stale for me. I am running maps for about 10h now and am lvl 86. I've run shaper maps on each tier up to t8 and did not yet get elder influence. Any clues/information about what could be wrong?
The whole thing worked fine in non-SSF so this is really puzzling. Last edited by FaustVIII on Jan 25, 2018, 2:32:00 PM
