Really wish there was a way to empower a waypoint to raise the area level, similar to Dark Souls 2's bonfire ascetic mechanic.

Borderlands 2 did this with their "max level play-through"... where everything was the highest level. It actually got kind of stale... having too much freedom takes away the feeling of accomplishment figuring out what's "best".

Well, it also got a little stale because there were two (three?) such playthroughs, and the whole time the only thing that really changes is bigger numbers on the items and coming from the enemies.

Dried Lake it's meh...
It gives me more than 30ex in one week once but it's kind of boring...

idk how you guys can run dried lake for so long. i skipped straight to maps at 64 this league, because they are simply more interesting to play

it's a great area for leveling and farming, but it feels very depressing.
that, and you kill Voll who I always considered a "good guy" in Lore.
corrupted rotting undead good guy, but still fighting for a cause.

is good farming for uniques?

apathy of exile

Zone is fine, daresso´s dream is better if you got the armor to farm it. After 85 dried lake farming is just botlike or for memesparks.

Not even sure why vaal spark wasn´t nerfed.

GGG thought process: ''we have a build that clears a certain low level map so fast and extremely safe that it is better for levelling than the entire mapping system we made''. "Should we nerf it?" "No".

It's not even that expensive like people claim. Come on if you want a build with decent clear speed at tier 8+ maps you have to drop at least 120c or so worth off items on it. You don't even need shavronne's for it, it just means you can start doing it at 70 instead of 80.

Hmm, from my understanding he was obsessed with purity. It's the only hole that's annoying in the PoE lore. Voll accepted help off Malachai who dedicated his life to thaumaturgy and Dialla which leaked of thaumaturgy at that point. Not sure why he would trust those two so easily instead of executing them both.
