You have made the worst possible choice in going for 300 maps. End game grinds takes a long time, but getting 300 maps will take even longer. Don't get those two unless you're going for 40/40.

Completing the divination card sets is easy. I think it cost me maybe 200 chaos to complete the required sets. I'd already found 1/3 or so just from playing the game.

8 mod maps is also easy. Just Vaal maps from each tier until you get them. This will be much cheaper than the divination cards.

Assuming you actually do the end game lab, Argus is a freebie unless all your builds are made of glass. Play a build he can't 1-shot, toss out Decoy Totems occasionally, and shoot him in the back until he's dead.

The unid'd maps challenge is another cheap one. Odds are you'll find a bunch of them, but the vendor recipe and a few Vaal orbs will get the rest. This one's super cheap since it'll just cost a handful of Vaals and some alchs.

Double Spirit is easy as long as you have a build that's defensive enough to kite around a ghosted rare for a while and that doesn't just spam AOE damage for miles in every direction. Mod a Dunes, Shore, or similar low level map that doesn't have multiple rooms or sections (no Dungeon or Tropical Island types). Find a rare. Kite it around until it's ghosted. Repeat. This should only take one map.

Miazga - as Perq said, Twinned and Unid are not hard to get at all. This was the easy method I used to get them, give it a go and you will see.
I am at 36 and these are the challenges I am missing:

- End game grind
- Get maps from bosses
- Divination Cards
- Fulfill prophecy II

Which ones are you missing?


I will see, i only pay solo tho. What i miss are:
- endgame grind
- clear maps with 8 mods (0/10)
- get maps (125/300)
- clear twinned (2/15)
- div cards (1/7)
- kill argus in uber lab
- clear unid maps (0/10)
- reach lvl 90 (this will happen this weak, my ranger is at 89 and slowly making it way to 90)
- Encounter III (double tormented spirits - i try with zana mod, buy keep get 2 spirits in a map only)

As i said i will do the lvl 90, the tormented spirits and will try to get the 300 maps, but rest is so much hussle.


Ah, I see. Try some advice regarding Twinned and Unid/8 mods, it really works. For twinned I had to purchase Abyss Map as I just couldn't get T15 to drop. Kaom is pretty tame as a map boss, shouldn't cause you a lot of problems. Kill Uber Argus, probably lots of kiting and decoys will be needed depending on a build but should be pretty doable. You are about to get 90 so thats one off the list and then there are double possession as extra if you can't do any of the others (I was super lucky on that one, I entered the map and there were two ghosts right at the start almost next to a rare. Instant possessions). I would skip maps from bosses, end game grind and div cards (unless you want to buy cards). that is what I did. I also played 99.99% solo and like I said I run a lot of maps (but I enjoy maps so theres that). I know that these Twinned/Unid/8 mods seem intimidating and a lot of work but I managed to get lots of them by simply alching and vaaling maps. Many of them turned to 8 mod or Unid. Good luck with your 36, you still have plenty of time to complete the challenges:)
I AM MAD
ZAP!ZAP!ZAP! ME SOOO WIZZARD!
unid maps is not very difficult, and with corruption, 8mods maps should be doable too.
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.
300 maps challenge dont cost nothing... just takes time

twinned map i could probably clear up to t13 i think. (t11 is the highest i've gone so far and never got a higher tier map) - i started doing it last night tbh.
unid maps - cost currency, which i always struggle to spend on maps (excl chisels and alchs)
8 mod maps - unless i would be luck to get it with alch there is no way i will be spending currency on it.


I most likely will be forced to go into uber lab, and find argus.... ehhh i hate the whole idea of the lab and I refused to go there (done the 3 mandatory ones...eee i mean "optional" ones). as a ranged char is should be ok against him, just gonna keep my distance.

guess global 820 will be my new best friend for a while


YES I support the game, NO I don't agree with many GGG decisions

Lab still sucks balls.

I miss Zana already.

It does cost something. Maps. Just as unident thing doesn't cost anything - you just need to find 3 maps, that result in your unident map, alch them and then sell them to get the right ones.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.

By the time I had bosses drop 300 maps, I had three characters fully geared including non-Tabula 6-links and a bunch of perfectly rolled uniques that cost me a 1-3 ex premium each. I was also sitting on dozens of exalts worth of other currency. That was just from picking up drops, doing some chaos recipes, and selling things that were worth selling. I also already had all the other challenges, so subtract whatever those cost out.

If you can't afford to do some challenges because they cost maybe a dozen chaos (!!!), that's a problem you can easily work on.

Also, you can't get an eight mod map with an alch. You get those from using Vaal orbs. Some mods have multiple lines, but that's not the same thing as being multiple mods.

as I said making currency is rather hard for me:

Basically this is all i have more or less when it comes to my wealth. And this from the beggining of the league till now. I've spend some c here and there but also made some over the time from chaos recipe, so its roughly balance things out. Vaals i mostly use all the time vaaling things... like belts and stuff

ive made lakie 3 pure ex from sac frags alone. but i leveled 3 characters actively - doing prophecies and side zones and ended up with several fragments. got some from uber lab as well (including penta midnight drop..)

sac frags are easy steady money. chaos recipe is another source (people say it is not worth and maybe it isnt ON THEIR CLEARSPEED LEVEL. but for us mortals i find chaos recipe to be nice source of chaos).

sold some rares and uniques. sold some div cards i do not care about (and found out that most cards are worthless). made lots of extra cash doing 'useless' prophecies as some call them. these fusings from 30sec kuduku runs do add up after some time.

and i do not flip nor play long hours.

also sold 3 full pale council sets for 2 ex plus several pieces for chaoses. i already have my bows and didnt want the sour taste of gloves or helmet droping.

prophecy chains rewards are also good steady income source. prophecy in general prints money in the long tun. but yes you have to visit low lvl areas for few minutes. yes you have. but imho it pays off.

+1 to rolling "twinned" on multiple-boss maps like Museum, Bazaar, etc. I'm not keen on totem poles so I stopped at 36 challenges and gave away all of those maps to a friend who was going after 40/40. He made good progress and got it done within days. Also, party up. While the maps that drop are allocated to the owner, as far as the challenge goes, the drop counts for everyone in the party.
