Life is a game. Have fun! (3rd Experiment inside!)
 Good day exiles! I'd like to begin my story with the quotation above. Our life is an amazing thing and games make it even more entertaining. Path of Exile is a remarkable project which I have found out for myself when it was closed beta. I had a nice time then and still the game continues to become more and more adjusted. Many thanks to GGG team for it. This topic is about having fun in the game. What is fun for me? Well it's experiments. Doing something interesting in order to ger results: numbers, conclusions whether it is frustrating or not. A few words about me. Ordinary player - quite poor but willing to have fun.I plan to develop this topic and fill it with interesting stuff. But first of all I'm a person which lives a normal life and although this game is of some importance for me, don't expect me to post new content every single day, because we need to pay for everything, even in a game. And the most valuable thing we have is time. I'll set aims and will try to achieve them. The 1st experiment is over :)
Quay maps experiment
Mapping - usual endgame activity. The question is - if I'm blessed by RNG. Drops from maps and map drops themselves. All these factors make your future progression possible without spending currency on buying new maps. Let's see what I have. 16 Quay maps. Most of them are found by me. A couple of them I bought for 1c each. I have spend: 64 chisels, 16 alchemies, 1 chaos. Current experience 3%. Ok now I hope I'll find more than 16 higher or the same Tier maps. Currency and divination cards are welcom :) Well let's go... Will post the result asap. Cheers! Ok guys, finally its done :) I've reached 24% exp but then I found one of the two Trial of ascendancy I need for my charecter. Lost all experience. Still, it's ok. Well I would like to presents the results to you!

 Roughly it is 65c + ammy base is 5c on poe trade. As for maps. All the white ones I vendored for chisel recipe. We have 3 Tier 11 maps, 11 tier 10 maps together with unique Caer Blaidd map :) (Guess the next little overview :D). And in addition 16 Tier 9-6 maps. I've also found three divination cards... ...always a pleasure because I'm obsessed with them:) Accumulating tons of div cards to exchange them, I think I'll do it soon:) Summary I'm glad with it, really. And first of all your feedback is the most important thing why I decided to do it. I'll try to make something interesting as soon as possible, interesting for me and hopefully for you. Currency spent on the experiment, roughly: 25c. Gained, roughly: 65 c. Ima rich :D
Castle ruins map experiment - Rain of chaos
There was a castle. Now it's ruins. Wait there is something else...Rain of chaos! Shitty divination card you can say! Well at least it's not random, chaos orb is nice. So let's start! Map pool: Chisels spent: 37 Alchemies spent: 9 Chaos orbs spent: 0 Aim - find out how many chaos obrs can we get? Well guys 10 maps finished and as the result we have got 42 "Rain of chaos" cards which is 5c,approximately 4 cards per map. In addition to this, 2 "The Fox" cards dropped. As for other stuff found. Agnerod North ~ 15 c, Volley fire ~ 15 c. Currency found ~ 30 c in equivalent. Some quality gems with 28% summerized quailty, not enough for recipe. I've encounered cartographers strongbox and my map pool is as follows - T6 maps found - 8, T7-7, T8-1 ;(

 Conclusion: Currency spent ~ 25c, found ~ 30c. If I sell Stuff and Jewel + 30c. That's fine :) 1 chaos orb per 2 Castle Ruins map for me! Of course the amount of maps completed isn't quite enough to give the approximate number of this card's drop but still...TY for folowing! More is to come:) Hope you enjoyed ;)
Caer Blaidd map
Hmm that was fine. Nice drops:) Dropped in map: Dropped from the boss: That's just a beginning of my modest path. Last edited by ucoran#4216 on Nov 18, 2016, 1:58:06 PM Last bumped on Nov 20, 2016, 9:38:25 AM

"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..." Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 Last edited by Arrowneous#3097 on Nov 14, 2016, 8:26:07 PM

I actually have a game where you roll a dice every day and it decides what you get to do.
The final goal is enlightenment though, not more return then 16 quay maps. Sounds fun, keep it up and enjoy \o Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Everything is fantastic until you start to get one shooted and you cant level :D
Then you start playing other games to feel fantastic again. |

" More happiness is coming :D |

I look forward to seeing more results.. Keep enjoying and playing and I hop the RNG gods are with you.

" Seems like RNG has been on my side recently :D Glad you like the topic! More interesting stuff is planned. |

Try Coutyards mayby, it has fairly weak bosses so it's possible to roll somewhere-nasty mods and do fine. Plus tripple the boss-tripple the loot. And last but not least, emperor's luck may make you swim in armour scraps ;)
Burn all the orbs!

" Hah Armour's scraps are definitely what I need :) Well I think I will collect more of these maps and we we'll see how many of emperor's luck cards we will get. P.S - have plenty of them already so trading them to Tasuni will be in this topic for sure :) |
