How to make orbs - PoE version

owing to an error on the part of yours truly, this lowbie run is messed up. I will have to redo it at a later date.

I believe one of the devs stated recently in a race thread that orbs don't drop more often at low levels. The advantage of this build is it is easy to over-gear a lowbie with iir/iiq gear, especially with uniques like Sadima's Touch, which makes the runs quick and efficient.

A run at a high level with better iir/iiq, if it killed mobs just as quickly, would be more efficient, but it's harder to gear a char at higher levels to do so.

ouch.

could you continue this run from Forest to Fellshrine dungeon and post those results?

Sorry, I can't I deleted the character right after doing the run :(

If you are in default league, just farm ledge and suicide after every run so you don't overlevel... seems like it would be much more efficient and optimizing gear for level 8 could give you a lot more IIQ.

These low level "races" are actually kind of fun. Blew through a ton of alts/trans to make some IIQ gear for lowbies, bought low roll Perandus belt/the lvl 1 IIQ gloves, GOldwyrm, and the lvl 8 rarity ammy. Still haven't gotten a belt or chest to roll IIQ, but it's actually pretty enjoyable to try to rush through Act 1 and 2 as fast as possible. And being on HC, this is doubly challenging because those items don't really have life.

First Trial Run (through Fellshrine):



Had 14% IIQ. Looking forward to getting higher IIQ and seeing what will yield in future runs.

Chestpieces and belts/shields don't roll IQ or IR as a stat.

Also Perandus blazon is pretty much the only MF belt there is.

Hope this was of assistance.

Im about to start trying out this method as well.
3/5th of my major currency drops were before brutus so far.


I just need some IIQ rings, helm and maybe some boot with iiq instead of wondertraps

The weapon is BY far the best for a low lv by a huge margin. I can take a char all the way to act 2 cruel with it. like 250 DPS at lv 8.

edit

So I just did a run to brutus with this gear


On the way to brutus I did mud flats 3 times and rocky climb twice
found this

plus 9 gems including the rewards and on of which was an 8% dual strike before hillock


took maybe 30 min to run to brutus keeping low life most of the time after lv 7 since the sword has 30% run speed on low life.

from levels 2-7 you can max out at 64 IIQ
8-9 64 IIQ and 20 IIR
10-15 64 IIQ and 50 IIR
and at lv 16 126 IIQ and 50 IIR since you get the blazon belt and the "thief's" IIQ prefix max of 10 IIQ

i spent about 50 alterations to get the 5 iiq items and found sadmas

from brutus to mervail

Thanks for your contribution to.

If anybody else is willing to post their results I will be happy to accept them.
