Contrary to the Popular Belief, this League has actually been a lot better for Mid-High Crafting

So anyways glad to hear your mid-tier crafting (with lucky fracture drops, exalt slams, and essence spam) is going great! Seems fun!

My goodness.




Why are you trying to act like mid-tier crafting is garbage when after 93 levels in trade league you're wearing trash that people vendored on day 1? Just stop, LOL.

Meh idgaf, my gear isnt even that bad for the small amount of time I played this legaue. Is what it is. Got me well into red maps before I shut it down.

Keep up the good fight though! I'm always here for KMQ to tell everyone how it really is out there.

Anyone who needs a good laugh need only scroll through your post history. You reputation is well earned if anything.

KMQ i need you to work faster, 800 pds axes are still at 2.5 divine and not 1 divine. and since divine are 1.5 more expensive than exalts last league, it s in fact 3.7 equivalent to last league. what are you doing ? i thought you had it better this league ? pick up those sweet fractured items plz

This whole post is just a bunch of strawmen and self-defeats.

Exactly my point thankyou for covering it so beautifully its been wonderful to see you build a house of cards entirely off a pillar of fractured items, you could at least give the strawman two legs.

> wouldn't know mid tier crafting if forced to do it under torture

> thinks new harvest is better than even TFT garbage despite getting 1/20th of the crafts

> loves multimodding with inflated divine prices

> thinks essences are cheaper when they've been basically free every league since atlas passives

you gotta to admit, the gif is epic

So basically fractured items saved the league. I agree completely.

I hope GGG leaves Harvest fracture alone and keeps costs and availability right where they are right now. I hope the fractured item explosions from mobs stay right where they are right now. It's a crutch that the community desperately needs with the constant nerfs.

Let's be real though they're probably going to make Harvest fracture 10x more expensive and reduce the quantity of fractured item drops by 90% because they don't want people to have fun.

Harvest fracturing is actually pretty expensive. 20 divines to hit the mod you want is reasonable.

I wouldn't be pessimistic about it. I think they are going even deeper on it as now there are fractured flask mods too.

I haven't played (properly) since Scourge so this was my first league with the new Atlas tree system.

I don't really fully agree with your list, but I agree with the overall point. For me, a bunch of things made mid (low high?) tier crafting more accessible:
- Cheap Essences
- Cheap Awakener's Orbs
- Cheap Synthesis bases (ilvl 80 but that's good enough)

I crafted most of my own gear until I was almost done with the league, at which point I bought some expensive stuff. Had more fun crafting than usual.

I do think the new Harvest is pretty bad though. In the past I often made gear to sell by carrying around crafting bases to spam the Harvest chaoses on. It's just worse than before for low investment crafting. Outside Lock Prefix/Suffix+Reforge and changing resistances on my gear, I barely used it. Fracturing is improved but I never bothered myself.
