Farm bosses, run lots of IIR, youll be vendoring uniques because you cant give them away. If you are unique hunting, you have to min max for the best results. Bosses are guaranteed loot pinatas and quick and easy to get to. HAIL SATAN!	Posted by tramshed#4306 on Jan 21, 2014, 7:33:55 AM Quote this Post

I've done lot's of Lunaris Temple runs in Merciless and Piety drops lot's of mostly blue and yellow crap. Once in a while she will drop a low level unique but I've never seen a high value yet (I'm level 71). What player level is needed to get better quality drops from Merciless Merveil? Do you need to run with much IIQ or IIR? I prefer Piety to Merv. When I farm Piety on Nemesis I run 241iir/30iiq, and she drops a unique about once per 10-15 runs. I am level 88, and I solo farmed her from 64-86. Best drop was an Aegis Aurora about 400 hours ago, and nothing else worth mentioning since. You just need patience when farming her, and don't expect more than 1 good item for every 200-400 hours played. Tell her I sent you, and she will drop you a complimentary unique pirate hat. Thanks for the info. I was afraid you were going to say something like this that you must play 100s of hours per good rare or unique drop. Damn these arpg devs. Same reason I quit D3 is the same reason I'm burning out on PoE. 100s of hours of time played and extremely little to show and enjoy for my efforts. Sigh! :( If it weren't for the passive tree and build diversity I'd be finished with PoE too. At 1 year and 3 months PoE has held my attention for the longest but even my enjoyment and reasons to keep grinding are running out. I know there are all levels of arpg playing skills but damn, I don't keep exact track of my playing time but at about 25 hours a week that means I might see a good rare or unique drop about once a month. This isn't much better than the crap that D3 was dishing out (never got a set item to drop in D3 for about 500 hours played). Maybe RoS will change things for the better for the time limited arpg player. There must be a better way to make an arpg that doesn't prevent time limited arpg fans from enjoying the full game. I know that all uber players are loving PoE (and probably D3 too) since they are mostly young and have lot's of time to play but the rest of the "real life" players who can only squeeze in a few hours a day to play are left out once again. GGG could make a casual league if it weren't for the constant drumming of "more hardcore" that is ever present. I know GGG devs love the grind but damn, there are millions of "would be" PoE players if the time sink wasn't so steep. GGG is certainly passing over a ton of new players and new revenue by keeping the grind factor so extreme. "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.

Even for the 12 hour a day losers like myself, it's too much. I don't mind grinding, as long as I am progressing. As a solo player in Nemesis, 12 hours a day just isn't enough, and I can't give any more.	Posted by nGio#1658 on Jan 21, 2014, 8:02:38 AM Quote this Post
Why you playing solo? Why you should try Harcore http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/209310/page/1	Posted by tadl#0113 on Jan 21, 2014, 8:05:05 AM Quote this Post

The grind I don't mind, but a Korean MMO grind based on partying, trading, and economies just isn't fun.

" tadl wrote: Why you playing solo? Public games is crap and I only have 2 friends that are into arpg games and they are even more casual a player than I am. So it's mostly solo for me. Yes, I am clearly aware that group players earn XP and get more drops faster because clearing maps is faster but that's a GGG play balance fault and not exclusively my fault for playing solo.

simple uniques are cheap and sold for 1 chaos mostly. I personally vendor common uniques because cant be bothered.	Posted by kavinux#2534 on Jan 21, 2014, 8:14:07 AM Quote this Post

It seems quite possible. At 79, I can solo just fine and get XP, too, which will slow down at 85, but ... why is that such a huge issue? It's not the fastest, or the most profitable, but unless you aim for 100 or for a high ladder spot, why can't it be fun?	Posted by Mivo#2486 on Jan 21, 2014, 8:15:07 AM Quote this Post

Why am I playing games in my home? Why don't I play them in the "gaming clubs"? Because Why do you speak if you are not asked? Why do you imply things to a question if there is no implication at all. Or I would have wrote down more if I wanted to add more. A.W. ... Thx for the reply, I appreciate it. I play for the same reasons solo if I play solo. My own speed.
