Been having no luck with drops lately. Thinking about just rerolling. Having trouble selling things on standard too. =(
Been having no luck with drops lately. Thinking about just rerolling. Having trouble selling things on standard too. =(
I haven't sold a damned thing this league and the drops have really sucked.
I fired up my Saw Paw Reeve last night (had to reallocate all points) and was SHOCKED at how much freaking loot I had from that league.
Don't feel too bad, smackababy. I can't sell shit in Standard, I've given up on doing so and taken down my shop because literally the only messages I ever got on my Standard shop are wildly lowball offers (for a little while I was getting offers in the 40c range for a brittle emperor card daily, not sure why) or "hi" buyers who don't specify league, item name, listed buyout, or literally anything to help me sell them the item they want.
Had an amusing trade in Talisman yesterday. I had a The Hunger card for sale, listed buyout 30c. I had gotten some 20-25c offers but hadn't taken any. Finally got a guy offered the buyout, invite him, in the trade window he puts 25c and 20 fusings (which, if you know currency conversion rates, is about 35c). I hit accept because of course I did, then I politely told him "thanks for trade, in the future please let sellers know you would like to pay with alternate currency, most of us are happy to work with you and few like surprises". His reply? "suck a dick". I happily advised him that he just paid 35c for a 30c buyout and put him on ignore.
I mean, if the guy had said "hey, I want The Hunger, I only have 25c, what other currency do you want to make up the other 5c?" I would have absolutely worked with him *and* made sure to give him a fair value for his alt currency (10 fuses, in this case). Being a dick just meant I got to gloat in his face that he ripped himself off. Just bizarre.
I don't have to much difficulty selling. I always undercut, though. If I have an item that I won't ever use on my alts, I see no reason to hold out for a few more chaos orbs.
I guess I like to liquefy my assets immediately. Almost anything I have is up for sales, flasks, talisman, etc... You never know who wants them. I am always surprised.
If my rares sit too long, I use the chaos recipe and get a whole new fresh.
Not sure how much, but I have 1 ex, 1 div, 5 blessed, 150 chaos, 200 jewelers, 40 fusings, 800 alts... and some other odds and ends in Talisman. Pretty pleased overall since I don't have a ton of time invested. I might have 40-50 hours into the league.
The high clear speed builds (Vaal spark, ED) can do high level maps for the most part. Atziri is difficult but that is just because they don't have much in terms of sustained single target dos.
Once I hit 82 I sort of lost interest in the league... Leveling up takes such a long time. I have only died 3 times on that character, no deaths passed L70. But it is still SLOW. Done a few T8 maps. But they were not dropping anything better than T1, or so it seems. Then I went and did the Aqueduct, because they was giving me the best currency overall... Humility cards go for 3-4c and I have gotten like 15 or so since running the aqu like 50 times. It took 30 full clears to level up from 81 to 82.
I want to hit L90, but I am having trouble finding the will to grind it out.
BTW - I am ware that at L81 I was only getting ~25% XP from the aqueduct... I'd have to run a 72 map to get 100%. Which I don't mind doing. Bottom line, though it is a tedious process.
Well, I made it to 90 last week. The best items I dropped on the way were a Romira's Banquet and two Wings of Entropy. Both are attainable for a chaos orb.
So I'm done for a bit... I'll play the new D3 season for a week or so and wait for Ascendancy to drop. Hopefully I'll be a little more lucky next time around.
not sure if that's 30 full clears of maps or 30 full clears of Aqueduct
going from 81-82 should just take around 10 runs (less runs if you're doing higher level maps) of Lvl 71 maps and those should be pretty obtainable.
Best odds are using vorici "1 blue" craft, 4 chromes per try, ~2% chance of success per try.
Next-best would be using vorici "2 blue", which has about a 10% success chance. Costs 25 chromes per try.
I wouldn't do any other attempt than one of those two.
He did 30 aqueducts to level up. He'd level far, far faster if he'd do appropriate-level content.
I actually did 2 aqueduct runs last night @lvl82... and TOTAL it gave me 2%
I'm sick of trying to level at 80+ it's a pain in the ass. You hit one bad boss or some unique that reflects and you just wasted 20 mins.
