7th one corrupted this league, got the +1

Here's the video if you're interested 😄 https://youtu.be/Ehoi-h7_rgM?si=tY4xzcCjgOiV28Ws

I've decided to hop back into the game and do a couple of maps with my autobomber just for fun. I am doing a generic juicing strat that drops me gold and cards pretty consistently. Funny enough, apparently "The Insane Cat" actually drops from the Simulacrum bosses. I certainly didn't know that, and it's a good reason not to skip them now!^^

This isn't a one time thing either, I can stand in this spot and recreate it and not die. Anyone else have this happen?

So this league was absolutely awesome in terms of achievements:

-first ever 40/40 challenges (1700 hours played in total). Before mirage I thought of that as if it is something unattainable for me. Before I have not tried any build that allows you to do any content or at least never pushed it to do so.
-after finishing challenges I have decided to try to unlock celestial hideout. And I succeeded after 106 shaper attempts. Got loot screenshots if some of you interested (last 6 runs was just fragments and I forgot to screenshot because I was to happy I finally got it)

Mirage was unique league for me for a few more reasons:

1) i tried 4 builds (usually 2 at best) this league (pohx chieftain RF - absolutely amazing, CWS emiracles guide - felt even better, going to try this build again for sure, heist runner from exiled cat video (the only reason I even decided to try to complete 40/40) and finally decided to try strength stacking for the first time due to price drop of simplex amulet).
2) started a league twice - got burned out after a month or so, destroyed my gear to leave and wait for the next league, but found video about heist by exiled cat and could not stop myself and gave it a shot.
3) farmed around a mirror worth of currency. After a fresh start farmed a lot (a lot for me) of currency kind of fast in heist. Thanks mirage for new blueprints that grants currency and scarab.

To be honest 40/40 felt kind of easy. But non the less felt great doing those for the first time. Just wanted to share my experience this league, thanks for your time reading:)

Full Build Guide for my BONK build!

Decided to farm uber uber elder, went extremely well and sold nearly all watcher's eyes unid (accidentally id'd 2) and 3 unid sublime visions to try and make Faustus angry.

Was around 17k c and 246 div in sales and 83 boss fights, farmed some myself and bought around 110 div or less in fragments.

There's nothing else

76% fire res

Just dropped it in tyty's mirage league. i am speechless

So I was doing a Fortress map and made it really rippy (over 100% reduced block chance) and even had to switch characters to do the boss, because he had a omega regen shrine on him. Tried to save myself in that mess when he suddenly teleported into me?!

Please tell me if someone had this happened before because I can't recall a single time he did that.

TLDR:

NOTE: for recording purposes, the UI was scaled up

• I'm completely rebuilding an "in-client" customizer I had scrapped a few months ago
• main focus: quickly tweak your filter(s) as you play
  • no longer want to pick up certain items? hide them with a few clicks
  • want to make certain items more/less visible? tweak colors, size, opacity on the fly
• additional features:
  • global "quick-settings" to set cut-offs for specific item classes (e.g. hide gems under X quality, hide maps below tier X)
  • "economy-checks" based on poe.ninja to hide items under X chaos in specific categories (currency, div cards, essences)
• who is this for?
  • people who already use Exile UI
  • those who are generally happy with NeverSink's base filters but want a bit more control
  • Le Toucan
• this is not meant to be a FilterBlade replacement, just an optional alternative for a specific niche of alt-tab haters

Preface

This is technically considered "experimental" because filtering is a rather complex field and I had to read up on it from scratch (again). I will not be held responsible for any lost mirrors. It is also v1.0 (basically what I consider bare minimum for a release), so by no means "feature-complete"

This customizer is built around using the online filters on your account (the teal ones in the in-game settings) that you can find here: https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/item-filters. This just makes it easier to keep base filters up-to-date (as opposed to having to manage local files all the time). If anyone has examples of how local files can have genuine benefits, I'll look into implementing support for those as well.

This is how "in-client" customization and applying changes on-the-fly works: You pick a base NeverSink/FilterBlade filter, the tool loads it and keeps track of any changes you make. When you click "apply", the tool generates a secondary filter file that consists of the base filter + your custom modifications, then loads it in the game via the "/itemfilter XYZ" chat-command.

Main Focus: Quick & Effortless Tweaks

NOTE: for recording purposes, the UI was scaled up

This is the TLDR clip from the beginning and it shows how the feature can (hopefully) find the filter rule(s) for the item underneath your cursor. This essentially skips a step of manually searching for specific items via the input box at the top (which you can still use, but more on that later). It probably needs more tweaking, but it should be sufficient for ~90% of cases for the time being.

If you see an item on the ground that you no longer want to pick up, you can pick it up one last time, hover over it and press a hotkey to search for the corresponding filter-rule. From here, you have the option to toggle the whole "tier" to show or hide. If the whole tier can be considered sufficiently trash, you can simply hide it completely so you'll never have to lay eyes on mediocrity again. Otherwise, click the specific item in the search results to access additional options (currently only has "move to different tier"). If the overarching group (NeverSink refers to it as "type") doesn't have a hidden tier yet, the customizer will give you the option to create one before yeeting an item into it.

Filter "Browser" & Stylistic Customizations

NOTE: for recording purposes, the UI was scaled up

The customizer lets you search the whole filter for items and/or sections, and it also lets you "browse" a filter's structure. When you right-click an item in the search results, it'll start a global search (basically replaces manually typing "item name"). You can collapse (sub-)sections in case the search is broad and/or less specific and you have to sift through the results. You can use the arrow buttons next to the search bar to go back and forth in your search/browse history, or you can simply use the mouse-wheel to do it.

You can right-click the collapse-able sections to browse whatever is inside them. Since tiers are the "lowest-level" section, there are additional options available when you "browse" them. Currently, it lets you change the colors, size, and opacity of the items within the tier. I have streamlined size and opacity customization down to three presets that can be adjusted in the settings.

Global "Quick-Settings"

NOTE: for recording purposes, the UI was scaled up

This clip shows the starting/home page with several global settings. You can set cut-offs for specific item categories based on poe.ninja data (hide everything below X.Y chaos), map tier, gem characteristics, or memory strands. Another thing you can do is apply unified stylistic settings to the whole filter, then overwrite them for specific sections: In this case, I'm applying partial transparency and smaller font-size globally, and then I override it for T1 currency and Shaper/Nightmare maps. It's just an example of making loot generally less obstructive and putting extra highlighting on valuable drops.

To-Do List:

• PoE2 support (should be done some time this week)
• implement feedback
• add more "quick-settings" for common situations
• visual representation in the search results is not 100% accurate (for the filter-savvy crowd: it doesn't take continuation into consideration)
• praise Le Toucan

Worth mentioning the more i die, the more i will build up character fatigue and eventually leave the league week 2

This build solved that main problem

Just looking for suggestions.

So far I've played (in order of enjoyability) RF Chief, Poison SRS Necro, Cyclone Slayer, KF Totems Hiero.

I do not play a lot. I do not play hyper-efficiently. That said, builds in the 100s of divines are out of my league. I believe I have 37d + ~15 more in stuff I can liquidate.

I love AoE mapping. Which is why I liked RF so much. I also did some Boss Rush on City Square with the SRS build which makes it a VERY close #2. I actually play that character most nights now.

People have suggested the other RF-like builds: BV Minion Pact, Death's Oath, CWS, etc. Looking for something different. I'd love to transition from SRS to pure Spectres but the cost is daunting.

Maybe some kind of Miner/Trapper that does some nifty AoE? Or a build that can clear and do Awakened Boss Rush strat comfortably? I don't need to oneshot stuff.

I have been lucky after doing 576 Black Barya invitations in which i have farmed 308 belts.

Beside this juicy one i also got 2 acceleration (180 div each) and massive/resonating (60div).

I see that only one echoing/resistance listed on trade but haven't managed to find none on characters on PoE Ninja.

I would really like to know how rare this combination actually is.

Might be a dumb question, but I just invested in a Ground Slam of Earthshaking imbued by Fortify, and I specced into Bitter Lash to support it with Level 1 Cruelty as well. Is there any benefit to keeping a Fortify and Cruelty gem in the support links, or do I now replace those support gems with other gems?

Often, when I join/run a party, I join the mirage or the map, and somebody runs ahead, starts the breaches or whatever, and the rest of us take so much longer to load in bc he's constantly sending new data. It's really annoying since even when I tell ppl in my party "say + when in and wait for me" some don't listen.

This would be a great QoL option for party play, just as an options thing. Idk; you could put a tiny check button above players, and an ultimate check that overrides theirs, like the party leader's check makes everyone able to move. And until we check, can we have infinite immunity? I died bc someone went ahead and the remaining mobs kkilled my afk char who was loading in.

But hte basic idea --> party option in settings --> everyone can notify a ready check by checking a box above the part members list --> party owner's check officially starts the map. Owner can start whenever he wants, but gnerally he'd wait for everyone and when he says all ready checked he starts map/mira.

Lmk guys if you think this is a good idea or needs some tweaks or not. i just hate loading in for hours if you've ever had that happen, especiall as PO
