DIscovering MAPPING in Path of Exile for the first time

Leave the Karui shores and head to your hideout. You should have access to all the NPCs and the map device from the privacy of your own custom built hideout. It's much more comfy than being in the epilogue town.

[@jarede3724]

The unique Champion Kite Shield that dropped for you is rare and quite good for some builds. It is called The Aegis Aurora. Glad you're having fun!

[@wumi2419]

If you hold alt while you hover mouse over a map, it shows whether you have completed it already. It's most useful in Kirak missions, as he often gives you maps you haven't found yet. And completing more maps means more altas passives. You should try to kill most mobs in a map. No need to run around looking for monsters if there are under 50 remaining, but you should kill most packs. Comparing to D4, maps are kind of like nightmare dungeons, you do them mostly for loot. And there are various league mechanics that increase amount of loot you get and often give some items that you can only get from said mechanic. For example breach (purple hands you found twice) spawns a bunch of additional monsters (more items and exp) and you get breach splinters and breach rings. Most league mechanics also have some form of a boss/hard content. In case of breach, it's breachlords, access to whom you get by collecting breach splinters. Breachlords drop uniques that you can't get anywhere else. For expeditions (explosive placement) you sometimes get logbooks, which have more expedition, expedition lore and expedition bosses. All 10 "main" mechanics work like that. Basically, you do them and if you like that mechanic and do it a lot, you sometimes can do better version of that mechanic. You also have essences, strongboxes, rogue exiles and tormented spirits. They spawn in maps, but do not have their own endgame, although all of these are rewarding. (rogue exiles not so much)

[@seanjohnston565]

Act 10 is the end of the tutorial. Filling out your atlas and reaching t15 maps is the early game. Carrying out your league strat and investing 50+ divines into your build is midgame. Finishing up pinnacle bosses and becoming rich is late game and pushing level 100 and min maxing this build or starting your second build to invest your several 100's of divines is the end game. Having fun, making meme character builds, and bricking your mageblood is the post game.

[@Toksyuryel]

The things you've been calling "seasonal content" are not seasonal content, those are all core features that were implemented into the game permanently after first being introduced in a league. And that applies to many things you don't realize- shrines, strongboxes, tormented spirits, ascendancy classes, were all league mechanics once. Don't ignore these things, they are important parts of the game and your progression. The actual league mechanic for the current league is something you should be doing now too, once you reach maps is when you are supposed to start doing it.

[@shinoossan]

That was interesting to see newcomer in maps, and I agree that it's quite complicated. I try to collect here few tips: - 6-links collect always those, those are really good to have, don't vendor them but keep in stash so if you make another character you get right away 6-linked item for it. - For start I would recommend not to use map crafting at (when you put map you can select for example Fortune Favours the Brave) at start because Chaos orbs (what those cost) are common currency in trade. - When doing maps, "white" maps needs to be magic quality, yellow maps needs to be rare quality and red maps needs to rare + corrupted (Using vaal orb on them). - Items can 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes, I recommend enabling in Options -> Ui -> In items section, Show Full Description, that helps to see how many prefixes and suffixes you have, and then craft in crafting bench something good for yourself in spare slots. - Atlas Passives, I would recommend taking Essences and as many maps passives (more map drops) as you can at first

[@cooper5602]

Just to add on: corrupting an item (including a map) means that it can potentially have up to 8 modifiers. 4 prefixes and 4 suffixes, making them more dangerous but more rewarding.

[@Keron250]

The fact he got aegis kinda cracks me lmao

[@TheShitpostExperience]

Was gonna say that, he started maps with 6L weap and armor, bunch of 6L at the start and then an aegis, that's a decent league start if I've ever seen one.

[@guilhermegoncalves3197]

whats an aegis if you dont mind to explain? I am kinda new to the game too and never heard of it lol

[@TheShitpostExperience]

@@guilhermegoncalves3197 It's a unique shield that he dropped, unique champion kite shield. It can have up to around 1000 armor and 250 energy shield, plus resistances, regen energy shield when you block and other things. With good armor/ES roll it can be hella expensive to get (I've never gotten one in SSF).

[@cameronbacon4579]

aegis is an amazing unique shield. It gives several bonuses, but the part that makes it really good is the modifiier "recover energy shield equal to 2% of armor on block". With a lot of energy shield and an insane amount of armor, as well as max block chance, you will constantly be gaining a ton of energy shield back as you go through maps, so its very strong defensively. SOme builds even stack millions of armor making them recover thousands of ES per block

[@blazernitrox6329]

​@@guilhermegoncalves3197 to follow up, the reason Aegis Aurora is so good is because not only is it a fairly beefy shield, it gives +5% max cold res (a huge amount), and it's main gimmick is that whenever you block, you instantly recover some Energy Shield. By taking Glancing Blows (double block chance/take 65% of damage from blocked hits) and getting your attack and spell block up, you can end up taking less damage from the weaker mobs than you recover, making you essentially immortal. Even against bosses, that recovery basically makes most hits just do less damage _after calculation_, and considering your goal is to reduce incoming damage by as much as possible, for some hits that could be half or more of the hit, giving you really good survivability against bosses.

[@PrinceCahil]

the whole time i was just wishing he would put that one point into the mana leech lmao

[@tutiso]

yeah even his POB has life/mana attack leech small node next to the accuracy one he was going, and skipped it, woulda solved his mana problems easily :D

[@spbalance]

This here is the typical result of following build guides when you are new and why its a bad idea. You just copy the pob without understanding why or to what end exactly you are choosing those passives. He ignores all rares on the ground because the pob has different basetypes. Meanwhile there could be stuff lying there with all the res he needs. Get to know the game, then look up a few guides.

[@aldodzb]

@@spbalance Without following the pob you are never taking that node, he would be in the same situation. He doesn't know what to do to fix the mana sustain. The only difference is that if you follow the pob in the right way, you can actually do it right. Not even mentioning that he wouldn't be in maps at this point and specially with his current strength (power) without a guide. You need to understand that people quit a game if its boring for a few hours, poe is a massive game and guides allow people to see the game, have fun and learn about the game.

okay, tormented spirits can ''touch'' normal and magic mobs (they get the little flame above their head) and possess rares and uniques, the former gives some small bonuses both to their attacks (or adding additional effects like them exploding on death) as well as their rewards, while the ladder can give them big boosts to specific drops, like make the mob drop a lot of currency or drop corrupted items. you would ideally try to get them to posses rares or uniques if possible, cause killing them in their spirit form doesn't give any good loot really.

You can sell any 3 of the same map to the vendor for 1 random map of the next higher tier, but the randomness varies between each individual map ITEM, not the map TYPE. So if you have 5 Glacier maps, selling 3 may get you a Fields map, but swapping out one (or more) of those 3 Glacier maps with a different one will give you a DIFFERENT Tier 2 map. This is a life saver for filling out your atlas. ALSO if you do a Kirak mission it refreshes his shop inventory so you can buy more maps.

[@josephstafford7741]

Adding different sacrifice fragments with a map increases item quantity drop. Also if you get Scarabs you can add those into the map device as well. Also you can upgrade maps. You need chartographers chisels and orbs of alchemy. Use the chisels first to increase the quality 5% each time capping at 20% Then hit it with an orb of alchemy to turn it into a rare map. If you alchemy it first they will only go up 1% each chisel. So instead of spending 4 chisels you would have to spend 20. So always chisel first. Also you can corrupt the map with Vaal orbs but thats a gamble. It might increase the item rarity/quantity to a higher value like 120% to item quantity or rarity, it could stay the absolute same a do nothing, it can decrease the value of item quant/rarity and switch monster modifiers, or there is a chance that it changes the map into a different map(which i dont like due to specific item farming on certain maps.) However if you don't corrupt the map and you dont like the modifiers on the map you can hit it with a orb of scouring changing the map back into an unmodded gray map again still with 20% quality, then hit it with another orb of alchemy to get another rare map with new modifiers. You could use chaos orbs to just reroll a yellow map. But i wouldnt suggest doing that, as you will be finding all the other currencies I stated above much more often. Save your chaos orbs for things you want to buy, or for crafting. Edit: Btw corrupting just like with the maps as I explained above does essentialy the same thing as what it does with maps. It can add extra modifiers to a piece of gear making it even better, it can do absolutely nothing except putting a corrupt display on the item making it unable to be rerolled unless you have scourge currencies, or it might change the item into a different item of the same type. Like changing a legendary back into a rare of the same item type. Also what you are saying are seasonal aren't exactly, your half right. They are called league mechanics and they are just part of the base game, some seasons league mechanics were so well recieved they were just put in the game as event style mechanics that randomly appear throughout maps. Some you found through the campain but they are more frequent in maps and you can use the atlas to specialize in specific league mechanics you like through the Atlas,scarabs, etc. that way if there is a league mechanic you find you dont like you can specificaly remove it through the atlas tree. Wether or not you pick them (like the rogue exile) before starting a map doesn't mean it wont be in a map. All that does is force that league mechanic to be on that map.

[@odst818]

The purple hands are called Breaches and they are one of my favorite mechanics :) As you saw when you touch them they spread out temporarily. When they spread they reveal monsters you couldn't previously interact with and tiny hands you can open like loot chests. There is unique loot types you can only get from breaches (mostly): Breach rings - these are just rings that are twice as good while you're standing in a breach. They aren't very good for general mapping content unless you specifically build around them with a special skill gem that's super rare. However! You can collect 60 (full inventory) of them and sell all 60 at once to get a special type of body armour with unique modifiers. Breach splinters - These are a collectable. There are 5 types each corresponding to one of 5 Breach Lords (end game boss). Collect 100 of the same type and they will make a breachstone which is a special map that brings you to the breach lord's domain. They have special uniques only they can drop when you beat them. You wont get breachstones very often unless you spec into the breach mechanic on the atlas tree.

[@TurtlesC4nFly]

2 things: - If you press TAB you see in the top right how many enemies are left.

the way temple incursion works (if you want to play) is they give you time limit which would be increased the more mobs you kill (which would upgrade the room you are in). at the same time there is a key that drops that you can use to unlock doors that connect to other rooms. Once all incursion is completed, you can finally enter the temple according to what room you unlock, if you connect all the rooms, you can go through and fight the boss

The Maven = Lilith, basically. She's one of the harder pinnacle bosses and necessary for getting one of the Voidstones that unlock further options for customizing your maps. Two other pinnacle bosses are on this 'main track' but there are others you can fight. Accessing their uber versions is done through keystones on the atlas passive tree for all but the oldest one, Atziri. She has a built in damage reflect, so be careful. Breach (the purple circle) is kill all the purple guys, yes. The Tormented ghosts need to possess a rare or higher mob. That makes the mob stronger, but also buffs their loot table, so if you can, try not to kill the ghosts early! They turn boss mobs into loot goblins! Crafting is complicated, but like all things in PoE, one thing at a time. White maps need to be blue (magic) in order to get the point from them, Yellow maps need to be Rare and Red maps need to be Rare and corrupted which you can do manually with a vaal orb. Have fun!

Just a few recommendations: 1. Customize your hideout or find a cool premade hideout of your liking. There is a map device in your hideout and all relevenat vendors are available to you there. 2. Hold Alt while mousing over a rare item to see which mods are suffixes or prefixes. Rare items can have up to 3 suffixes and 3 prefixes. You can use the crafting bench in your hideout to craft on a mod you need if the item is not full on affixes. This is tremendously helpful for your resistances (I think your amulet has an open suffix for an additional resist mod). 3. Read your map mods haha.

[@MrCrazylegs86]

I just came from him playing all the campaign to this video. I’d say he’s definitely improved. Wow I’m proud of you dude

[@Deivid84z]

If you hold alt while hovering over a map it will tell you if you have completed it and if you have done the bonus objective, you don't need the map tab just for that

[@Axlerod99]

In the settings menu you can turn off screen shake:) Also you should try to be clearing the maps, especially this early on

[@CCSplinters]

You can press alt and highlight a map to see if you already finished the map for atlas completion. To solve mana problems, you can just take 1 mana leech node just on the right side of the mana nodes you put your points into. You don't need the mana nodes, just mana leech nodes. Those mana nodes are important if you're using a lot of auras. For tormented spirits, don't kill it. Let it pass through mobs as it will upgrade them and provide better rewards. Tormented spirits can posses uniques or elite monsters if they see it which makes a tougher fight but better rewards. It's not worth it at earlier maps but you can test it out just to see. For maps, selling 3 of the same name to the vendor gives you 1 random map of 1 tier higher. Selling 3 strand maps (t3) will result random t4 map. Also, same map types can be good for you. If you have a map layout that you liked, (i like fields) i can do that map over and over again and put a lot of modifiers to famr better items just because that map is comfortable for me to run.

[@eduardoflavio6494]

I loved watching your progression with the game, my first time playing Poe i dropped on early game than i came back a year later and never left, the complexity of the game is often a complain for new players, but when you start to understand things that complexity start to involve you, was nice to see you're exitement about learning stuff, this video marks for me when you became a real exile! Hanamoana! =D

[@Jr.lll4]

There is a small note on the path to Precise Technique in the skill tree that gives you mana leech.

[@mokiflove]

Yeah Maps are just a nice way to tackle the "Endgame" There are the "Base" Maven Invitations where you fight map bosses and there are the "Special Ones" like Formed/Elderslayers/Feared which let you fight Multiple Endgame Bosses at the same time

[@crypt0gyp5y3]

Watching you discover the endgame of my favourite game is one of the most wholesome things I've ever watched. ''I'll pick up this random 6 socket item, maybe I can sell it later''... cute ;) You are on the right track when you say that it's hard to work out what would be good for your build. It's the same finding items worth selling, there are SO many affixes and combinations and each affix has tiers also. 90% of the stuff you pick up is not worth anything except to vendor for alterations (rare items) or alchemy orbs (unique items). Or of course if you think it will be good for your build. Trade is an integral part of the game, intended, to get upgrades for your build. Also, you can buy maps from other players on trade. This can help you fill out your atlas passives if you get bad rng and can't get a specific map to drop. GGz on smashing the maven invitation and I shared your excitement first time doing end game bossing stuff too. There is waaay more of that to come and it gets even more exciting/rewarding. Wish you good luck, stay sane Exile...

Be sure to open the map tab and right click the tab itself to set the affinity for that tab. Then whenever you try to put a map into your stash, it will automatically be put into your map tab (unless you hold Ctrl+Shift). You can do this with other tabs too. You should also go to your hideout and find the various lockers or place them somewhere in your hideout. Open them up and click the affinity button in the lower right corner of the screen. Then whenever you try to put something in your stash that is better placed in these lockers, the item will go into the lockers instead (like Rogue Hideout currency).

[@Liwet.]

You should consider doing the Veridian Wildwoods in each of your maps. It's the reason the league exists. The wisps you collect there will empower enemies in your maps causing them to drop greater rewards.

[@Liwet.]

Selling 3 of the same map will give you a map one tier higher. If you have more than 3 of the same map, changing which of the 3 maps you're selling can also change the map that is given back to you, so be sure to mix and match until you get a map that you want or haven't completed.

[@krokwen]

the "green thing that keep disappearing" is a tormented spirit. it can touch regular mobs to make them bit powerful, and can torment a rare mob to make him really powerful. such monsters give you more experience and better loot

[@herzallerliebst]

01:45 He did not leave the 6-links on the ground, did he? That is valuable... the 3-link chromatics aswell...

[@peterpenetration4954]

and then he finds a cold iron point and aegis aurora hahahaha, imagine this at leaguestart

[@Stellar_Lake_sys]

the silken hoods were from a hidden loot mod on the pack called treant horde, it makes all the monsters drop the same base type iirc

[@sandeepsingh9689]

loving the poe videos. I hope you keep progressing and continue to higher tier maps because I believe you will love the bosses when you get to them.

[@TheG-Tree13]

The bubble wrap description is perfect.

[@frsm_]

i just love those Beginner discovering PoE Videos. Leaves 4 Sixlinks on the ground and picks up a Breachring :D Enjoy the ride my dude. Its going to be a good one ;)

[@snocone5721]

Noticed at @30:25 you are missing the 1 point life/mana leech on the right side of the tree. That would fix your mana issues. You also don't have to clear the map before the boss. It's actually pretty common to kill the boss first and then continue doing the map. Goal to be to have fewer than 50 monsters remaining in the area which you can see at the top right corner when minimap is overlay.

[@noblen6049]

Loving the videos. Also, you can right click the gem level button (on Clarity for example) when you want to hide the button (capping the level unless you manually do it from your inventory later).

[@Awakened2001]

Loved it. Your luck is actually insane. 4 6 links and an aegis of aurora that soon is great. My advice for the "seasonal content" as you call it is pick 1 thing at a time to learn after you get your foundation down. Essences are a great place to start.

[@BuzzaB77]

Jesus I've never seen a 6 link that early, never mind 4! In fact I don't usually see them until I've finished most maps on the atlas.

[@pauliusrimkus7241]

game is ez pz when someone gives you 10s of divines and six links

[@nicholaswilliams4598]

This is my first league in full, i have 2 characters between 95-97 doing whisp juiced t16s and delving, and I have never had a single mob drop multiple 6-links like that. Wild start dude lmao

[@warptens5652]

helmet has no life and no resists: Now, this, is pretty good! It really feels like you let a coin toss decide which items are good or bad especially when you decide before you even identify the item

[@takittyrin8663]

Do the season wisp mech at the start of the maps. It's pretty much free juicing without using resources. Makes it little bit challenging (careful it might make some mobs impossible to kill) and could drop better loot. Plus if you haven't finished quests in there you work towards it. I actually got 2 divines before I even finished the story because of the seasonal mech.

[@blazernitrox6329]

Some monsters (both rare and magic I believe) have a modifier that causes them to drop a large number of the same item base at the same rarity, although sockets, quality, and the specific mods on the items are rolled randomly for each. In the case of rares, it will be one mob that explodes into a load of the same item. In the case of magic mobs, each will have a high chance to drop the designated item.

[@krokwen]

to "catch the soul" of any god, you need the "divine vessel". you have to put it in map device together with map, complete the map, and then pick up the filled vessel from the map device. just use it and the soul will unlock extra feature from your panteon god. if you get divine vessed don't waste them on a random map. you need to catch specific gods for your panteon

[@Shade00a00]

the siege of the atlas thumbnail at 0:04 lol got me feeling like throwback tuesday

[@Whitewingdevil]

I've been getting the occasional lag hitch myself over the last week or so, I usually only have connection issues during a league launch, but this league is so damn juicy people are still playing.

[@karotts]

Just for your information, the strongboxes, the purple hands, the masters (alva, einhar etc) are all previous "seasonal content" that are in the core game now. So you should just interact with whatever you want and whatever you enjoy doing. Try it all out, theres so many options.

[@Liwet.]

For the Alva content, you go back in time and change the layout of a temple (her ability to keep you in the past is why there is a time limit). You can kill an architect to turn the room into something beneficial for you. After you've done 12 of these _incursions_ , you'll be able to explore the temple in the current day and reap all the rewards. If you enjoy it, I'd suggest you do it. They are meant to be done alongside your mapping. If you want, you can even force these events to happen in the map device just before you open a new map.

[@teropiispala2576]

Maven thing is one part of the boss fights, which gives you possibility to get very valuable items and other benefits. There's four big bosses, which give you items called voidstones, which is one more mechanism to modify and improve maps. You can roll those modifiers with sextants, which you'll find from maps. A little warning is in place about those bosses and some smaller ones. It's not goid idea to go into those fights without some preparation. There are mechanics you need to avoid, or you'll be single shotted too many times to be fun. Many times you need to do dozens of maps to get new invitation, or pay bug money to buy one.

[@scottcampbell9456]

I love your style nyx, so clean and fresh. Keep up the good work bro.

[@GETTINGBARCLAYD]

seeing someone so new experiences this for the first time is so cozy and cute

[@ulruc]

Also, there is a way to import your own character into POB. Not just as a standalone but in the POB you are following as a distinct tree as a way to compare you tree to the guide more easily.

[@MrRavager420]

mana cost is most always solved for melee early by taking the single attack dmg leech node on skill tree. things to look for on gear early on is life and res. gloves can roll attack speed and boots movement speed. GG boots and gloves have that and life/res. only later on will you need to worry about influenced item bases and what they are capable of rolling. those 12 sundering axes that dropped could have been very nice. although the base isnt the best base for boneshatter (thatd be the despot axe because its the fastest 2h axe), they could have had a solid phys and attack speed roll

[@klawypl]

if you look at atlas maps map, you will see which have "roads" connecting those, that means that they are connected and they have way higher chance to drop a map that is connected to it. also map stash its not only way to show completed uncompleted maps, without it you also get this information when hovering with alt on them

[@kmoustakas]

The fact you're doing so well with a build guide is actually depressing. I just got to start a map for the first time and obviously got destroyed

[@tylerodom5898]

Fun watching you get into mapping, this is where you get hooked lol. One tip on figuring out which items are good, if you download path of building and import your character, you can just copy past the item you are curious about and it will calculate your dps changes etc

[@hanhha1376]

Watching him activate all his map in kaorui shore kinda hurts my soul a little bit for some reason..lol

[@GameGW935]

While hovering over a map you can hold ALT and it will tell you if you already completed the bonus objective. Also to get the bonus objective you need to finish white maps as magic, yellow as rare and red as rare and corrupted.
