another easy tip for early mapping softcore players is to: If you e.g. have ritual in the map -> clear the mobs first to get the map completion and after that backtrack and do all the rituals (and contradictory to poe1 DO NOT wait to clear all the altars before the rewards because if you clear 3/4 altar and die, you will lose everything).

I started doing this for every mechanic (expedition, breach, ritual) so map completion isn’t at risk.

[@yoelezequieldemedici2545]

You can CTRL+click to put maps in the reforge 3to1 Sometimes while doing the Boss maps, they have a good chance of dropping maps HIGHER level than what you are doing. Now, if you are doing the Tier 7 maps quest but have no tier 7 maps but a boss dropped a tier 8, any map of higher tier than what they are asking you will count towards completions. Mind that you later will be asked to do tier 8, 9, etc so you may end up without higher tier maps if you keep doing that (food for today, hunger for tomorrow).

The atlas node on the left that duplicates a rare is really good along with any ones that increase % for more rare mobs. I run a treasure hunter build with 160% rarity. You can barely tell any difference from a 3% more rarity node on the atlas, but running a map with a rarity or quant mod like 30% or 100% does make a huge difference. Got my first Divine and Perfect Jewelers Orbs over the weekend.

[@andrewjackson1915]

Zizaran any chance on making a guide for all of mapping for those of us who have never played POE before you used a lot of words like juicing and affixs on maps that I don’t understand

[@captaintoet1983]

Those stats you get on magic/rare/unique gear are affixes. You can have them on maps too. Magic can have 2 affixes (1 prefix and 1 suffix). Rare items can get 6 affixes (3 prefixes and 3 suffixes). Juicing means getting affixes that boost your loot drops and map drops. That ties too more difficulty though

[@mattcross1859]

Juicing = adding rewards. In PoE1&2 this almost always comes with extra challenge as well (like tablets that give +1 area level, monsters are harder, but more rewarding). Affixes = mods on a Waystone. Transmute gives it one affix, Aug adds another, regal a third. alch a Waystone and it will get from 4-6 affixes. Affixes add to drops (juice,) but often make the Waystone more challenging. Save your juiciest Waystones for locations that will also offer good rewards (bosses, content you want like breach or ritual, areas buffed by tablets, etc...)

[@richstrong2415]

Zizaran, big fan, once we get a bit more into this, it would be amazing to have another poe(2) university series. The first one was phenomenal

[@BryanThePirate]

I've found that if you regal/alc a t4+ map you're basically guaranteed at least an exalt back (You can get several alcs for one exalt too).

[@GDemarco]

fr?

[@BryanThePirate]

@@GDemarco frfr! I almost always get at least one raw exalt or enough currency to equal at least one exalt. Having 3-5 modifiers on a map makes a huge difference, especially when you combine it with towers. Waystones drop so much more too.

[@danielsecara]

We need a map stash tab soooo badly. Thanks for vid and take care!

[@TrowSonny]

Another tip, if a map has a breach/rituals/expedition on it, complete it before doing the activity. So that if you die, you still completed the map and got some rewards. This doesn't work for delirium as the map needs to have monsters to be turned into their delirium state

[@Eddy_Stylez]

I tried delirium for the first time ever tonight. Was in the close quarters forgemaster map from campaign. Absolute nightmare. I'd open a door and instantly get swarmed and body blocked. Eventually ended up dying.

some good info. i currently only die on breach and sometimes ritual so its good to know its generally harder and not me missing something lol. i got some delirium currency and theres no info what it will do when using it, not sure if its too basic for your audience but it would be interesting. i also think as more and more newer players reach maps a quick overview video of the types of maps will surely help those guys. i learned by dying now lol.

[@masterdoan]

In poe2 you can run a map , once completed it unlocks the next pathing and the map solved will turn green and cannot be done again. Let’s say you die you can run the map again if you fail too often it turn red I think 2-3 try’s and then it turns red.

[@darthelmet1]

Short of just trading, what do you recommend for getting my defenses in order before maps? Just finished campaign and I’m getting destroyed in T1 maps. I burned through my available gold and ex trying to upgrade ky gear to no avail pretty quickly.

[@darkehartplays]

Sounds like you need to go farming in the campaign for a bit. Ziz posted a video a little while ago that outlines a couple good farming spots and tricks. I personally had good luck with the Sandswept Marsh zone (which doesn't rely on cheese). The Orok Camp inside it has two rare mobs, and a rare chest, and probably 2/5 runs I also ran into another rare mob on my way to it. It's pretty close to the Encampment so you can enter the zone from there. When you go to portal out it will take you to the waypoint at the start of the map but you can just use the waypoint to teleport to the Encampment again. Another strategy I used was to fully clear some of the final zones like Aggorat and the Black Chambers. Repeat kills of the bosses don't drop as much currency, but they always drop a rare so that's something. Good luck! =^.^=

[@KEK_Happening]

Do the precursor (or whatever they are called) stack the same effect? Eg is it better to have all the towers in an area as breach or do 1 breach and then a couple irradiated?

[@jaba1982]

They stack. Up until a certain point (if there are no maps in range which don't have a breach yet, they have no effect anymore)

[@guy9651]

You can stack different types of tablets on nearby maps, but the same type of tablet won't affect a single map multiple times. For example, using multiple breach tablets will only affect nodes that don't yet have breach, but using irradiated can affect nodes that had breach added onto it.

[@paulallouc6317]

Same feelings here, the only things i got is "tower buff are good" everything else was like "what is he talking about" "its messy". but thanks for the video

[@kenallsop7502]

Honestly the best thing is just to keep at it and you'll pick it up as you go. You'll run into Breach a few more times and it'll become more familiar. Most systems fundamentally come down to 'kill everything that spawns' anyway.

[@klaptone9012]

breach and expedition are season mechanics ported over from path of exile 1. breach basically random corruption portals appear, you open them and a brickload of monsters spawn everywhere, and there will be either a normal chest(clasped hand) or a rarer chest(demon clasped hand) they give rewards and occasionally splinters, used to craft a high level map that will let you fight a big boss(called "pinnacle boss" in arpgs). expedition will have you dig up buried chests and monsters for rewards. you get some "artifacts", and you will have different NPCs using different types of those currencies. they occasionally drop "logbooks" which are also maps you run by talking to one of the NPCs and you will be in a new map where you have much more dynamite available and a bigger dig up site.

It’s not needed but they usually go for 1 ex and it’s good for later on where xp is hard to get. A omen is a one time use , you activate it and then it’s gone for only one map. There is different ones they can one time heal you, or prevent from loosing too much xp from dying.

There is 2-3 things which really can be like a oneshot idk with 7k es tho but there is some nasty things idk when you run them blue I run them rare and also corrupted mostly but I’m in softcore but still u cannot die because you not only lose your 3 ex per map or 6 ex you also loose xp and you loose the map.

Losing experience on death has been a thing in the first game for a decade, so it seems unlikely to be something they'll change (maybe they'll tweak the values slightly). It's an incentive to not push beyond what your build can do, but keep in mind that finding the next gear piece is more important to late-game progression than reaching max level.
