Mapping Mechanics, Tips and Tricks! [PoE Uni]

[@Zizaran]

Timestamps in the video bar as usual. Keep in mind a lot of this might change with the upcoming 3.13 Expansion, but we don't know exactly how much, so this is still an important video to make.

[@rafaelgil1985]

Hey @Zizaran, thanks for the University series, has been a great recap of all the basics. If I may suggest a topic, i'm playing POE since Metamorph league and every time i'm getting better and pushing higher on my progression. Since Harvest i can clear T16 easily, but when i see people doing like t16+ 100% delirium + beyond maps, there is a gap between the builds that can clear a t16 map and this kind of content ("Real" endgame ?). How can i push a build to this kind of content? Is it a meta only like aura stackers? Maybe it's a good topic for an University video ... Anyway, thanks in advance and keep the great work!!

[@demise187]

@Zizaran Thanks for these videos, they're great! Could you do one on how to setup your Item Drop Filter? That would be awesome and very helpful for us noobs. Thanks!

[@vortraz2054]

"What are maps?" But you didnt answer your own question. A MAP, is an item that allows you to enter a new zone. You skip straight from "What are maps?" To "Theyre a piece of endgame that you ROOLL" Literally emphasizing a dot that you havent connected any lines to. Teaching Is a skill ziz, entirely separate from the subject or skill that your covering. You have to have both. And the way you achieve that is imagine that teaching, is playing connect the dots. You plot the dots with your words, but you still need to make sure the student can and has connected them. The real skill in teaching is making sure a student is connecting all the dots as you go. Words need to be well chosen, even if slow.

[@vortraz2054]

@@icarlos1970 The schooling theme is more metaphorical than literal but nice attempt to dismiss people with a valid point just because you either missed the point or dismiss it out of ignorance, not sure which but I like to think you just honestly didnt recognize the value in it. Thats excusable.

[@Krozra]

Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting this series to take off because I felt newer players wouldn't make it past two minutes in and veteran players wouldn't see the value in it. However, much to my own enjoyment, I was proven very wrong. Each episode has at least something for everyone and it is amazing to me how little I understood about mechanics I felt I knew so much about! Thank you so much to each of you involved in the making of these videos. I love how dorky and inviting our community is :)

[@gr33dl0cknein3]

I think it's because such a small percentage ever make it to late game. But they see the crazy gameplay videos and how popular the game's gotten and people want to experience that. Hence why they are willing to sit through 10+ hours of lectures. Good decision, these videos condense 100's of hours of hard learned experience.

[@falxgod6848]

Started playing PoE several times over the last 4 years but never reached Act III. The first 3 Uni vids gave me enough info to now reach lvl 55 and Act VII with only 2 death in softcore. Havent touched trading yet though. Love the crafting. Current build: Spin to win

[@sintheemptyone8108]

@@falxgod6848 I made it through to the endgame on my first playthrough with ironman rules. (no trading, Legion league) The only thing preventing me from continuing to grind for gear to clear Tier 1-5 maps was lag which in the case of that glass cannon build just made it unplayable. So it's definitely feasible to reach if not a bit tedious to drag myself through the story mode for everytime in challenge leagues. I suspected there to be many items featured in this league which wouldn't be available outside trading after it's over, which is why I chose to play the Ritual league to hopefully score them.

[@ytwyrm]

Not even two minutes in and I learned something! Had no idea you could resize the map device! Thanks Professor Ziz!

[@zcarniel2884]

Thanks you!!!. 28:26 Hedwig's from Split.

[@Shindo13371]

An interesting aside for anyone still learning: the map combination/internal ID thing also applies to other recipes. Most notably, two-stone rings and their combination of prismatic ring. So when you're making prismatic rings you want to shuffle your rings just like you do with your maps here to make sure you get the maximum 10% resist all.

[@hectords164]

500hrs in POE (started in harvest) and I finally learned about juicing maps and when to best use them. Thank you ziz!

[@Souchirouu]

I understand every mechanic on an individual basis but when they all interact my brain just melts.

[@911chandru911]

Quick note on the large and small map device. The first one that Kirac sets up has a blue underglow ,the moment you change it you lose that version forever.*Do not scroll * if you want to keep that variation. It's just for the people who enjoy hideout creation.

[@zedzeduk]

Be aware, it's not just by opening maps that Zana resets .. you have to open the map with the Zana master mission active. Notice where Ziz clicks at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH_MaWepmJKGmLM (27:49). Note this will decrease Zana's master mission counter ... so be careful you don't run out of master missions by accident.

[@nashthebaker9338]

Never knew that you could change/force the maps you want in the 3-1 recipe... and I've been playing since 2013! Lmao. Thanks for the education Ziz! Putting a lot of your advice into my playthroughs of Ritual, trying to become more than a casual pleb.

[@Snarky4]

My head hurts... gotta take a break and come back to watch all series. Thank you man

Been grinding the atlas without knowing about 3-1 trick thats crazy Ziz is the goat

take a shot every time Ziz says "more better"

[@zuphix1802]

Remember, it's not "increased better", it's MORE better!

[@thirtysilver33]

Thank you very much Ziz for doing these.

[@beningram1811]

This video is going to be at least triple this length when it's updated to the Echoes expansion, lol.

[@alexmalas9163]

Hahaha yeah... I really wanna see how ziz is going to approach everything cause there’s a shit ton regarding atlas

[@trentntb5437]

more better indeed! Honestly, I need a dumber version. ha

[@justinwhite2725]

Ziz:save it for red tier maps Me:I've never even gotten to yellow. I usually get stuck at the hunter.

[@jehzir2015]

Currently, maps start to drop in Act 7 after the completion of Maligario's Map quest using the Map device in Chamber of Sins Level 1

[@HelicopterShark]

Yeah pretty sure he meant you can loot maps as early as ACT 7 not tier 7. As tier 7 zones are maps themselves

[@marksullivan5303]

Really cool shot a 0.13 seconds into it, you wont be disappointed.

[@Anatoliys_Adventure]

I wish my professors IRL taught me as well as you do here at PoE University

[@JJ__6]

I learned some things and I have 1000 hours played. Thank you!

[@ltv4390]

Same lol

[@KingKatura]

I know you just did this map video and are usually busy which is why i always support your twitch when i can. but any chance at some point you can do a Map video like you did the league mechanics video. Where you list all the patches that changed map mechanics in a big or decent way and explain those mechanics separately, all of it together is kind of boggling as the short few months i missed it seems the atlas literally became a who new world. I think it would be easier for newer or returning players digesting all the changes if they can take them in seperatly in parts of the video as updates. If you think it will help you as well thumbs up this comment, so he knows whether it would be worth it for him too or not.

[@forsee2328]

You can pick up and sell ALL uniques to sustain alchs on SSF

[@nullptr5285]

thanks a lot for the video! so, the general idea is that all missions are better to do on map levels 5, 10 and 16? would you recommend to not do missions on lower ones? what if I don't play enough to spend all of them and/or I don't have enough 5,10,16 maps? are there ones that I really should try to save for 5,10,16 maps?

[@poisonblack666]

and still i'am sitting here dont know how to safely progress through the atlas with the watchstones, the last 2 or 3 times i tried i maneuvered myself into a dead end. got to the yellow maps, setted the first 2 or 3 watchstones, but afterwards i couldnt progress any further and dropped back to ~t3/t4 maps...

[@poisonblack666]

@Mariano Fuentes thank you so much

[@Kunsa]

when you complete a mission for her, does the level of the map determine what maps she refreshes with? or does it have to do with you map completion??

[@DasHeino2010]

i think its more like the general state of your atlas... but i dont know

[@robingomez9319]

Afaik it depends on the type of mission you used (white, yellow, red)

[@danimal4959]

how do you highlight the map mod explanations being done here ?

[@pinedx]

Press alt when hovering over a map.

[@madskroghrtved4462]

You probably need to turn on advanced mod descriptions in UI options aswell :)

[@danimal4959]

@@madskroghrtved4462 that's what it was thank you

[@zxkredo]

You can actually put all fragments in addition to a map. At least most of them.

[@paulamblard3836]

the vall fragment don't increase the probability of a vaal area in the map ?

[@a_pet_rock]

I don't think so. However, I think running corrupted maps increases chance for vaal side areas. And I know corrupted maps increase chance of vaal orb/fragments to drop from boss.

[@jimmytsongaandtheshimmycon9421]

More betterer!

[@madskroghrtved4462]

Indeed, the next league will be the most bestest league to date! :P Not sure if it's intended or not, but the amount of times he repeats it, makes it feel intended xD I have grown to accept this as a part of Ziz' language -also, he's not a native english speaker, so a few slips like that are going to occur ;)

[@madskroghrtved4462]

many morer and gooder are often used aswell ;)

[@themightypotato3857]

kind a bit all over the place but great series still. :)

What is "Mmmmaap!" A reference to? I've been saying it for years but cannot find where it came from.

Dora the Explorer?

[@Highs009]

Zana resets every mission you do of her, but it has to be chosen it seems.

[@thoddiver]

Did this get updated?

[@JH-ot5mn]

Ah, the atlas, the major weak spot in my playing. Is some of this null with the new atlas makeover?

[@jehzir2015]

Most of the Atlas function will be the same by looks of the announcement. New, the Atlas Skill zone trees add functionality to the watchstones are socketed

[@a_pet_rock]

Looks like everything here is unchanged. There is a new system related to the Maven encounters in addition to everything here.

[@DieKao]

2:40 wtf is "you find maps as early as tier 7" supposed to mean? LIke either I can't hear what your saying (twice) or you're making no sense. You find maps during the later parts of the campaign. Pretty sure anything after and including Blood Aqueducts should work.

[@maksenDK]

I'm level 70 and I'm loosing more and more interest in this game the more i realize how complicated it is. I love complexity but this is waay too much imo.

[@sophiepalmer-morgan4918]

It doesn’t have to be! Even simple players like me can make steady progress and profit without having to fill our brains with overload, you don’t NEED to do everything to get where you want to be in the game, don’t let it put you off!

[@sephirothx1984]

You know its complicated game, when you make a video guide and you get more and more confused the more you watch the video... You explain stuff assuming we know all the other details... I have no idea what you mare talking about. How am i supposed to know what you are trying to explain... Sorry but this is too advanced to understand.

[@jaypie2527]

Feel you bro, I'm so lost about nearly every feature of this game. God damnit its so complicated

[@kevinthedegenerate4157]

Can you give me some examples of where you end up confused. I think its harder for people that understand certain mechanics to make guides since its from their perspective. Id love to get more insight on what part of this video got confusing.
