PATH of EXILE: Settlers of Kalguur Beginner's Guide - Shipping, Workers, Town Building Explained

[@sharkh20]

I like it and it's the first league in forever that doesn't actually need a guide. It's intuitive.

[@mond2440]

It’s simple but has depth, the best kind of design

[@masudalimran92]

I agree. I literally came to this video to read comments not watch the guide

[@_Astrum]

So true

[@dovis99]

shipment value and rewards isnt very intuitive though, sometimes I send double the value of my previous shipment and I get like worse or same rewards its weird

[@masudalimran92]

@@dovis99 overall it felt rewarding to me. Ofc sometimes rng can trash you.

Yes. As someone who has limited gaming hours in the day. This has made me get more

[@Fusa1979]

[@mond2440]

I think they’d have to add more of the “unknown” element into the upgrading and resource management so that it’s not the same process every league. Maybe could add a bit of pvp interaction?

[@finalfragment8432]

The best thing about kingsmarch, in my opinion, is that unlike other out of map leagues, it does not disrupt your maping. I.e. you don't feel like your missing out on something if you don't go each map

[@dr3v240]

tell that to sanctum/delve/heist :)

[@Gargorok.]

Settlement + Delve is a dream come true I mine while mapping, I mine while not mapping, I mine on maps and I map to mine But for real its really nice to have another resource to look for during map if your main focus is to just farm side content

[@LeftysRage]

That's a lot of mining there.

[@pbc1337]

Do you drop a lot of gold while pushing down in delve ? With mob density down there it would make sense.

[@nr1771]

Ziggy, apparently someone on the PoE subreddit discovered the formula for how dust affects shipments. It has greatly diminishing returns. 55 dust will double the value of your shipment, but it takes 8,150 to triple it.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

I'm looking at that now too, not how I expected the math to work pretty wild. Will have to test a bunch!

[@GundirQuid]

Can confirm, put in 10, then 100, then 1000, then 10000 of an item and measured dust 100 at a time down to 9k dust. It falls off extremely hard after 2.4x value from dust

[@OmniscientlyMe]

Thanks for pointing out the bars count x5 for quotas, I completely missed that. It makes a HUGE difference.

[@srulz]

Sorry, I don't really understand that portion. Does that mean if a port demand 100 ore, I can send 20 bars only and fulfill their requests? Have you tested this?

[@jequiti6057]

@@srulz correct

[@srulz]

@@jequiti6057 is it stated ingame, or just trial and error? EDIT: NVM just found it! In the i on top left

I've totally been sending out way too many bars, because I never checked the info popup. It makes so much more sense now!

[@Azygousz]

if only i knew about that 2 hours ago, i put 1k bars, it could've been only 200 :/

[@foulXD]

yep, this is the first league where only the UI is loaded, the rest is EXTREMELY fun.

[@MrRayman5566]

I understood the league mechanic pretty well i thought but the trickle down thing i didn’t know, also want to say you explain everything so well, very well spoken and easy to understand

[@warmongerism]

Black market is legit, don't snooze on it, especially when leveling. They explained this during the launch video but I feel it's been overlooked. Essentially, the gambling has a good chance to eliminate lower tier modifiers, so with a bit of extra gold you can snag a significant upgrade. I felt like my character was falling behind at act 8/9, so I dropped 2k gold and got a massive upgrade. Obviously RNG comes into play, but it's a feature players should know about. The final acts were smooth sailing (pun intended) from there.

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

I've tried once, lost half my gold to buy a ring and I got some blue quality trash. No thanks, I won't touch the thing till I'm overwhelmed with gold just sitting there.

[@DanielGonzalez-xo4vs]

@@warmongerism I got a sick chest at level 35 which brought me to white maps. And all I wanted was a 4 link. It was triple ele res, life and flat armor with an open prefix

[@maitotechlab9035]

On act 4 or 5 i needed a better boot, got a 4 link, triple res, ev/es from black market 25mov speed, perfectly what i neede

[@Brahma001]

I only got total dumpster shit from it. If it was a rare, than not even 4 link. And on boots always no movespeed or maximum of 15. This smartloot 2.0 is horse*** for levelling. Maybe in endgame its better.

Love seeing a fellow Obsidian user in the Path of Exile community!

[@steamh4mmer264]

First league in ages that just works, i didn't even crash once and had 0 bugs

[@GabKaulem]

I crashed like 10 times, so it doesn't "just work" for everyone

[@wurmalex2879]

Crashed twice on release night i think, but even then, those were hours apart and i could get back into the game instantly. Other then that it realy has been smooth sailing

[@Slowp0w]

I crash every time I tab out now.. However my in game performance is better this league.

[@destroyermaker]

First league I crashed a bunch. They seem to have sorted it out though. But I am still experiencing a weird lag/stutter effect (it also stutters visually)

[@lightlesssouls9434]

No Master, Bachelors, PhD. Required to play this. It's absolutely fantastic, has everything you want/need. Can't get better honestly... It's just so fun also.

[@daviddrewniak1173]

Thank you for taking the time to explain this crazy league. Outstanding.

[@JammyPajammies]

Ziggy out here giving a business management and financing lecture. 😂 Real talk though, at least for where I am at in Act 10, the league content feels really smooth and well done. There are a few niggles (mostly just ui qol) like Ziggy noted, but nothing that is super egregious, especially since we can use movement skills in Kingsmarch! The settlement management flows into the core gameplay loop and adds a lot of good early power. Def should go core.

What a fantastic video, I can't believe that you put this together a day into the league! Thanks Ziggy 🙂

[@sebastiangrebe8276]

Settlers is my favorite League allready ❤. Very pleasant experience as you said.

[@samsavage9440]

The amount of dust you get from disenchanting an item is based on both the item level and the tiers of mods on an item. So if you have an item with tier one mods that's undesirable (like a bad base or the mods themselves aren't great like reflect) they will be worth much more to disenchant.

[@babis8142]

See Ziggy what you said in 6:43 was "Just be careful you don't dump all your gold into this" But what I heard was "Just don't be careful, you dump all your gold into this"

[@nlgliarmis503]

The music is so good. My favorite since legion

[@Flourikum]

Personally hope it goes core and instead of having the premade port you can put it in the hideout. Make small shacks for say smaller hideouts, while larger ones can have larger buildings. One less click and makes you interact with the hideout with one less place to jump to from the waypoint.

[@kmoustakas]

As a new player, (10 days 30 hours in) this whole town building is very interesting and fun! I love watching the farm plots and the farmers' animation

[@gordonbman2911]

Kingsmarch is kinda cozy . Feels way more casual than other League Mechanics etc. also the AFK- Farming Aspect of it.

[@Ashtarte3D]

So one thing data miners already figured out is certain ports offer certain resources. Like the Karui ports are the only ones that can give tattoos. I already love the league but I do have one minor nitpick, I wish it weren't so focused only on mapping. It would have been great if you could pull resources from Delve and maybe finding caches of pre-mined resources in Heist periodically. That way Delvers and Heisters(me!) don't feel punished for wanting do that that content. I've always been a huge Heist fan and it really feels like to engage with this league properly I need to focus on mapping only.

[@TeckTheBlooded]

If it stays core, it may very well become that, which would be a big bonus, especially since it wouldnt be focused anymore

[@deathcare]

Isn't this how all mechanics work? Have there been other mechanics where you interact with them outside of just regular maps?

[@TeckTheBlooded]

@@deathcare They mean we arent getting resources outside of the occasional mining thing in maps, there's no cross-rewarding from say Simulacrum or Expedition. If it goes core, like I commented, it could become that, or maybe Atlas will have benefits change

[@papyrus9761]

Add blighted maps to the list, some chests could contain a bit of minerals

[@benjamincl2409]

That time mechanic with no P2W is very addictive and fun :D

[@Nobody-hc1rw]

I just love listening to Ziggy talking. Very chill while blasting.

[@melenynder7136]

[@jackeriksen6753]

Hey Ziggy you basically get that screen of yours if you talk to the NPC in any town or your hideout. Would be nice with a button indeed, maybe a bit OP as you can indeed to some managing from the town map.

[@OmniscientlyMe]

Also, port distance impacts ship return time. That much is clear. It's ~40 min for the close starting ports, and ~2 hours for the tier 2 ports. I imagine those farther ports offer better rewards though, but I haven't seen enough results yet to know.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Still trying to figure out exactly what different ports and distances impact, starting to get some clues though today!

[@Schatten.mensch]

Thank you for the overview, especially for what resources will result in what shipping rewards, that will be very usefull! Haven't been hyped for league this much in a long time ^^

[@mahnipple164]

I put a gold jingle sound every time it drops for extra dopamine!

[@MrKhorn]

D2 gold drop sound on the way!

[@ddwkc]

I always wanted a tavern/encampment management since D2. I thought they would add it in D3 and in a way they did with the initial 2 vendors, but like everything else in that game, it was too shallow. It fits the flavor of ARPG a lot IMO. I really hope they add some aspects of it. Maybe the recombinators and runes probably not, but the rest could stay. It is strange to say, but gold just feels right too.

[@anubis483]

The content has so much potential for expansion of the concept. There is probably a limit to how much complexity players will accept. But I for one, would love if they expanded the possibilities in the town. Maybe more ports or something. Imagine if the ressources became a value that could be traded between players as well as having a value for ports.

[@wildmanjosh95]

At 5:18 your town map has a lot of room and looks spacious but mine looks cramped and I can't see half of the smelter. Is there something I can do to fix that?

[@CharlesPage-lb6dm]

Great video, looking forward to your testing and results of what to ship to get best stuff. How to get more workers took me forever to figure out. If you make another video for this maybe include the little button you have to click in order to get new workers you can then hire.

[@tomblank8124]

Thanks ziggy, happy league start!

[@AustinCynthia-g8l]

ziggy 😀

[@MrFugean]

THANK YOU! I did not realise you could assign workers specific tasks in smelting/mining.. I had them all doing one at a time and then moving on to the next, so every time I collected more crimson ore, they would just keep working that instead of the other ones too lol

[@DustinHarms]

Pretty much completely agree with your first impressions, both positive and things that could be improved.

[@WindHaze10]

I really love new Berserker, it enables rage with no fall off if you auto exert 3 warcries and spec into warcry cooldown reduction node.

[@prashkumar6734]

This was super helpful thank you! Especially the macro for chat /kingsmarch is such a time saver!

[@KjKase]

I've had so much fun so far this league, it's by far my favourite league GGG has ever released. The different types of ores with different mechanics that are reminiscent of previous league mechanics is a nice way to keep things interesting and fun.

[@OmniscientlyMe]

As far as I can see efficiency of each worker is (n+1) where n = job rank. Wages are a range that increases exponentially and varies by expertise type. So on tasks like mining and farms where you can put a bunch of people on the same task, it's more efficient to get a lot of level 1 or 2 workers to save money until your ability to supply them with resources is sufficient.

[@incobalt]

I've been wanting passive or side content in POE for so long and this is definitely scratching that itch. If there was a regular crafting bench in Kingsmarch, I'd just never go into my hideout again.

[@LaserStorm117]

Man, it was on sight that I was comfortable saying this needs to be core. They put too much effort into it to not be! I'm glad to hear you're really enjoying it. I haven't gotten to interface with it much yet, but I look 😢forward to it.

[@Lazris59]

Super excited to see your next video on discoveries! I really like that in Synthesis and Delve. I need to know how to min max my town!! Like it never dawned on me that food = currency and ore/bars = items... but when I had send nothing but food I got gum ball and when my food had to be eaten as a disaster I just got rares... so that's a great observation!

[@AjuntaPall316]

Thanks. I wanted to make sure the bars were 5x better like I assumed, so thanks for verifying that. I also wasn't sure about runes, so thanks for that as well.

[@Flackon]

Gold is modeled like fuel, more than wages, lol

[@hahahaha-rt6lb]

You got too comfy in Kingsmarch > is that really a bad thing? I myself thoroughly enjoyed taking my time in Kingsmarch, learning all the NPCs and what they do, trying to optimize resource distribution and all that jazz while doing campaign.

[@Zylosio]

My problem is i spend so much time working on my town i ran out of Gold to finish smelting tonight, 6k Gold an hour for me rn is no joke, and i dont have people running maps yet

[@Gore-okami]

tip: veiled items from jun have a lot of disenchant value.

[@olasarcasm]

This league is just fantastic! I love selling div cards and just picking up the cash from the vendor almost instantly

[@SebastianMiniatures27]

[@kha0sv4ktor72]

i actually need it to go core. My remove map tabs are overwhelming. my sheer amount of maps i cant run is insane. the fact that some npcs can actually get rid of them is BIG!

[@darkevilazn]

I do want there to be workers moving around the town just so I can see them do stuff, depending on the workers you apply. Its just aesthetics, but it would make the town look busier.

[@AdrielAviles]

Very great video explanation! Thanks for sharing!

[@sayakiart]

my shipment loot was also based on my character level. I noticed that, when i did a ship with my second character which was lower level.

[@arithedotanewb9126]

You can use Johan in your hideout to check how long until a shipment finishes, It is hidden and clunky though.

[@grothesk80]

This video was very informative! Thank you!

[@michaelderouen8144]

Dl'ed it and played this for the first time over the weekend. I had a blast. My first ARPG was D4 and then Last Epoch and I liked being able to use a controller and a mouse as needed in those two. My only gripe with POE is having to settle on one or the other when it comes down to input type. Small gripe I guess but moving around with the mouse feels "odd" for me.

[@unstable_hermit5360]

Everything about this patch is fantastic it feels so good. If they don't add this to the core, they will be losing out. Iv played on PC since about day 1 and this has been the best league mechanic iv played. This makes me look forward to poe 2.

[@unstable_hermit5360]

This is also coming from crappy ps5 launch. (Moved to ps5 to play with friends)

[@lourensmalan2431]

just a note on smelting and mining, you're workers will delegate to mining and smelting other ores if they run out of the one you select. this makes it alot less tedious when you want to log off and dont want to have to micro delegate workers but its imporant to note that you need some ores for early upgrades so need to make sure they dont start smelting those ores. (EDIT : nvm you mention this quicly after the smelting part, apolagies)

[@thomasgrimm1664]

Lots of useful tips! Thanks for testing all the shipments while I was sleeping

[@MaelraJade]

One thing I am not yet certain on: Are Bars just worth 5 times the points or do you also only need 1/5th the requested materiel in bars? So if they want 2500 iron you can either send the raw ore or 500 bars?

[@trevhur]

yes, hover over the info “i”

[@BlueberryJamPie]

On shipping you can do a gold farm by putting low lvls with high risk to get the pirate captain to appear. He drops a lot of gold, about 5k+

[@slothfacts9390]

The hotkey you’re looking for could just be the map in kingsreach, it already has an integrated UI and has the info of every one of your districts

[@Schmidteren]

Great listen while out on my walk. Been neglecting farming, Def won't do that anymore!! :D

[@josephreynolds2401]

The specialization options makes the player economy super robust. I think it also opens up more endgame to more players (like me). I'm not exactly the best at mapping and gearing so this slow but sure access still has a whole lot of gameplay for map slumps. Yeah....neat gameplay loop. Cant wait to see better players go nuts with the market mechanics.

[@kyleevans1129]

I can’t explain how refreshing it is that this league mechanic is mostly intuitive if you just read a bit. I love that I’m not spending weeks learning how to do a single mechanic

[@sh9jscg]

Bruh thats crazy yeah, and if you look at it the league has 204 things going on but you quickly understand all of it

[@IBringTheNapkins]

This update has me feeling like a kid again I love it so much. 1st time player btw

[@IBringTheNapkins]

@TE.XT-ME-ZiggyDGaming what did I win fake ziggy

[@inwector]

If you want to get the more multiplier on your shipments but you don't want to spend too much precious disenchant dust, just put 150 dust, it basically more than doubles the rewards and the more dust you put on, the less value you get from it, 150 seems to be the minimum amount to get maximum loot.

[@yournamethere123]

As someone who plays one out of every 2-4 leagues, this is the most fun I’ve ever had with the game, I normally quit because the game has (had) a lot of QOL problems in my opinion, glad to see they ironed out a lot of the issues that I personally had with the game, plus it’s nice to play melee and it feel good for once.

[@eLguL]

custom notifications would also be great: for example I'm waiting for 500 orichalcum bars to fill up to i can start a shipment ive been waiting to send out. so we set a custom notification for 500 bars and as soon as I reach the threshold it gives me one of those popups

[@bubblehulk7647]

It would be SO fun to be able to decorate and edit kingsmarch like your hideout by putting all the npcs and decorations everywhere. Wow. What a league!

[@Luzarioth]

The Currency Exchange needs to be drag'n'dropable. When I have a Card in my inventory, i should be able to pull it into the "What I have" window and not be forced to search for it.

[@Sherudons]

I'd like to see the value breakpoints, I sent one 50k value fleet just to a random place and got virtually nothing back, I did use a lot of dust and got quality anointed gear, it was all crap though, and one chaos... a cheat sheet of all this will be very useful.

[@owa1985]

My second ship ever out to ngakanu came back with only 1 unique weapon and some bubblegum and no runes. Weapon was some 1 hander hammer that was level appropriate (20++), shipment was a mix of crimson ore and bars and ori ore and bars and a bunch of wheat. Total shipment value was 400++.

[@Garryl367]

I sent a shipment of just Blood Iron bars that fulfilled a port's request and got back solely currency items. It's possible that their reward is not always armor, although it also occurs to me that the request completion reward might have some effects like rare monsters that convert all of their drops to currency.

[@bmnbl]

I just need to currency exchange market to go core that NEEDS to be in the base game the time i've spent not trading vs all other leagues is just mind blowing

[@nodders6830]

[@ArnoldsKtm]

currency exchange is a bit finicky and missing some things but it's an amazing start.

[@JM-rl6bq]

So, it seems like this league has made it so people don't use the trade market as much for gear or do people still do that?

[@Zingore374]

Its still pretty early in the league so gear trades are going to be pretty slow. Give it another day or so.

[@SurF1Nyt]

[@TheKomitex]

Do you guys send a lot of resources or just things that are listed on location?

[@koerdjenl]

Thanks a lot bro! PS: I just tested the workers dont cost any while idle and it doesnt work unfortunately, they still cost gold, even though they are marked idle.

[@honordevs]

The addition of gold to Path of Exile was one of the most natural things I've ever felt, which is extremely weird because I've always been against the idea of Gold. I think the reason behind this was due to Gold actually having a specific and very non-intrusive purpose. If you play the game and map regularly, Gold is not an issue. If you're a bot in the Auction, gold is a very annoying thing to build around. The league mechanics in maps are so quick and they never feel like a chore because of how quick they are. I absolutely love it.

[@Sherudons]

The main negative I am looking at is the timers, they are very long and favour large investments, you're heavily incentivised to keep playing hours long just to support the town and get more timers on cooldown, then move towards the upgrades... It's like a digital pet, you better not forget to feed it or it will stop working!, now don't forget to take if for walks.. train it.. play with it...

[@DarthTach]

You mean they made a mechanic that keeps you playing their game? I'm shocked!

[@sS0ulSs]

In the same way we are invaded by those bosses, It would be cool if we could invade other settlements as a RAID feature. Each settlement would work as a map with its unique boss. We could then loot resources and items. There is so much more to this league that can be explored, I would love a Raid Mode.
