Welcome back Grim, we've missed you, it's great to have you back. I know I speak for many when I say we look forward for your videos each league, and we hope you keep making content

[@zixter4756]

You know Grim has done a great job of explaining when even my smooth brain can understand. Great video!

[@kujasan]

thank you, grimro. the goat once again save me a lot of trouble. for me this reads as: have fun playing the great new season, ignore the crafting.

[@Aokimarcel]

such an amazing way of explaining something complex and making it understandable, thanks Grim! Missed you last league

[@EnjoylThelSilence]

so nice of them to again introduce something simple as this to the game that average Joe could totally understand and easily use.

[@Detlevboi]

This is not the game for average Joe

​@Detlevboi it's sarcasm I think.

[@sailb0ats64]

It would appear as though the total weight pool might not actually change when you increase a tier rating. If you hold the alt key with the morgue open, the "+X to Whatever Modifier Tier Rating" corpses read as follows: "Raising modifier tier rating excludes lower tier modifiers from rolling, distributing their roll chance among higher tier modifiers of the same modifier type".

[@stacky159]

Great to have you back Grim. Missed you during Affliction. Thanks for the great video - a seamless continuation of your excellent content on this game.

[@The_Grimsun]

Big tip. Use the row/column buff to help get these numbers. That 100% shit or 50% is way bigger than you think it is. I was just messing around with crafting and did the row thing and got like 2000% phys from 1 row.

[@mblade01]

Grim geeking out and showing me spreadsheets once again that probably less than 10% of the playerbase will be able to understand. What a time to log in. I myself crafted a decent Day 1 sceptre for RF by just stacking fire modifiers, fire tier ratings and getting the higher item base roll but I kinda forgot to remove attack mods which is a small oopsie but I'm still getting to clear mid yellow maps quite comfortably on a 4L, prolly can push low reds with my current gear but I will definitely be a lot slower so I should just get a 6L. This league is gonna be insane for crafters and I already made a small fortune tinkering with the corpses. I'm prolly gonna hunker down and craft some decent bows to sell while learning the league mechanic myself and just start snowballing the currency to a Mageblood that was sadly nerfed.

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

Is there any way to make it generate only high tier bases? Else, to use your project, it should suck for making good phys bows. I know there's the attribute requirement corpses that ensure you'll get, say, an ES chestpiece - but that doesn't ensure said chest would be a Vaal Regalia. So is there a way to make it only give you a Vaal Regalia, Occultist Vestment or other high base type?

[@TrippyTimesTwo]

⁠@@ArawnOfAnnwn You can use a corpse that rolls bases and selects the one with the highest level requirement. It doesn’t guarantee anything but it’ll help Edit: sorry I responded the same on another thread to you lol

[@knappieboy]

I always look forward to these on league start, thank you grim and good to see you back on POE (even if its only for a couple weeks)

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

[@DanteJohnson]

In your formula to determine what tiers will roll, it looks like either you're mentally adding the 100% base chance in F106, or it's missing the 100+ that should go in the numerator. Because if you put 100 into F106, your result would be Tier 10. It wasn't clear if the number in F106 is the number you've added from your corpses, or including the base rate. Thanks for the detail explanation, though!

[@bigabig1457]

Yep it is missing in the formula

[@seanmartens8740]

Loved this video. I had completely misunderstood how the Tier Step was working. Its much easier to math it with this new information.

This man is a top-tier content creator for any game he gets into. I enjoyed playing Honkai Star Rail with you when I was taking a break from PoE, glad to see you getting into this league. I used to enjoy figuring out all this shit myself, but nowadays I don't have the time or energy so it's really nice how you break these things down.

[@billygrego4769]

First off, welcome back Grim! We missed you! Second, Hell yeah! Great information! Thanks! Can't wait to put this into practice!

[@scuddsTV]

so glad you're back with this league, it seems super scuffed so far, so hoping you can have some insight to JUICE it!

[@Rafael64_]

For me the most important takeaway from this video is the sense of scale of the modifiers, where they actually start "doing something" and therefore their value.

[@michaelchase2126]

Appreciate your work good sir! I look forward to more insights on the mechanics of Necropolis.

[@supravlieg]

I think that after 4k hours played I just have to admit I am too casual for this game. Last Epoch items dropping identified and the ease of the loot filter there opened my eyes.

[@FPET03]

commenting for the YT algorithm but also welcome back Grimro you were sorely missed. Great to see another informative video from you, keep it up!

[@BeltonPoE]

And he’s back! LFG! 📈

[@mesv3567]

I don't understand what went though the mind of whoever designed this league and though "yes, this is gonna be fine". In not exactly a casual, i've gotten at least a MB and a thousand divines in the last few leagues and not just the previous one where currency rain, i mostly understand the crafting mechanics of this league and can't imagine myself placing 50 corpses in a specific order which some of them have to be bought and then pray to rng for a good item while getting trash drops from mobs while mapping in exchange of 100 more dmg to monsters. Yes, there is a chance to get divines mod but it not like we didnt before with eater altars and who knows, the chance to get it could be the same. I simply cant find a reason to play this league other than trying new atlas mechanica and abusing scarabs, definitely not a league for most people. One of the biggest problems is that ggg balances these crafting leagues taking in mind that some people like grim or some other well knowledged people will make use of excel spreadsheets and external web pages/tools to create good items and explain the rest of the community how a mechanic works instead of making things intuitive and fun using in game npc or whatever. Watching an intervier of 2 hours with a dev should not be mandatory to understand how to play a league or make use of the main attractive characteristic of a league. They knew this league would be really bad and boring for 90% of the people and still went with it, that other 10% will quickly find out that even though they like to craft crafting with low materials on the market cause people is dropping the league in hordes will make it less profitable, less fun and way more difficult. Puting aside how dificult and boring this league is for the average joe we aldo have to talk about the QoL and UI design of the league, the corpse picking up and managment of the cemetery is tedious and the micromanaging gets old real fast, the animation when creating items is excesively long for no apparent reason and theres a few less important improvements they should make to make it feel less clunky. Overall i would rate this league a 3/10 so far and unless they make big changes in a short time i can see how it could become one of the worst leagues in poe history. If something can save it is the changes to the atlas and scarabs, that's really good.

[@williammorris9474]

That video was crazy complicated but its just damn nice to have you back Grim!!!

[@Ishamael8]

Great video. You’re doing all of us such a huge solid! Thank you so much!

[@ThorvaldtM]

Once again Grimro saving the day!

[@spoupoutvandertur407]

Glad you're back, and with quality content for that ! I think however there is a mistake, either on the formula or in the way you show it here about the tier culling calculus : to calculate the number of tier remaining, you do (max tier existing) / (Tier weight from corpses/ 100). Trying to compute that when you have 0 tier weight shows the problem : you can't divide by 0. You also said that +100 tier weight should half the number of tiers available, and obviously if you don't put any you should get as many tiers available as it exists. So I think you either forgot in your formula to add a base '100' weight (like H106 = G106 / ((F106 + 100) / 100) ) or you should add 100 to your F106 input as a baseline. Hope I'm clear here :) Edit: for your bow example, you'd need only +400 tiers weight from corpses to reach the breakpoint of having only t2-t1 available.

[@Gredinus]

tier increases + chance reducing are also a good combo, since they remove the highest weight low tiers and reduce what's left

[@SuperCatacata]

I think you meant increase at the end there. Or not, maybe I don't get what you are saying.

[@Gredinus]

@@SuperCatacata I meant that you further reduce it's weight, since I was talking about undesirable mods

[@RedSunT]

@@SuperCatacata Gredinus is talking about cutting out undesirable mods. Mana for example has a lot of tiers: if you first cut out the lower tiers with +tier weight, then make it more scarce to reduce the weight even more you end up with a lower chance to get mana on your item compared to only making it more scarce.

third times the charm for me, stacked a bunch of solid modifiers with map ilvl corpses and made some GG boots. BAU with redditors in the campaign expecting a mirror for a minute of 'work'. thanks for the vid, i think its more intuitive than you give it credit for, i hate using craft of exile.

[@starkiller34]

HUm.. yes. Quite. I shall wait for recipes.

[@bloomleaf8310]

im really curious about him saying that people will be able to just paste recipes and others can use them, since the outcomes seem pretty random still even on the more weighted options.

[@miramichi30]

@@bloomleaf8310 Basically, the same idea as fossils. People will tell you what combination of fossils to use to get the best chance of the item, but it might take multiple tries.

[@RedSunT]

@@bloomleaf8310 Grimro didn't mention it in the video, but there are corpses that provide a item duplication chance for each used corpse in a craft. That's yet another factor driving us to bigger recipes. The chances get much higher to get good rolls and bases, when you're producing 5 or 10 items instead of one.

You are the GOAT for me every league, thanks for such great explanations!

[@magicsmoke0]

Thank you for putting in the work here. Yeah, if you have to be very knowledgable with crafting weights and have to use Craft of Exile, GGG really messed up. I think there's no corpses for sale for a few reasons: 1. Folks have given up due to the difficulty. My very first map completed by me dying to the map boss on my last portal and him dying shortly after due to dot. I kept getting one-shotted and this is like my 5th league. 2. People who are collecting the corpses just don't know what's good and there's an upfront 1c cost to orb them and being day 2 of the league, that's not nothing for most people. 3. People are experimenting on corpse crafting and probably throwing all their corpses into a single craft hoping more is better and it's not. Or, they're crafting all of them to just empty out their morgue because orbing 60 corpses = 60c and that aint happening. If we have recipes at hand, like you're showing, I think it will help folks out know what to look for, what to keep, what to throw away in terms of corpses.

Saving my early league expierence as usual. A hero we need but don't deserve. Thanks grim!

[@yanoschz8293]

Thank you so much for sharing your findings and knowledge! That video was super useful! Although I have one question. How does the roll fill up explicits? Meaning: what prevents the bow you made with +1000 of each element from becoming a resistance bow with high tier resistances in all elements?

[@Robertthebob]

Great video, the 3 groupings make total sense

[@theange1333]

You may not have the answer but I was wondering if you think using +Attribute Modifier Tier Rating would effect the possible base item you get as a result? I doubt it but just a thought that i had.

[@shreddakj]

Thanks for the video Grim! That explains a lot. Now I know have an idea of what I want to craft. Chur.

[@martinsvilands7334]

There's also the red herring Arimor drops, the one where he suggests it's all about patterns. The question is then, patterns of what and why. Are the really rare affixes, like the +1 max power charge we see on teaser hubris circlet that isn't influenced, locked behind said patterns? Are the patterns about monster type, geometry or affixes and such? Seems like no one's really exploring the idea that base type of monster does things more likely than not, for instance, I suspect we can cause higher tier bases of certain type by using animal corpses only.

[@yellowfishd7444]

@grimro Do you pick all necropolis atlas passives?

[@anonymveruhodny6835]

Terribly sorry if I don't understand correctly. You said that + 100 tier rating leaves 1/2 of the mod pool, +200 leaves 1/3 of the mod pool and so on.. By that logic on 16:30, wouldn't you need only + 400 tier rating to leave only the top 2 ele mods (1/5)?

[@baltharaaz9847]

It appears to be nonlinear per GGG's statement that: 50 tier rating = removal of bottom 1/3, 100 = removal of bottom 1/2, 200 = removal of bottom 2/3. So you will larger amounts of tier modifier to cut away more and more of the lower tier rolls.

[@Jigsaw2533]

Ranges: Increase roll 100-500% Tier rating 25-100 Scarcer 50-300%

[@bigbutter2510]

Thank you for putting together this informative vid !

[@craigsaddington6430]

Nice to see you back grim ❤

[@Tkap]

When you hold ALT on the +tier rating corpses, it says "... distributing their roll chance among higher tiers of the same modifier type", which I interpret as the weight being moved to the higher tiers, rather than removed. Am I misunderstanding?

[@Jameshowardadventures]

I think it means same modifier type, life regen, life regen %, life leech, max life, minion life etc.. so the item will roll something out of the pool of life modifiers and the tier rating has been distributed among all of them so yeh.. this is why people keep getting shit rolls. And it’s like harvest, where say you select reroll life, if it rolls life regen to won’t have increased chance for more life mods. But the fossil crafting will have a chance for the mod for the entire item. Hope that makes sense

[@WebCamCartmell]

so glad Grim is back. Missed these type of vids alot

[@mrSasha89]

But won't the increase in cold/fire/ligh affect suffixes to roll resistances instead.It's possible.In that case there's a corpse that reduces the chance to roll resistances and I think it's mandatory in case of ele bows.Something you maybe overlooked 😁 Good video mate, keep it up!

[@DiggityDi]

So basically what is left is to figure out future meta rares and focus-fire spit them out to market. And a zoom-zoom clearspeed build to supply yourself with corpses.

[@IamThePro78]

I would have been happier if they just gave us old harvest, update syndicate, delve and breach.

[@christopherfreeman3442]

Minor math comment: the numbers are relative to a base number of "100". So when you 'add' 100 to something you get to 200 -> double. When you add 400 it should go to 5x, not 4x. This should also apply to the denominator versions. So reducing by 400 is 1/5, not 1/4.

[@SmthIcanNvrHave]

So the graveyard is just a giant resonator.

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

Sorta. The problem is that you don't get to choose the basetype of the item. You CAN make it only give you certain kinds of bases, like only ES chestpieces say, but not afaik ensure it generates specifically on a Vaal Regalia or Occultists' Vestment. So it's good for crafts where the base doesn't matter much, but not for crafts where that matters a lot (like high ES chestpieces).

[@sapssey]

You have corpses that give higher level requirement bases along the stat requirement one so you can get pretty close to what you want base-wise. It's the rest that is complicated as without a calculator like craftofexile you'll always be blind crafting to a certain degree.

[@Oops-All-Ghosts]

Yeah, it's a very powerful resonator with a little more risk attached to the end product.

[@JPgreekgaming]

I actually find the whole process fairly intuitive, at least on a basic level. It's the maths part with the tiers and percentages that get very complicated, very fast.
