PoE 3.25 - Quest for a Mirror! (Shard) FINALE (Super long video.... sorry!)

[@Surfinn]

Aw damn I was hoping to see one of these updates produce a mirror shard. However, happy you see you did get one through shipments! Grats. I feel like you got horribly unlucky. My friend dropped 4 shards in about 50 maps. Maybe he was crazy lucky. Anyway, been enjoying this series, thank you!

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Ha, I was hoping to get one as well! Would have been a great end to the series. Maybe I'll pick it up next league, but we'll see. Wow that is crazy lucky - good for him! Thanks for watching!

[@AzertyOnFire]

4 shards within 50 map, is more than "crazy lucky", to me its unbelievably lucky ngl !

[@Mooplet]

ooh don't be sorry about the long video, we like watching these!

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Ha, thanks!

[@vodrake]

Ahh that's a shame. I was hoping you'd get the shard(s) from the Harbingers. Kind of sucks that you can do 500 maps and not hit. Ah well, thanks for the series, been fun to watch.

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Yeah, was hoping to get one by the end, oh well though. Maybe next league! Thanks for watching!

Love your content mate, keep it up!

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Thanks!

Sad you didn't got any Mirror shards from Harbingers, but thanks for the journey and data! In this League farming Mirrors / Mirror Shards with Harbingers (i.e. intended way) is even less viable with introduction of shipment mechanics. Feared, Juice T17 farming, Affliction farming and Deli Orbs farming (not sure about this one) already outperformed it I think. I wonder what GGG is gonna do with Harbingers next and whether we gona be able to generate Mirror shards with League mechanic next League reliably just like we can in Kingsmarch (probably not xD). Things move quickly. Could you share more details for Tainted Currency drops? Did you fully invested into Beyond on the atlas passive tree?

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Its amazing to me how rare a mirror shard is from harbingers, or at least how rare it seems to be through my data set. Yeah shipping puts it to shame on ability to farm for those mirror shards for sure, and any super juiced farm would probably drop a mirror outright before you get one via harbingers too. I'm interested to see what they do next league too! If they keep the town mechanic around/retool it a bit, or what could possibly come next - should be interesting! And PoE2 is getting closer and closer too. I was all in on beyond about halfway through my harbinger farming (swapped to utilize it around map 200 or so) - that is I got 100% chance via the atlas and took some nodes to increase its value imo.I got a good amount of tainted currency, but was seeing a lot more profit just from the added mobs/raw drops that they generate in general (not just tainted currency). I think it works pretty well with harbingers since harbingers spawn so many mobs in the same place/ability to get that many more beyond portals close together to spawn in mobs.

I was lucky getting 2 shards(doubling scarab) in less then 100 maps. Also 3 shards from my only 50m shipment. I'm not sure if it is true but i saw a video stating it had too be 40m value of crops and 10m of dust to ribben fell and I did exactly that and it worked.

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Congrats! I think so long as you make it to 50M value its pretty safe in general. I haven't heard of people getting much better/worse outcomes from different mixtures, but that would be interesting!

[@angelo2268]

I've been running harby too, doing the same thing as you. I've run upwards of 400 maps and no mirror shards for me either. :') I've got a buddy who got a mirror shard from shipments and from less than a hundred harbies so i was really hoping i could get mine too but unfortunately even my 50m shipment gave me 0 shards. Great league but very bad rng for the amount I've played. Maybe poe2 will be where we find our rng!

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Wow, from less than a hundred harbingers - thats incredibly lucky! Yeah I've seen some 50 million shipments come up dry as well... Quite frustrating with how long it takes to set them up. Hope your rng turns around for you! And yeah theres always next league/PoE2 as well!

[@BiggViens]

Excellent analysis, thanks! 👌 I’ve got a question: 🤨 I found these words 😅. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Not sure how to use them, would appreciate help. 🙏

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Not really sure what you're asking. Seems like an odd combination of words

[@forcexcanada]

I think I got around 400 maps without a mirror shard when I gave up on it 😅 was really hoping to see one but after leveling a whole new char to 100 off harbs enough was enough

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Dang, that reinforces my thoughts on the rarity. Sorry you had a similar experience to me though!

[@forcexcanada]

@@Hadjy_PoE it is what it is, at least it was a fun strategy to run that was fairly profitable and consistent. Better than my 50M shipments scamming me 🤣 Good luck on the next strat mate

[@Hadjy_PoE]

@@forcexcanada Yeah those 50M shipments can be brutal... I'm 50/50 with them now though! Thanks, you too!

[@vincegaming2434]

You can do strat for getting T17 maps. And then one for running T17 maps currency or scarabs, but please no strongboxes 😂

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Ah... I have been hearing about strongboxes so much I wanted to give them a shot! I can go for something else though, plenty other stuff on the list for sure.

[@videokois]

thx you ♥ can you link your atlas pls ♥

[@Hadjy_PoE]

I think this is more or less what I was at: poeplanner.com/a/9nN You can't really go wrong on harbingers though - I recommend adding beyond and then just focusing scarabs/maps, but it can be a very flexible setup too/work with most other targets as well!

[@justcallmebot903]

Damn thats a shame

[@Hadjy_PoE]

Yeah, was hoping to get one by the end, but they are incredibly rare and all. Maybe next league!

[@maygodguideustohaven]

i saw this video after i gave up on harbi today lol not a single mirror shard not worth it

[@Hadjy_PoE]

I think I made around a thousand or so div along the way, so wouldn't say it wasn't worth it! But yeah frustrating to not get the thing I was targeting as well (but I can just buy a mirror at this point 🥲)
