Incursion (Alva) Simplified - Path Of Exile Beginner Guide - PoE For Dummies

[@heavyheals]

As requested, here's the tier rating for Temple of Atzoatl Rooms: S (Great to Sell) - Locus of Corruption (Double corrupt) & Doryani's Institute (Double corrupt GEMS) A - Shrine/Unity/Nexus (Upgrades other rooms) & Apex of Ascension (headhunter chance + Vial upgrade system) B - Wealth of the Vaal (currency room, can drop Reliquary keys!) C (unique item chance rooms) - Conduit of Lightning / Sanctum of Immortality / Toxic Grove / Hybridisation chamber / Defense Research Lab / Crucible of flame & Court of Sealed Death (Strongboxes can be unique/divination cards) D (it is what it is) - Atlas of Worlds (Maps), Glittering Halls (jewels and jewellery), House of the Others (up to 3 breaches), Throne of Atziri (Atziri herself) F - the rest Notable mention: Explosives room/Demolition room/Shrine of unmaking - gives explosives to open 1/2/3 additional rooms!

This was very informative, I've looked at a few videos and most of it was just confusing, this was very clear and I finally understand what this mechanic is, thank you!

[@heavyheals]

Thank you so much for watching, i'm glad it helped! There are a lot more of these and I will update them all to current versions as well!

[@stoicsteveYT]

Ziz should watch this video and try again lol

[@heavyheals]

This is the best compliment I have ever received 💜

[@BIueace.]

lol, just came that video

[@Vushan108]

Very good video. Please make more videos for every league mechanic and go into as much details as possible, specially how to make currency with them efficiently.

[@heavyheals]

Thank you! I already have the plan to rework all of poe for dummies series, but it will of course take time. When it comes to currency and how to do it efficiently, that is not the point of these videos (even though i will give a mention to it), as these videos are meant for people to learn the mechanics and how they work

[@robsypes]

very nice video. Exactly what I was hoping for.

[@pyramidhead0420]

Great stuff man, these videos have helped me a lot

[@heavyheals]

Im glad to hear that, thank you for watching!

[@scottbowers8841]

Thank you thank thank you Im off to look up all the other league mechanics id you have them up lol

[@heavyheals]

They are all there basically, but keep in mind about atlas passives, those have changed and im working on updating those videos too! Glad You enjoy these! You can see everything i have on my website heavyheals.com as well!

[@lexiath]

very nice explanation dude, thanks

[@witny0]

Thanks for the overview

[@heavyheals]

As an extra note as it was pointed out, there is one more room you can use to your advantage: Explosives room - Demolition Lab - Shrine of unmaking. Those rooms (Tier 1-2-3) give you 1-2-3 explosive barrels that you can use to connect otherwise obstructed rooms!

[@jakubmucha6629]

Or - if all rooms are already connected - use barrels to destroy special sealed chests.

[@DrAmjad-rs4wc]

great video

[@jakubmucha6629]

I perhaps missed if you said that but Explosive Room (and its higher tiers) give you option to open Obstructed romms when you later run the final temple. Also, if anyone consider selling chronicles =bulk only as you can overprice them.

[@heavyheals]

I haven't mentioned explosive rooms, good catch there! I'll add it as a pinned comment for people to see the extra info.

[@tahF005]

for timelines, i use it early as long as i already have the room i want + path through it or explode room. you can use it as early as your second alva run, set it to just 3 incursion, and get up to 3 extra chronicles. best case, have locus and/or dory connected with speed room to maximize chance of lvl 3 valuable rooms

[@heavyheals]

From thw pov of optimisation, this is the way to go! Rng, but can be profitable!

[@jakubmucha6629]

In that case this got fixed very recently. I tried multiple ways of stacking Scarab of Timelines in the first two weeks of league and NEVER had more than single temple drop from final architect. Also, all tier 3 rooms at that time where always re-rolled to lower tiers so E.g. if you applied scarab in the final incursion while already having Locus it would always roll down to lower tier in extra dropped Chronicle.

[@heavyheals]

I think he meant every incursion map drops a temple via scarab (3 temples total for 1 finished product), but rolling T1-3 is always a gamble. However if it is a bug that if you have a T3 room and it never rolls T3, that is very bad. I would still do as i said in the video, last incursion instead of all 3

[@busfahrer09]

a tier-ranking system would be amazing, I remember ol' creator Badger having one but this is outdated.

[@heavyheals]

great idea! I can put it in the pinned comment today!

[@SzaQak]

Question: Do I need "click" Cursed Treasure when I start the inqursion or I can clear the monster and then "click" it?

[@heavyheals]

Whenever you click it you lose 8 seconds of the timer. If you immediately click it, as the timer starts at ~9 seconds, once it reaches 0 you WILL be ported out. Just kill some mobs, get timer up, then click chests :D

[@SzaQak]

@@heavyheals so this is no add quality / rarity to mobs? It's a box with own % chanse to loot?

[@heavyheals]

@@SzaQak Yes. It's a box with separate loot which is always currency. So far it has dropped every currency that is standard currency up to a divine. It did not drop fracturing shards/orbs or mirror/pieces.

[@wevinku]

Can you do a sanctum for dummies?

[@heavyheals]

yes, it is in plan to do as well! in the meantime, you can ask me about sanctum on stream until i make the video
