POE The Adorned: Endgame Unique Deep Dives episode 1 - Path of Exile - posted during 3.24 Necropolis

[@EiJoYuJo]

This is where it all began for me end game unique items and I love that you've went back to these thanks so very much!!!

[@ericboldger777]

I swear I learn more in your videos than scouring the wiki for hours. Excited for the new series.

[@LordNerfherder]

It is not a mana reservation implicit on jewels as stated in the video near 7 minutes - it is a reservation efficiency implicit which is absolutely a huge difference and is even better. The way that scales with a life reservation AND mana reservation build is insane due to reservation efficiency is actually very difficult to get without prism guardian. I have over 100% reservation efficiency from my 20 jewels (jewels and cluster jewels) all with a 2% implicit modifier and various suffixes. All with a crazy life reservation and mana reservation combo. With this you can reasily reserve large auras on the life as well where you could normally just fit a discipline and a maxed vitality, precision or similar. Now you fit another 2 large auras. Combo this with the popular chestpiece that we all see on our inquisitors

[@sirgog]

Oh wow, I got the explicit mod (mana efficiency only) confused with the Vaal implicit (which is both).

[@wygiwyg]

01:58 love the edit and change of attire for the one sentence :D

[@Enragedmonkey8]

Love this style of video , keep up the good work

[@llucioo]

the stuff about vaal side areas i did't know at all!! I'm so happy i decided to watch this video anyway!

[@HowdyOaks]

Thanks for bringing this series back!

[@helljau7780]

Awsome series idea !! Hope you do all the build defining ones😍

[@JeanBen1]

Great content ! Thanks I learned a lot

[@corpsehound]

Loved the old series; happy you’re bringing it back!

[@andreasbrey6277]

Thank your for your excellent content, sirgog. I'd like to also mention good crafting and trade strats to get good or insane magic jewels. Including: Gilded fossil crafting to have a 50% chance to protect an insane implicit or split beasts for a three stat jewel with two excellent explicits, etc. :)

[@sirgog]

Yeah, there's a lot of things people do to optimize these further

[@HasXXXInCrocs]

Love this idea!! As a brand new player (literally started day 1 of necro league, only ~100 played) I see items like this and have absolutely no idea what it means even after reading the wiki, especially things like Lions Pride. Plus, I just like learning about the game! Clicked the bell, hope to see more soon.

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz__]

Hell yeah, I’m hype for this series

[@hauntcharged]

Love to see this series brought back

[@Westover]

Wonderful video

[@Evilclown5609]

Love this series! Please do moar for 3.25!

[@LunaTulpa]

12:00 if you have a second person to drag along, one person can have an inventory of scour, the other with chance orbs, and spam it until you hit the unique with adorned, empty showcased it recently

[@branbrannut1061]

1:57 bro wardrobe swapped

[@sirgog]

yeah thought someone would notice that. Got really cold while editing so wore a warm jacket

[@Riastrad04]

I'm certain there's something out there we're missing that would make a 50% adorned build enabling, but I haven't had much luck putting the pieces together.

[@ballisticus1]

The adorned is so far beyond my scrub skill level, but i am gobsmacked to learn there are unique vaal side areas. Playing on-and-off since breach--TIL...

[@sirgog]

You can definitely get a 115-119% one in trade pretty easily. Arguably the third best item under 10 divines this league (Taste of Hate and Headhunter being the better two, HH obviously not at a price typical for its history)

[@dalwand]

N1, looking forward to rest of series. How was private league? Will you recap video on it?(Like, how was economy different?)

[@sirgog]

It's been fun. I think I'll go later again in future, the BPL interruption somewhat wound it up. Not really enough trading for a real economy - trades happen, but private league players tend to self-select people who are SSF-oriented. I don't think I've traded with either of the level 100s, for example.

[@ripcurrent2484]

@@sirgog Are you still accepting new members in your private league. Thought I would give it a shot even though it is over in a week

[@sirgog]

@@ripcurrent2484 yep. Will let you in as soon as I can

[@TROZJAN]

Got 124% adorned 30 divine it cost tried scour chancing areas took like 1200 attempts to hit chaos area then I vaal orbed area and it changed to rare area kick in the teeth. Do you need to vaal orb the unique chaos bane area or can you run it un-corrupted

[@sirgog]

Run it uncorrupted

[@anthoshkagaming4386]

I think you should have highlighted how powerful those vaal implicits can be, besides the RMR. Like if you run as few as 6magic jewels you can get curse, poison and bleed immune from those vaal implicits alone. IT really lightens the burden on the rest of your stuff and particularly flask affixes/pantheon. Last not on that, people go crazy for bleeding immunity corruptions on rings when they could just just those magic jewels.

[@bjorn9875]

Scour + chancing vaal side areas is not that bad! IF you are 2 people, 1 with scours, 1 with chance orbs + click bound to scroll wheel. Solo, I agree that it does seem miserable! IIRC Empyrian did this?

[@grindingcurrency]

Does the Vaal side areas have to be rare to corrupt them to unique? I think it shouldn't matter but I'm not sure.

[@sirgog]

Can't find definitive answers.

[@grindingcurrency]

@@sirgog Thx for your attempt! I will make them rare now. They don't show up too often on the map I'm running at the moment (Underground River). Maybe Reef would be better, but I already have a 143% Adorned. And thats for RF good enough. 150 would only give me some more reservation efficiency.

[@kingzluv6359]

Am i dumb or just misundrrstanding that adorned doesnt work with jewel sockets coming from cluster?

[@sirgog]

If the buff comes from the jewel socket - +50+150% If it comes from a different node, no boost. If you allocate only the cluster and none of the nodes it adds to the tree and that allocation gives the boost - % increase

[@taisharx]

my jewels socketed into clusters seem to still be affected by the adorned buff?

[@sirgog]

Yep, those will be. They are on your tree and jewel sockets provide the buff. It's the cluster small nodes that don't scale

[@taisharx]

@@sirgog ahhh i see what your saying. thanks for the clarification.

[@taisharx]

btw, love your vids man. keep it up. aussie poe player here. watch every one of your videos

[@TheDJEON]

Adorned is too powerful as it stands. Far too many builds follow a path of budget -> mid investment -> high investment -> adorned. I love the design of the item, but I think it would be far healthier if it didn't work with cluster jewels. It didn't work with them when originally released and it was still a good item.

[@lightofscorpio9396]

i tried scour chancing, and you dont want to do this, ill never do it ever again. you dont understand how painful it is, until you do it yourself.

[@sirgog]

FIRST

[@sirgog]

howdy mate!

[@dokken63]

Adorned is so good, i think its detrimental to the game

[@sirgog]

I feel it's close to that threshold, but under it. It's not as much of a build diversity reducer as Mageblood is.

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

@@sirgog I would happy trade Adorned being drop disabled for That Which Was Taken being added back to the game. Adorned is a pure power item, whereas TWWT let us play with some actually 'new' (not on our class) game mechanics.

[@haruplays2573]

Build that doesn't use adorned is missing out 🤣

[@bozy0223]

adorned only works with CORRUPTED magic jewels??

[@sirgog]

Correct. It's 50-50 to not brick the jewel on vaaling it, and half the time that it doesn't brick, it gets better.

[@bozy0223]

@@sirgog wait so i’ve been using just regular magic jewels and not getting bonus of them? wow

[@tonyVBergeron]

I assembled my first adorned yesterday and got a 150% lmao. This video is right in time for me ! ty Sirgog.

[@TomS699]

hi cutedog_

[@sirgog]

i love how you got in before his "first" post :)

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

I feel like adorned is genuinely overhyped. People keep using it for all builds, when in reality is worse than using rare jewels with good clusters. For example, I took all cold dot pobs from ninja and swapped the adorned setup and I always got way more damage. The only advantage adorned has realistically is that it gives a large ES pool, which is overkill in most cases anyway. And the corruptions you get are most of the time meaningless (example: reservation is fixed already with good gear). However, for a lancing steel trickster build, adorned is bis, since stacking ES gives you damage with ephemeral edge. So yeah, for that build I have no comment. For crit builds...it's probably bis too most likely. Also the corruptions here matter, since these builds can't put mana reservation on gear like a dot build, so adorned has even more value. For my dot builds, this is the tierlist: meh jewels < adorned

[@sirgog]

Varies by build. Reservation though is sublime as you can get rid of other sources of the stat, or go +1 aura. For instance you have to pick one Eater implicit on helm - 12% MRE (top tier) or 8% phys taken as X (again, top tier) - with the Adorned you might be able to dump that 12% to get way tankier

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

@@sirgog Yeah I edited the comment, I realized crit builds can't get reservation easily. Or any other build that is not dot for that matter. Varies by build indeed, no doubt about that. The reason why I said is overhyped is that literally everyone tries to incorporate the jewel in their builds without thinking what it does and what it gives. A mindless search for adorned basically. The jewel is still insanely good regardless.

[@etzool]

This is an unfortunate example of truly bad design. It hasn't just become a unique most high-end builds _use_ (looking at you, Mageblood), it's made the way high-end _passive trees_ are designed homogeneous and dull. It's unobtainable to most of us and there's fundamentally no way to tweak an Adorned tree to make it work without the item.
