Overall, absolutely adore this video. Lots of useful information there. My only critique is that while you talked about which _ascendency_ classes would be most suited to particular types of content, it might have been more useful for newer players to have specific build suggestions. For veterans like you and me, that's not as important since we know what types of content put what stresses on a character, but a newer player might have a build that can tackle, say, Ritual quite effectively, but not really know what types of content their build can "overlap" with.

One thing to note about sanctum: you get a lot less drops (only mini bosses drop actual loot), which means your gold income will probably be very scuffed. Furthermore the whole league mechanic is tied to maps, so that's also means you won't be progressing anything in there. I'm foreseeing quite astronomical osin costs again :D.

Based video. The pairing of a strat with your build is the most important thing in a league start and the only people that talk about it are the ones that put up guides for very specific builds designed to run out of map content (like sanctum runners or heisters). One small comment... in my experience doing runs for atlas progression the shaping nodes are not a priority. I never take them before all the connected map drop nodes because without voidstones to help you leverage the equity system they don't do as much as people think. Most of the time it will just upgrade t1 maps to t2 which you don't need cause you are already in high yellows or early reds. Have a great league start!

As an Incursion fan, I missed my favorite Gold Digger, Alva. We saw that some essences will come through the expansion mechanics, it's hard to say if the price will be "normal" or the low price of the necrolopis. The temples of Alva are irreplaceable, allowing you to make the vaal skill gems 21/20 or double corrupt uniques, although at the beginning of the league the demand tends to be lower. It's also a strategy that doesn't require any investment in Scarabs, working very well with Kirac's missions.

Just my experience, I'll have to keep some of the info here in mind though. Good stuff.

Man, no love for Alva? I admit I'm a noob at this game (albeit one with many, many hours in it), but I've found Alva to be really underrated, at least in recent leagues. Get the right rooms in the temple and they can sell quickly and easily, and if you spec into it on the atlas, those lucrative rooms are extremely common. Plus it's really, really easy to run for most builds with minimal gear. Of course there are more lucrative strats, but I dunno, to completely skip over Alva seems unwarranted.

Hey I am giving you a heads up now before I post my findings on Reddit so you don’t call me out like you did last time when I bought 1700 harbinger scarabs to run in standard after the fracturing shard introduction (which I still stand by my findings whether I got unlucky or not) Anyways, this time around, I prepared 250 simulacrums to run once league starts ( I don’t plan on playing this league) and I will post my findings after I run all of them. It wasn’t easy buying that many after the 3.25 announcement (you could easily buy simulacrums for 20c in std before the announcement) If you would like any proof of my 250 simulacrums I bought and any info on the build I’ll be running you are more than welcome to hit me up and I can share everything I have in game. Just please don’t accuse me of skewing any of my findings from my 250 runs. I am an honest person and I have zero intention of ruining any market whatsoever ever as before I have no intention of playing this league so there is no point of me doing so Thanks

I put around 1500 hours into PoE before burning out and coming back years later for this league. I think one strategy people should seriously consider in tandem to whatever content they like is to disregard currency entirely. Why? PoE has a focus on getting better, getting quicker, getting richer. You end up putting a lot of pressure on yourself to do those things and after a certain point you start seeing diminishing returns. Those diminishing returns can make you feel frustrated, like you always need a better item or more currency to progress, but it's impossible to keep improving forever. It's one reason people feel so different when they play solo self found, when the only use for currency is to consume it the game feels completely different. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you *enjoy* it. If that's filling the screen with molten strike balls that's fine. If that's doing white blight maps all league that's fine. If that's joining in the last 2 weeks of the league so you can buy everyone else's equipment and smash the bosses that's fine too. Don't be like me and burn out, the only real reason to play PoE is to HAVE FUN.

TBH this is what I do usually. If my league goals include getting O-Sin or other chase items I follow the currency advice here - but this league I'm goofing off lots. Even goofing off, I'll have resources to trade into a Mageblood by week 5 or 6 if I want one.

I’ll farm up gold up till act 5 then start upgrading so that come white maps I’ll be able to have a good foot hold. FOR THE COWGIRL!!!!!! Edit-one thing you didn’t mention is that any mechanic that spits out monsters Ie:ritual/abyss/ulti/blight SHOULD spit out gold like a ruptured Fort Knox (we of course don’t know but would assume so) so those mechanics should definitely be worth investing in
