Torchlight SS5 // 22FE Per Map Test // GoW, Aeterna, Nightmare, Dark Surge, Beacons

[@deadkodo]

Quick build question. I got a legendary magnus's sceptre hero relic and curious if it is worth it using as I haven't seen it in a lot of the builds when I have been looking at them.

[@Gooba03]

I'll have a look when I login later, I'm unfamiliar with it myself. If you're HP. Then it's hard to go past the Phys per Max HP relic

[@mr.f6975]

When you say season pets is that just alice 1 ? Or multiple and what banner should I roll for. Finding the pet system a little confusing atm

[@Gooba03]

Kong is becoming available today I have heard. I will be rolling for Kong. Although I don't have many primos. Personally, I really enjoy nightmare, so Shephard is great. All previous seasonal pets are available now, so roll for the content you enjoy as you'll enjoy the game more than just chasing the most FE per hour

[@mr.f6975]

@@Gooba03 I just started doing nightmares yesterday after watching your videos they are fun as, the map going blue is cool, and yeah just seen about the pet, I’m gonna get it soon

[@nummitz]

Very nice pactspirit guide, appreciate it very much!

[@Gooba03]

You're welcome! I forgot to mention it in the title etc! Glad you found it

[@michaeltechuk1305]

did this test give any ideas of modifications to the 7-2 dream rush? anyway to slap in darksurge there?

[@Gooba03]

I've taken some points from Nightmare up top. That nerfs the nightmare building a bit. Which is hurting. Using the Rusted Dark Surge and going for the boss nodes on the right. I've had a Doom and 2 ruin drop in a few maps. Feels ok. Overall loot seems less from the worse nightmares, but edicts are pricey.

[@michaeltechuk1305]

@@Gooba03 hmm so kind of a gamble then, accounting for compass price and worse nightmare loot

[@crazyviper]

For Boss rush in T8 check out Filthy Forest again. The T8 beacons are the cheapest of the zones, but the Starshards sell for 2.8-3 FE a pop compared to Chapel where Burning Lava Starshards sell for less than 2.

[@Gooba03]

Yeah I'll check it out again. I do love me some filthy forest. Some Aeterna mobs might spawn far away. But owell. Concessions!

[@robmikehawk]

Ive been farming blacksail and dark surge in t7/8 making a decent amount of fe per hour. Only thing you need stash and auction house space to sell stuff

[@slyace1301]

I tried blacksail for 1 day and all i could sell was invitations. Blacksail is a waste of time.

[@Gooba03]

All the auction slots

[@robmikehawk]

It takes a little bit of time to move some of the relics and memories but they do sail. I started doing it bc gemma 3 memories i needed were 600fe each at the time.

[@cutehitscan1225]

Hell yeah! I love the farming strats, only wish T8 was more worth it. Then need to buff rewards for T8+❤

[@jordi6153]

They’re missing giving the old deep space bonus for current 8-2+. It’s generally not worth it because mob drops have been severely nerfed so 90% of the profit is in the mechanics, most of which don’t scale with map drops (anymore). Not even chalk feels worth ATM because high stacks are very rare.

[@Gooba03]

Yeah FE pets feel bad this season for sure

[@TheTalamier]

Wait, did the confusion cards also give 100% additional drop quantity last season? I thought it was new this season to make up for the deepspace bonus. I never run a map without them.

[@jordi6153]

@@TheTalamier Yes. And from the first card.

[@watercra]

You need those 110K ES stacking Moto2 builds for survive! Lmao

[@Gooba03]

True lol

[@Joshua_Blue]

21:52 2fe from a juiced 8-4 map, wow. And people are saying that it's profitable.

[@Gooba03]

It's a bit of a joke hey

[@adityakumar-qq7si]

Awesome test man, appreciate u taking the bullet for the community, and yesh, this is exactlt what i have been ranting since the first nerf, it just feels bad to play the game, and that is the biggest failing for game like this, that relies on "loot explosion".

[@Gooba03]

I'm hearing the mega expensive compasses yield insane results.

[@adityakumar-qq7si]

@@Gooba03 hmm, really?, k I guess gotta try it then, any strats u know if?
