Zizaran jumps from topic to topic, and he should start from easiest things. And I feel he makes it look more complicated then it really is. He explains how to get first white maps and sudenly he is showing voidstones, for new players who need to know how to progress the atlas this is really not necessary... and add time stamps, pls.

This is amazing, I was just looking for a video on this! There’s so much content on getting through the campaign faster but there was a huge gap for what comes after that this video covers.

bro you put so much effort into your content its actually really impressive

[@AndrisVilde]

Surprised that you didn't mention Harbinger Orb and Orb of Hirozons. Both are also good for rolling maps you haven't completed. Also there are Scouting reports which give bonus to get a map you haven't finished yet, for example, the Scouting report for getting Unique maps.

[@jungroan]

do you know how many sets of kirac maps are deterministic? I know the first overgrown shrine you can buy is always possessed+exiles and the first haunted mansion is always phys as + turbo + charge theft + flask gain. i wonder if you could deterministically map out kirac resets each league and plan your first maps around that.

the level of detail you know about this game is absurd

[@IamFrench__]

Thank you, I learned a lot !

[@tetralogy6727]

Proper teaching attire and hairstyle. Thank you for the great content as always.

[@myowngrave5878]

Very well explained although the thumbnail absolutely doesn't fit on this one lol Few additions worth to mention: - the atlas skill tree doesn't affect kirac missions, only the special kirac ones do. (Therefore if you block any content, it'll appear on kirac missions) - imo "stream of consciousness" is a good option on early mapping for more content! - I noticed that kirac sometimes rerolls his selling stock or adds a few new maps WITHOUT starting one of his missions, so be sure to check now and then (I'm not 100% sure when he does this, I believe it's when you reach a certain point on atlas progress)

[@CouchOwner2]

Kirac might update when you do your first yellow-tier and red-tier maps... although i can't say i've ever paid attention to that. I think he still rerolls his inventory when the daily mission comes through too, doesn't he?

[@Zizaran]

There was a mistake in the thumbnail! Thanks for pointing it out. My brain decided to use the wrong word despite thinking of the correct one. -Skryah

[@TheBeeFart]

I'm really looking forward to the leveling changes, the new masteries like Flat life/mana regen is gonna be such a big QoL and I think the changes in general are in a good direction, moving power away from archaic/awkward mechanics like item recipes that 90-99% players don't know about to the skill tree/items.

[@Meitti]

@@ryanchiasson7211 This League is going to live and die based on how fun the League mechanic itself is. So basically just like 98% of other Leagues.

[@TheCosmicAstro-]

Some nice qol but they took away damage which is a problem. They didnt add easily accessible damage for leveling. The only leveling that got buffed was bow/attack based which is nice but nerfed everything else which is not nice.

[@supersonicgamerguru]

Even if only tier 16 maps are capable of dropping, the increased tier of dropped maps stat is still very useful as the times that the game attempts to drop a map of a tier that isn't droppable will add to an equity pool, and every tier higher that it drops will increase the equity, which will eventually be dumped into a map drop off your desired tier. For every 100% chance to drop as 1 tier higher, you effectively triple your map drops.

[@Jtown2367]

Thank you Prof Ziz!

[@Totschlagen1799]

Quick question, do you have the do the legion stuff every league to get the 5 item map device?

[@metzli5797]

[@SchitzoControl]

Does diviniation drops change locations between leagues? Am thinking of going bow build, and used divcards to find out dry sea drops 6-link div card.

[@zwan1886]

If starting bows (SSF) is it preferable to shape the atlas to try to only run maps that drop imperial legacy?

[@abebuckingham8198]

If you have 7 of the same map you have 35 possible ways to choose 3 without considering the order. If you have 8 that goes up to 56 possibilities. Theoretically they could all combine into the same map in every possible combination but the odds of that are staggeringly low.

[@MrTernation]

I normally go for the 2 red blue pinacle bosses then maven but after that i nomally give up because shaper and elder is so boring and rng to progress into, but the most efficient way is to spec into those and spam t14+ right? any tips around this matter?

Can you do lessons on endgame mechanics like delirium, expeditions, etc. ? And some common ways to juice that content with atlas passives?

[@adamtennant4936]

Holding alt to see completion only works if you have the detailed descriptions turned on in settings.

[@marcosdheleno]

i know this has nothing to do with the video, but i was curious so i gotta ask, the vaal artic armor, what will happen if you use it with the unstoppable from juggernaught? will you still be locked? or does the skill surpass the gem effect and allow you to still move while under the effect of being frozen? if so, could you combo with winterheart or berek's pass?

[@JackFrost69]

2 options here. Either is similar to the elder locking in place before the shaper bonks him (Unstoppable cannot negate that effect), or you can simply move and act at base action speed.

[@Varangian_af_Scaniae]

I started playing PoE again a few days ago. I like this version of the Atlas, have they stopped doing major changes to the Atlas? I quit many years ago because they did major overhauls to the Atlas every expansion. I had to redo the Atlas every time I jumped in to waste a few hours. Sure it was the same this time but as I like the way this Atlas works it has been fun unlocking it again.

[@Prizzadar]

Thank you very much, i have played few hundreds hours and didnt know i can sell those maps 3 to 1 for higher tier.🎉

[@ShellyBBird]

Thank you

[@M1k3_]

2k hours play time and I didn't know the map swap mech.. I play ssf. This will help alot, thank you

[@HStalhane]

I just started playing the game this league, came from D3, getting two voidstones and killing elder was pretty easy but Shaper is giving me some trouble because you actually have to develop a feel for the mechanics, can't just run in circles all fight.

[@SAOxANIsnipe]

quick question you said in the vid not to roll maps early in softcore. did you mean just alch and go? or not roll them at all early?

[@caliber3054]

I believe what Ziz meant by that was he wouldn't be overly picky about re-rolling maps which you have already rolled that end up having unfavorable mods in softcore. If it's a mod that breaks your build then sure, roll over it but if it's only going to make things a little risky or rippy then you don't need to be too picky, particularly early-league. You'll nearly always want to roll maps imo, transmute at the very minimum(white maps bonus objective).

[@markuslc1888]

2:07 i love that as a new player "...if you were overwhelmed before, get rdy to be overwhelmed again."😅

[@nico206]

Question: You don't use currency in Trade League on Maps - but do you use it the first time you run the map for the atlas passive skill or do you just try to advance to higher maps until enough maps/currency drops anyway to run those for the passives?

[@basti3016]

If you are sc, I would definitely do the bonus the first time around and after that I would alch every yellow and red map, because usually you won’t run out of those alchs at that point

[@Arrythmic798]

Horizon orb does not change the implicit mod on the map. Shaper guardian maps have implicit "influenced by shaper" and the name of the map tells which one it is, and the name can be changed. Elder and awakener maps have the bosses name in the implicit mod, which cannot be changed. This is why only shaper guardian maps can be switched but not others.

[@RedDragonFlayer]

consol league starts tomorrow and I tried understanding this video, will probably need to find a written version. It's just a lot of information at once that all seem very important

[@darkknightx0992]

Just take your time, learn one thing and then move on to the next. Don't try to learn as efficiently as possible, just learn solutions as problems arise.

[@wogvorph]

How to get to maps and not switch builds every 50 levels tho?

[@chrisdegner704]

question, is it more important early league to do a t16 map white/blue to just get the completion but not the bonus? or on first run always try to get the bonus?

[@harkonan5913]

personally I always alch red maps, and im always in crappy ssf gear, dont be afraid to waste a few chaos rerolling it to an easier one and you shouldnt have much trouble.

[@sir.torantino2110]

I have taken screenshots and screen recordings.. I haven't done any Atlas Maps ever so.. I understand what u talking but I don't understand meaning of it all.. if that makes sense.. Gonna start doing maps now hope it all makes sense soon 😄 tanks for da lessons great video.

[@BlackCatXIII]

can you please give me the website address to check the map drop card in the video you used

[@ADINSX3]

You say that to get an uncompleted map to drop, you need to run a connected map of the *previous* tier. But I believe you can run any connected map? You can get an uncompleted T15 to drop from a connected T16, and so on. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[@jaraxel888]

[@SilQ92]

[@ranoknas]

Thanks for the vid Ziz, some questions. - How much damage/defences do you need roughly for yellow/red maps for melee, range attack/spell, dot based builds? I am afraid of dying too much even in softcore while playing as seismic trap last league and was the only one I completed the atlas on. Does rerolling more dangerous mods away help? - Is Wandering Path worth for early game map progression?

[@andrewbell6855]

1/ exact damages/defences for each difficulty is relative and vibes based, you can feel how hard things should be. you shouldn't die every map, you should kill most packs with 1 skill and bosses shouldnt take longer than like 30 secs. That said on SC its worth pushing through too difficult content to finish off the atlas. 2/ When you die, check the mod list by pressing tab. When you recognise a mod after seeing it repeatedly, have a think about why you died, and then make a decision on whether to roll over it later. most people roll over reflect mods, or no regen if you need regen, or a mix of a bunch of crit, proj, damage as extra. Shocked ground sucks and lots of people die to it, but idk if anyone rolls over it. Don't go spending 10 scour/alchs on every map, but if your reaction is "sheesh" to a set of mods then its fine to just roll over it. 3/To get 100% chance to drop a connected map and maps duplicated? not really. If you get all the "shaping" nodes you should have just fine sustain, its never been easier in POE to sustain maps due to those passives.

[@harkonan5913]

the damage/defenses are definitely something you will 'feel', but there is a huge variance in difficulty on every set of map mods too, so just push as high as you feel comfortable, then do easy looking ones from the tier above, and save the rippy stuff for later.

[@Rufgaudas]
