Played since warbands, one of the best leagues ever ~~ Newbie tips+

I love the fact that currency is dropping in amounts where we can easily craft gear throughout, i love that the focus is put more on learning strategys for the atlas your build can do and less so on mindless grinding.

Honestly, ive complained alot over the years, truthfully this is one of my favorite leagues to date, the mirage in a map is fun because the adrenaline/character buffs can help you get the exp/drops you need when under geared, or get you the fat loot once you are. The currency trading feels fluid and dynamic, faustus trading makes my life easier.

After playing this game for like 20~ years, me and EA guild have had alot of fun this league and wanted to make a nice complimenting post.

My only gripe is that whisper trading sort of dies to Asynchronous trading via faustus because people dont want to whisper and get ignored, I get it, but , dont give up on whisper trades, im old school and dont put everything in faustus.

Also TLDR

make binding orbs able to hit maps or maybe cut the drop rate down a LOT, useless orb post campaign for the majority. (binding orb makes anything a 4 link rare)

Learned that / key in game pulls up trade window, revolutionary.
Exchange ratio on faustus board can be slightly manipulated , its based on real world contract style trading and i actually love that.

Yep pretty much agree with all of this.

Does binding orb no longer interact with maps? Hadn't tried it yet.

Mirage, 100% more currency drops.

Proceeds to drop single stack currencies.

One question i have is whats it considering a half of a chaos? etc? or is it saying that technically you wouldnt have got a chaos but 100% more made me drop one? confusing definitely, most mirages are good, the 100% more currency isnt as telegraphed as needed.

My understanding is the game decides if it is going to drop a basic currency item, it then rolls which one will drop from a weighted distribution. What they did this league, was change the weightings shifting some of the weight of lesser currencies, to more desirable currencies, like exalt and regal.

There is an example of what this distribution might look like on a table, here https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Emperor%27s_Luck

This was prior to the current changes from this league, as you can see, DIV and EX was weighted the same, which no longer is.

I assume with this mod, it probably is 100% more likely to have a basic currency item drop, then it is rolled which one from the regular weightings table. There are some mechanics in the game that will actually double the drop after it is decided which item it will be though, or possibly interact with the weightings, to make a more favorable item more likely.

Going to just update this as i find stuff.

Faustus trade board should be accepting of me wanting say, 1 divine and 25 chaos, and 12 fusing, why are we limited to accepting one type of currency for a trade, realistically this opens the market a bit instead of front loading value onto a few currency.
