Is sending crops worth it ?

i specced my atlas to kingsmarch + essence + some occasional heist contracts, but from ive seen so far the gear i get from boats is … meh rarely when i find a rare item, unless i send a shitload of crops all at once ( and that is a massive gold sink that can be spent elsewhere, hell even on mappers)
so i would like to know what the ruthless community thinks ?

Poe ruthless for me?

Hello community.

I’ve never played Path of Exile. I’m more of a Soulslike player, and I also play WoW Classic. I enjoy games where progression takes time, nothing holds your hand, and you have to struggle a bit to earn your rewards. However, I’m not particularly interested in endgame farming.

I’m wondering if PoE Ruthless could be a good fit for this kind of playstyle. I feel like finishing the campaign in Ruthless mode could be a challenge in itself and might push me to really understand all aspects of the game.

What’s your opinion on this?

I’m not looking for efficiency or following a meta “cookie-cutter” build just to reach my goals. I also don’t really enjoy builds where you just run around passively killing everything. I prefer more active gameplay, with multiple abilities to manage and a bit of skill involved.

Sorry, English isn’t my native language.

Its also fine if you think arpg genre is not for me .

I ve also tried grimdawn in veteran mode and its ok so far .

Thx

SSF Ruthless Vaal Absolution Guardian build help

Returning player here, right now I am doing T13-14 maps, focused on Breach Hives. I need help with my build , yesterday I dropped a High armor shield with life , before I was using high chance to block shield with low armor not sure which one is better? Is more armor+life better or just focus on block? Any league mechanics I should focus on? Any suggestions are welcome

here is my poe ninja : https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/miragessfr/character/killeramgg-6582/Notat?i=40&search=class%3DGuardian

I made a support build in poe ruthless that can possibly quadruple your dps, anyone wants to play?

I’ve been playing Flame Link support for 4 leagues in a row now, but this league I finally managed to make the build as strong as I always wanted it to be and it is in ruthless!.

What I can provide if we duo:

  • Level 28 Flame Link (My character has 11k HP, so the link currently gives 926 to 1113 flat fire damage. The gem is still missing one level, so it can probably go close to 1200 flat fire damage lol)
  • All three elemental damage auras at level 25 (Anger, Hatred, Wrath) with Summon Elemental Relic Guardian ascendancy
  • Around level 40~ Haste and Determination (Victario’s Influence + Hand of Phrecia give overall 35% increased aura effect to these, and since those auras numbers doesnt scale well with gem levels, they end up around level 40 values)
  • +100% MORE Currency Quantity (Yes, since 3.26 we get 100% more currency/additional party members scaling, it’s pretty crazy) and all loot is yours!
  • +15% Spell Block Chance (Guardian ascendancy)
  • Level 26 Precision (Hand of Phrecia gives 21% increased effect)
  • If you’re close to enemies (melee players with advantage), enemies around you get Fire, Cold, and Lightning Exposure
  • My movement speed adapts to yours while linked, so you don’t have to worry about me falling behind
  • I’m pretty tanky (Lvl 90, 77% elemental resistances, 30% chaos resistance, 78% block and spell block, plus gain life on block shield (thanks to a friend I met ingame) with 11k HP and 700 ES so I probably won’t die no matter what maps we run)

I Hyperlinked everything if you want to take a good look at the specific stuff!

Important notes:

  • If your build is DOT-based or uses Brutality, I provide no damage (since added dmg doesnt increase DOTS, and Brutality makes you deal no elemental dmg)
  • Physical builds will probably deal around 2x damage, but can reach higher (depends on a few things like increased damage nodes, etc.)
  • Elemental builds can reach around 4x damage depending on how much increased elemental damage scaling you already have

Of course monsters also get tankier in party play:

  • White monsters: +50% HP
  • Magic monsters: +60% HP
  • Rare monsters: +80% HP
  • Unique monsters: +100% HP

So physical builds may mostly feel the difference during clear speed, while elemental builds can realistically get up to 3x stronger even against uniques.

Mainly I’m looking to finish the “Astral Aggression” and “Neverending Nightmares” challenges, so the stronger your character is the better, but honestly I’m happy to play with anyone regardless of your dps just to have some fun in maps.

My character if you want to take a look at it: FlameLinkShrine. Write here, or add me ingame.

Thanks for reading, and I hope we play will play soon :D
