14 Catarinas 0 Veiled Orbs in SSF - Can we get a buff to drop chance or veiled chaos back GGG?

The Headhunter experience is absolutely ruined by the flicker strike/blink/dash/whatever rare mod
Please remove this mod from the pool of stealable mods, or remove it from the game entirely. It ruins the entire thing.
I popped on a Headhunter to level from 99 to 100 since it was cheap this league and every time I stole this mod i asbolutely hated it.
Oh you wanna click this shrine? It would be a real shame if your character uncontrollably moved every few seconds and completely threw you off constantly.

Low prices does not = bad league
How do you guys feel about this? It feels like most the leagues I’ve played the ones with the lowest prices I seem to have the most enjoyment in? Is this just a me thing?

I love Ritual
So I always do a ritual & deli strat on my Atlas, running a few maps to tick off my atlas and then I get a mirror appear in the top corner, 6.8k tribute which I thought was incredibly low. 2 maps later it's in the bag. Time to go shopping

Does awakened POE have a function to block people listing maps for chisels?
Maybe I don't understand the reason why people are listing their items for chisels, but I assume its some form of price setting. Is there a way to simply ignore them all at once? Like maybe set my awakened POE trade to only show chaos or div?
Thanks!

Are T17s a better chaos sink than divines for meta mod crafting?
In this league divines are not as useful because the graveyard is doing all the heavy lifting for crafting. In the next league however the mechanic will go away bringing back the biggest divine orb sink which is meta mod crafting (end game crafting). Now because T17s can only be rolled with chaos orbs, chaos orbs will never lose their value. It will be interesting to see what ratio of Div:chaos will be next league.

Loot from 817 Uber Maven (6.2 Mirror profit) and 400 Uber Sirus (446 div profit)
TL;DR: Uber Maven, 6.2 Mirror/2928 div over 817 runs. (Past 3 days, last 517 runs, was +5.6 Mirror, giving an average 4.65 div/run profit here, did not look at div/h)
Uber Sirus: 446 div profit over 400 runs. 23.8 div/h
Continuing the data from previous post : https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1c6p7df/loot\_from\_300\_uber\_maven\_100\_regular\_maven\_100/
Part 1, Maven:
Wanted to improve previous data on Progenesis drop rate, so farmed 100 of them, turned out to be really profitable past 3 days when fragments went down from 2.2div/frag to average 1.9div/frag.
In combination to this Progenesis went up with like 6 div to \~74div, all good gems went up in price, good IE kept stable price, orb in bulk went up, etc.
Droprate data and profit breakdown:
817 maven run drop rates
Proof of currency (and leftover low value IE/gems not selling):

Conclusion: Uber Maven is very profitable, if frag price is low, Progenesis and gem prices are high, and you do many sets, as you just sustain sets on Flasks+IE. Profit is mainly from Gems/Exceptional gems.
This is very noticeble when first 300 runs was 270div profit (run 14-16 April with high frag price) and last 571 runs was 2645 div profit (run at 19-21 april with low frag price, and more Exceptional Gem drops).
Longest Bad luck streak first 300: -300 div
Longest Bad luck streak last 517: -150 div
If someone is interested in specific Impossible Escape keystone weightings, I can get data on that aswell if requested.
Part 2, Sirus:
Hello, Sirus enjoyer here again, he still feels bad to run, the monotony of his drop pool really gets to you after a few hundred runs.
If they fiddle with him in the next league, i’ll be back to do it again for more data, but for now i’m done, I hear his voicelines in my dreams.
Here is the build I ran most of the sets with: https://pobb.in/2E0Yi2DsvA\_F
Swapped out of heavystrike after the first 100 sets because being a special snowflake wasn’t worth my sanity.
Droprate data and profit breakdown:
400 Uber Sirus droprates
Project boss droprate data over for us atleast, hope it can come to use, best of luck exiles

Just hit an absolutely unethical corruption in the temple
So I was pretty done with my build and wasn't quite sure what to do with the currency I had left or if I wanted to do another build, so I just bought some uber bosses, dropped an omniscience, went into the temple and hit this. I guess maybe I'll sell this and do another build after all, but how would I even price this?

I used the most deranged (treeless) strategy to farm 16 div / hour
Hello there!
Since I've been hearing a lot of "no money to be made this league", "you need full juice to make mouneiys" and other hurr durrs I made it a quest for myself to get rich in the most bullshit ways possible.
Let me introduce you to my latest addition to the club:
Black Mórrigan farming (seriously why is there an accent on the o it is incredibly unnecessary and I keep pressing the wrong button on my keyboard in trade 7 times before I give up and just type rrigan)
Here's some raw stats straight away since I know you guys like spreadsheets:
it's not pretty don't judge me i made this while selling
So, here's the setup:
NO ATLAS TREE (so you can keep your boring meta farm stuff without snorting unmakings like an addict)
White T16 maps - I ran Strands, because Strand = yay
Scarabs: Bestiary Scarab, Bestiary Scarab of Duplicating, Bestiary Scarab of the Shadowed Crow
No map craft, exarch altars
THE STRAT: BIRD AND GO
1. Hate yourself and any form of enjoyment
2. Turn off your brain
3. Map in
4. Check for any fun league mechanic conversions - trust me, you're running white maps, the ONE divine conversion you get this league will be on one of those
5. Find and kill Black Mo̷̡̥͕̲̝̞̖͕͒rrigan - you'll learn how to find it very quickly, it's big and a unique mob
6. Wait for the most hated NPC (Vagan is not in the game anymore, chill) to move his lazy ass over to your new found best friend worth 14c and net it
7. On map 14 and 28 of your exarch rotation, kill the boss (you can be smart and prepare the maps in sets of 14 so you don't miss the kill!)
8. Leave
Took me about 80 minutes of run time, that was with a break of around 10 minutes in the middle to forcefully bang my head against a wall.
Another 10 minutes go down for sealing the beasts with bestiary orbs because IT STILL IS A THING YOU HAVE TO DO MANUALLY FOR SOME STUPID REASON
Selling surprisingly only took around 30 minutes (thanks to the absolute chad unit bulk buying 60 beasts - whatever he may do with them)
That comes out to a total of a very accurate 2 hour run in which we dropped:
170 beasts (duh)
3 invitations each (double duh)
... and that already turns out to be over 9 div / hour in 100% guaranteed drops
We also got:
1 exalt conversion mod (told you it was going to be on a white map!)
5 chaos conversion mods
2 additional item beasts
1 shaper + 1 wealth allflame
All the other stuff that still drops like T17 maps and what not is not listed. Total for these items only is 4070 chaos which is exactly 990 chaos more than my GPU has RTX, or, because people with bad builds need to roll T17s, 40.7 divines.
Substract the cost for everything we bought and we get 31.75 div profit.
TL;DR:
If you hate yourself, run some bestiary, it's dumb. Also, here is a picture of a bird.
waaaay cooler than mörrigan bird

As soon as Divines are 100c ea everyone wants to trade them instead of chaos...
I've been dumping some items today and I noticed that all of a sudden everyone wants to trade divine instead of chaos. I let the first few trades today go getting shorted like 20c - 40c per trade because people are trading 200c as a divine and 60c and I'm lazy so I didn't correct them that divs are 100c, but then I started realizing that in past leagues I would rarely get a divine and 50c for a 200c sale, yet now its every single trade. I have had to correct like 6 people now that divines are not worth 140c anymore and I am like 99% sure they knew that and were trying to scam me essentially. Really wish the majority of people weren't always trying to pull one over on people and I didn't have to closely scour every trade because no one wants to be honest...
People tell me they didn't know the price of a divine but 1) you should probably know the value of something you are trading in place of the chaos it was listed for, and 2) I have never gotten this many divine offers instead of chaos for smaller trades which makes me think all of these people 100% know what they are doing. Playing this game as a new player must be a nightmare.

A simple explanation on "Maps found have x% chance to become 1 tier higher"
I stumbled across this Youtube video about T17 map farming, stating the following about map drops:
You can drop only T16 maps with 4 voidstones allocated, so taking more of the higher map tier chance nodes will have no effect.
Based on the comments, people are unsure of how map equity works, so I thought it would be helpful to clarify.
Detailed GGG response on map equity: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3130696
A simple way to look at it:
~~50% chance to drop maps of a higher tier = 50% more maps dropped~~
~~200% chance to drop maps of a tier higher = 200% more maps dropped~~
EDIT: This is wrong, see u/Milfshaked 's comment below
This means that taking all the higher map tier chance nodes on the atlas(85%) will result in ~~42.5%~~ more T16 maps dropped, if you have 4 voidstones allocated.
The Cartography Scarab of Ascension is also underrated, as its "Maps found in area are a tier higher" effect results in ~~\~35%~~ more maps dropped, if you have 4 voidstones and all the map tier atlas nodes. This is multiplicative to base carto scarabs, making it the second-best scarab option for boosting map drops.
EDIT: These numbers are also wrong, Cartography Scarab of Ascension seems to be the worst carto scarab
Based on u/Milfshaked's comment below, these values seem to be:
+1 tier = 39% more T16 maps.
+2 tiers = An additional 27% more T16 maps, or 77% more than baseline.
+2.85 tiers (max with scarab+tree+watchstones) = An additional 16% more, or 105% more than baseline.
Using scarab + all the atlas passives gives 47% more T16 maps than just using the watchstones.
Or perhaps the most relevant example. If you have all the atlas passive nodes and all watchstones, the map tier scarab gives you about 19% more T16 maps.

Loot from 100x Uber Cortex and 100x normal Cortex
Video here \- TLDR here in post
It was 7000c for the 100 regular cortex and 6500c for the 100 uber ones - pretty much the same buy in
The loot from the non uber was... not good. I dropped 8 garbs and three bottled faiths, i lost 2000 chaos
The loot from the uber one was a lot better, i dropped 7 of the new apostates which totalled to 41 divines - 1 reliquary key although 0 sublime visions. If i didnt drop a good nebulis and good mask i would have lost money though
Dropped a double damage nebulis (sold for 65d) and curse effect of non auras mask (sold for 30d)
Money gained from Uber cortex was 10300c profit. Worked out to be around 13 divines an hour. Minus the nebulis/mask i would have lost 1100c
Also friendly reminder uber cortex does not drop rare synth bases anymore
All in all Uber Cortex is honestly pretty badly nerfed with the loot table change and regular cortex is not great either, even if i doubled the amount of bottled faiths id still be making pretty poor money for "uber boss farming". I wouldnt do either outside of feared farming
Id rather go back and farm another 100x trialmasters, feels like the best bosses this leagues are ones with guaranteed drops (frags, catalysts, uber shards etc) and Cortex isnt one of those.
From everything ive heard and experienced bossing as a whole got shafted this league, theres some that are good but it really feels like if you want to boss just run invitations. Ill end up testing out 100x of every uber anyway for myself
