I am new to this league. I came back after the rise of the abyssal league ( left that league around September 2025 ), and now grinding the last of the druids league since 2 days ago.

I remember back then when I was playing ( CoC Arc CoS Temporalis Spark Bloodmage ), Temporalis was around 180 divs or something. But yesterday when I checked, the cheapest is like 3 mirrors or 444444 exalts. Like what is this ?

Does things always get ridiculously expensive towards the end of the league ? I dont think it was like this last league and the league before that 🤔.

Its about 10 times easier to make that amount by playing this league, so prices went up as well. Also fubgun used a temporalis build earlier into the league, so a lot of people wanted one.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

CoC - Cast on Critical Strike (trigger mechanic, commonly used with Comet and other spells) (Wiki)

Did you play back when the exploit that allowed players to duplicate temporalis was still going?

Built a min maxed temple. Took about 200 hours of causal gameplay it was actually fun and rewarding. Frustrating at times but also gave me a good goal to strive towards. Farmed other mechanics at the same time while building it. Group farmed 6 man temples for about 150 hours of gameplay. Haven’t played since 0.0. Back then 80 divs felt like a lot to farm. One play session (4ish hours) carrying 6 man temples I can make 1-2000 divs depending on Vaal unique cultivation crafts. Doesn’t even feel real. On top of that you get the odd mirror or lock drops.

I’m at the point in the league where I don’t really know what else to do though. I have no desire to go back to POE1. I tried crafting. Shit is soulless. Burned 3k divs in jewels. Nothing sells at this point in the league. Sitting on about 10k divs with no idea what to do anymore. What are the rest of you doing in the stage of the league. Curious to hear your thoughts. Cheers!

Most people hit a point where they accomplished everything they wanted to accomplish in a league, so they quit and go do something else until next league. It sounds like you hit that point.

Yeah I hear you, I am pretty much done although I have a few mirrors. Sold my 3 socket temporalis and going to spend the rest of my mirrors trying to get an overcorrupt temporalis instead. For what, I dont know. Already wasted about 10 locks, will run out of funds soon at this point.

Yea I guess you spend the rest on locks for corrupts or sanctifies. But if you’re not going to be running anything anymore, what’s the point?

Maybe a few sehkemas. I hate how I end up farming for more than I need and then give some stuff out at the end and gamble other things. Next league or whenever I’m back, not going to min/max anymore. It can be easy to get obsessive over this stuff but you can complete most content with 10 divs. So I end up overfarming way too much for stuff I don’t really need.

I’m challenging myself to build around unique items. Did a zerphi’s Genesis bleed Ritualist, now I’m doing a plant oracle utilising Amor Mandragora and primal hunger.

That’s a fun idea there’s so many uniques and some are build enabling. Might give this some thought thanks for idea.

Well not alot of people played last league in general and when you played the first league it was harder to farm div also people were duplicating them so it was alot of stuff that changed.

Currency has been wildly available from min/maxed temple group play. People are able to rake in 100+ divines solo and 1000+ in group in about 15-20 minutes.

Temple like that takes 100 actual hours of gameplay without rng fails and general screw ups though.

It wasn’t as strong last league (or in 0.2), IIRC. Was certainly a thing but I remember that you had to spec a ton into the CDR interaction and the damage became lackluster, so everyone that ran caster went Kaom’s for life stacking and zero resists or ES robe variant for a bit more defense.

0.1 we had the dupe exploit early on so the market was flooded with them and they were generally cheap even towards the end of the league.

This league we had Atziri’s Impatience + level supports added that brought Blink’s CD closer to 0.1 levels (especially with over-corruption on Tempo).

Then there’s the Fubgun tax early on. Tempo (aside from over-corrupted ones) didn’t really appreciate with inflation as much as other items. You had that initial spike during early days of the Temple craze where it jumped to 2-3 mirrors and that’s where it sort of stayed. A lot of people switched to a GG Atziri’s to push paper DPS or for group play, so Tempo actually lost some value. Everyone that wanted one early on farmed up to a base one by now.

The Temple. Makes starting new character late season difficult.

I think it does the opposite.

Starter gear is cheaper than ever because everyone is gambling up perfect items with all the divines.

Leveling from 60 to 95 has never been faster now that you can leech a couple of temples.

You can get paid $15 to 20 divines per temple to just follow people around.

With one run of the temple, you can get enough gear to clear t15 maps easily.

there has never been a season that was this easy to gear up, the average quality of gear for sale is crazy high, you can get near perfect rolled items for a handful of divs.
You guys are so hung up on the high ticket of the most expensive items, that you didnt even notice that the gear you can get this season for basically free is better than the expensive items other seasons.
