I Tried To Farm 100 Divines The Hard Way

My Gear

[mikes]

I tore my TFCC styloid in my mouse hand 2 years ago from playing too much, still have to play on a controller and use compression gloves do NOT overuse it if it's in pain. You may need to take a few days or maybe even weeks off to make sure you don't do permanent damage depending on if its inflamed or starting to tear. Fair warning to anyone who reads this, you're not invincible.

As a fellow old man, I can't recommend highly enough a USB foot pedal. The one I got has 3 pedals which I map to left click, right click, and spacebar ( my movement skill). This frees up just using the mouse to point and has greatly reduced/eliminated the hand pain.

Man this only further seems to highlight my incompetence, you're able to go from a disastrous start into 70 divines profit in the time played that I take to get single digit divines. The worst part is that I am a veteran player, and I know what I should be doing but I just somehow do something incredibly wrong. Probably spending too much time in the map, or not filtering out enough items etc etc. But this once again reinforces the fact that I need to get my shit together!

Thanks for the content though! Take care of your wrists, hand related injuries are no joke.

i have dropped more than 20 exalts till now, it sucks knowing that exalt and divine have the same weightage

It's always nice to hear comeback stories and how content creators can have less than optimal league starts and still have fun and figure out how to overcome adversity.

If you have more annuls than anything while running Legions, thats probably not because you got unlucky; There is Harbinger reward icon that could drop one, and doesn't give you ex/divine option (maybe it does drop exalt but very rare, just as harbingers do compared to annuls).

Have you tried or considered wrist stabilizers? A few leagues ago I got some compression gloves with wrist straps and while the gloves themselves didn't seem to help the wrist straps helped _immensely_. After that I picked up a few no-name brand velcro wrist stabilizers and I've had very few issues since.

Been running Guardian/Conquorer Destructive Play rotations with full Boss/Essence/Scarab tree. Basically blast white T16, upgrade essences that are appropriate, collect loot, kill boss (and additional map bosses) for fragment and special drops from the tree. Then do your Maven Invitations when they come up for extra bonus. Good cash, and all the loot is easy to liquidate. Basically a better version of T6 Essence farming if you have the DPS

Have to say, Ice Shot of Penetration mines + juiced Legion is one of the most satisfying things in PoE. When multiple screens fills with ice explosions and you pop entire legions without moving... good times.

Hi, subtractem. Really appreciate your stream. Wish you good health. I really hope you can stream more. I remember how much you streamed during crucible league.

[scire]

Not sure if you are already doing it. But the biggest thing i ever did for my hand health in poe is to change the bind in the middle mouse button to space bar and alway put my main skill there. Just holding down space bar is waaaay easier on the hands than spaming right click.

Gl and hope you get better!

Hey, as someone that also has occasional wrist problems from overuse as well, I got one of those little "wrist widget" brace things and it's really helped me personally, helps lock my wrist so I have to use my arm more and helps put less strain on the wrist. Could be something you could look into, they're a little pricey unfortunately, but has been worth it for me.

I'd like to see what you are blocking on your atlas but your face cam is in the way and you mention the atlas is in the description but it isn't. Whats the other video you mentioned that I could see it?

[renediffie]

Something you can try if you feel like it. Rebinding your main attack to something else than right click really makes a huge difference. I know it sounds weird at first but after 1-2 sessions it will be completely normal. It completely removed all the strain I had on my right hand when playing.

Farmed legion for ab five days and bought myself a foil hh. The biggest issue with this strat is that you have to farm tons of mats to bulk sell, or sell stuff manually, which is what i did unfortunately. Incubators sell slowly but are a tremendous portion of your income, so dont forget to list diviner, ornate, and skittering every once in a while. Very good strat though, theres a reason why so many people recommend legion with beyond and deli.

[DrCitron_]

The Divinarius be T0 may be worth a lot of dust with rogue un Kingsmarch, it may be a better usage than selling it

[supersonicgamerguru]

I don't think that the emblems being cheap is just about 5-way demand being low, because the supply is far more overall. Previously splinters would just rot in people's stashes but now they are almost immediately liquid.

Gold farming being a concern is also pretty huge, which is probably what has killed demand, but the emblems just move far more easily now.

Hey @subtractem, what was your time per map? I am spending 10 min per map, when using all scarabs you mentioned ... is that too much? Thanks.

[joetriccas]

Chin ups and grip strength training to toughen up those wrists boy!!!

[sNNNNNable]

huh I did ele hit deadeye legion with the same atlas tree and got my headhunter in roughly the same timeframe as every league. I did have brothers gift scry'd onto my map tho
