In Blight, drops are crazily high (due to the Blight mechanic).

Hank got a little Blight-happy there for a second... he means Breaches

Anyway... I'm still relatively early in the league endgame... only 78 and just started mapping... I usually run the base filter to start and then modify it to my liking with Filtration later... to remove flasks and any white bases I'm not interested in...

To be even more efficient I should eventually hide big items like 2H weapons... but I do pick them up sometimes if I have leftover portals after a boss... otherwise I focus on 2x2 and 1x3 items for most efficient space usage... I only collect chests when I need them for my recipe tabs...

I'm probably going to end up buying more supporter packs to buy more Quad tabs... I'm using 1 for ID'd Chaos Recipes and another for Gavels at the moment and kinda want a few more... altho the Gavel one will be recycled to other purposes once I collect a few more maps/stones to make chisels...

Yeah, I do something similar. I run the default as I'm levelling, then I have two filters now that I use once I hit maps: a mid-level filter (which basically shows rares, and highlights all good bases regardless of ilvl) for early league play, then after the first 5-7 days I switch to a high-level filter, which is basically the mid-level but starts to highlight based on ilvl.

I don't hide 2h's like you plan to do, I still show all rares regardless in case I decide I'm low on alterations and need to do some vendor tripping.

At Chrono's recommendation, probably at the end of this week I'm going to make a post about my thoughts of MFing vs not-MFing at the start of a league.

Random requests paying off!

Also if one is fine being an Alt farmer for currency gains, I'd say breach league is a great one to MF. So many drops, and already in the mindset to vendor everything is just a bonus.

Yea, I'm not sure I'm going to hide the 2-Handers... like I said, if there are portals left I pick up everything from bosses until I cant anymore... and I tend to pick up everything if I'm killing time in Dried Lake or something...

I'm pretty much back in the swing of things now... but having a hard time finding any information (elsewhere) on what I should be doing with the content from the 2 leagues I skipped...

When should I be using Silver coins for prophecies... save... spend immediately... etc... I started saving the uniques that are fated since that seemed like a thing to do...

Also, essenses... I have some of them corrupting essences... when should I be using those... anything else I should know...

Essences are basically alcs. Do what you want with them, sell or craft, but the Remnants are meant to be used on Misery, Scorn, Dread and Envy to get the rarest Essences. I don't have any real advice on crafting with essences, I just collect and sell.

As far as Prophecies, wait until ~75. Some of the Prophecies you get are based on your character level, but you end up getting more trash ones 69 and below. Not sure if there's a difference between 70 & 75 or not, but I just hold off until 75 as a safety measure.

The most valuable ones I can think of off the top of my head are the 5L and 6L prophecies, Monstrous Treasure and of course running the The Pale Council (Plaguemaw, Unbreathing, Unbearable, Feral) which will drop keys after finishing the fifth stage. Pale Council is what drops Reach of the Council (very profitable if you get it). Twice Enchanted can also be fairly valuable to sell but you may be interested in retaining that one in order to do your own Uber Lab runs.

That's all I can think of quickly.

Thanks... I've just been collecting essences so far... no plan...

Prophesies... I tried 1 and got rats in Normal... and tried another and can't remember what I got in Cruel/Merciless... then I used 6 recently before my first map at 78... and 3 prophesies happened pretty quickly in that map alone... Invader, currency pinata, and something else... and another rats and 6 strongboxes popped up pretty quick after that too... seemed like i could run out of silver coins really quickly if I just started using them... I mean, I've only found about 50 so far, and traded some to afford my started CA gear

Yeah, you can burn through coins incredibly fast. No doubt. I almost never have my prophecy tab full. Debating investing in coins while Reach is still fairly expensive.

I'm not reading through 522 pages to find the answer I need.

Why do you say you're not going to put a Ranger tree up, yet do, and tell us to go Scion, but not put up the full Scion tree-build?

Sense.
This makes none, and I cannot be the only one confused.

[03.00] - Skill Tree & Ascendancies
[03.01] - Scion Ascendant Occultist/Deadeye
[03.02] - Shadow Trickster [HC Option]

That's an excerpt from the Table of Contents... it says the tree is 2.4, but it seems to be 2.5 to me... but the full build is there... the leveling builds at the bottom are the only place I see any Ranger build summary... and that section is for reaching level 50 as a Scion/Ranger/Shadow before you respec out of mana passives when you are ready to go CA finally

@Serleth: I started fiddling with the filter... mostly adding unified borders for the RGB, 6L and Gavel items I religiously pick up and recoloring the medium-tier currencies to more resemble the splinters... its funny how many more scrolls I pick up with a purple/pink border on them than I did before... color matters subconsciously I guess... I mostly did it because I wanted more difference between scrolls and trans and chromes/etc... parsing faster is better, and i pick up transmutes even when im being lazy about scrolls... because they feel more rewarding when they vendor for 4 scrolls

I honestly find as long as I'm on top of picking up whetstones, transmutes and a reasonable amount of scraps, I can go a long while once I've built up a scroll base before I have to worry about picking up *actual* scrolls again.

Alternately, I just play for awhile where I only worry about good bases and recipe parts, while still focusing on stones/scraps/'mutes. Either way.

I haven't.

There's an entire section headered with a green highlight entitled "Skill Tree & Ascendancies," complete with a link to the tree nested inside a spoiler, clearly marked "Scion Passive Tree," which, when you open it, centres on the Scion starting position.

So either you blatantly just didn't bother to read, or your confusion is sourced from the fact that "Path of the Ranger" was picked up in the Scion Ascendant tree, which allows us to allocate nodes at the Ranger starting position, and you just figured remarkably that because there's passive nodes at Ranger start, somehow that means it's a Ranger build, even though the tree itself centres on AND highlights the Scion starting position.

Either way, c'mon buddy.
