Let’s start this post off by saying PoE is at its best when you’re having fun. The clear speed meta exists for several reasons, and while its ticks in the pro column are very apparent, if you’re playing a build you don’t even enjoy just because its speedy, you’ll burn out in no time. The main point of this topic is quite simple, play what builds you enjoy.
Items
Have you chosen to push through the relentless grind and level all the way to level 100 this race? If so, skip ahead to the next section.
If you plan on running a lot of maps, I can’t recommend % quantity items enough. If you’re pushing for level 100 they can be somewhat of a hindrance, but if you don’t particularly care about experience gain at the time, find a way to make IQ items work with your build.
Map Device and Vendor placement
Here we have a screenshot of what my placement looks like the very second I come out of a map. The placement of the map device, stash chest, and Navali are all in my immediate vicinity, I don’t need to move a single step because all interactions are as quick as a click away. Is this super important? Not really, but it helps maintain momentum if you’re in “the zone”. And why not be more efficient with your time if you don’t mind where these objects are placed in your hideout?
Map rolling
Rolling your maps as you do them is horribly inefficient. The solution to this is to roll large chunks at a time, in this scenario we’re rolling 35 Cell maps at once. Using the highlight search bar below the process is as follows:
search “magic”, if there are any Magic maps, ID/Scour them.
search “rare”, if there are any Rare maps, ID/Scour them.
search “20%”, if there are any maps with 20% quality, make them their own separate pile
use chisels on the remaining Common maps until the 20% search has them all highlighted.
There are a lot of divided opinions on this tactic. I’m not here to change your mind about it, rather show you the most efficient way possible to do it, if you already take part:
Here we have 2 stash tabs. In the Quad tab there is 8 rows of space for the following: belt x2, helm x2, glove x2, boot x2, chest x2, weapon (one-handed, size 1×3) x4. The random coins are in place so you can CTRL + click the rares and they will automatically go to their assigned place. The other stash tab is for rings+amulets. The random coin placement is a ROUGHestimate of how many you should have before selling the full quad tab. If you don’t get my explanation of it, thi3n has a youtube video you can search that will help you understand better. It’s midnight here and I’m getting more and more distracted as the night goes on. That's all in this guide. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comment section.
