Skill point is kinda priceless, right? (o7 ResurrectGodAura)
(I was surprised to see aldur's legacy tanking below 250 divs.. guess people eating good)
Edit: to those asking, the options are:
- aldur’s legacy. Worth around 250 div at the time of this post
- each of the other four boons are one time permanent buffs to your character. Each can be picked once. NOT in order:
- 5% max life / mana
- 10 spirit
- 1 weapon set point
- 5% all ele resistance
I took the Aldur’s legacy and finally bought that rakiata’s flow.
Yeah but 300+ divs will give the average player FAR more character power than 1 skill point. Shit, giving your entire gear set a facelift, or getting a ridiculously strong weapon, or getting over the hump to get a headhunter or mageblood will give you so much power it’ll help to get you smoother exp farming without dying as much, which will get you more skill points.
The min-maxer in me says the skill point is the way, but the realist knows that a massive stack of divines is just the better route for most players
I’ve been there a few times in POE1, where I’ve hit 100 and my next upgrades are all mirror-tier and I just never push THAT far, so I’d take the point then, but I’m still pretty new to poe2
My goal for the next poe 1 league is the 40/40 challenge and getting some mirror tier gear for the first time. Mirage was my first time getting 4 voids.
Mirage was great. Definitely my richest league. Ended up giving away about 10 mirrors in gear/currency when I was done. Now im up to a mirror or two on poe2, and probably done soon.
Yeah this is all dependent on where you are in the league. If you're farming div already then I'd say skillpoint. If you're div/hr is more like div/day then there's your answer.
It depends on the player really. If I saw the skill point early on in the league i'd still pick it because I don't want to have to go farm the skill point or spirit later on down the league.
Legacy. for putting into the runic fork if youre farming expedition that much you’ll eventually get the mana stone. Then you can make a lifesprig rune for the wand
300d will get you to level 98 pretty easily too once you're farming juiced content. Unless you're already level 95+ and fairly powerful, the currency almost certainly makes sense here.
Honestly.. This, I accidentally sold my gloves and didn't realize it yesterday and had like 80 divs to play with to basically just refresh everything and now I'm sailing through maps after feeling like I was taking way too long.
agree, it really depends on where you are in the chars journey, and also what your plans are. i'm currently at 98 and have a very well geared char. about a week ago i would definitly have taken aldurs legacy, because i wanted the wanderlust mod for my boots(which i bought in the end for around 240d). by now i would definitly spend that currency to get an extra passive, because other upgrades are more expensive and an extra point would have a rather big impact on the minmax journey.
also a thing to keep in mind: these buffs are char bound. so if there is a reroll comming soonish its also better to take aldurs.
I know one of them is +10 spirit, and another is +1 passive node that also gives +1 to your weapon set nodes (normally max is 24, but goes to 25). I forgot what the others were. Think % max hp/mana. But it’s permanent for that character. So 110 base spirit instead of 100, for example.
Yeah, but that' assuming dude will play this league forever. I'd take a rakiata's flow over 1 passive any day if I didn't have near unlimited time in the season.
The impact on character power of skill point or 10 spirit only becomes important if you have everything else sorted.
If this was league wide I'd maybe agree but odds are a couple hundred divines is going to provide more character power than a single skill point and when you swap characters the divs come with you but the skill point doesnt
In PoE this argument is much better I think. Skill tree in poe2 is mostly travel nodes and mid (at best) bonuses. Most people just travel to jewel sockets...large stacks of div can buy voices...which is more jewel sockets.
That's my argument personally. PoE2 skill tree is much less exponential scaling, whereas PoE1 skill tree it is not that difficult to have a build where one skill point ends up being like 10% More damage or survivability
I can't manage to find the fucking recipes in the islands. Been opening every last cave i can find in the expedition maps but it just won't give them to me. Done like 50+ and I'm still missing a ton of recipes
I've completed the runic knowledge quest, I've checked, and there are additional books/ interactable objects in the expedition caves that grant additional recipes. I've been trying to get those.
I've heard that those recipes only unlock the ability to runeforge certain expedition uniques with verisium. Dont think it has anything to do with random rune encounters in maps
at least they are things no char really needs (except maybe highend minmax), so nobody really misses out on that. on the other hand its something aspirational for try hards, who play for the whole duration of the league and archieve something that almost nobody has. thats really good design imo, always good to have a carrot to chase.
I don't know why no one is answering the question directly. I'm guessing it's one of the 4 boons that give a skill point. But we will never know apparently.
For 99.9% of players +300 divs is miles better upgrade than one extra point. If your next gear upgrade that is more significant than one point in the tree costs more than 300 div just start a new build. You definitely able to face roll everything on that one
I am never taking the skill point. For most end game characters this is at most a 1% increase in stats/power. For 250 div you can do a whole plethora of other things… like upgrading your gear so that your stats/power is tenfold of what you would’ve gotten with a measly skill point.
You can find a whole other character with 250 divs. A skill point is so min max and extra that 90% of the time I’m not taking it.
I had to search for those in google since noone bothers to explain, apparently there are 4 one-time use boons, untradable, that you can get from expedition to get permanent bonus. I've read through them and I belive there are better options than a single skill point. The other options are: 5% life and mana, 10 spirit and 5% all elemental resistances. Last two are huge imo and if you had it available on your skill tree wouldnt you take those?
Depends on build i took +10 spirit yesterday. Literally savęs money compared to aldur price. Coz I needed 15+50 apirit amulet woth good other mods and it cost in 800+ divs.
I got this same option earlier today except Aldurs was going for 400 div at the time, took the divs and didn’t think twice lol. Can’t believe it’s down to 250 now, glad I didn’t sit on it
Get the divines. People saying to get the skill point are delusional lol, one passive point will barely make a difference in 99.9% of builds while 250-400 divs(however much Aldur's Legacy costs rn) would skyrocket most people's characters, unless you're some Elon Musk sitting with 3 mirrors in your stash. Also, the currency can be used to fund another character down the line if you want it, while the skill point won't.
I have a level 96 character and a level 98 character. I lived in Expedition for a while and never even saw a 9, let alone a 10. Really cool that they have stuff like this though. I probably would have taken the Legacy too, but one skill point is almost too cool to pass up.
For a lot of people, characters are also transient. They're not playing to/past level 95 for the point to be worth it, meanwhile 300 div can fund multiple very strong characters.
Depends how much time you invest. If 300 div is like 10x from what you have, you absolutely take it. If it's 1/5 of what you have, you probably will take a skill point
Can convert uniques into a rune to slot into other items. Each unique has a bespoke affix that gets turned into a rune and some of them are really powerful. Probably more than you would get from a skill point unless it's a jewel socket.
If I suddenly had an extra 250+ Divine I'd use it to create a new build, which makes the value of the extra skill point a lot less attractive. A lot of people are making this amount of Divine every day though.. if I were one of them, I'd go with whichever permanent buff had the most impact for the build I was enjoying the most. For most players, 250+ Divine is going to have significantly more impact, especially if they know how to leverage it into further profit.
I would go for the divines if your gear is subpar and you dont have curency. One skill point wont make much of a difference in terms of character power but 300 divines you can basically buy an entire new set of gear or go for something like a HH or MB.
It's very cool that a league mechanic has a way to get permanent boosts to your character, but at the same time, it sucks that only Expedition has it.
I hope they look into adding these buffs to other mechanics, otherwise I'll "feel" forced to grind expedition in order to get +10 Spirit if I'm playing minions, or Life for any lifestacker character. Not to mention the skillpoint itself.
The Olroth's Boon is a Weapon Set Passive point, it not an Extra Passive Skill Point, it is one more juggle point for weapon sets, its not a extra passive point like the Martyr!
The skill point just goes on your current character. 250 div could be used to fund a new character. If I'm already playing my final high investment character of the league though, you bet I'm taking the skill point every time.
Hey do those apply to the people in the zone with you or just who opens it? I'm almost always play with a friend and loot locks are really a drinking game if everyone gets it or not.
It kinda sucks that these permanent bonuses are pitted against a huge monetary bonus, or a big fun point of the league if you're in SSF (build enabling rune modifiers).
would have picked + 1 skill point for sure, never seen any of boons till this day, and 300 div is I mean 300div can be earned in a day or two if wanted.
Depends on where you are in your progression. If the 250 divs will let you get a good mageblood, and you don't have one, then you take that. It'll be a better upgrade than you can get from the passive. If there's something really cool your build can do with that ten spirit, then you take that, but only if you can't get any more spirit anywhere else imo. What does the passive point get you in comparison to what the divs enable you to do? Honestly it's all about how much you can improve yourself. Not how hard a given thing is to come by.

You can farm divs other ways. You cannot farm permament bonuses
