- While the method can be fun and potentially beneficial for the economy, it may not be the most efficient way to earn currency compared to other methods in the game.
Exploring the New Method of Hunting Vaal Side Areas
In the video, Pohx Kappa explains that the new method of hunting Vaal Side Areas for Adorned Jewels involves a Duo approach. One person spams alteration orbs while the other person spams scouring orbs. This method allows for faster attempts at rolling unique Vaal Side Areas compared to the previous method using only scouring orbs. The video showcases the speed at which the orbs are being used, highlighting the efficiency of the new approach.
Pohx Kappa goes on to discuss the drop rates of the different side areas. The Endless Nightmare side area, which offers no significant rewards, is found approximately 45% of the time. The Incursion side area, which guarantees fractured incursion bases, is also found around 45% of the time. Lastly, the Adorned Jewel side area, which contains the sought-after Adorned Jewels, is found approximately 10% of the time. Pohx Kappa shares his personal experience, stating that he found three Adorned Jewels within the first few hours of attempting the method.
Is It Worth the Effort?
While the method of hunting Vaal Side Areas for Adorned Jewels can be entertaining and potentially beneficial for the economy, Pohx Kappa questions its overall worth. He suggests that players may be better off focusing on other methods of earning currency, such as using Alchemy Orbs or Essence crafting. The rarity of finding Adorned Jewels, paired with the time and effort required to spam alteration and scouring orbs, may make it a less efficient option for players looking to maximize their profits.
In conclusion, Pohx Kappa’s video provides valuable insights into the new method of hunting Vaal Side Areas for Adorned Jewels in Path of Exile 3.23. While it can be a fun and potentially profitable activity, players should consider their priorities and weigh the effort required against the potential rewards. As with any aspect of the game, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and playstyle.
