My own CoC Fross build
Sup yall, i only got a play bits of the league here and there due to exams. (Thankfully exams are over now). So finding out awakened gems are gone, i thought my fav build CoC Fross is dead. But when i see the new shrine belt, i had to try make it work which im happy it did and im zooming smoothly in maps. Ive put gear crafting guides in the items too. Hope you'll enjoy my build too. \\(*3*)/
Old build: https://pobb.in/CeqqSUBxbnb8 (Legacy)
New build: https://pobb.in/hGKjP6YdnrzI
Pros of build:
\- Great balance between damage and tankiness
\- 55mill+ dps (or 45mill+ if single shrine belt)
\- 400k ehp (disabled ehp gain when hit in pob)
\- 75/75 block chance with glancing blow (with aegis for es on blk)
\- 90% all elemental resistances
\- Chaos dmg immune
\- Corrupted blood immune
\- More than 100% reduced extra dmg from crit strikes
\- Ignore attributes
\- Always crit (diamond shrine)
\- Auto curse and cull by blade fall of thrarthus
Cons of build:
\- Not league starter
\- Specific watcher's eye needed
\- Specific elegant hubris needed (80020 is best in slot)
\- Diamond shrine belt and elegant hubris are mandatory
\- Cannot run maps that mess with attack speed or cooldown recovery rate
Side notes:
\- Cast on crit needs at least 52% cooldown recovery rate and not more than 10.10 attack speed
\- Dont need to follow gear stats exactly, balance the resistances on your own
\- Leave blade fall of thrarthus, culling strike and precision at lvl1

Divinity dodge roll effect
I got the new divinity pack and I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with the quicksilver effect. It breaks a bunch of mtx and arguably the worse crime it doesn't remove the base quicksilver effect.

"Any Rare Creature" stored in Menagerie
I play since 3.00 and just realized I actually don´t understand how storing beasts in Menagerie work.
I use beast recipe for crafting, which requires a specific beast and "Any Rare Creature". I have been crafting 100+ times this league and running Einhar in Atlas. Now I am at point where I have 0x "Any Rare Creature" and at the same time my Menagerie is full and if I capture a beast in map, it tells me that the beast I just captured remove an older beast. I assume Menagerie try to keep beasts that are specific to a recipe, which are not used as "Any Rare Creature". Or I have a lot of beasts which are not counted as "Any Rare Creature". What is correct? And how do you guys manage your Menagerie in order to avoid similar situations?

I turned in 4608 of Dying Anguish cards (1 quad worth) "so you don't have to"
Hey exiles.
During the league so far every now and then I turn in a bunch of Dying Anguish cards in the hopes that I get nice jackpot gems to finish leveling and then imbue (best 2 were Cyclone of Tumult/Fortify and Viper Strike of Mamba/Cruelty).
During this process I found that just turning in the cards and listing the results was actually pretty profitable - especially given the number of imbued gem misses due to RNG. So I ran a little experiment and tracked the results (keep in mind RNG and YRMV greatly).
Steps:
Obtain 4608 Dying Anguish cards from Faustus @ 6c each
27,648 chaos
At 390c/div that's \~71 div worth.
691,200 gold
Buy order took a few days to complete (big thanks to that guy that put a buy in for 10k @ 7c, appreciate you /s)
Talk to Lilly over and over (thank you GGG for the new Divination Card QOL!)
Dump resulting gems into quad tab.
Index said tab with Wealthy Exile and realise it doesn't like Transfig gems.
Index with poestash and realise the prices are a bit off, also it lists each gem line by line.
Index with maxroll.gg and decide that will do.
Result: According to the data if I list every gem at the given price I should get a return of 48,675c (approx 124d) or 50d profit. HOWEVER there are quite a few 1-2c gems that will in reality never ever sell.
Results for gems >48c (ie, "profit" for that set) - div price is based on 390c/d and rounded (don't shout too loud if math is off pls)

These 30 records represent >45k chaos / 116d from 109 total gems if the prices are correct, - poestash says I have 338d worth in total so I'm going to go through once priced and edit/update this post.
Notable results: 0 returns for EK of Massacre (I have been imbuing those all league and was surprised it didn't show).
In addition I will be listing anything 2c or more anyway, those of you off-meta build players can thank me later.
Full results here (this is a google "published" google sheet which from my testing you can open in a private window and not need to log in etc etc).
DISCLAIMER: I don't have any sell orders for these cards so I'm not trying to get people to buy them or anything dumb, just info for the crowd.
Happy farming exiles!

Accidentally left the Sasan fight as soon as I entered.
I never really engaged with mapping before this league, actually won my first fight against Sasan no issue, then literally two hours later he kidnaps another squad. As soon as I got in, I misclicked(apparently) and immediately went back through the portal... Live and learn, unfortunately lost 6 tier five mappers to learn my lesson.
