Notes

Welcome to another Leaguestart (SSF) PoB.

As always, this is not a fully handheld guide, but rather a cheat sheet for the intermediate+ experienced player
If you know your way around PoB and the game, this should give you all the info you need to finish your atlas and start farming

Loot Filters for all stages can be found on;
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Babyplayinggames-3146/item-filters

For Atlas trees and other builds check my spreadsheet on;
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d5uM5h2ChsNoNYIxI7FywhClBUS21la_BUO0YeNZW2Y/edit?usp=sharing

I'll be streaming over the entire week on;
twitch.tv/Baby_Exile

Regex for campaign, boots, links;
-\w-.-|(-\w){4}|(-\w){5}|g-g-g|g-g-[rb]|g-[rb]-g|[rb]-g-g|Runn|rint|s:.+bow

Mule with a lvl 2 Ranger for a Bow & CA and a quick vendor check (You can just play Spectral Throw instead if you prefer for Act1, its faster)

Follow loadout trees and skills throughout the campaign, some small notes;
- Use Puncture on Brutus or you will regret all life choices
- Do prison flask box Act1, usually get quicksilver, skipping Den Act2
- Just do Library Act3 and gem check, it's nice xp and takes little time
- Although we want Transfigured TR at some point before Maven, during campaign just click Quality on TR in fonts
- Catchup XP areas; Docks A3, Chambers A5, Blood Aquaduct A9

Post campaign pre-maps;
- if Merc lab layout is okay, you can fish a few fonts for TR of Withering if you like, saves you doing it later
- I will personally go do a bit of heisting for easy map currency and some jewellery slots, this is very optional (if trade, consider heisting longer, make bank)


Atlas Completion section

- Atlas Trees (And other PoB's)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d5uM5h2ChsNoNYIxI7FywhClBUS21la_BUO0YeNZW2Y/edit?usp=sharing

- This build uses 0! eldritch implicits to get 4 stones, since i find it time wasting to farm them, they are however quite good, look for the standard ones;
	- Phys taken as (Helm/Chest > Eater)
	- Aura effect (Chest > Exarch)
	- Wither Duration (Gloves > Eater)
	- Mana cost reduction (Helm > Exarch) 	<<<IMPORTANT>>> Check your manaforge triggers if you don't have a 6-link bow with gem levels
	- For boots I like making shock & chill immune boots down the line, meanwhile action speed is good (Exarch)

- Similary, this build uses 0 uniques, with only 1 unique being basically BiS until very late, use other uniques along the way as you see fit
	- Perseverance 
		
		- Quill Rain (Early Game)
		- Cherrubim
		- Pragmatism (5-link)

- After Uber Lab ideally before you go into reds, you want to setup a Corrupting Fever weapon swap, to have permanent Adrenaline
- I like running double life flask, even grabbing more when bossing, if you want to play with 1 life flask only, grab onslaught/amethyst/quartz
- At this point you should consider farming out TR of Withering if you didn't do so yet
- With Elreon ring crafts for mana reduction, you can drop clarity and get your 3rd big aura, and fully enjoy a fast triggering manaforge setup for frenzies and wither

- I'm going for a Kingsmarch+Essences setup throughout atlas completion, with some harvest & destructive play near the end of atlas completion, splashing ritual in Tree 1
	- The standard SSF opener of Jun+Expedition is also good for this build, in both cases open Kirac.

- This PoB does Maven & Uber Elder on a 5-link, but you can opt into farming out a porcupine set beforehand to have a 6-link bow


Endgame Section

- There's 3 loadout examples that are just general ways to cheaply finish off the leaguestart build to settle in for farming your next build (SSF). 
	- One before clusters and two after for both mapping and bossing
	- Porcupine +3 craft
	- Clusters
	- Better Rares

- You can keep improving from here on out, if you reached that far I assume you have knowledge, time and resources to continue without the PoB
	- Big upgrades if you want
		- Hunter Bow
		- Hunter Quiver (This gets EXPENSIVE quick to craft)
		- Awakened Gems

- There are some MinMax examples in the loadout section for both Trade and SSF, there's many ways to build this however, continue as you see fit

Good luck and stay sane Exiles, have a great Leaguestart!
