Path of Exile 2 just lately obtained its 0.4 replace and with it got here a brand new build-your-own dungeon system known as Vaal Temples. I will spare you the lore, however simply know that it is mainly a facet exercise you encounter whereas operating maps within the endgame to farm up precious loot.

Developer Grinding Gear Video games stepped in per week or so in the past to buff the rewards from the mode and make it typically much less punishing. It nonetheless has sufficient arcane guidelines to it that gamers have been sharing infographics on how you can place every distinctive kind of room for probably the most rewards. However now it has been lengthy sufficient for folks to determine methods for making financial institution with it—we’re speaking piles of loot that you just actually cannot discover elsewhere.
The limiting issue to all of it’s that the temple is just precious as soon as you have constructed it up over time. It could actually take a couple of hours of operating maps to get the precise rooms to point out up. So, as is pure for motion RPG gamers, folks began searching for methods to hurry this up. And a technique was simply discovered that I am fairly positive GGG would not approve of.

In any case, the loot drops may very well be upgrades or crafting objects to enhance your present gear.
The one purpose I believe this methodology has caught round with out getting hotfixed is as a result of GGG is at the moment on vacation break.

It clearly did not intend for folks to spam the Vaal Temples and to die on goal to maintain their character under-leveled.

If persons are so dismayed by the randomness that they resort to bizarre workarounds to repeat it till they hit a jackpot, the system might need some deeper issues to iron out earlier than it will get added to the sport completely.
