T14 and t15 memory fragment

They are the rarest beast in this league.
I don't even count the number of time i tried to get them, endgame grinds are almost finished and still missing them, even bestiary is complete.

Think i'm enough discouraged to call it a league really - Literaly not interesting design behind shaper orb spawn.

Have you tried to seal your T14 and T15 maps before shaping elder influence ?

I think elder is more likely to pop in a none complete map. For example if you shape his influence around minotaure area, seal Dig, Acid lake and Carcass. At least it worked for me somehow...

Hi and thanks for information, but i already made my choice :) stopping here the grind and i'm totaly fine with it - Just wanted to give some feedback regarding it.

It's the same thing at each leagues there is always one challenge that is purely RnG i has been succesful with most of the past ones so far but i'm giving up this time.
Not worth the time invested and effort, and pushing me out totaly of what i enjoy in this Path of Exile ( short: theory crafting - playing instead of running like a deadbrained cow from map entrance to boss to eventualy generate some cute power up after 400+ hours put in league ).
This is just a design i can't accept anymore, this has nothing of a challenge, it's purely a chore.


Here is how i consider a challenge beeing good or bad:

Good: Feeling i achieved something / progressed / got rewarded / learned something.
Bad: Oh god i'm finaly done with this shit

I let you guess which category fit the best with this one ahah

Cya in 3.3 :) i'm off

Well, if it works, then we can conclude that it is not RNG based. Remember, when you get the very first fragments during your initial atlas progression, there is a blue circle that always appears on an uncomplete map. The only difference is that you are not required to kill the Elder on this map. You just need to complete it.

I'm pretty sure if you follow my idea it's a success. But I need someone else to try it before confirming the method as a feedback. So yeah, it would be cool if you can sacrifice yourself in the name of the RNG scienthology :p

Concerning the challenges/chore thing, well... I'm trying to hit the 36 mark on SSF so... no comment x)

I've set up an elder ring, leveled a character to 100 and gotten my headhunter, and now I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get the Elder to spawn on a T15 map. I had to break my nice atlas setup to do this, and it's pure bullshit RNG torture with no incremental progress at all.

I've spent about 16 hours trying the strategy where you get elder influence on 3 T15s (lava lake, sunken city and reef)



5 failed attempts so far. Elder just doesn't want to spawn on one of the T15s.

I can't remember the last time I got this angry and frustrated over a stupid video game.

Do the same strategy but seal the T15 maps before. The blue circle that indicate where the fragment drops will appear on a T15 maps without complete status and with elder influence on it. Then the elder should appear there.

Give it a try, I would like to have your feedback :o

I don't really understand what you mean by this. There is no evidence to suggest that elder will prefer uncompleted maps, and I am not willing to spend red sextants to test your crazy theory.

they need to add an item like an elder beacon that you can put on a specific map to spawn elder there (and so you can get influence on the right maps) they could make it relatively expensive but right now the grind is absolutely retarded to get him on a T15. I only did 7 or 8 elders this league trying and i was already sick of it :/

It's not about Elder himself but about the blue circle that appears when you progress in atlas. This circle indicates where the fragment drops and always apppears on uncompleted map with elder influence on it.

Remember the first fragments you got at the beginning. A blue circle appears on uncomplete map with elder influence on it and to get the fragment you just have to complete the map. For the last fragments the only difference is that the elder will appear where the blue circle is and you have to kill it. This is my reasoning.

I got my last fragments by doing it but it would be cool if someone can confirm this. It's pure logic to me.

The blue circle appears on any map that will give a memory fragment. Whether or not you've completed that map before is irrelevant. You get the first memory fragment from the first map you find that is tier 6 and has elder influence on it. This gives you the orb to shape a T1 into a T6.
