That feel when the Chaos Recipe becomes a waste of time
" You don't need to ID loot? That is literally just vendoring money. It doesn't take 5 minutes for almost an exalt of chaos. That is only part of the process. Honestly, in my experience, and through time spent here and on reddit, or in game, the "type of people that complain about RNG and can't afford anything" are the ones relying on chaos recipes for income... U MAD?

" Basically if I run poe maps for 1 hour and do chaos recipe I can imagine I played for 40min and not had those chaoses from recipes. Seems to me I had a lot less. Unless you are a bot who runs map nonstop then yeah.. those extra seconds are huge when scaled to 100map runs. But for normal people its like what.. useless advice? I mean who doesnt stop in middle of map to chat with pals or go do some 3chaos trade? Or go make some tea? Even those best streamers stop and take couple minutes to trade for couple chaos.. So.. how does that make it valid? They should waste couple min to make couple chaos? I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.

" Now I understand why you think chaos recipe is not worthy. Keep it that way, but dont convince other that its not worthy. Your management is wrong like your data you provided. From my side I can tell you, that Shaper was killed after 12 days in league and could earlier like 3 days or maybe earlier; in 3 weeks I get 950 es regalia, bought mirror and had over 40ex in stash + fully geared Blade Flurry character. I didnt even started league when league began. And without chaos recipes, I wouldnt make it. I do recipes till today. Последняя редакция: Rexeos#3429. Время: 7 февр. 2017 г., 16:52:28

Although I would agree with the overall sentiment that the chaos recipe becomes time inefficient past a certain point in a league, strictly from the perspective of generating currency, I would also be wary about interpreting the strategy adopted by some to ignore any drops besides currency and high value items as absolute.
Certainly, it is possible to reach a point of self-sustainability when it comes to shaped T11/T12/T13 maps with a linear layout but this is not possible for the average player, let alone a new one, as it usually requires some investment in the form of an existing map pool and stacked sextants. Such a strategy is usually reserved to already wealthy players safely grinding towards level 100 and I would not recommend it to everyone. I do not attach any particular entertainment value to the chaos recipe, or any currency recipe for that matter, as I consider them simply a means to the end of generating currency, nothing more. There are plenty of other avenues to generate wealth when participating in an economy. Whether one chooses to use the chaos recipe however, can simply be a matter of constraints. A player might not have a better option at the time, or they might not possess a character capable of efficiently blitzing through maps, or their atlas might be unfit to sustain favored linear maps, or they may choose to trade as little as deemed necessary, making map scarcity an additional factor in the equation. The less you consider maps to be inexhaustible, the less impetus there is to try to shave a minute off your average time spent per map. In other words, the tedium of the chaos recipe can become justifiable, when weighed against the tedium of frequently buying maps and sextants from other players, or converting drops and currency into chaos. |
