Path Of Exile 2 Quick Gold

In Path of Exile 2's endgame, around 90% of the content revolves around repeatedly farming maps, which can inevitably become a little tedious. As a result, most players are looking for builds that can clear maps quickly to reduce downtime.

If you are even lazier and simply want to play a one-button build, or even a zero-button build, Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.5 still gives you plenty of options. Let's take a look at some viable AFK builds that let you complete entire maps while enjoying a cup of coffee.

Here are the 3 AFK builds in PoE 2 Patch 0.5.5: 

• Immortal Witchhunter Frostbolt
• Temporalis Infinite Loop Autobomber
• Infinite Navira Fracturing Minion

Immortal Witchhunter Frostbolt

This is an AFK build that requires almost no input. It performs extremely well when clearing Simulacrum and regular maps, allowing you to leave it running with virtually no interaction. However, it is slightly less effective against Pinnacle Bosses that require frequent movement. 

The setup for this build is quite unique. Its core idea is to use weapon swapping and specific Unique items to create an endless damage loop.

For the first weapon set, you need Widowhail and Drillneck. Widowhail greatly amplifies the bonuses provided by your quiver, while Drillneck provides a large amount of Projectile Damage and Critical Hit Chance. It also increases damage whenever your projectiles Pierce an enemy, which works perfectly with Frostbolt.

The second weapon set uses Atziri's Rule staff, which is responsible for starting the loop.

First, cast Frostbolt while using Weapon Set One. At this point, the projectiles snapshot all the damage bonuses provided by your current equipment, including Widowhail and Drillneck.

Immediately after casting the skill, switch to Weapon Set Two, which has Atziri's Rule equipped. This staff continuously creates Reflected Mirrors around you.

When your Frostbolt projectiles hit the mirrors, the mirrors shatter and create nine new Frostbolts. Rithlord Algram is also crucial because it causes all Frostbolt projectiles to return to your character. These returning Frostbolts then hit newly generated mirrors and create even more projectiles. Once the loop starts, you no longer need to cast any other skills.

The main reason to choose Witchhunter is that it has two Ascendancy nodes that are particularly well suited to AFK gameplay:

• Weapon Master: Allows you to configure different Passive Skill Trees for each weapon set, maximizing the benefits of the snapshot mechanic.
• Sorcery Ward: Creates a barrier that absorbs elemental damage. Its capacity depends on your Armour and Evasion, making the build very safe while AFK.

You can also choose Ritualist Ascendancy, which offers stronger recovery capabilities but is mainly suitable for Simulacrum. It is slightly weaker in regular maps.

Temporalis Infinite Loop Autobomber

This build has incredible damage and solid clear speed, but its biggest drawback is that it requires a large amount of PoE2 currency. If you have already accumulated plenty of currency and want to experience the thrill of blasting through maps with a pure Autobomber setup, this build is an option.

Choir of the Storm amulet is the core of this build's infinite loop. It can trigger Lightning Bolt skill when you critically strike. The skill has a base cooldown of 0.5 seconds and can store up to five uses.

Temporalis helmet provides a fixed amount of Cooldown Recovery, allowing Lightning Bolt's cooldown to be reduced to an extremely low level. Around 150% CDR can bring the cooldown below 0.2 seconds, allowing the loop to function consistently.

Relying on Lightning Bolt's own Critical Hits makes the loop unstable, so you also need to link it with Mana Flare Support Gem. When Lightning Bolt critically strikes, it triggers Mana Flare, which consumes 25% of your current Mana to deal Area Fire Damage. Mana Flare can also critically strike, which then triggers another Lightning Bolt from Choir of the Storm.

Oracle Ascendancy's Forced Outcome node can guarantee Critical Hits. With it, Critical Hits from Lightning Bolt and Mana Flare no longer depend on stacking Critical Hit Chance through your gear, allowing the loop to run consistently.

Once the loop starts, you do not need to press any skill buttons. You only need to walk close to monsters and let the loop handle the rest. The loop also works against single-target Bosses, but you need to make sure the Boss is not killed instantly before it can trigger subsequent Critical Hits.

Infinite Navira Fracturing Minion

Minion builds have always been a popular choice for AFK gameplay because your minions can clear monsters for you while you only need to keep your character safe.

However, this build does not rely entirely on minion damage. Your actual damage comes from the interaction between Navira's Fracturing and Chilled Ground debuff, which allows you to deal damage to enemies.

You first create a large area of Chilled Ground beneath enemies using Ice Nova or Tame Beast with Frozen Ground Trail.

Navira's Fracturing for Disciple of Arashta Ascendancy consumes Chilled Ground beneath enemies and deals high Spell Damage to all enemies within the area while applying a powerful Freeze effect, essentially clearing enemies across the entire screen.

In the endgame, you can link Ice Nova to Cast on Minion Death. When your persistent minions die, Ice Nova is automatically triggered, generating Chilled Ground and allowing the entire loop to operate without manual input.

You need Unique items such as Alpha's Howl and Bones of Ullr to increase your minion count and damage. However, these Unique items are not particularly costly, so you can easily put together this AFK build in the Endgame.

All three builds above can clear entire maps quickly, so you do not need to worry too much about efficiency. However, their investment requirements are different, so you can choose one based on the currency you have available and the class you are playing.

Exiles, if you've stockpiled a heap of Unique rings in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.5 but aren't sure what to do with them, consider crafting Loreweave. You'll need to sacrifice 60 rings at once; the result could be a massive windfall - or total heartbreak.

Unlocking the Recipe

Obtaining Loreweave is tied to Path of Exile 2 endgame content known as Expedition. First, travel southeast from The Ziggurat Refuge to Ruins of Kingsmarch to engage with Expedition mechanic.

While exploring the seas, you will encounter Grand Expeditions. Some of these maps contain underground areas - you can spot them by checking the map layout.

Upon completing these underground areas, you will obtain the quest item Journey to the East. Take this to Dannig at Ruins of Kingsmarch to unlock the ability to craft Loreweave using 60 Unique rings.

Affix Limitations

Once you've unlocked the recipe, you can combine 60 Unique rings to create a Loreweave. The resulting item will feature three random affixes derived from Unique rings used.

The rings you sacrifice influence the pool of potential affixes, though there is no guarantee that an affix from every specific ring will appear.

For instance, if you sacrifice both Ming's Heart and Blackheart, the final item might only inherit an affix from one of them, while the third slot could be filled by an affix from a completely different random ring.

In practice, while at least one affix from your sacrificed rings usually carries over, exactly which one you get is entirely random.

Additionally, different Unique rings contribute different numbers of potential affixes to the craft.

Ming's Heart, for example, only contributes the extra Chaos Damage affix; other stats, such as Energy Shield or reduced maximum Life, will not appear on Loreweave.

Understanding which rings offer multiple usable affixes is key to planning your crafting strategy in Path of Exile 2.

Furthermore, these affixes are weighted; sacrificing more rings that possess your desired affix increases the probability of that affix appearing on the final item.

Rarer Unique rings - such as Dream Fragments or The Taming - may carry higher weightings because of their scarcity in the market.

However, this assessment is based on extensive synthesis testing and does not represent a hard-and-fast rule established in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.5.

Ultimately, both the specific types and the quantities of rings you invest will influence the outcome of your synthesized Loreweave.

The Role of Ventor's Gamble

It is worth highlighting Ventor's Gamble (a Unique Gold Ring); while it does not grant Loreweave any exclusive modifiers during synthesis, its value lies in expanding the numerical ranges of the item's existing modifiers.

For instance, Quality of all Skills modifier might normally range from 2% to 5%, but with Ventor's Gamble involved, the upper limit could reach 7%. Similarly, the maximum resistance range - typically around 75% to 80% - could be expanded to span 50% to 82%.

Other modifiers with numerical ranges may also see their variance widened, making it easier to roll higher values ​​on the final Loreweave.

The Value of Maximum Resistance Modifier

The maximum resistance modifier on Loreweave offers more than just a simple boost to resistance caps. Certain runes, for example, might impose a -10% penalty to maximum elemental resistances while granting +20% elemental resistance - a combination that would normally lower the resistance cap from 75% to 65%.

Loreweave, however, negates this penalty to maximum elemental resistance, allowing players to retain the benefit of the +20% elemental resistance.

Furthermore, it nullifies modifiers on PoE 2 maps and Waystones that reduce maximum elemental resistances, making this modifier exceptionally powerful for defensive builds.

Unique Nature of Kalandra's Touch

If you include Kalandra's Touch in the synthesis process, you have a chance to obtain two Loreweave items simultaneously, one of which will be a mirrored version.

As players are likely aware, mirrored items cannot be socketed with gems or have their quality improved, and Kalandra's Touch itself commands a high price.

All things considered, the returns on this strategy in Path of Exile 2 are quite limited; it is not worth using Kalandra's Touch in the crafting process.

Common Crafting Strategies

If you want specific modifiers from The Taming to appear on your Loreweave, a standard setup involves gathering roughly 35 to 45 Ventor's Gamble rings, along with one The Taming and several Death Rush and Ming's Heart rings.

The exact count doesn't need to be perfect; getting the general proportions right is sufficient, since the final outcome is determined randomly.

If you include Snakepit rings, aim for modifiers like +1 to the number of times spell projectiles chain or spell projectiles fork, while trying to avoid the negative effect spell projectiles cannot pierce.

For players incorporating Blackflame, the ideal outcome is to roll modifiers such as Withered you inflict also increases Fire Damage taken and Ignite you inflict deals Chaos Damage.

Costs and Risks

Naturally, crafting Loreweave this way is resource-intensive. Sourcing the necessary rings from various locations makes the process tedious, and the cost of a single attempt can reach several PoE 2 Divine Orbs - with expenses rising significantly when using large numbers of Ventor's Gamble rings.

While consecutive failures are common, using lower-cost rings for the craft can sometimes yield surprising results.

For instance, crafting Loreweave using 60 Polcirkeln rings could potentially result in a finished item worth 100 Divine Orbs.

In short, if you unlock the ability to craft Loreweave using 60 Unique rings in PoE 2, try experimenting with cheaper rings first - and try not to get too hung up on the specific outcome!
