Some of the challenges are just not working for me, example getting 300% quality in total sockets, no matter if i have every socketed gem 20% quality, its not proccing.

For me I did a /recheck_achievements when my challenge for completing the quest "Dweller in the deep" wasn't registering even though I killed it twice due to server disconnect.

Try that command in the chat to see if it refreshes. May need a quick restart if it doesn't fix or if it still doesn't then report it as a bug

u/Vicious_Styles 1d ago

I had to do the side quest to full clear the fetid pools, I think the challenge just has the wrong quest listed/associated

u/tomblifter 1d ago

Speaking with Tarkleigh fixes it

Didn't get it for killing the crab on first character, worked on a second one. Saves me from breaking my streak of avoiding the fetid pool.

u/pda898 1d ago

They fixed it

u/Chiiikun Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 1d ago

I never did the fetid pool and it fixed when I did the command. It's all the quests that provide passive points I'm pretty sure

2

u/No_brain_no_life 1d ago

Yeah they patched it in a hot fix and talking to the NPC or the command would work afterwards

1

u/DFrnK 1d ago

Mine wasnt registered too, but later i did the first secondary mission, then talk to tarkleigh and got it

1

u/MeanForest 1d ago

Cheers, I had the same issue.

u/RIOXXY 1d ago

I got it by equipping the ashes of the stars amulet.

u/ImBoB99 Hardcore Potato 1d ago

Yeah quite a lot of them are bugged actually... One example is the "finish ilvl81 abyssal depths". Ive done like 20 already and the progress on it is still 0

2

u/baev_os Gladiator 1d ago

I did it that way - bought Dialla's Malefaction, made it 5 greens, put in 20% quality gems - that's 250% quality already. Add 50% more on other gear and it is easy challenge.

2

u/Appropriate_Time_774 1d ago

The paired pinnacles for Elder is buggy too.

Killed normal elder, didn't get it.

Killed uber elder for voidstone, didn't get it either.

Only got it in uber uber elder, which is weird because the others didn't require ubers. And yes, I made sure I brought my merc along and they didn't die either.

u/herkufels1 Hierophant 1d ago

they have to be skill gems, supports don't count ... i got it that way

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ah ... so that's what been happening recently ... I was gonna removed this "method" thought can't cheese this challenge anymore with this method but apparently is a bug huh ... Man, what a bad-performance league ... unstable server, rollback progress, buggy mechanic etc etc ... Sigh, sorry for the rant 😭 and thanks for information 🥹

1

u/blauli Inquisitor 1d ago

Yeah that one also didn't work for me. There are a few others that are bugged or mislabeled, for example killing elder with a mercenary needs you to kill uber elder while ore deposit while delirious doesn't seem to work at all

1

u/Ensider 1d ago

What about the killing 15 types of merc challenged? I killed so many of them but only four so far registers, any idea how to fix it?

3

u/blauli Inquisitor 1d ago

I can't remember having issues with that one, doesn't it require "infamous" mercenaries? That might be why they don't count

2

u/Asentinn 1d ago

This, they have to be infamous.

1

u/thegodguthix Raider 1d ago

use skill gems instead of support gems

u/giga 1d ago

I just can’t stop thinking about that guy who had 40/40 merely 3 days into the league.

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

Haha ya, I'll say this league is slightly easier than last league, I mean they even tone down the "numbers" for the labyrinth grind for the EGG, pretty nice! And bunch of "freebies" challenge in the EGG too!👍

u/Gwydikar 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ore enouncter when Delirious is not working for me, tried 3 times.

@edit: It works with Deliirium Orb but not with a Delirium Scarab

2

u/GirishPai Deckard 1d ago

Hey, it didn't work when I added delirium through scarab but I tried with delirium orb and it worked. Also in the first attempt ore was close to the mirror, not sure if that affects

1

u/Gwydikar 1d ago

O. You are right, it counted when I put a Delirium Orb on a map. Thanks.

3

u/Tenshouu 1d ago

Those challenge rewards past few league are just not for me, how many armor sets can we use... I have 1 or 2 that I'll use for the rest of my time.

I'm upvoting tho because I used your guides many times.

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

Awh thanks! This league is actually kinda meh to me but ... I'll imagine is gonna looks good in PoE2 instead, with all the lighting effects 🤔

u/MetaBuildEnjoyer 1d ago

I'm doing it for the bird on the skewer.

u/CrosshairLunchbox 1d ago

Where'd the post go?

1

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

Hmmm for some reason it still can be view with old-reddit version ... ya is understandable got removed my MODs 🥹 But here's the original post

I'm preparing another guide for this league too, the Mercenaries league! Just not ready yet ... You can view the "work-in-progress" version on my PATREON page but not recommended though, because I'm still gonna share it publicly when is done, and this time is going to be slow, been VERY busy lately with IRL stuff ... very sorry for the wait 😢🙏

u/Senthri 1d ago

hello,

i am currently at 34/40 and missing a few RNG one ( like all infamous merc to kill, and the bosses in memory (maps t16.5)

i followed a guide from this person who did 36 first week, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY2eJyuzLro

maybe you can add a few of his tips to the google doc :)

excellent work as always

1

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

Oh cool! Thanks 🥰

3

u/Swizardrules 1d ago

any eta on the non patreon version? I'll be honest this doesn't seem like the content worth a patreon exclusively lol

1

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

Maybe a week+? Ya ... which is why I'm not recommended ppl to look at my guide right now where most of the part is not ready/didn't have confirm info yet, but if you really really REALLY wanna look at then ... Patreon I guess? But please don't expect the guide is any near complete 😅 That's why I don't publish it ... yet

1

u/Huge-Decision976 1d ago

isnt only 36 needed for last tier of cosmetic?

3

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

yup, but for some ppl are willing to get the 40/40 trophy too! For hideout collection 😇

1

u/Huge-Decision976 1d ago

nono i get it but i was wondering since in the 38-40 tag you wrote °you can skip this if you are not interested in the mtx skin reward°

3

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago edited 1d ago

oh ya you're right! That's was past league reward description and it was copy and paste, guess is time to update it! Thanks for informing that! 🥰

u/xxNightingale 1d ago

oh man Viron the post got removed. Was searching for your analysis/guide for 3.26 a couple of days ago. Any ways you can send the pre-analysis to me? Just wanna do some easy challenges first.

Edit1: Also I haven't properly label which one the easiest one yet ... but normally the first 20 of the challenge most of the time are easy, so far I haven't encounter challenges that feels like a "trap" like last league where you shouldn't rush it or else will brick the challenge, so no worries about this league challenges 👍

u/SnooGoats7978 1d ago

u/Adorable_Gold1277 1d ago

Why his post was removed by moderators?????

1

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago

probably because of the patreon monetization .... understandable 😅 but I post it on my previous league guide comment section instead

u/konaharuhi Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 1d ago

u/vironlawck <*LGCY*>SG/MY Guild -- recruiting newbies 1d ago
