I'm league starting Toxic Rain Pathfinder this time. It's Path of Evening's build, and their guides are good, but they're written for reading, not for glancing at between zones. I want to blast through the campaign without stopping to think about what comes next. So I made myself another checklist. Toxic Rain Pathfinder Run It takes the build from a fresh level 1 Ranger in Lioneye's Watch to endgame, act by act, and tells you exactly when to change things: - Every passive tree step. Each one has a running point total, so you can compare it to what you've spent and know whether you're ahead or behind. It also lists the small nodes you path through, and calls out the three respecs (Primal Spirit in Act 7, the projectile nodes in early maps, and two more at endgame).
- Every gem pick and swap. Which quest reward to take, what to buy from which vendor, and the full set of links by gear slot at each change: level 12, 24, 33, early maps and endgame.
- Gear goals. The Tarkleigh regex for green 3-links, the 4-link hunt from level 25, a Sapphire Ring before Merveil, Kintsugi, the Porcupine bow craft, flasks and the 37–43% area of effect target for maps.
- Labs and pantheon. Nature's Reprisal, Nature's Adrenaline, Master Surgeon, then Nature's Boon, with when to run each one, plus Brine King, Ryslatha and the later swap to Lunaris.
- Every quest skill point, so you're never two points short and wondering why.
All of it comes from Path of Evening (Llarold and Sunset): their poe-vault guide, their Mobalytics guide and the Path of Building both of those link to. The gem rewards are cross-checked against the exile-leveling quest data. Their Path of Building only shows the tree at checkpoints (Act 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, early maps, endgame), so the order inside each chunk is my own. I picked it by point cost and by what the build wants first, like rushing Primal Spirit for mana. If you're a couple of levels behind, a step just slides into the next act. How to use it: - Tick things off as you go. Your progress saves in your browser.
- Use the filter chips to show only tree steps, only gems, and so on. Hide done keeps your current spot at the top.
- The regexes have copy buttons, so you can paste them straight into the vendor and stash search boxes.
- Pair it with Exile Speed Route for the zone-by-zone path. That one tells you where to go, and this one tells you what to change when you get there.
Built with Claude Code, same as the others. All credit for the build goes to Path of Evening. If something's off, blame me, not them. |
