Hey guys, I got my first exceptional base. Lvl 78 chiming staff with 3 sockets. How the hell do I search the trade market to price this thing? I’m on console and that makes it even harder. Tried searching chiming staffs with 3 gem sockets and nothing showed up, and don’t see an option to search for exceptional.

What’s this thing worth? And how can I just search in the future? Thanks!

I really need the corruption chamber in the temple to start building the snake thing but never found it on a whole day of playing the game and open the temple. Is it just bad luck ? should i start the snake without it ? Damn this temple mechanic starting to annoy me the more i interact with it lol

I have a question about trading a lot of div's for an item. I have never sold an item, ever, and then i got some lucky drops and now im wanting to sell, but how? Div's only stack to 10, do i just trust them to keep trading them to me after or what?

Hi guys. Do zombies raised with power charges also spread contagion? Or is it only if you use a corpse with contagion?

One of my spymaster rooms won't upgrade, I've tried killing the other t3 spymaster first then I tried killing that t1 room that needs to be upgraded first. Nothing works, anyone know why?

I have gain extra damage as cold. Does that mean I am applying chill?  My main attack is poison arrow.

I've come back to the game after I played it during the early access launch, back then it worked perfectly on my old PC and with internet that's objectively worse than the one I have now.

However now it's basically unplayable, I've created a new character and as soon as I try to move I'm getting ping spikes into the hundreds, if not THOUSANDS (even though the recommended server says I have 28 ping) that make the whole game feel like stop motion (and I'm being generous with using that term)...

I've tried some of the older "fixes" I've found on reddit but none of them really seem to help, and I know my internet isn't the problem because all other online games I've played recently work without issue (and I can stream them without issue)

I've also tried going back to my old characters to see if it's specific to a new one I created, but no, same thing

Is there any magical fix for this or am i just fucked?
