The Randomancer has a New Challenge Mode!
Hey there game-enjoyers!
I've been developing a POE2 build randomizer app in my free time for the last 5 months or so, and periodically posting dev updates here (for lack of a better term).
I thought I had pretty much run this thing into the ground at this point, but was enjoying the process so much I figured I'd chuck a few more features into it just for the heck of it. Hence, I present, the Randomancer Challenge Mode:

Very similar idea, but instead of generating a set of build recommendations, it generates a challenge with a series of elements. I figured since a lot of people seemed to be using this thing to set strict challenges for themselves, why not lean into it?
Just a warning, some of these are pretty gnarly, maybe completely unreasonable. But the goal was to not set any actually impossible tasks. Again, this is all just for fun, and another way to spark some creativity and renewed interest when the league starts to drag.
Hope y'all enjoy the new stuff and playing around with the app. As always I love getting feedback, bugs, suggestions, and new ideas. Don't hesitate to reach out, you can find my email, X, Google Forms Feedback form, and GitHub links in the app. Are these new challenges too hard? Not hard enough? Too weird or too boring? Don't pair well? You have ideas for lots of other challenge tasks? Etc... let me know!
If you've been tagging along for a bit, below are some of the updates I've made since my last post:
- Completely new Challenge Mode (obviously)
- New Weapon Set controls for Build mode.
- New Combat Mechanics counter control for Build mode.
- Added section for particularly pertinent synergy supports, if any exist.
- Poe.ninja link. This take your rolled ascendancy, weapon(s), and two recommended skills and links to a filtered poe.ninja page to see if anyone else has pulled it off this league! (Defaults to trade softcore). For REAL weird rolls expect it to be empty, though sometimes people can surprise you.
- Big data refactor to provide better recommendations.
- Skill and uniques matching logic has been overhauled.
- Bucket of bugs resolved + handful of styling clutter cleaned out.
- Probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
