get a ziggity here and welcome back
friend on the path of exile awakening
guide in this video I'm going to show
you guys what divination cards are how
you can find them how you can turn them
in and how they work
divination cards are a new item type to
the awakening expansion pack that are
laid to deterministically farm for
specific uniques items and even currency
orbs the divination cards that you'll
find in game are actually created by
members of the community as a part of a
supporter pack bonus for the awakening
expansion pack this includes the theme
the actual item you'll receive and the
flavor text all decided by a community
member when I earlier mentioned
deterministic farming this means that
you can farm in a specific way to work
your way towards a specific item now
previously in the game if you wanted to
find say a cow's primacy you would need
to farm up enough currency to be able to
purchase it off another player or hope
that you got lucky to actually drop one
for yourself well now you have a way to
are more aligned the odds in your favor
and actually getting the specific item
that you want for example the battle
born card just here gives you a unique
ax now it can be any one of a number of
different unique axes but cowspiracy is
one of those so by farming specifically
for the battle born card you can have a
chance of getting a unique ax which
could then in turn be the camp's primacy
that you're after now this is achievable
because divination cards actually drop
in specific locations the location
depends on the actual divination card
itself some divination cards have one
location and others have many locations
the result of this is that an
alternative to randomly mapping or
farming bosses and hoping to get lucky
with the drop you're looking for you can
actually potentially if a divination
cards that exist for the item you're
looking for farm a specific zone that
those divination cards drop in and
slowly build yourself up asset there are
a number of different ways for you to
find out where specific divination cards
set drop and what they actually give but
one such way is the path of Exile wiki
there'll be a link for this page down in
the description below
I'll also be likely to make some guides
in the future for how to farm specific
sets and the items that you can get from
them as well so here's some points on
how divination cards actually work now
in addition to dropping in specific
locations for example the battle born
currently drops in town stronghold or
count streams so basically those two
sets of zones can drop this
battleborn set for a unique axe now in
addition to that they have their own
drop priorities which is uncommunicative
this is kind of like a hidden
behind-the-scenes thing and then you
have an actual amount of cars that you
actually have to farm up
so the battleborn you need five cards to
be able to complete the set
for comparison's sake we have the gem
cutter which Awards a gem cutters prison
and this is a three out of three set
that can be farmed in either the mines
or the Crystal veins now another thing
to know about divination cards is that
when you turn them in you actually get a
item returned that is the same item
level as your character's current level
so for example if I turn in the
battleborn here I'm going to get an item
level 59 acts now when it comes to
uniques this doesn't affect the actual
uniques that you can get this can still
give me any unique acts but this can be
an important factor to note if you're
looking to try and get six linked items
where it doesn't specify that it'll be a
six linked item or if you're hoping to
get a higher level piece of jewelry or
armor or something like that that's
going to be more relevant to you at
higher levels a good example of this
practice in motion is the carrion crow
set this set Awards a random piece of
armor with a life roll on it now this is
great for leveling but if you find
yourself not needing a piece of life
armor at the moment most of your gear is
good your level 30 most of it's pretty
good and your levelling just fine you
can actually hold on to it until later
so you can turn it in when say your
level 50 or 55 when you may actually
need some better armor or maybe you want
to turn this in later game and use it as
a crafting base to augment and then
later regal so if you do hold off from
turning this in when you do turn it in
it'll be the same item level as your
character and you can potentially get a
better base and a better life role so
the result of this is you may have to
make a decision when you complete your
divination card set even if you
completed the set in normal cruel
difficulty you may want to hold onto it
until endgame or it might be something
that could help you out in the leveling
process and then you want to turn it in
earlier so what do you actually do with
the completed set once you have one well
once you make it to act 4 at least in
normal you can come over to the NPC here
named to suni and then go trade
divination cards and you can trade the
actual card set as long as it's
completed - to suni for your item in
return so let's see what I get from the
battle born here I managed to find
myself a dieters not a bad little unique
and then of course we know what we'll be
getting from this one the gem cutters
pretty obvious stuff
I got myself a gem cutters prism so guys
hopefully you enjoyed this look at
divination cards I really like this new
mechanic because it doesn't step on the
toes of existing content but rather
enhances it and provide some alternative
means of farming it's also really great
for self found characters too if you
