Path of Exile 3.17: Twink Guide
Dear exiles, today the best gaming store MmoGah will summarize Fyre's Path of Exile 3.17 Twink Guide to you. You can view his original video or read this post. Now let's begin.
Notes:
1. Start of Act 1:
Level with Silverbranch.
Use Caustic Arrow + Mirage Archer + Volley + Onslaught + Chance to Poison + Pierce.
Socket Puncture + Chance to Poison in Silverbranch for Brutus.
2. End of Act 1:
Get Hollow Palm to Kill Merveil with it.
Use Smite + Ancestral Call Support + Ruthless + Added Fire + Maim + Onslaught
3. Replace each gem as follows:
- - Smite: Never
- - Ruthless: Never
- - Ancestral Call: Replace it with Melee Physical Damage when/if you acquire Tribal Fury as an annoint on Astramentis/Hinekora's Sight.
- - Added Fire: Replace it with Elemental Focus after gaining Cold Conversion mastery on the tree.
- - Maim: Replace it with Faster Attacks at Level 18 > Replace Faster Attacks with Trinity after acquiring Cold Conversion mastery on the tree.
- - Onslaught: Replace it with Elemental Damage with Attacks after acquiring Cold Conversion mastery on the tree and obtaining Silver Flask.
- - Clarity & Herald of Purity: In Act 3, replace it with Purity of Elements (Or Hatred if you don't want Purity of Elements).
- - Herald of Ash: Replace it with Defiance Banner when you fit Grace into the build (We run slightly less MRE due to being in a different part of the tree).
- - Dash: Replace it with Flame Dash as soon as you are high enough level.
4. Important things to consider:
- - Precise Technique will only work with Hinekora's Sight amulet, do not take/equip either until you can do both.
- - At some point between Act 5-10, you can take the mana reservation nodes for Grace. You can/should level it up from Act 3 onwards so that it is relevant when you're ready to use it.
- - The endgame/mapping setup is not a min-maxed Hollow Palm build. It is simply an extension of a Hollow Palm Twink character so that you can level up through maps, breaches, delve or heisting in order to eventually respect or at least be in the correct level range to benefit fully from 5-ways.
- - The Nomad remains relevant in endgame/mapping due to the Str > Int requirement of Fractal Thoughts, it can be replaced with a Headhunter alternatively, or higher level/well rolled abyssal jewels.
- - The endgame gear CAN be upgraded further if you want. This is just the simplest/easiest/cheapest setup that I've tested.
- - Briskwrap and other body armors are not used because of socket color limitations. Feel free to check before starting if you wish to use them.
- - 50% Damage Corrupts on a Tabula are a sizeable damage boost early game and don't have level requirements attached and are highly recommended.
- - Flask nodes can be skipped if leveling with a Mageblood.
- - The Abyssal jewels used in the low-level setup have no level requirement. This is why you should use the provided link.
5. Generic Tree Priority:
- - Hollow Palm
- - Sources of Leech
- - Flasks/Dex%/Cold Conversion/Precise Technique
- - Mana Reservation Efficiency to fit Grace into the build
- - Generic Damage/Life
The tree I have provided is an attempt at a size fits all setup that efficiently picks up a mix of damage/defense. Change it according to your needs/desires.
Warning: Make sure to reposition Hollow Palm in Act 3.

Cheatsheet
1. Start a new character, equip it with Silverbranch, Tabula, Goldrim, Seven League Step, Darkness Enthroned + Abyss Jewels with Dex. Socket Chance to Poison, Pierce, Onslaught and Caustic Arrow into Tabula. At level 4, add Mirage Archer + Volley into the links and socket Puncture into the Silverbranch. At level 5, equip Karui Ward. Run 1x Life Flask, 2x Mana Flasks and 2x Quicksilver Flasks.
2. Roll Quicksilver (and other) Flasks for Chemist's/Perpetual Prefixes and Instilling Orb (a kind of PoE currency/orb) until they hit "Used When Charges Reach Full". Equip Dash at Level 4, Flame Dash at 10, use both. Equip Clarity when you have the Int.
3. At Level 12, after completing the Fairgraves/Dweller quests, you can equip One with Nothing, allocate Hollow Palm, ensure you have NO GLOVES OR WEAPONS equipped, Remove Silverbranch and Replace Karui Ward with Replica Karui Ward. (Scion must wait till mid Act 2 to make this swap), Templar/Marauder/Witch must use Dex Conversion Gems. Equip Smite with Onslaught, Ancestral Call, Ruthless, Added Fire and Maim.
4. During Act 2, Equip/Use Herald of Ash & Purity. At Level 18, Replace Maim with Faster Attacks. Upon reaching Cold Conversion nodes, you can replace Added Fire Damage with Ele Focus and Faster Attacks with Trinity (Some classes reach this later than others). Towards the end of Act 2, Equip Astramentis. If you annointed it with Tribal Fury, you could replace Ancestral Call with Melee Phys. Replace a Mana Flask with Taste of Hate upon obtaining Mana Leech.
5. During Act 3, you can equip both Le Heup For All rings. These rings provide massive damage increases. However, mana costs can be tight, especially without mana leech. Upon acquiring Purity of Elements, replace Herald of Purity/Clarity with Purity of Elements and also Equip Elemental Weakness once available.
6. During Act 4, replace a Mana Flask with a Sulphur Flask.
7. During Act 5, you can replace a Quicksilver Flask with a Silver Flask. Upon doing so, replace the Onslaught Gem with Elemental Damage with Attacks.
8. During Act 6, you can Equip The Nomad belt. Allocate extra strength on the tree if needed to reach 200 Strength and activate the bonus Elemental Resistance.
9. Between Act 5-7, you can equip Hinkeora's Sight to enable Precise Technique on your tree. Neither is worth it without the other.
10. Between Act 5-10, you can reach enough mana reservation efficiency nodes to fit Grace into your build. The exceptions are Marauder, which also has to replace HoA with Defiance Banner to fit both in, and Templar, which can't fit it until after Act 10.
11. After Act 10, you can replace your Tabula with a Life/Res body armor with appropriate sockets. You may also replace your boots with Garukhan's Flight and your helm with Fractal Thoughts. Continue using the Mapping PoBs in this case.
12. After you finish Act 10, if you aren't ready to respec immediately, use the mapping PoB to chain Blood Aqueduct runs until Level 61-64, then level up in maps, breach, delve or heist in order to respec later OR to reach the appropriate level range to benefit fully from 5 Way carries (Usually Level 75~).
