In Path of Exile (POE), Sulphite is the resource used for delving deeper into the Azurite Mine. Here’s how you can acquire it:
Voltaxic Sulphite Veins (Primary Method):
Finding Veins: These glowing blue rock formations appear randomly throughout regular maps while you’re running them.
Click and Collect: Simply approach a vein and click on it to gather the Sulphite it contains. The amount of Sulphite obtained depends on various factors like area level and Atlas passives.
Increased Spawn Chance: You can improve the chance of encountering Sulphite Veins by using certain fragments, Master missions with Niko the Mad, and specific Atlas skill nodes.
Niko the Mad Missions (Guaranteed Source):
Daily Encounter: Once per day, you’ll encounter Niko the Mad in a random location within your current zone (indicated by a gear symbol on the minimap).
Guaranteed Sulphite: If you’ve already unlocked the Azurite Mine by progressing through the campaign, interacting with Niko will always grant you Sulphite from nearby deposits.
Here are some additional tips for maximizing your Sulphite acquisition:
Map Selection: Running higher-tier maps generally increases the chance of encountering Sulphite Veins and the amount of Sulphite they contain. However, balance this with your character’s ability to clear maps efficiently.
Prioritize Clearing: Focus on clearing monsters and completing map objectives quickly to maximize the number of areas you explore and potentially encounter Sulphite Veins.
Atlas Skill Tree: Invest in Atlas passives that enhance Sulphite acquisition. Look for nodes that increase the spawn chance or quantity of Sulphite Veins in maps.
Fragment Usage: Certain scarabs or fragments like "Legion’s Carver" or "Gilded Fossil" can increase the chance of encountering resource veins, including Sulphite Veins, while running maps.
Master Missions: Prioritize Master missions with Niko the Mad, as these guarantee additional Sulphite deposits within the mission area.
By following these strategies, you’ll be well on your way to gathering enough Sulphite to delve deeper into the Azurite Mine and uncover its riches in Path of Exile.
