PoE Tactful Thievery: Complete Heist encounters

13. Tactful Thievery(4)

Complete each of the following Heist encounters.

League mechanics: Heist. Kirac map mods: Area contains 2 additional Smuggler’s Caches(cost: 5 Chaos Orbs). List of PoE Heist Atlas Tree.

Here’s a breakdown of how to tackle each Heist challenge in Path of Exile (POE):

Open Smuggler’s Caches (0/60):

  • These appear randomly throughout various maps and story areas (Act 6 and beyond).
  • They won’t be highlighted by default on some loot filters, so adjust your filter settings to include them if necessary.
  • Just interact with any Smuggler’s Cache you encounter during your regular gameplay. It will transport you to the Rogue’s Harbor instead of dropping loot directly.

Level a Heist Job to level 5:

  • Focus on running the highest level contracts you can comfortably handle. Higher level contracts grant more experience to your Rogues, even if the specific job level requirement for the blueprint is lower than 5.

  • Prioritize efficiency. Aim for fast completion by clearing the path to the objective and avoiding spending too much time on side activities.

  • Equip your Rogues with gear that increases their "job speed" to expedite task completion.

  • Utilize passive rewards that boost experience gain, like specific passive skill tree nodes or challenge completion rewards.

Complete Item Level 78 or higher Priceless or Precious Target Value Contracts (0/15):

  • There’s no guaranteed way to get these specific contracts, but you can increase your odds:
    • Contract Level: Run contracts with a level that guarantees item level 78 or above (often tied to the area level requirement).

    • Alert Level: Increase the Alert Level during Heist preparation for a better chance of high-value targets but with tougher enemies.

    • Specific Rogues: Include Vinderi, the Contract Specialist, in your team to potentially increase the revealed contract reward value.

    • Multiple Contracts: Run as many Heist contracts as possible to maximize your chances.

    • Refer to the Path of Exile Wiki for Rogue specializations: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Heist

Complete Item Level 78 or higher Blueprints with 4 wings (0/5):

  • The number of wings indicates layout complexity, not guaranteed item level. Focus on item level first.
  • Look for contracts referencing areas with a level of 78 or higher for a higher chance of high item level blueprints.
  • Grand Heists: These offer a significantly higher base item level and are obtained by combining four blueprints of the same base type (e.g., four Lockpicking contracts).

Overall Tips:

  • Prioritize completing challenges you can achieve naturally during your regular gameplay (Open Smuggler’s Caches).
  • While leveling Heist Jobs, focus on efficiency and prioritize high-level contracts for faster progress.
  • Acquiring high-value contracts and high item level blueprints with 4 wings might take longer due to the element of randomness involved.

Remember, these challenges are designed to take time and effort. Be persistent, focus on efficient Heist completion, and you’ll eventually achieve them.
