I started playing the first day of the new league. I played for about ten hours!

Today I did some reading and apparently using Righteous Fire adds a lot of damage to the build for not that much cost. In particular, my notes indicate that I bought Opalescent Oil (5 chaos), Cloak of Defiance Lacquered Garb (30 chaos), and Golden Oil (29 chaos) for the build (at 4 AM on 20200730).

This league was fun for me in part because I was able to craft some gear and generate some currency. The following were my purchases I had made greater than or equal to 40 chaos:
| Item | Price | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Perepiteia Synthesised Ezomyte Spiked Shield | 40 chaos | |
| Hate Spell Prophecy Wand | 80 chaos | |
| Kitava's Teachings Small Cluster Jewel | 68 chaos | There were listings for 55 and 65 c, but I couldn't get them. |
| Horror Claw Fingerless Silk Gloves | 48 chaos | |
| Watcher's Eye Prismatic Jewel | 2 exalt | (1 ex is 165 c) |
| Vengeance Song Prophecy Wand | 120 chaos | The person asked me to make an offer. An ex was currently 144.9 c, so I decided to offer 120 c. |

In terms of generating currency, the following were sales I had made greater than or equal to 40 chaos:
| Item | Price | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| my previous pair of Fingerless Silk Gloves | 100 chaos | Someone made an offer. I figured they were similar to the ones I just bought for 48 c... |
| jewel with 7% life, intelligence, and physical damage leeched as life | 50 chaos | |
| 21/0 Malevolence | 1 exalt | I had listed this for 120 c and the person offered 1 ex (1 ex is 170.9 c) |
| jewel with 9% global critical strike, 16% critical strike multiplier | 70 chaos | |
| jewel with 5% attack speed while dual wielding, 15% melee critical strike multiplier, 7% life | 150 chaos | |

In addition to the fun of the Harvest mechanic itself, changes in some game mechanics and game balance made it so that a build I partially played during Delirium league, Enki's Arc Elementalist, was reworked from the Elementalist ascendancy to the Necromancer ascendancy. I'm glad I was able to play Enki's build more fully this league - even though it was quite different. The important part was that it was fun to play. I should note that a big boost in damage came partway through the league when somebody noticed that Righteous Fire synergized well with the build.
Finally, I want to be sure to mention that I spent a lot less time playing this league compared to last league. Of course, in the last league, I essentially put time into two full characters. In addition, there was a good amount of inefficiency caused by my inexperience with the game. In particular, in hindsight I realized that my attempt to farm Oni-Goroshi was extremely inefficient. With that being said, this league definitely had it's own set of inefficiencies which I had not yet overcome.
