NO.1 Poe When To Start Maps
It depends on your practical life pool/ defenses. The rule of thumb I follow is no less than 4k life and no less than 6k ES if you're CI.
Also depends on what hourly XP rate you can maintain in the merciless dried lake. I'll usually stay in the drained pond as long as my xp\hour is staying over 100 M per hour.
So it could be as soon as 73 or as late as even 84. You also have to way the cost/time of rolling maps compared to essentially having a free tier 1 density map at your disposal all the time.
NO.2 Poe When To Chisel Maps
The best answer is to look at the cost of chisels, and the cost of maps. Being able to buy a whole new Map is effectively 100% more quantity and 100% more exp. Whereas using chisels is only 20% increased quantity, and is additive with the mods you roll onto that map, which is apparently massively worse.
At the start of a league, you want to use chisels on pretty low tier maps, because maps are still expensive. But as the league progresses, you want to save them for higher and higher Maps.
At this stage in the league, maps are so cheap that you want to save chisels for T13-14 at the lowest. Since on anything smaller, you'd get better returns by merely selling the knives, and buying maps with the currency.
Whether you should chisel or not is based on map cost, not map tier. Only chisel expensive maps.
NO.3 Poe When To Alch Maps
depends on how many Alch orbs you have.
If you only have like 20. Alch higher maps.
If you have hundreds. Alch everything.
Choosing is a different story.
1-7 Just Alch and go unless it has a mod you can't run, then just chaos once to get the mod off.
8-11 Alch and Poe chaos Orb for single or double packs and consider running bloodlines Zana mod based on quantity.
12-15 run 28+ Packsize and bloodlines mod on everything.
Always keep in mind the mod's you're comfortable running on your character.
White Maps = Transmute and go
Yellow Maps = Alch and go
Red Maps = Chisel, Alch, Chaos for Packsize, Sac Fragment, etc
NO.4 Poe When To Do Labyrinth
Standard iron is Easy; I usually wait until 42 to be able to use hallowed life flask in the lab. Cruel is lv 55, same deal, level 60 is divine life flask, somewhat safe option. Merciless: whenever you feel safe, just cap resists after killing Kitava A10.
Classes like inquisitor or necro that benefit a lot from regular lab should just do it at around 30-35 or whatever is the earliest you feel comfortable doing it. Some build with really strong single-target even earlier.
You can apply enfeeble and blind with something to make it a bit safer. Also if you're pathing next to MoM and have a bit of unreserved mana, you can spec it for small extra one-shot buffer and then remove it after lab.
If first points aren't precious to my build, I might finish act 4 before doing it.
NO.5 Poe When To Use Vaal Orb
Most people use their Vaal orbs, as a general rule, use it on things you're willing to lose. So avoid falling stuff like your chest, since losing your 5L/6L can be quite expensive. But Vueling things like Jewels, Gems, cheap but useful uniques, gear that you have good backups of, low-level cartographer's strongboxes, etc. can be a good idea. There are quite a few valuable ways to use Vaal Orbs to improve your gear.
The downside is they can make your stuff worse as well. So you should look up the potential downsides of Valuing a given item(The possible benefits and disadvantages vary based on what it is you're Vaaling), and see if it's worth trying.
Tabula for the +1 gems dream
Museum/Arena maps for the twinned corrupted bosses giving fragments (6 bosses total)
Any decent ring/amulet with a rather lousy base (coral amulet base is practically useless, and most things are better)
Some people also Vaal quivers to try and get +1 arrow, but it's even less likely to happen than a +1 gems tabula. Might be worth it in that life on hit quivers.
If you even find a cartographer's box, get out, buy a Vaal if you don't have, and roll +6-8 items and quantity if you can on it. It gives you so much more from each map it's just insane. I had a level 70 map with one, Vaal'd it, and I built my map pool out of the 18 corrupted maps I found there. It's rare atm, don't miss the opportunity to do it!
