I am completely new to the game and this is my first character, lvl 94 Jugg RF. I make it to T16 with relatively no problems unless something crazy pops up. But for a while I was confused about how to upgrade my equipment and what to invest in. So far I've been following the upgrade instructions for the RF and I don't seem to get any drops that work for me. I tried to craft some POE items, but after consuming about 30-40 essence I got nothing that can be upgraded. Can you tell me what I need to focus on next, buying/crafting or should I just keep running the card to save? How much POE Currency do I need to prepare?

I currently have 300 chaos and 4 gods in the bank along with a bunch of essences and scarabs that I'm guessing can sell. The easy and cheap upgrades I've seen are:

- Change your Eldritch mplicits gauntlet and aim for hit hit and lots of fire spots.

- Craft a helmet with Essense of Horror to +30% ele's dmg and aim to support Burning or Conc effect.

- Get better potions with 3 stacks on hit and a related second accessory (3% recovery, movement speed, armor, curse reduction, fifth up to you).

- Maximize resistance and exchange amethyst for bismuth.

- Replace Immortal Meat with Stygian Pliers + Storm Gem for disease immunity.

On the more expensive side:

For survivability: Get Capped Chaos Resolve and upgrade to a Cluster Jewel setup (probably 2x Cluster Jewel) 

The jewel of vanity of timeless glory uses divine flesh for complete frenzy survivability.

Exchange your Fourth Wish for a shard of an encased Hate Essence Armor chest piece.

Remove element purity and include Skitterbots instead.

Once you've configured divine flesh with ALL capped resolutions, you can push the max chaos resolution to 90 using the following: +5 divine flesh. +2 Latent Eldritch Armor +4 Saffels +1 Cult of Chaos (Glorious Vanity) +3 Born of Chaos (Megalovian Cluster/Medium) 

Don't forget to gain armor mastery when dealing chaos damage.

For damage:

Configure the gem cluster and remove the minion and temple buttons. For the second cluster, you will need to remove the bottom resistance bit from the tree and the reserve energy nodes at the top. It is best to do this after you have set up God Flesh, otherwise you will be too weak.

Craft a +1/2 amulet (yours is complete crap) Craft a +1/2 staff.
