After I had geared up my brand new poe currency character, I dropped the entirety of the remaining chaos into maps. Mapping can be very unforgiving, and on a first personality you'll definitely spend the majority of your time stuck on early maps. In case you have the in-POE game currency to bypass this at all, you should use it. My first character took six times to degree to 94. My next character took 2 and a half a week to strike 93, and that is mostly because of the money I was prepared to install.
Running maps all day is boring. Not everyone can be like Ziziran and play for 16 hours per day every day. It didn't help that my friends had expired and quit the league.
If you're intent on winning a race in Path of Exile, you want to get in the mindset of enjoying only "one more map" And after you finish it, run one more map. Set up a movie or a music playlist which gets you into the groove, and just keep going. Make it second nature to open the next map as soon as you depart, so you have to keep grinding.
That having been said, it's important to stay healthy and sane, and 16+ hour days are not healthy. After four or five days of living and breathing Path of Exile, my body was screaming to get rest, and my palms had cramped up.
It's worth mentioning how important sleep is. You make better choices when you are well-rested. If you do not get enough sleep while you're competing in a Path of Exile race, you may make a sloppy mistake and perish.
During long grinding sessions, be sure to step away from the computer every few hours. Spend 30 minutes doing something that doesn't entail looking at a screen.
It's not that the end of the world in case you die or do not get a Demi. I died twice in the Turmoil race. The second time was extremely disappointing because I was in the top five for my class at the time, also this was the first race I had ever tried to win. Both of the times I expired involved elderly mechanisms, but I learned from my mistakes.
In Mayhem, I made a stupid decision to buy poe exalted orbs on day six and died, but made another character instantly and kept pushing. I was in 2nd spot for my class when this happened.
