PoE 3.22 Atlas Strategy: Efficient Farming Currency in T16 Map

The path to profitability in Path of Exile lies in the careful crafting of a farming Poe Currency strategy that maximizes your character's strengths and exploits every opportunity. In this guide, we will explore an advanced T16 map farming strategy that has evolved from humble beginnings into a juggernaut of efficiency. We'll delve into the key elements of this strategy, including the Atlas tree setup, character optimization, and the art of swiftly dispatching map bosses.

↖ The Strategy's Core Tenets

• Character Prowess : The success of this strategy hinges on having a character that's been meticulously geared and honed to perform. It's crucial to reach a point where your character comfortably handles T16 maps, allowing you to pivot between strategies with ease.
• Focus on Map Bosses : Central to this strategy is rapid and efficient map boss extermination. Your goal is to reach map bosses and eliminate them within 30 seconds. The ability to consistently down bosses swiftly directly impacts your profit margins.
• Witness Bosses : The newly introduced Witness mechanic adds an exciting twist to the strategy. You're required to complete 10 different maps, each witnessing a map boss, to earn an invitation. Strategically utilizing this mechanic is key to maximizing your gains.
• Map Preparation : Adequate preparation is essential to maintain the fluidity of this strategy. Plan to do a group of 10 maps before engaging in an Invitation encounter. This rhythm ensures that your progress is uninterrupted and maximizes your efficiency.

↖ Optimizing the Atlas Tree

• Wandering Path Dominance : In your Atlas tree, opt for a Wandering Path setup. This configuration yields more map drops compared to specific boss nodes, providing a steady influx of maps for your strategy.
• Keystone Choices : Prioritize the Wandering Path and Destructive Play keystones for their direct synergy with this strategy's goals. Additionally, consider investing in the Shadow Shaping Keystone, which empowers you to block unwanted maps and further fine-tune your map pool.
• Map Blocking for Efficiency : Utilize Shadow Shaping to block maps that are either time-consuming due to layout or boss mechanics. This curates your map selection, focusing on maps that align with your quick-clearing approach.

↖ Character Optimization

• Speed and Targeting : Your character should be geared for swiftness while retaining ample single-target damage for bosses. Aim to eliminate map bosses within 30 seconds to maintain efficiency.
• Movement Speed Investment : Allocate movement speed nodes on the skill tree to enhance your character's speed. Quick Step is an essential skill that further accelerates your movement.
• Action Speed Boost : The Loyalty Tattoo of Rakata provides a significant action speed boost upon marking a unique enemy. This skill synergizes perfectly with your strategy, especially when used just before encountering the boss.
• Skill and Gem Adjustments : Fine-tune your skills and gem setups to emphasize movement speed and attack speed. Consider swapping to skills like Haste for heightened efficiency in clearing maps.

↖ Executing the Strategy

• Loot Filter Precision : Employ a strict loot filter to prioritize high-value drops. Stop to pick up items that are worth at least a chaos orb, ensuring that your time is spent efficiently.
• Map Selection : Choose maps that fit two criteria: swift traversal and easy boss access. Linear maps or those where you can quickly reach the boss within 30 seconds are ideal candidates.
• Boss Witnessing : Remember that Witness bosses only count for map bosses that you've marked on the Atlas. To achieve an Invitation, you must complete 10 different maps, each witnessing a map boss.

↖ Profit and Rewards

• Map Drops : With the optimized strategy, you'll notice a steady influx of maps. Conqueror maps, Elder Guardian maps, and Shaper Guardian maps will become regular rewards.
• Invitations and Caravan Missions : The Invitation encounters not only provide a unique challenge but also accumulate Caravan missions. These missions can be used strategically to obtain unique maps, Conqueror maps, and fragments, thereby bolstering your profit.
• Valuable Drops : While your primary focus is on bosses, the speed and frequency of boss encounters ensure consistent PoE currency drops, divination cards, and the potential for unique item finds.

↖ Conclusion

Mastering this efficient T16 map farming strategy requires a mix of character optimization, meticulous map selection, and strategic execution. Through optimized keystones, map blocking, and character adjustments, you'll be able to efficiently clear maps, farm bosses, and accumulate valuable rewards. This strategy is a testament to the depth and complexity of Path of Exile's endgame content, offering both thrilling challenges and rewarding profits for those willing to master its intricacies.

Atlas Passive Skill Tree Strategies Guide

December 28th, 2023, 14:47

Introduction

With the release of Siege Of The Atlas, we were yet again amazed by a mind boggling Passive Tree to learn and incorporate into our endgame strategies. For newer players, this may be just as overwhelming as first pressing the level up button when progressing through the Twilight Strand.

While this is not an exhaustive list of all of the different combinations of mechanics, these are some of our favourites for a variety of gameplay strategies.

Some investment into map sustain nodes should be considered absolutely mandatory until one has acquired all four voidstones. Thankfully these nodes are readily available and located reasonably close to each other, allowing us to easily pick them up while speccing into mechanics we enjoy and want to invest in.

Early Atlas Progression

As a baseline when beginning your atlas journey, we highly recommend optimising the amount of higher tier maps you gain to force your progression up as efficiently as possible. This kind of setup doesn’t require too many nodes and can be converted to your desired strategy later on without much effort. Picking up essence nodes early can make your gearing & progression significantly easier in the early days of the league, though you will want to prioritise the map sustain nodes. This is intended for newer players who are not comfortable rushing through map tiers. If you are, please see the next entry instead.

Early Progression Atlas Tree Follow the line to the left. Once you take Shaping the Skies, take the gateway over to Shaping the Mountains. Then Proceed up to Shaping the World. Then fill out the rest of the tree.

Wandering Path

Wandering Path is currently the meta league start atlas tree. It takes nothing but small nodes that focuses on map sustain. In order to make this as smooth as possible, we have broken the tree down into progression stages for you.

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 – Fully grab 100% chance to drop connected. Stage 4 – Grab all the hyper-efficient Duplication nodes

This stage is where you as a player need to make a choice. You can either keep taking small nodes, like “increased effect of map modifiers” to get even more map drops and progress even faster, or you start taking nodes leading into mechanics you wish to engage with later. This choice is entirely up to you. Just make sure you get your two first void stones as early as you possibly can.

Alch & go Heist, Essences & Blight with Searing Exarch

This strategy focuses on picking up Essences, Blight and Heist. Blight is your big mechanic to lean into here, while Essences and Contracts serve as simple click-collects that you hoard and unload in bulk. Blight on the map device may also be extremely profitable in this Atlas Tree, it is however usually one of the more expensive options on the device and it may be difficult to sustain without building up a large currency base

Alch & Go Tree with Blight Atlas Tree

Abyss, Expedition, Essences & Blue Altars.

Abyss, Expedition, Essences and Blue Altars Atlas Tree

Hybrid Bosser shrines and Essences

This tree allows you to pick your favourite mechanics while picking up the major bossing nodes, allowing for a relaxed, hybrid playstyle that also grabs Shrines for speed and Essences for pure profit.

Hybrid Bosser Atlas Tree

Breach, Essence, Shrines and Harbingers.

This tree embraces Breach and grabs a variety of mechanics that also spawns volumes of mobs. It also grabs Essences, because Essence is free money. Shrines for speed.

Breach, Essence, Shrines and Harbinger Atlas Tree

Legion, Blue Altar and Shrines.

This tree focuses on Legion and takes Blue Altars for divine gambles as well as Shrines for speed. It is important that you use at most Polished Legion Scarab, as Gilded Scarab would guarantee a boss spawn and they simply take too long. There are free points in this to throw in whatever mechanic you want, or more boss-rushing nodes.

Legion, Blue Altars and Shrines Atlas Tree

Atroz’s Lazy farm

This tree will focus on Expedition and Harvest. It also grabs Essences because essences are free money. It’s designed to be played with Stream of Consciousness and does not need any scarabs or sextants or anything complicated. It blocks everything else and takes some boss rushing nodes for more free money. If you want to switch off your brain and farm large bulks of things, this is the tree for you.

Atroz Lazy Farm Atlas Tree

This tree leaves some points towards the end open. You can fill these with what you want, but I personally add harbingers if I am not yet 100, and more raw quant (through map effect nodes) otherwise. You spend them however you want, really.

Atroz Lazy Farm With Voidstones Tree

Red Altar farming with Grand Design.

This strategy leverages the altars themselves and their interaction with pack size to give quite an astounding amount of raw currency drops. Most of the mechanics this tree specs into, are used purely to further scale pack size through Grand Design. While altars are our main focus in this, Boxes and Beasts will still occasionally grant us a nice chunk of change alongside the currency from the altars. This strategy requires four void stones, all atlas points and your favourite map slots to function. It is important that you favourite your map of choice with all but one favourite map slot, and favouring a map connected to that one with the final favourite slot. Which exact map to run is up to you, but we would suggest you pick a map “without” a boss. What I mean by this, is that you select a map that doesn’t normally have its boss spawned. This is to eliminate boss reward altars from the altar pool, leaving us with only Player and Monster altar pools, thus drastically increasing our ability to stack up high amounts of reward altars.

This tree WILL require pack size rolling and math. The formula is essentially: Atlas quant + Scarabs + map pack size = 100%

Atlas tree pack size = 45%. Growing Hordes provides us with 7% pack size per Polished and 10% per Gilded. These are our numericals and it’s important to understand what this does. 2 Polished + 2 Gilded = 34% – This is cheaper than the below version 4 Gilded = 40%

So what you do here, is you take the base number (tree pack size) + your combination of scarabs and add those numbers together. You then have the number you need to roll on maps.

Example: 45% + 34% = 79%. This means your maps need to be rolled to 21% pack size. Example big: 45% +40% = 85 This means you cannot get below 100%. The lowest possible pack size is 16 on a rare map.

If gilded scarabs are cheap, the gilded option is therefore preferable as no math is required and only modifiers matter now.

Red Altar farming Tree

Wildwood Abuse featuring Abyss

The core idea of this strategy is to take all the Quantity, Rarity and Currency Conversion mechanics offered by the Wildwood and super-juice them with the use of pre-existing in-game mechanics. In this case, that would be primarily Abyss, with a side entry of Beyond and Harbingers. You go into the Wildwood and collect as much juice as you possibly can, and then proceed to wade through an ocean of mobs hoping as many of them as possible get a benefit of Wildwood. This sounds pretty simple, and it is. It will involve a bit of trading for specific Scarabs and Sextants, and it will require a reasonably defensive build to do this in red maps. Squishy bow builds should likely avoid this strat entirely, even in lower map tiers. This is NOT a super low-entry farming strategy, and it will probably kick your ass if your build is not super strong. You most likely will also need to play quite well to handle this. You’ve been warned Exile!

To do the strategy efficiently you want to hunt for a trail of each colour. Scout the edges to find a trail of colour and follow that trial until you have around 2k wisps. After you gather 2k of a colour you go hunt for other colour trails, and slowly walk to the edge to see if you agro mobs in the Wildwood as they will reveal a new trial for you most of the time. The best outcome would be 2k of each colour but it does depend on rng. Try not to pick up any let-over wisps, you pick those up after the portals spawn so you don’t waste any light.

• Purple + Yellow + Blue = GG
• Blue + Yellow = Currency
• Purple + Yellow = Uniques

if you can’t find any trials, “Try to hunt for the little light bubbles (as they will make you stay longer in the wildwood)” Not the big light bubbles as they will just explode and reveal the area around.

You want to make sure you are running a map that doesn’t have a boss. What we mean by that is a map in which the boss is NOT spawned when we enter the map, and requires us to do something in order to spawn it ourselves. The reason for this, is that it eliminates the “boss” mod options from the altars, leaving us with a very high likelihood of being able to pick the player quantity option, which is why we are running blue altars. The map having Fortunate is a huge bonus. Wildwood spawns more monsters. Makes monsters drop more stuff. Quantity makes monsters drop more stuff. It all makes sense. This league that means Jungle Valley, as it’s our only good option. Arachnid Nest exists, but it is infinitely inferior.

Absolutely required items:

Gilded Abyss Scarab Abyss Sextant – “Your Maps can contain Abysses Your Maps contain an additional Abyss”

Optional Sextants:

Delirium Beyond Fourth Sextant is entirely up to you. We prefer to go with “Hunted Traitors” because it adds mobs, and it’s funny to watch the mobs fight each other.

Optional Scarabs

Harbingers – Adds more Pack size Divination – Adds more Divination Cards Reliquary – Adds more Unique Drops

You can really run whatever you want in these optional slots, but we believe these are the best results.

Wildwood and Abyss tree

Final Notes

As much as I love making guides, it is very crucial in a game like Path of Exile that you play the game the way you enjoy playing it. With that said, if you’ve made any tweaks to the trees compared to what I’m showing in this guide I would love it if you shared in the comments! It’s an effective way to show other approaches and it helps me grow as a guide creator!

How To Earn Massive Currency In POE 3.22 With Wandering Path Altars Farming Strategy?

Oct 16, 2023 Source: POECURRENCY

• Path of Exile 3 22
• POE Wandering Path

If your previous currency farming strategy has been difficult to implement due to map challenges, then you must not miss this Wandering Path farming guide. 

This guide describes an enhancement method that focuses on Delirium effects. This method not only increases profits but is also entertaining.

Pros & Cons

First, let’s talk about the pros and cons of this farming strategy.

Obviously, this approach will bring us high returns. Especially in Red Altars , we can find many items to be sold immediately in bulk for lucrative POE Currency .

Then, it is very easy to set up and requires minimal investment and time. Start with a small set of maps and the benefits will grow exponentially.

Next, let’s talk about the shortcomings of this method. It has to be said that this strategy involves a lot of clicking and may cause hand fatigue. Meanwhile, enhanced mod effects can lead you to dangerous map mods and deadly death effects.

In addition, its operation requirements are also very high. Comprehensively, fast builds are necessary to maximize profits.

Atlas Tree setup focuses on maximizing the size of Delirium Supporter Packs with nodes such as Growing Hordes, Wandering Path, and Wrath of the Cosmos .

The specific point to emphasize is to focus on Minion Altars farming for maximum Delirium Orbs drops. We use Singular Focus Keystone as our key to farming Mausoleum Map . We’ve also taken on Growing Hordes to allow us to use Rusted Scarab to increase group size on the map.

Roll Maps & Materials Required

This strategy uses Wandering Path Keystone to double the effect of small nodes. We do this to achieve a 37% repeat rate for map drops and a greater than 50% chance of spawning a Delirium Mirror . This increases the chance of dropping Delirium Orbs and the large pack size of Searing Exarch Altars .

Starting with about 10 maps, you’ll want to make sure you have the necessary POE items such as Scarabs, Vaal Orbs, Alchemy, and Scourers . You will then insert all Scarabs into the map device. Each map will consume one.

To scroll your map, you must alchemy your map and then vaal it. If mods become unfavorable or maps become unrecognizable, isolate them to re-roll or use a Sextant.

If Delirium appears, pause for a moment before entering the fog. Focus on reaching the six reward tiers in Delirium and prioritize Minion Altars for maximum POE Currency profits.

Loot Breakdown & Profit

In a unique event, we could get two Voidborn Reliquary Keys from consecutive maps. Their total value is 6.5 Divine Orbs . These affect profit calculations.

Another Essence Memory, Einhar’s Memory of Crystal Prison , is worth about 1.5 Divine Orbs and is another noteworthy drop.

Meanwhile, accumulate large amounts of Delirium Orbs, which can be sold in bulk for more than face value. Given that these Orbs are passively obtained simply by engaging with Delirium mechanic, they represent a substantial return on investment.

Out of 114 maps, the average cost per map is approximately 5.4 Chaos Orbs . The total regressor is 10,933 Chaos Orbs, which translates to 46.9 Divine Orbs. Excluding the sharp decline, the net profit is approximately 8430 Chaos Orbs. This results in a profit of 74 Chaos Orbs per map or just under 11 Divine Orbs per hour.

This strategy has produced a range of currencies, with particular mention being the ultra-rare Voidborn Reliquary Key and Einhar’s Memory of Crystal Prisons . 

Rusted Scarab drops frequently, helping make the map’s farming cycle more sustainable. It will also drop here various Divination Cards , some of which, such as Dragon’s Heart , are of considerable value.

This strategy produces more maps than initially invested, meaning minimal downtime between runs. While they’re valuable, it’s also fun to open Voidborn Reliquary Keys and see what they reveal.

If executed correctly, Wandering Path farming strategy can generate huge profits in a short period. Through efficient map running and a focus on Delirium mechanics, players can maximize rewards and enjoy engaging gameplay in Path of Exile 3.22.

Hi, builders! This guide introduces the Explosive Trap Trickster, a bossing league starter for Path of Exile 3.24 that is both tanky and consistent. Known for its tanking abilities and boss-killing abilities, Trickster has won over novices and experienced players alike.

It’s a perfect choice for those seeking an easy to play build that offers both durability and effectiveness, setting a firm foundation for economic progression early in the game. Utilize Assassin’s Mark and Bear Trap for added single-target damage, the build ensures smooth boss encounters with no constant recasting.

Leveling Progress

At the beginning, we utilize Stormblast Mine and Orb of Storms. To maximize effectiveness, stand within the Orb of Storms and detonate the Stormblast Mine, amplifying the Orb of Storms's damage output significantly. Then, at around Level 12, transitioning to Lightning Trap while retaining Orb of Storms remains a viable strategy. The progression of gem usage is straightforward across various stages of development.

Upon reaching Level 38, we incorporate Lightning Trap and Lightning Spire Trap into our arsenal. As we progress to higher-tier maps, we transition to using Explosive Trap . Notably, this build does not require any transfigured gem.

Early Game Gear Setup

When it comes to early game items, simplicity is key, and this approach aligns perfectly for league starters. We prioritize straightforward gear selection, focusing on essentials like life and resistances.

Not relying on unique items allows players with a small amount of POE Currency to build. This simple approach makes it a great choice for solo play and ensures players of any experience level can complete the mission with ease.

In the mid-game phase, acquiring a Lightning Coil becomes a priority. Fortunately, this item is readily obtainable through farming. Lightning Coil divination cards can be found in various maps, particularly in cemeteries and lead lines. Essentially, any map with open areas suitable for Lightning Strikes should yield results.

Players can also opt for Alternating Sceptre. While these are rare drops from Heist encounters, investing time in Heist content and running blueprints can greatly enhance your chances of obtaining one. Aim for a sceptre with at least a +1 to physical skill gem, and later, with persistence, achieving a +2 modifier becomes increasingly deterministic.

• Weapons : Void Sceptre & Supreme Spiked Shield
• Helmet : Deicide Mask
• Body Armor : Sadist Garb
• Gloves : Dragonscale Gauntlets
• Boots : Dragonscale Boots
• Amulet : Citrine Amulet
• Rings : 2 Two-Stone Rings
• Belt : Heavy Belt

Leadership's Price

Another beneficial option for this build is Leadership's Price. This is particularly advantageous because of the scarcity of alternative Alternating Sceptres, which can be challenging to obtain. However, Leadership's Price can be acquired from the unique Contract The Twins . With luck, this item has the potential to offer significant bonuses, including +3 max fire, cold and lightning resistance.

It's essential to prioritize favorable rolls when considering this option. Avoid using items with undesirable rolls, as they are not worth utilizing. Leadership's Price essentially provides similar benefits to an Alternating Sceptre, allowing for the possibility of equipping another reliable sceptre like a Void Sceptre with favorable stats.

Endgame Gear Setup

As we transition from the mid-game to the endgame in the current patch, a pivotal upgrade involves acquiring Spellbreaker . This skill significantly enhances suppression capabilities, making it a potent addition to our arsenal. We'll aim to achieve action speed on our boots, reaching about 105. However, we'll implement this switch only after attaining freeze immunity from the Brine King Pantheon .

• Weapons : Alternating Sceptre & Supreme Spiked Shield
• Helmet : Hubris Circlet
• Body Armor : Desert Brigandine
• Gloves : Murder Mitts
• Boots : Murder Boots
• Rings : 2 Amethyst Rings
• Belt : Crystal Belt

Mana Sustain

Early in this build, mana sustain is crucial, so obtaining Primal Manifestation is recommended. As we progress, we can aim for the gear with reduced mana costs on rings and amulets. To facilitate this, focusing on Betrayal encounters is advantageous. One effective strategy involves resetting the Foothills area while below Level 72.

You can look for specific quest text on the right side of the screen. This process is repeated until a Betrayal encounter spawns, indicated by specific quest text. Once triggered, engage in the encounter to potentially acquire valuable gear early on, though it may require patience because of its occasional time-consuming nature.

The Lightning Conduit Elementalist stands as an underappreciated non-meta build within the POE 3.24 Necropolis League. It offers an ideal option for both casual players and seasoned veterans as a league starter. 

This build focuses on shock stacking, enabling efficient clearing of Tier 16 maps and tackling bosses with a solid set of defenses tailored for endgame content.

The likelihood of encountering setbacks with this build is minimal. Its resurgence occurred during the onset of the POE 3.23 league, where it underwent significant enhancement in quality. Opting for this build promises progress that consistently outpaces typical zone levels.

However, there is a caveat to consider. Entities possessing immunity to shock or resistance against elemental ailments pose significant challenges for this build. Fortunately, encountering such adversaries is largely confined to specific map and monster modifications. Consequently, one can opt to avoid engaging with these obstacles. This stands as the primary drawback of the Lightning Conduit Elementalist.

What Is Intended Use For This Build?  

The scope of its application is extensive, as it excels in most content barring essences beyond tier 12 and situations demanding significant movement speed. 

It efficiently dispatches packs of monsters while also swiftly eliminating resilient bosses.

Mechanics Of Skills

Additionally, there are a couple of crucial points to note.

In order for Lightning Conduit to operate effectively, we need to induce shock using a secondary skill or buff effect. Even for inexperienced players, adapting to this playstyle is feasible. When utilizing a lightning skill on Orb of Storms , it triggers a series of electrical arcs that strike the target, applying shock to enemies assuming you've acquired the Shaper of Storms ascendancy point.

Moreover, the target must be in close proximity to the circle. This aspect can prove troublesome with certain bosses like Hydra and others that frequently teleport. It's advisable to manually activate Steelskin based on your current situation. However, if managing multiple buttons becomes overwhelming, you can streamline the process by linking automation with the guard skill.

The Effectiveness Of Shock Nova

If there's a method to automate or activate Shock Nova without compromising its effectiveness, it could be revolutionary! 

This skill has the potential to augment the maximum shock effect by up to 20%. With every 5% increase in shock effect, we gain an additional 20% damage, resulting in a total of up to 100% more damage! 

Gear & Setup

Regarding gear setup, Singularity scepters are readily available and affordable in trade leagues, providing a significant damage boost to the build.

While Voice of the Storm isn't essential, it's a rare item, particularly on the first day of the league. However, it's not widely used by other builds. If unavailable, aim for any rare amulet with life, +1 lightning, and cast speed, as the difference is minimal.

Valako's Sign offers several beneficial uses in the endgame. Alternatively, Berek's Grip can be used if Valako's Sign isn't obtainable.

Inpulsa's Broken Heart greatly enhances clear speed for this build, albeit without adding extra damage. Its shock effect aids in smooth mapping. 

The Unnerve debuff, obtained from the Eater of Worlds Implicit on gloves, is another valuable damage source. The decision to forego the shock spread modifier is due to its redundancy with our mastery. 

If lightning exposure from gloves is obtained, Wave of Conviction can be removed from the gem setup. 

Thunderfist unique gloves can accommodate the Lightning Conduit setup, which proves more potent than the 6-link setup. 

Other crucial Eldritch Implicits include lightning exposure on gloves, cast speed, physical damage taken as elemental damage on the helmet, and action speed on boots.

The remaining POE Items and modifications are straightforward. If spell suppression is capped through gear, this entire section becomes unnecessary, saving seven passive points. 

A life flask with immunity to Bleed and Corrupted Blood is essential. Utility Mana flasks (Examiner's Silver Flask of the Ibex, Transgressor's Granite Flask of Abalone, Abecedarian's Quicksilver Flask of the Lynx) are optional, as flask sustainability depends on monster kills. For pinnacle bosses, using 4 life flasks is viable.

Explanation Of Configuration Values

Are you regenerating Energy Shield through leeching?

Indeed! We’re utilizing the Energy Leech support, which remains consistently active since we’re expending Energy Shield for our skills rather than mana. As for the 65% shock effect, it’s attributed to Lightning Mastery and our scaling of shock effect from various sources, which also enhances damage output.

However, when facing Guardian and pinnacle bosses, the efficacy of this regeneration can fluctuate between each hit due to their elevated elemental resistances.

About Leveling

When leveling this build, begin with Lightning Tendrils , an often underestimated skill due to its unique playstyle. This skill experiences substantial damage amplification with each increment of flat elemental damage added to it. This is primarily due to the scaling of Critical Strike multiplier and the effectiveness of added damage within the gem itself.

Ensure to adhere to the leveling gem setup outlined in the notes section. It is imperative not to commence with Lightning Conduit without acquiring Shaper of Storms! Once Lab 1 is completed and you’ve obtained this, transition to Lightning Conduit, also acquiring the Elemental Overload keystone.

For the secondary skill to apply shocks, I highly recommend employing Storm Brand with the same setup, as it necessitates a greater area of effect for Orb of Storms to reliably function.

You can obtain Lightning Penetration Support from the Siosa quest in Act 3 or from Lilly in Act 5. Subsequently, focus on scaling shock effect as much as possible from the passive tree. Adjust your attributes using these nodes or through amulets. Additionally, ensure to acquire either Grace or Determination after Act 3, as the difficulty spike in Act 4 can be considerable without these. Prioritize the auras that are most essential until you’ve effectively allocated all mana reservation within your passive tree.

If you have an affinity for minion-based builds and seek a reliable option in Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis, consider opting for the Lightning Summon Skeletons build .

This particular build is viable on both the Necromancer class in Softcore or the Champion class in Hardcore. It promises to offer a sturdy minion-centric approach, particularly suited for players comfortable with a more engaged playstyle.

If you're interested in pursuing and refining this build, ensure you have an ample supply of POE Currency at your disposal.

Mechanics & Playstyle

The Lightning Summon Skeletons build boasts formidable damage output, enhanced movement speed, impactful Vaal skills for burst damage, and the potential for solid resilience.

At the heart of the Lightning Summon Skeletons build lies the unique one-handed sword known as The Iron Mass, obtainable from Grand Heists . Equipping The Iron Mass in your main hand grants all Warrior skeletons wielding it the ability to deal triple damage for 4 seconds after you've recently struck with your weapon.

During mapping, maintaining the triple damage buff is typically achieved through the use of Whirling Blades or Leap Slam . While Leap Slam offers superior overall mobility, its triple damage uptime tends to be lower compared to Whirling Blades. The choice between them largely boils down to personal preference.

For single-target encounters and boss fights, Smite becomes the primary skill. It not only triggers the triple damage buff for 4 seconds but also bestows a substantial lightning damage aura upon minions. Moreover, when paired with Avatar of Fire , Smite triggers Elemental Equilibrium 's 25% lightning exposure. Admittedly, the playstyle of consistently maintaining the triple damage buff may not suit every player, but it proves rewarding with proficient execution.

As is customary, most of the flat lightning damage originates from Wrath, Smite, and Generosity gems socketed within March of the Legion, all of which are then tripled by The Iron Mass . Ghastly Jewels serve as another excellent source of flat lightning damage.

In Softcore, playing as a Necromancer allows for a crit-based approach. However, in Hardcore, especially when playing as a Champion, investing in crit can be challenging due to limited passive points, thus generally leading towards a non-crit setup.

Skeleton Minions

Skeletons present an intriguing mechanic: despite their aggressive nature, they exhibit a tendency to dash towards foes, aiding significantly in map traversal due to their moderate speed compared to other minions.

Regrettably, the sole practical means of enhancing their aggression in this setup is through the Feeding Frenzy Support , which proves beneficial for mapping endeavors if damage isn't a concern. A Summon Skeleton gem at 20/20 grants a maximum of 8 minions and summons 3 with each cast, increasing to 4 at level 21.

When utilizing Vaal Summon Skeletons, opting for level 5 Awakened Minion Damage typically serves as the most straightforward route to achieving gem level 21. Additionally, there are two sources of extra skeletons available on the passive tree, offering a considerable boost to damage output.

Unlike the majority of minions, skeleton damage isn't affected by increases in gem level, as they directly utilize and inherit the stats of The Iron Mass sword. Nonetheless, higher gem levels do provide a slight improvement in accuracy.

Offensive Vaal Skills

The build boasts several impressive offensive Vaal skills.

Vaal Summon Skeletons stands out by conjuring a vast array of diverse skeleton types, proving surprisingly effective for single-target burst damage. 

Vaal Haste grants substantial boosts to attack speed, cast speed, and movement speed for both you and your minions. 

Meanwhile, Vaal Smite bestows a notable portion of flat lightning damage upon your minions.

There's considerable flexibility in selecting these skills. Typically, opting for any two out of these three Vaal skills is advisable, as relying on all three can strain Vaal Souls reserves. It's recommended to utilize them together when facing resilient rare enemies, Essences, or formidable map bosses.

Tactical Approaches For Mapping

When mapping, summon skeletons amidst a cluster of monsters, then either leap slam into the group or whirl through them with blades before continuing onward.

Dealing with rare enemies involves casting skeletons twice and following up with a strike from Smite. It's essential to uphold the Wrath Aura granted by Divine Blessing consistently.

When facing map bosses or Essences, initiate by applying curses and your offering, then utilize Smite before activating all offensive Vaal skills to swiftly dispatch them.

Boss Battle Strategies

During boss encounters, frequently apply Smite to the boss while ensuring the maximum number of skeletons are engaged. If employing a crit-based strategy, maintain the Fresh Meat buff by summoning skeletons at least twice every 4 seconds.

Continuously manage Divine Blessing, Wrath , and Arcanist Brand alongside any curses and offerings. Save your powerful skills for opportune moments to maximize damage output.

Methods For Successful Leveling

Regarding the leveling process, utilizing skeletons might not be optimal until you acquire the necessary unique items, but it remains achievable.

For Necromancers, popular options for leveling include Detonate Dead or the Blink Arrow technique with Bombarding, commonly referred to as Bama, provided you obtain the gem. 

As for Champions, transitioning from Slayer Bone Shatter to a Champion respec later is likely the most effective option. Additionally, Explosive Arrow or Toxic Rain Champion builds can serve as viable alternatives for leveling.

Essential Items & Gems

Essential items include The Iron Mass, March of the Legion , and Blessed Rebirth . Blessed Rebirth ensures a guaranteed 4 seconds of uptime per cast, allowing for the neglect of minion defenses if support minions aren't utilized.

In Softcore Necromancer crit runs, consider employing the Ancient Skull Helmet for a significant damage boost. For Champions, The Devouring Diadem proves invaluable for addressing mana issues and enabling Divine Blessing.

Due to the reliance on several unique items, managing suppression can be challenging in certain setups unless utilizing a rare chest. Ensure to invest in the Lucky Suppression Mastery if not already capped. Ailment immunity can typically be resolved by utilizing Stormshroud in conjunction with a high-roll shock avoidance abyss jewel housed within Darkness Enthroned .

During mapping, utilize Melee Splash , swapping it out for Multistrike when facing bosses. Experiment with Feeding Frenzy Support for mapping to gauge the effectiveness of skeleton dash. For crit builds, always incorporate Fresh Meat Support and ensure a minimum of 40 seconds of Summon Skeleton duration.

Ascendancy Flexibility: Necromancer VS Champion

When it comes to ascendancy choices, this build is viable for both Necromancer and Champion .

Necromancer presents an easier option for league starters with fewer gear requirements. Additionally, Necromancer allows for the inclusion of specters or animate Guardian, though socket availability may be limited.

On the other hand, Champion offers increased durability and is better suited for hardcore play, although it poses greater challenges for league starters. It's advisable to refrain from using support minions with the Champion ascendancy. An alternative endgame setup, such as The Adorned , may be considered, albeit it often comes with a substantial cost. 

Initially, I designed this build around chaos damage, utilizing Severed in Sleep in the offhand for enhanced reliability with wither and crit. However, upon transitioning to a lightning setup, I found it to be significantly more effective and never looked back.

Recently, the update to Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis patch notes brought a series of new changes, the biggest of which is the replacement of Heist-exclusive base type Mechalarm Belt with a new Mechanical Belt base with a gem socket.

Here we’ll talk about the major changes in this new patch and talk about our thoughts on this new Mechanical Belt. So let’s take a quick look at these.

Boss Drop Changes

First, the developers made changes to Stacked Deck, Diviner’s Strongboxes, and Divination Cards we got. These serve as rewards for various content, but now they no longer drop Divination Cards for boss-exclusive items. They’ve actually modified this to make sure it works with all items, not just Uniques.

Scarab Rework

Then they removed Harvest crafting, which allowed you to swap a stack of Scarabs into different types. But it was removed as part of Scarab rework in this patch.

Skill Gem Changes

Also, they have made changes to Convocation skill gem . This skill gem resummons your minions at your location. But now the skill gem has been changed to a gem with a maximum level of 1. This means it doesn’t gain experience and doesn’t scale in any way.

But surprisingly, it now provides a fixed 2% life regen for minions. This is slightly better than the old level 20 version, and the gem’s level requirement is fixed to level 31.

New Mechanical Belt

Then we have a pretty big change in the item changes, which is Mechalarm Belt. This is an underutilized belt that casts spells in AOE and rips apart nearby enemies, but it doesn’t have great health. Therefore, we often need to invest a certain amount of POE Currency to improve its life regen.

After the update, Mechalarm Belt is no longer available in Heist and has been replaced by the new Mechanical Belt. This belt features “Has 1 Socket” Implicit mod. This is also the first gem socket belt we see in Path of Exile.

Mechanical Belt is the successor of Mechalarm Belt in Path of Exile. Their major difference is that Mechanical Belt has a socket that allows you to incorporate additional skills or utility gems, adding flexibility to your character.

Overall, Mechanical Belt offers more customization options for your character build than Mechalarm Belt.

I think adding this new Mechanical Belt is the developer’s response to what many in the community have said about gem socket pressure. In particular, the new league adds new Automation and Call to Arms Skill Gems , which will only increase the pressure on the socket.

So this belt provides an extra gem socket in there so that you can put one of the standalone gems into it, like Convocation, or put something like Blood Rage in a melee build.

I think this is a great addition to the game. But I’m not sure how much use it will get since the belt slot is really competitive, so we’ll have to see how many builds end up actually using it.

Other Item Changes

Another item change here is the addition of a new suffix modifier that rolls on Minion ones and Minion Shields, granting the level one Convocation skill.

In addition, they also changed the way different characters get Convocation. It is no longer available to Witch who has completed Lost in Love Quest, and is now no longer available for purchase from Clarissa NPC in Templar or Scion. It is still available for purchase from Siosa Foaga .

These are some of the major changes brought about by this update. Let me know what you think of this new Mechanical Belt . Do you think it will be widely used? Is it possible to replace something like Stygian Vise with this belt? See you next time!

Greetings Exiles! Welcome to my Path of Exile 3.24 league starter build guide, where I’m bringing my Fire Trap Ignite Elementalist.

This build features multiple layers of defense and damage scaling to help you level up and farm Essences with ease, or even challenge difficult content like Pinnacle Bosses. You can cruise around the map with Shield Charge while throwing traps. If you’re looking for a powerful starter build, don’t miss this guide.

Build Advantage

Before we get into that, let’s first talk about the advantages of choosing this build.

In POE 3.24 update, Frostblink received a huge buff, while Flame Dash was not so lucky. That’s why I added an offensive setup in PoB specifically for this.

Once you reach the map, try to get the level 20 version of Fire Trap. This is a skill whose massive damage scales with gem level and damage over time multiplier mods.

But why not choose Explosive Trap ? Because there are three sources of damage for a single Fire Trap skill: one is the flat fire damage caused by the hit, the second is the ignite caused by the hit, and the third is Burning Ground caused by the hit. These scale to fire damage from all modifiers.

Leveling Tips

Leveling is so smooth for this build.

You start with Rolling Magma while dual-wielding Goat’s Horns. Projectiles passing through Flame Wall add additional fire damage.

Consecrated Ground from Holy Flame Totem is a great way to restore life during boss fights. Don’t forget to use a Dexterity Amulet to switch to Fire Trap before dealing with Merveil. Once you grab Shaper of Flames and upgrade your Fire Trap, your damage will start to increase exponentially.

If you have a Mastermind of Discord but not Eldritch Implicit from Gloves for Fire Exposure, you can tie Wave of Conviction with Arcanist Brand along with Flammability and Elemental Weakness .

When leveling up, you’ll need some extra Strength and Dexterity. You can temporarily gain these Strength and Dexterity from these passive points or Amulet. Since you get Eldritch Battery early on, mana maintenance won’t be an issue as long as you look for Hybrid Energy Shield gear .

The first thing I want to mention about gear is Stormshroud , which is tier 1 unique but completely optional. If you get it somehow, it will help you fix Freeze, Shock, and Ignite without having to rely on Pantheon. You can easily avoid shock from Abyss Jewel and Boots if you use it.

I don’t like builds that rely on tier 2+ Uniques at the start of a league. So this build is also completely affordable for players with low POE Currency budget.

Alternatively, you can fix Freeze from Soul of the Brine King while getting Ignite and Burning Ground from Abberath.

Also, you will need a Life Flask that is immune to Bleed and Corrupted Blood. These Utility Flasks are optional, as your flask’s maintenance depends entirely on killing monsters. You can even use 4 Life Flasks when you fight Pinnacle Bosses.

Pyre and Eye of Malice are powerful and cheap unique items for this build. But Polaric Devastation is a huge damage buff. There is a vast difference between having this ring or not. However, this is an exclusive drop from Black Star and will only get cheaper a few days into the league.

As for the weapon, I am most interested in this league-specific unique, Dawnbreaker . This is the most powerful defensive unique shield currently in the game. It converts up to 20% of physical damage from hits into fire damage and has a huge chance to block attacks.

However, this is not cheap in the early stages of the league. Therefore, you can choose any other defensive shield until you can afford this one.

If your build isn’t too squishy and you can afford it, I recommend using Cloak of Flame , otherwise go with the rare Hybrid Evasion Energy Shield base. These items should have Evasion ability to gain a 15% chance of Suppressed Spell Damage Mastery.

The glove should have Implicit for Fire Exposure from Eldritch Ichor to stimulate Mastermind of Discord. Ignite spread is better than Fire DoT Multi with Searing Ember, as it helps with clearing speed.

Until you can afford the 6-link items, you can use Essence of Delirium to put this mod into your gauntlet, where you can master Fire Trap skill. This is much better than 5-link as it does 30% more damage without any drawbacks.

How To Reserve Mana Efficiency?

The next part is mana reservation and how we get 4 Auras through Divine Blessing. Suffice it to say, we’ve expanded the passive tree to cover the 3 powerful parts of this modifier. To do this, our gear doesn’t need another source to retain mana. If you run into problems ahead of time, you can use Mana Mastery or Rare Jewels to reserve efficiency.

Golems vs Bastion Of Elements

But why did we choose Golems instead of Bastion of Elements? The main reason is that there are very few benefits to be gained from Bastion of Elements.

With these 3 Golems, besides distracting enemies, you get 9% additional physical damage reduction, 294% life regen, and 38% overall damage increase. Plus, even if your Golems die, they will automatically respawn quickly.

So make sure to grab your last lab point, Liege of the Primordial , and then the passive point, Golem Commander .

The boss play style of this build can be explained from the fight against Minotaur.

The first thing is to apply Scorched Ground from the boots to the boss position, if possible. Then you throw a bunch of traps in the area where you expect your target to be. Once it consumes the damage over time effect, you can use Arcanist Brand linked to Flammability and Elemental Weakness.

The boss will most likely hunt your Golems instead of you. So throw the trap first, then Shield Charge while moving, and throw again. Then rinse and repeat using Flame Dash or Frostblink.

Originally, this build used Righteous Fire , but the downside was the need to deal with life regen when upgrading. But with the nerfs in POE 3.23 patch, this isn’t even worth the extra damage unless you can get max fire resistance and 1000+ life regen.

Anyway, that’s it for this Fire Trap Ignite Elementalist build guide. Hopefully, this build will help you get off to a better start when POE 3.24 league begins. Looking forward to seeing you in the game.

The Toxic Rain Pathfinder build proved to be exceptionally swift and effective as my initial choice for the POE 3.23 Affliction League.

How Does This Build Work Well?

With a significant boost of 350% movement speed achieved through thorough upgrades, I found myself making rapid progress through the game’s challenges despite my modest gaming abilities. This build enabled me to swiftly evade any threats and engage enemies from a safe distance.

However, as this was my inaugural build for POE 3.23, I neglected to incorporate any charms into its design. Despite these oversights, the Toxic Rain Pathfinder build proved to be one of the most efficient and enjoyable builds I’ve experienced. As for its farming capabilities, they were notably effective. As POE 3.24 Necropolis League draws near, I believe Toxic Rain Pathfinder build serves as a commendable choice for starting the league .

The Details Of The Flask (Mageblood Effect)

As highlighted in my previous guide, I smoothly traversed through Labs and Heist , maintaining nearly full uptime of my utility flasks. It was akin to having Mageblood the moment I acquired the Instilling Orb for use when charges reach full.

But how do we sustain this uptime? Every minor notable from the passive tree and ascendancy points contributes to this endeavor.

In terms of gear, all that’s necessary is a 20% flask effect duration alongside the cluster jewel featuring Spiked Concoction . Acquiring these is as simple as repeatedly using alterations on any of these jewels or utilizing harvest rerolls of attack modifiers.

By the time you attain the ascendancy point - Master Alchemist , you should be capable of sustaining your utility flasks most of the time without needing to corrupt them for more than 20% quality.

Regarding flask selection, the primary focus for the build is speed. However, if prioritizing defense, opt for Ruby , Sapphire , and Topaz flasks.

As for modifiers, securing elemental resistances is crucial, especially considering the build’s vulnerability with unique gear. Aim for the 25% increased effect once you’ve ensured ample flask sustain.

For life flasks, all my league starters are equipped with immunity to bleeding and corrupted blood. The faster the recovery, the better! And with infinite flask sustain at our disposal, there’s no reason to hold back!

An Explanation Of Gearing And POB Configuration

The preferred weapon choice for this build is the short bow series.

Flat damage does not significantly enhance the effectiveness of this build. Instead, prioritize attributes like attack speed, gem levels, increased chaos damage, and damage over time multiplier mods when selecting your weapon. The same principles apply to the Quiver, although gem levels are not applicable in that slot.

While unique items are entirely optional, they are easily obtainable at a low cost. Personally, I favor Carcass Jack due to its ability to enhance Toxic Rain’s damage through the stacking of overlapping pods. A 35% increased area of effect is sufficient to achieve this stacking effect. Thus, I’ve set a minimum requirement of 4 overlapping pods in the configuration settings, as this serves as a significant damage multiplier for Toxic Rain. If someone suggests a different value without accounting for adequate area of effect, skill effect duration, and attack speed, it’s crucial to reassess their reasoning.

Managing the mana cost of skills is another important consideration. Access to non-channeling mods is limited until you acquire several veiled rings from the Syndicate or the Ritual . Therefore, ensure you have sufficient mana reservation efficiency from the passive tree to accommodate a level 10 Clarity alongside Grace and Determination. Since leeching isn’t viable with this build initially, consider using an Enduring Mana Flask or sacrificing Determination for a higher level Clarity gem until you’ve obtained enough mana through leveling. Additionally, reservation efficiency and reduced mana cost of skills can be obtained from rare crimson jewels.

As you progress your character to endgame, these issues can be resolved entirely. Now, let’s address the question of how to obtain 15 stacks of withered debuff.

With this build, acquiring 15 stacks of withered debuff is relatively straightforward, thanks to multiple available sources. Withering Step provides a quick method to accumulate 15 stacks, although its effect dissipates rapidly. However, the primary sources are from our ascendancy point, supplemented by 5 Ballista Totems with Withering Touch support. If you’re utilizing Toxic Rain or Withering Totems, additional sources are unnecessary.

Temporary buffs like Elusive from Withering Step , Onslaught from our silver flask, and Alchemist’s Genius from Spiked Concoction in our medium cluster jewel further enhance our capabilities.

Leveling this build is remarkably straightforward and effortless.

Caustic Arrow proves to be incredibly potent during the early acts. Once obtained, be sure to integrate Toxic Rain with Ballista Totem Support into your skill repertoire. During these initial stages, you can compensate for any lack of a bow with gem levels or damage over time mods by incorporating some additional flat damage.

As your single-target damage begins to diminish, consider transitioning Caustic Arrow to Toxic Rain as your primary skill while retaining Toxic Rain with Ballista Totem Support. If you manage to acquire Toxic Rain of Withering, it synergies exceptionally well with Ballista Totem Support.

For those not playing in hardcore mode, prioritize acquiring damage nodes initially. While Toxic Rain benefits significantly from skill effect duration, excessive investment in this attribute can hinder the build’s performance.

It’s crucial to strike a balance, ensuring there’s enough skill effect duration to overlap multiple pods simultaneously without excessively delaying your attacks.

Wandering Path

This article describes historical game content .

Wandering Path was an atlas passive skill and Atlas keystone .

Disables the effects of all notable skills, but doubles the effect of all small passive skills (including travel nodes). The most popular use of this keystone is to stack Adjacent Map Drop Chance, Map Drop Duplication, Item Quantity, and Map Modifier Effect nodes in early mapping to fill out Atlas completion and to boss rush maps with Exarch or Eater influence to farm Invitations. Players can also stack chance to get Master Missions upon map completion, item rarity for map bosses, and Eater/Exarch pack size for Eldritch currency farming, making it incredibly strong for SSF .

Ruthless mode

In Ruthless mode , instead of granting increased effect to small nodes, it grants 20 Atlas passive skill points.

Affliction Magic Find

Last Updated: December 28th 2023

Share on Social

Warning: This guide assumes you have a very powerful build, and know how to farm Delirium Mirror , Affliction and Eldritch Altars read our linked guides to learn.

The Burial Chambers/Jungle Valley Magic Find Strategy utilizes the Affliction mechanic to empower monsters spawned by Abysses, Beyond and Strongboxes in order drop as much Currency, Uniques and Divination Cards as possible. This is an endgame farming strategy intended for powerful and Magic Find builds to generate large amounts of currency.

• Delirium Mirror Spawns and empowers monsters and provides a global Quantity bonus.
• Strongboxes Spawns large groups of monsters which have a large Quantity and Rarity multiplier applied to them.
• Abyss Spawns a massive amount of Rare monsters with high base Quantity and Rarity multipliers

Requirements

• Affliction requires a Magic Find build that is able to complete some of the hardest map mechanics under the influence of Affliction empowerment ( Damage reduction , Speed , Critical Strike Chance and Additional Projectiles ).

PRO TIP: When setting up to run the Affliction Magic Find strategy it is recommended you purchase enough materials to complete a sizeable set of maps. Failing to do so makes selling drops more difficult and you'll constantly be trading to purchase additional materials instead of mapping.

Map Choice & Favorites

• Tier 16 Burial Chambers Map Synergizes well with Abyss and Strongboxes. This map has a chance to drop both The Fortunate and The Doctor Divination Cards.
• Tier 16 Jungle Valley Map Synergizes well with Abyss and Strongboxes and has a chance to drop The Fortunate Divination Card. Additionally it cannot spawn boss reward Eldritch Altars and has a higher base monster count than Burial Chambers.
• Favorites - Allocate 1 of your favorites to a map adjacent to Burial Chambers or Jungle Valley on the atlas which you plan to run or can sell. Use the rest of your favorite map slots on the map you intend to run e.g. (11 Burial Chambers/Jungle Valley, 1 Adjacent Map).
• Eldritch Influence: Eater of Worlds
• Kirac: Abyss - Area contains an additional abyss

Apply the Mandatory compasses to your Voidstones. Purchase compasses in bulk fast using the TFT community trade discord or poestack.com.

• Slaying Enemies close together can attract monsters from Beyond this realm
• Your Maps contain 2 additional Strongboxes
• Strongbox Monsters are Enraged
• Your Maps contain a Mirror of Delirium

Select a fragment set-up based on your desired investment level run it on every map. Higher levels of investment yield higher reward variance. This means you are more susceptible to "dry streaks" and should only go for them once you already have a larger currency base or if you're playing in a group.

There are only 2 types of maps you should ever consider running for this strategy. 8 Modifier corrupted maps or hand rolled maps with the following modifier: Monsters fire 2 additional projectiles . You can purchase 8 modifier maps in bulk from TFT, and provide a Regex to specify you are looking for this modifier. Make sure to include any modifier you cannot run in this Regex too! You can make your own regex using this website .

Atlas Passive Tree

• Note: This Affliction Magic Find atlas passive tree allocates The Seventh Gate which allows you to gain access to all league map crafting options when six gateways are allocated.

Passive Overview

Eldritch Altars provide large bonus to Quantity and Rarity, Currency and Divination Card Duplication chance and spawns a large number of monsters which can be empowered by Affliction.

Delirium Mirror Unending Nightmare allows the Delirium Mirror to behave much like orbs of Delirium and provide the additional Quantity bonus. This removes the end of encounter rewards.

Abyss spawns an absurd amount of monsters to which all have a chance to be empowered by Affliction and drop Currency, Divination cards and Uniques. You must be careful not to instantly kill Stygian Spires as they spawn monsters in waves; modifiers to additional projectiles in your maps multiplies the amount of additional Abysses spawned by the Spires resulting in a massive concentration of Rare monster spawns resulting in a huge loot explosion.

Strongboxes spawn large groups of monsters that have 500% increased Quantity and Rarity bonuses thanks to the Strongbox Monsters are Enraged . These monsters have a high chance to drop Divination Cards.

Beyond kill large packs of monsters so spawn portals which attract monsters from beyond. These monsters are empowered by the Affliction mechanic and provide more fodder for potential Currency, Divination Cards and Unique drops.

Harbinger & Ritual has a chance to spawn in your maps and provide more monsters to kill for loot!

Wandering Path With this keystone active your notable Atlas Passive Skills have no effect, however small Atlas Passive Skills effects are doubled. This makes maps have a huge amount of Packsize and Quantity, but also heightens the difficulty of map modifiers.

7th Gate With this keystone active and all Atlas Passive Gateways allocated you can access any league mechanic Kirac modifier regardless of league restrictions.

Rolling Maps

PRO TIP: Most of the rewards from an Affliction focused Magic Find Atlas scale with Quantity and Packsize, therefore you must look to roll your maps with as much of both of those stats as possible! 8 Modifier maps can be purchased on TFT in bulk. Additionally the Monsters fire 2 additional projectiles modifier makes Abyssal Spires spawn a massive amount of monsters making it the most attractive modifier to look for when rolling. You should try and prioritise this modifier over 8 modifier maps.

1. Clean Your Maps - Ensure all of your maps are identified and then use an Orb of Scouring to make them all normal rarity, since achieving 20% quality on white maps requires significantly less Cartographer's Chisels .

2. Chiseling - Use Cartographer's Chisels on all of your maps until each one is 20% quality.

3. Alchemy - Use Orbs of Alchemy on every map you have at 20% quality. Roll your maps for the modifier: Monsters fire 2 additional projectiles with Orb of Scouring and Orb of Alchemy , make sure to re-roll any maps which have modifiers that your character can't run.

Running Maps

PRO TIP: You need to have a very specialised filter for running these kinds of maps as there is a massive amount of loot which you might not necessarily want to pick up as it will drastically decrease your efficiency and expend precious portals.

Follow these steps to complete the maps efficiently.

Step 1 - Ensure your Tier 16 Jungle Valley/Burial Chambers map is correctly rolled, your chosen fragment set-up is in the device and your compasses are applied.

Step 2 - Enter the map and enter the Viridian Wildwood area to collect as many wisps as possible. Make sure to refer to the Affliction farming guide to know more about how to min-max this step!

Step 3 - Click as many Quantity/Rarity and Divination/Unique/Currency duplication Eldritch Altars

Step 4 - Step on Abysses and follow them until they become Abyssal Spires. Be careful not to kill them too quickly as they spawn additional monsters at health % intervals.

Step 5 - Clear through the map and interact with every mechanic you come across while looting all the items they drop.
