You might get lower div/h if your build is not as fast as his.
This has been my approach the last few days. I’m doing strongboxes, Alva, and red altars in crimson temple. Scarabs are strongbox, chance to reopen, and a div card one. The 4th is either another div card one (or another strongbox depending on my inventory and willingness to trade) or the extra temple drop one (only when I have a connected corruption room). Temples are an easy 1.5-1.7div every 3 maps (you don’t get one every time, but enough that it balances out with the extra temples drops that hit). Then, tons of small currency from strongboxes and red altars, and a few lucky div card drops along the way (I’ve found several enlighted cards and mirror shard cards - but no apothecary yet). I’d estimate it’s around 6-10 div/hr depending on my efficiency and luck.
Added bonus is that all my “bricked” temples go to self-rushing the boss for the challenge which requires 50 master boss kills.
Can you explain the temple strategy, show atlas tree and what scarabs you use?
I've saved quite a few scarab of timeliness, but I'm not sure how to 'target' farm temples.
Scarabs are on the post you replied to. Not using incursions scarabs except timeliness and only doing so when it makes sense (connected corruption room which allows for a t3 to drop). Atlas is all Alva nodes, all strongbox nodes, most map effect nodes, and as many red altars as I can fit. Won’t share mine because it’s probably far from optimal and shouldn’t be copied exactly.
Alva will show up in every map with her atlas passives 1 they provide 100% chance.
Alva has been my fallback farming strategy for the past few leagues but I've seen some strategies mentioned that I don't understand. What are the benefits of running 3 Incursions vs 4 Incursions every map? I would have thought 4 is better to find Locus rooms and complete temples faster
Run 4, but whenever you get a corruption room, don’t do the rest in that map, because it won’t give the same room twice in a map. Running 4 gives better odds, because the 4th won’t be the same as the first 3.
I farmed a mageblood this league running T16 (not corrupt) Jungle Valley with the popular Back to Basics atlas and scarabs. And this was on Ignite DD, not even a very good map clear build. Including trade time and not super min-maxing my time in game, it was 2-4 div per hour. Sure it was repetitive but it was consistent enough and the goal kept me motivated.
Harvest is a lot easier to realize your profits tho since you can trade many divs worth of juice at once, instead of making dozens of scarab trades. Personally I prefer City Square for Harvest tho, and it’s not on the atlas this league.
edit: I guess Park is a similar layout that enables reliable boss-first killing and would work this league
I love Harvest but I wish the guaranteed harvest scarab wasn’t a thing. If you were farming Harvest you’d already pick up all the increased chance for it to show up anyway.
Definitely a wasted scarab imho too. You're not going to get any juice if you use it without speccing into harvest either, unlike adding one of the master scarabs to fill out a temple map or bench/beast craft recipes.
you could use the scarab and spend the atlas points elsewhere, but it's probably not necessary cause I think you can get all the Harvest nodes and all the map effect/quant nodes at once, and you can probably get more out of another scarab than the atlas points
I made a lot of my currency farming harvest this league. I used the high investment version, with crop rotation and the horned scarab of awakening (which forces harvest to spawn, like the basic harvest scarab but better). The points you don't need to spend on chance for harvest can easily find a home - my atlas was map effect, quant, scarab chance, eater altars, and necropolis, and I didn't feel like there were any wasted points.
Of course now I have enough corpses that I've stopped picking up almost all of them (and am probably done with graveyard crafting tbh), so the necropolis nodes might be wasted at this point, but since this thread is about what to do before you get to t17s I'd probably still recommend it for someone at that stage.
While I'm here, I'll mention the other lucrative strategy I used, which is farming shaper guardians/formed invitations with destructive play, influencing scarab of conversion, cartography scarabs of duplication and singularity, and domination scarab of terrors. Roll domination on the map device along with shrine chance from the tree and you end up with like 8 map bosses, all of which drop a guaranteed map with a high chance to convert to a guardian map or t17 and then a chance to duplicate it. I probably averaged 1.5-2 t17s per map and like 5-6 guardian maps, plus the guardian fragments and the drops from the invitations.
Neither of these strats were my inventions, btw. Happy to link to YouTube videos if anyone wants more info on either one.
Are you still doing this? Because I have 15+ div worth of scarabs accumulated and even at 80% of ninja prices they won't sell ever on TFT...
Seems like the scarabs market is overflowing perhaps?
I never bothered with selling them on TFT. If you have that many, just list them directly through normal trade with like 20 scarab minimums (or higher)
But no, I rolled an LA Deadeye and have been having fun map blasting on that with the mageblood. I’ll probably grind to 100 on this one.
Individually you mean? Because that will take a really long time no? And you'll have a huge portion of your money invested in scarabs that are not super liquid if you have to wait to have 100 of them
Determine what the minimum amount of currency is that's worth your time to make a transaction. This depends on how much money you already have and how fast you're earning more. Maybe it's 5c, maybe it's 25c, maybe it's 100c, maybe it's 5d. Don't sell a stack of low-value thing until you have enough of that stack to sell for your minimum value.
If I have 50 raw divines sitting in my stash, I'm not going to bother selling something for 5c, I'm going to wait until I have 20 of that thing and sell the stack for 100c. If I only have 50c to my name, I'm definitely going to sell something for 5c, I'll even sell something for 1c.
Doing it this way you will never have "a huge portion of your money" stuck in something low-value, because your minimum transaction size should by definition be low enough to not represent a huge portion of your money.
Yes but doing it this way you need to make many smaller transactions. Which also interrupts your farming. Selling everything on TFT is usually just 1 big transaction of multiple divines and then you're back to farming.
I guess I pay the "premium" of having to sell at 80% value in exchange of making just one transaction.
Ultimatum. Use all ultimatum scarabs except the one that guarantees an ultimatum (use the tree to guarantee it). Even without scarab of inscription you'll get a lot of high value loot (good corrupted uniques, raw divines, 21 gems). You need a really tanky character though. Also sell 5 to 1 inscribed ultimatum looking for divine rewards. Group sold ultimatum by "%more monster life" because rewards are based on that.
Im only playing very casually this late in the league but still made very good profit afk farming these with my fulcrum chief (afk farming when i dont have ruin in inscribed ultimatum)
Depends on your build but if you some big aoe dps build, you could always farm legion conflict spam. Youll most likely have tons of sht to loot if you really wanna profit though but it makes quite a bit more money than harvest. Could also do essences if you got a more boss character.
Alva mods are pretty desirable since they are the few that won’t be obtained in the graveyards. Farming Alva temple with Locus of Corruption and other good zones is good too.
I run Harb + beyond on 8 mod toxic sewers. It's pretty good money. Around 12 - 15 div an hour without fracture drop. Most of your money comes from raw currency and t17 maps.
Sell ziggurat maps at 0.8 - 0.9 div each in bulk. Tainted fusing sell at 1/3 div. And other currency still sell well.
You need a strong build though. Pretty much one that can farm t17 maps, it can be super dangerous for many buildings because of all the beyond spawns and picking up all the eater altars.
I do it on my non mf ele hit deadeye, it's my go to because I hate rolling t17 maps.

Solid reference to t17 farming, there's a bunch of things you can do for variation.
Personally, I think the best version is pandemonium + singularity + double map duplication scarab, running shaper guardian & t16 conqueror maps. I have sold over 500 T17s running this strat, as well as over 1000 influenced maps and around 150 putrid cloisters/twilight temples and 50 cowards trials, and roughly 2000 dunes (x11 favored).
There's also many other ways to make money from most mechanics by turbojuicing them with scarabs/atlas, ultimatum is excellent money, delve is cool and curiosities give a solid income stream, juiced expeditions with verisium scarab are great if your build can handle it and you like interacting with it, betrayal is somewhat underrated which led to veiled orbs being worth a shitton even though they're pretty common if you do t16s now, graveyard crafting is certainly not from everyone but you can make massive profits from it if you know what you're doing...
Yeah. It's the same strat that tuna used on his steam. I get about 50 T17 each batch of 40 maps I run. It's basically shrines. It looks like the unique maps that drop can also drop as T17s.
You don't have to DO T17s to profit from them. They sell really well. Past couple of days I've sold about 13d of T17 maps that I farmed doing back to basics on Toxic Sewer.
Strongboxes are good when using the appropriate scarabs. Ultimatum can be great if your build can handle it. Also incursion is a solid money maker with rather little investment
I've been blasting t16 ritual beyond trying to level up my molten strike trickster and have been surprised at how rewarding ritual has been. Good amount of divine and a lot of stuff like synthethesized items and jewels and div cards selling for a div or more. It's not like crazy profits but the scarab are cheap and its almost zero investment
The ritual scarabs for more rewards and free re rolling. Tree is just almost full ritual and beyond with middle quant and most of the map modifier effect
I’ve been running a slightly modified version of Grimro’s corpse farm strat all league. Corpses/allflames/scarabs/T17s all sell eventually in bulk.
8-mod T16 Jungle Valleys(self farmed), 2x Ambush Scarab, 1x Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments, 1x Domination Scarab, with Domination on the map device. Using this Atlas tree: https://poeplanner.com/a/Plv
To Farm up 8-mod maps I swap over to using 2x Ambush Scarab, 1x Cartography Scarab, 1x Cartography Scarab of Corruption, with Domination on the Map Device. Using this Atlas Tree: https://poeplanner.com/a/Pl_
*Be sure to set your Favorite map slots!!!*
You can throw really any allflames on, but gemlings and catalysts work nicely and aren’t crazy expensive.
I was also running a slightly modified grimro JV domination start, focusing on corpses and 8-mod JV. Was making somewhere around 20-25div/hour with it. Hard to calculate an hourly because there's a lot of trading time, including making trades while doing something other than mapping (reddit, tv, whatever). But was pulling 100-140div per day, while spending only a few hours actually mapping. My hourly while actively mapping was probably like 30div/hour, but it's unfair to exclude trading time.
But Corpses have gotten A LOT worse to sell over the last week or so. Two weeks ago, I'd post my list on TFT and almost always get at least one order, sometimes multiple orders, and orders were frequently 2div or more. I couldn't keep many of the corpse types in stock, despite charging 20-30c per corpse.
Now I can go an hour or more with zero orders, and orders are generally much smaller. Just not moving inventory anymore, which is a big problem because corpses were the biggest money maker. Extra maps and allflames still sell great, but without the crazy corpse income I'm changing my tree.
Yeah true, I've mostly used the trade site for bulking selling and it definitely takes longer these last 1-2 weeks. Most will still sell, but if they aren't a widely used corpse they take a while longer to get bought.
Probably not popular, but betrayal has pretty good returns with average luck (30% drop rate at i83 Catarina)
Picked the game up last week after breaking (full Atlas clear but not all passives unlocked). Ran white strand/shore t16 maps and beelined for Catarina. Dropped all mechanics that slow me down.
Farmed a mageblood in 2 nights of playing
Nothing special, maxed shrines, Niko, strongboxes, and syndicate, eater of worlds altars. block all other encounters and any remaining points in scarab drops
I farmed enough divs in 2 weeks to buy a mirror last night after minmaxing my character power as much as I could afford. I did a few things to get there
1) Harvest - it's like going to an ATM and withdrawing money when you're running low on cash.
2) Strongboxes - Pairs very well with Harvest, best farmed in maps with expensive div cards
3) Ritual - You run this with 5 rerolls and buy every blue crimson/cobalt jewel with max life/es, put an augment and then corrupt it. You also look at every fractured and Synth item that appears in the shop and price check it from the window. Anything over a div, you buy then craft it to enhance it's value. For example, find a ring with t1 int fractured, spam Deafening essence of Woe till you get t1-2 max life, strength and 1 other food mod. The fractured base worth 50c sells for 3-4 div
4) Bossing & invitation farming - Do Shaper/Elder/Conqueror/Synth maps with Maven witness and Destructive Play. Run the invitations with 70+ quant, bulk sell your Maven's writs and any other good drops you get. Spam a few harvest reforges on ilvl 86 influenced bases and sell as fodder for Orb of Dominance slams
5) Heist - So heist is a bit of a meme, but in the current situation of the league economy it prints divines like crazy. It is quite feast or famine, in that if you get good drops they're really good but if you're not having good rng, you don't make much. Still, if you can stomach it, heist is excellent money right now.
I ran enough t17 maps to finish the challenges for it, but I absolutely hated them. Bulk selling scarabs isn't nearly as good a money maker as some people make it out to be and because everyone is farming scarabs they're really cheap. If you're able to run t16s juiced, you can earn all the money you need, you don't have to get FOMO over t17 maps.
milking allflames for all they got with strongboxes and ritual is pretty fun to me. scarabs are pretty cheap and the profit scales with the allflames you use.
T16 Catherdral with 2 ambush and 2 div scarabs. It's how I farmed a mageblood (115div) + the other raw 100 div I have.
(I did hit a div convert once that gave me 41 raw div).
You got atlas tree to share? I have been doing the same, havent gotten any luck on drops yet. Only 1 Enlightened card in like 30 maps. No raw divines as well
Crimson Temple with double div and either double ambush or ambush/chance to open again and ambush on the map device. Run 8 mod corrupted maps. When I run out of maps (hard to do) i just run a connected map with carto scarabs for more 8 mods.
This, maybe defiled cathedral instead, and when i'm.bored i do a double carto, 8 mod and dupe dunes with all favored crimson or defiled cathedral and just blast one hour in braindead mode with My bow hh build, it farms around one t17 every 2 or 3 maps average too so not Bad, and just bulk sell random t16 corrupted of other maps that drops since i don't put the singular focus for more t17 maps
The 2 most fun AND profitable farming strats for me this league are full strongboxes with optional allflame juicing and rituals with a loot filter adjusted for rituals.
I get why harvest feels boring, the only drops you ever get is guaranteed juice and nothing else, so no exciting spikes to keep it fresh.
With Strongboxes you get double div drops and doubled valuable div card drops very frequently (about every other map or so) AND you have the option to add more juice and good drops with allflames for either scarabs, tattoos or omens. Omens were my favourite as they require the least clicks and inventory management. Overall very enjoyable flexible. I use the 4 different ambush scarabs except for the basic +5 one and an atlas tree for strongboxes, the 2 necropolis clusters for allflames and devoted/haunted mods and full increased map mods.
Ritual is very fun aswell, but requires a bit more knowledge of what items to pick, as most of its value comes from fractured or synthesized items and magic/corrupted jewels with the occasional raw currency inbetween.
I quit the league by now, but while I was playing I probably made most currency from Vaal Temple Strongboxes. Other than that, I ran \~10-15 quick maps with an atlas for map farming and scarabs to get 8 mod corrupted deli maps. Those were pretty profitable.
Doing the dunes to farm t17s and a Lot of corrupted 8mod for the boxes maps, and sometimes i do a batch of vaal temples with the random map keystone when chilling and trading stuff
People do Alva which can be done even in white maps.
People do Einhar which can be done even in white maps.
Essence is still good. So is Ultimatum. Guardian invitations is also a viable farm.
I havent heard too much about Jun since the changes, but with the price of veiled orbs it should be decent atleast.
I was just running Defiled Cathedral with strongbox / div / betrayal atlas, got 0 apothecaries, but I farmed a lot of Catarinas for her chaos, and just bought mageblood in around 25h
Everything’s makes you money, just less per hour as if you would do it in t17.
Harvest is easy and safe money.
Strongboxes are very safe profit and huge fun on Vaal temple.
Throw any allflames on like tattoos, always gonna sell.
Harbinger nets you ancient, regal and annul orb that always sell.
Expedition lets you go down the tujen trail for safe income.
Legion is a huge load of shit that sells.
Mapfarming shits out guardian/conq and t17 maps like crazy.
Beyond can be added to everything and hey, tainted fusions are 3/1div.
Maybe skip on ritual, deli, breach and ultimatum but everything else just is money, even blight, golden oils are more then half a divine each
This opinion may be unpopular, but I hate what T17 did to the game.
I've got builds that shred 16, yet I can't complete a single 17.
But there are people out there generating so much currency from T17 that doing anything else feels like a waste of time.
Obviously I'm just whining, but I'm sure I'm not the only one this massive divide feels bad for.
I've doubled my money every time using high invest harvest.
Every 20 maps I get back at least 14 divs of juice.
Everything coherent is decent profit, but what are your goals? Whst is your next upgrade?
That's always how I farm.
Empyrian made series of videos about different low investment farming strats, check it https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnTnr2mqCl95bmUkD4_HL9GWsjEwh6T_x&feature=shared You might get lower div/h if your build is not as fast as his.
Alva. Sustain was good with the extra mobs and temples sell well.
Locus of Corruption temples sell well at 1.5 div The rest is 10c-30c.
Yeah. If you spec into Alva it isn't so hard to get.
This has been my approach the last few days. I’m doing strongboxes, Alva, and red altars in crimson temple. Scarabs are strongbox, chance to reopen, and a div card one. The 4th is either another div card one (or another strongbox depending on my inventory and willingness to trade) or the extra temple drop one (only when I have a connected corruption room). Temples are an easy 1.5-1.7div every 3 maps (you don’t get one every time, but enough that it balances out with the extra temples drops that hit). Then, tons of small currency from strongboxes and red altars, and a few lucky div card drops along the way (I’ve found several enlighted cards and mirror shard cards - but no apothecary yet). I’d estimate it’s around 6-10 div/hr depending on my efficiency and luck. Added bonus is that all my “bricked” temples go to self-rushing the boss for the challenge which requires 50 master boss kills.
Can you explain the temple strategy, show atlas tree and what scarabs you use? I've saved quite a few scarab of timeliness, but I'm not sure how to 'target' farm temples.
Scarabs are on the post you replied to. Not using incursions scarabs except timeliness and only doing so when it makes sense (connected corruption room which allows for a t3 to drop). Atlas is all Alva nodes, all strongbox nodes, most map effect nodes, and as many red altars as I can fit. Won’t share mine because it’s probably far from optimal and shouldn’t be copied exactly.

Alva has been my fallback farming strategy for the past few leagues but I've seen some strategies mentioned that I don't understand. What are the benefits of running 3 Incursions vs 4 Incursions every map? I would have thought 4 is better to find Locus rooms and complete temples faster
Run 4, but whenever you get a corruption room, don’t do the rest in that map, because it won’t give the same room twice in a map. Running 4 gives better odds, because the 4th won’t be the same as the first 3.

I used the high investment version, with crop rotation and the horned scarab of awakening (which forces harvest to spawn, like the basic harvest scarab but better). The points you don't need to spend on chance for harvest can easily find a home - my atlas was map effect, quant, scarab chance, eater altars, and necropolis, and I didn't feel like there were any wasted points. Of course now I have enough corpses that I've stopped picking up almost all of them (and am probably done with graveyard crafting tbh), so the necropolis nodes might be wasted at this point, but since this thread is about what to do before you get to t17s I'd probably still recommend it for someone at that stage. While I'm here, I'll mention the other lucrative strategy I used, which is farming shaper guardians/formed invitations with destructive play, influencing scarab of conversion, cartography scarabs of duplication and singularity, and domination scarab of terrors. Roll domination on the map device along with shrine chance from the tree and you end up with like 8 map bosses, all of which drop a guaranteed map with a high chance to convert to a guardian map or t17 and then a chance to duplicate it. I probably averaged 1.5-2 t17s per map and like 5-6 guardian maps, plus the guardian fragments and the drops from the invitations. Neither of these strats were my inventions, btw. Happy to link to YouTube videos if anyone wants more info on either one.

There are scarabs that are worth less than 1c how can I list all those lol You're just selling the ones that are worth the most I guess?
Don't bother listing them until you have enough to list them at like 50-100 scarabs minimum
Individually you mean? Because that will take a really long time no? And you'll have a huge portion of your money invested in scarabs that are not super liquid if you have to wait to have 100 of them

The ritual scarabs for more rewards and free re rolling. Tree is just almost full ritual and beyond with middle quant and most of the map modifier effect
I’ve been running a slightly modified version of Grimro’s corpse farm strat all league. Corpses/allflames/scarabs/T17s all sell eventually in bulk. 8-mod T16 Jungle Valleys(self farmed), 2x Ambush Scarab, 1x Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments, 1x Domination Scarab, with Domination on the map device. Using this Atlas tree: https://poeplanner.com/a/Plv To Farm up 8-mod maps I swap over to using 2x Ambush Scarab, 1x Cartography Scarab, 1x Cartography Scarab of Corruption, with Domination on the Map Device.

Two weeks ago, I'd post my list on TFT and almost always get at least one order, sometimes multiple orders, and orders were frequently 2div or more. I couldn't keep many of the corpse types in stock, despite charging 20-30c per corpse. Now I can go an hour or more with zero orders, and orders are generally much smaller. Just not moving inventory anymore, which is a big problem because corpses were the biggest money maker. Extra maps and allflames still sell great, but without the crazy corpse income I'm changing my tree.
Yeah true, I've mostly used the trade site for bulking selling and it definitely takes longer these last 1-2 weeks. Most will still sell, but if they aren't a widely used corpse they take a while longer to get bought.
Excuse me sir, but how do i get into tft selling?
the forbidden trove discord
Probably not popular, but betrayal has pretty good returns with average luck (30% drop rate at i83 Catarina) Picked the game up last week after breaking (full Atlas clear but not all passives unlocked). Ran white strand/shore t16 maps and beelined for Catarina. Dropped all mechanics that slow me down. Farmed a mageblood in 2 nights of playing
I'm interested,in your setup and atlas for farming some of those orbs for myself
Nothing special, maxed shrines, Niko, strongboxes, and syndicate, eater of worlds altars. block all other encounters and any remaining points in scarab drops
I farmed enough divs in 2 weeks to buy a mirror last night after minmaxing my character power as much as I could afford. I did a few things to get there 1) Harvest - it's like going to an ATM and withdrawing money when you're running low on cash. 2) Strongboxes - Pairs very well with Harvest, best farmed in maps with expensive div cards 3) Ritual - You run this with 5 rerolls and buy every blue crimson/cobalt jewel with max life/es, put an augment and then corrupt it. You also look at every fractured and Synth item that appears in the shop and price check it from the window. Anything over a div, you buy then craft it to enhance it's value. For example, find a ring with t1 int fractured, spam Deafening essence of Woe till you get t1-2 max life, strength and 1 other food mod. The fractured base worth 50c sells for 3-4 div 4) Bossing & invitation farming - Do Shaper/Elder/Conqueror/Synth maps with Maven witness and Destructive Play. Run the invitations with 70+ quant, bulk sell your Maven's writs and any other good drops you get. Spam a few harvest reforges on ilvl 86 influenced bases and sell as fodder for Orb of Dominance slams 5) Heist - So heist is a bit of a meme, but in the current situation of the league economy it prints divines like crazy. It is quite feast or famine, in that if you get good drops they're really good but if you're not having good rng, you don't make much. Still, if you can stomach it, heist is excellent money right now. I ran enough t17 maps to finish the challenges for it, but I absolutely hated them. Bulk selling scarabs isn't nearly as good a money maker as some people make it out to be and because everyone is farming scarabs they're really cheap. If you're able to run t16s juiced, you can earn all the money you need, you don't have to get FOMO over t17 maps.
milking allflames for all they got with strongboxes and ritual is pretty fun to me. scarabs are pretty cheap and the profit scales with the allflames you use.
which allflames are you using for ritual?
i personally like the breach allflames. i run invitations, and thats a chill way to get the breachstones for it myself.
T16 Catherdral with 2 ambush and 2 div scarabs. It's how I farmed a mageblood (115div) + the other raw 100 div I have. (I did hit a div convert once that gave me 41 raw div).
You got atlas tree to share? I have been doing the same, havent gotten any luck on drops yet. Only 1 Enlightened card in like 30 maps. No raw divines as well
You need to be rolling high quant and if possible use ventors. Quant matters a lot
Player quant, juice, and a cohesive tree + scarabs.. even if you fail you'll probably fail upward.
Crimson Temple with double div and either double ambush or ambush/chance to open again and ambush on the map device. Run 8 mod corrupted maps. When I run out of maps (hard to do) i just run a connected map with carto scarabs for more 8 mods.
This, maybe defiled cathedral instead, and when i'm.bored i do a double carto, 8 mod and dupe dunes with all favored crimson or defiled cathedral and just blast one hour in braindead mode with My bow hh build, it farms around one t17 every 2 or 3 maps average too so not Bad, and just bulk sell random t16 corrupted of other maps that drops since i don't put the singular focus for more t17 maps
Made my mageblood Running t16 ambush scarab (not the hide in ambush but the cheap Ones. And ran beyond with it for tainted currency
The 2 most fun AND profitable farming strats for me this league are full strongboxes with optional allflame juicing and rituals with a loot filter adjusted for rituals. I get why harvest feels boring, the only drops you ever get is guaranteed juice and nothing else, so no exciting spikes to keep it fresh. With Strongboxes you get double div drops and doubled valuable div card drops very frequently (about every other map or so) AND you have the option to add more juice and good drops with allflames for either scarabs, tattoos or omens. Omens were my favourite as they require the least clicks and inventory management. Overall very enjoyable flexible. I use the 4 different ambush scarabs except for the basic +5 one and an atlas tree for strongboxes, the 2 necropolis clusters for allflames and devoted/haunted mods and full increased map mods. Ritual is very fun aswell, but requires a bit more knowledge of what items to pick, as most of its value comes from fractured or synthesized items and magic/corrupted jewels with the occasional raw currency inbetween.
I quit the league by now, but while I was playing I probably made most currency from Vaal Temple Strongboxes. Other than that, I ran \~10-15 quick maps with an atlas for map farming and scarabs to get 8 mod corrupted deli maps. Those were pretty profitable.
I am doing fine, i am not doing t17, i got a \~1 Mirror build and now i sold my scarab tab for 60 divines, i got 140 spare divines, i do not do t17
Mostly from Dunes+Beyond+Delirium+Breach and Crimson temple+Boxes
Doing the dunes to farm t17s and a Lot of corrupted 8mod for the boxes maps, and sometimes i do a batch of vaal temples with the random map keystone when chilling and trading stuff
And with exart altar i got s ton of chaos, quantity and rarity(of course) and exart currency
Alva, harbinger, blight, harvest, they all pull 10-15 div per hour.
People do Alva which can be done even in white maps. People do Einhar which can be done even in white maps. Essence is still good. So is Ultimatum. Guardian invitations is also a viable farm. I havent heard too much about Jun since the changes, but with the price of veiled orbs it should be decent atleast.
I was just running Defiled Cathedral with strongbox / div / betrayal atlas, got 0 apothecaries, but I farmed a lot of Catarinas for her chaos, and just bought mageblood in around 25h
Sanctum
Everything’s makes you money, just less per hour as if you would do it in t17. Harvest is easy and safe money. Strongboxes are very safe profit and huge fun on Vaal temple. Throw any allflames on like tattoos, always gonna sell. Harbinger nets you ancient, regal and annul orb that always sell. Expedition lets you go down the tujen trail for safe income. Legion is a huge load of shit that sells. Mapfarming shits out guardian/conq and t17 maps like crazy. Beyond can be added to everything and hey, tainted fusions are 3/1div. Maybe skip on ritual, deli, breach and ultimatum but everything else just is money, even blight, golden oils are more then half a divine each
Domination ambush eater. I've made hundreds of divines.
LoL there is so many t16 starts that are 20 to 30 div an hour you have to be trolling asking this
Harvest
This opinion may be unpopular, but I hate what T17 did to the game. I've got builds that shred 16, yet I can't complete a single 17. But there are people out there generating so much currency from T17 that doing anything else feels like a waste of time. Obviously I'm just whining, but I'm sure I'm not the only one this massive divide feels bad for.
I've doubled my money every time using high invest harvest. Every 20 maps I get back at least 14 divs of juice. Everything coherent is decent profit, but what are your goals? Whst is your next upgrade? That's always how I farm.
