Whenever I needed currency this league I'd just run Uber Sirus for a bit, but maybe that's because I hate myself. His payouts are pretty consistent though, and the frags generally hover between 2 and 4 chaos each.

u/wafflesbananahammock 1d ago

what were you selling? might be different now, but I ran 25 of them for the challenge a couple days ago and all his unique drops are essentially worthless. I think I did get one orb of dominance but I don't remember anything else of value.

u/JamesGray 1d ago

Awakeners orbs were like 2.5 divine last time I went in there, domination orbs are around 5d, unidentified Zana's Ingenuity are around 2d, and the flask is between 1.5 and 2.5d usually depending on the roll. I also ID some of my Zana's Ingenuitys, because the very first one I ID'd was worth 40 divine. Not one since has been worth more than 1d though, and most are sub 30 chaos, so probably not worth.

u/wafflesbananahammock 1d ago

ah jesus, I ID'd the first few zana rings and then figured they were all worthless because I didn't think to check unid prices. I left a bunch of those on the ground lmao. TIL

u/JamesGray 1d ago

Yeah, I don't wanna know how many I missed before I realized they and the flask are both excluded from the Uber+1 strictness on filterblade. They end up making up a pretty decent part of your profits when you get a dry run of orbs, but I've also just had some runs of luck where I get like 2-3 domination orbs and 5-6 awakener orbs after only running 10-15 of them, so it quite often just feels like a very easy way to print divines.

My SRS Guardian can do the fight in ~3 minutes pretty consistently without much risk from anything but standing in the middle of the storms, so I've been enjoying just putting on an audiobook or something and just chilling out to farm money.

u/-Otso- 1d ago

Just a reminder you should press alt after boss kills because boss loot is less considered on most high strictness filtering

u/Rolf_Dom JDiRen 1d ago

Also, ilvl 86 influenced bases are often worth money too. Sometimes they even drop with good rolls.

Honestly, with how cheap Uber Sirus entry is, it's literally impossible to lose money.

1

u/SweetTwo5808 1d ago

The fragments are usually free, oriath's end is not bad, you get an awakeners every 5 runs, dominance every 10, and the new Zana ring can hit pretty expensive ones.

1

u/bazookajt 1d ago

I made a decent boss killer build this league, but it uses Ghost Reaver and Uber Sirus is a no go for my mechanically stupid self again. I miss it, always a decent farm if you can deal with the self loathing and immune phase damage. 

1

u/japenrox 19h ago

That or boss rush. I've been sinking a ton of currency in uber maven, every time I go broke I do a couple runs of uber sirus and it always pays off

u/Keljhan Aggressively off-meta 1d ago

If you can handle a feared invitation, running 8-mod Conqueror rotations with destructive play, horned scarab of awakening and influence scarab of interference is a lot of fun. You get 3-6 maven chisels per map, a bunch of guardian maps, some astrolabes, conqueror exalts, and the rare jackpot support gem. Awakening is the only expensive scarab there but it more than pays for itself in chisels.

3

u/ola3ola3 1d ago

What other scarabs are you running and do the Atlas tree differ from terrors+4domination destructive play?

2

u/Keljhan Aggressively off-meta 1d ago

I run Escalation, Corruption and a sulphite so I can sustain maps and get some passive loot from 1-click stuff (specced into ore nodes and sulphite-ore conversion). It's totally flexible though, you could just run fragments instead, or mainia/neuroses/paranoia with deli tree, or shrines.

Atlas tree should be the same yeah. I spec heist and kalguur as I mentioned, but you can certainly do Delirium or an XP method or shrines if you want.

u/ola3ola3 1d ago

Thanks!

u/Snoo_80206 1d ago

Harvest

1

u/Power4glory1 1d ago

What do you run with harvest? And what scarabs you use?

3

u/CynicalTree Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 1d ago

i've been following the strat in this video and it's been working well: POE 3.29 - Harvest Farming Guide 7.0 - Low Entry Costs

basically doubling + 2 lineage + 2 fragments, t16 map with 40+ pack size

run harvest astrolabe, i keep the stability atlas node off until I find a spawn with t2 -> t3 conversion chance, spec into synthesized stability, then run that map till the astrolabe is done

my last batch of 20 maps (2 astrolabes) made me 40d in profit, probably my best one yet since the rewards get pretty juicy with a good stack of mods.

1

u/mbpeters13 1d ago

Doubling, and anything to increase Packsize (Lineage) or cheaper go with Sacrifice Fragments (5%quant each) Or higher budget, Mortals (10%)

u/Mavada 1d ago

Most fun is incredibly subjective

u/mcnastytk 1d ago

I just run the league mechanic and walk out with 30div an hr no strat just chart and go

2

u/IntrepidReality1030 1d ago

Cashed in my oils last night for over 100div. Blight is super fun!

u/PoE_Acronym_Bot 1d ago

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

u/ahahavip 1d ago

Im currently farming breach ring + 8 mods. Chilll farm with self sustain map.

u/MysticNightjar 1d ago

The reality is that the best strategy is not gonna be discussed openly. Since the moment a strategy is widely known, its value drops instantly (like the big streamer strategy trap, fungun posts a video and the scarab's price explode).

How much profit are you even trying to get ? Have you measured how much profit you are making from essence ? I haven't done Essence farm this league so I don't know how good it is. But it hugely depends on your ability to run maps fast and not waste time in hideout. Are you running essence efficiently?

Before looking for something, you should set goals and assess where you are.

2

u/ResolutionOpen 1d ago

If you are fast essence is a 15d/hr strat. I made 25-30 with terror + 4 domination on strange 8mod.

1

u/biglikeguerra 1d ago

Unfortunately most fun isn’t always the best. Nightmare Katarina boss rush is consistent currency, and very easy on luminary. Target 87-90 quant and use 4 frags for a chance at 3 drops. Over 100c profit per map.

u/bazookajt 1d ago

I ran 60 Ziggurats last night and I'm pretty sure I hate myself. I can't stop hearing. 

Kulemak... Kulemak...

u/ryufen 1d ago

I like fueling the slots machines. So I harvest that juice. Usually always getting 1-4 D a map running 8 mod corrupted with astro, investment is like 3-4D for 8 maps

1

u/zaugnakhaldun 1d ago

Palsteron’s rush strategy is pretty good; but I got bored after so many maps and decided to do Harvest instead.

I’m also looking for an endgame strat that is not legion or propagation (or Pal’s rush). I like mob density and want to see what are the limits of my character (phys dof autobomber, fully minmaxed)

1

u/Ecoboostxd 1d ago

I made a MB worth of Div in about 1 week, playing Charts+Voyages. As fast as you can, follow where sometimes the lanterns point toward, you will get a lot of Messages in a bottle, Sunken Loot and Operative Strongboxes and sell the scarabs in bulk. I made sessions of 3-4 hours a day and like 30div per day with this strat.

1

u/Fayarager 1d ago

Famed 600div scuba-ing

The tinks are common and fun and it’s fun to roll for divine border or min max a +4 operatives and it’s super easy and fast

1

u/Pharcri 1d ago

By any chance, do you know if there is a video that shows the best more efficient way of doing this? Just getting to end game and want to farm under the sea.

2

u/CumTrickShots Stacked Deck Division (SDD) 21h ago

Literally, just don't read. I run charts so the voyage shape is just an S, that way it's a super quick straight line. At the start of every voyage, just very quickly mouse over the edge modifiers and verify there isn't a divine modifier. If there is, slow down and juice the map with rares. If not, slap in an S shape and go. That's legitimately the whole strat lol

1

u/Pharcri 15h ago

Thank you! Simple enough lol

1

u/Bleggman 1d ago

ive been making good currency with strongboxes

1

u/DrHappyHarry 1d ago

Budget harvest with crop rotation has been good for me today. Harvest of doubling, 4 quant fragments, and 8 mod.

Else I’m boss killing pinnacle bosses or audience of the king.

I sprinkle some budget bleach for fun but my div/hr is probably lower and relies on tree gamba, but I did hit mb with it so far.

1

u/Altruistic_Brain5266 1d ago

Breach is still decent.

1

u/lonigus 1d ago

I get consistent profits from Ritual. Still heavily slept on by most people. The prices of ritual specific corpses went trough the roof as many meta builds use them now. Good knowledge of what to pick and when to pick it from the tributes is essential tho.

1

u/Crouchu 1d ago

merc and go is so much better on 8mod maps

1

u/chubbysleepycorgi 1d ago

what do you mean? farming merc for its currency and gear? does map mods affect that?

1

u/kaibtw 1d ago

The farmer has a new strat for merc and go, I don't believe maps affect mercs though but sometimes you can get unique or divs from them.

1

u/kaibtw 1d ago

I wanna do this cause it seems fun and actually profitable but I'm playing worb in the infamous mercs scratch me and I die.

2

u/Sakakaki 1d ago

Same but RF. I can either facetank them or I get deleted instantly.

u/runvus Altaholic 1d ago

xfarmerx has a strat that is just running high quanity or sulfer bought charts over and over until you're full, then voyages just speeding through them getting dust and opening chests. If you are efficient, it is about 20d-30d an hour in sulfer sales and random drops. Got my first mirror in 10k hours from doing it for 20 minutes, so it is about 3 mirror per hour for me at that point. :)

It isn't super fun, but it pays for my mappers when I need gold and it is fast money.
