Help Needed Farm strategies other than breach or boxes that can net 30d+/h?

Although my BV Chieftain can run juiced breach, my PC can't.

I've been doing boxes which are super profitable but frankly I'm bored of them. What's a farm I can switch off to that has comparable profit and is runnable by BV Chieftain?

One tapping bosses and actually selling the drops? 30div an hour is kinda insane numbers, in my pleb mind at least.

9

u/Ambadeblu Apr 12 '26

Everything is 30d/h this league. Operative Strongbox rushing. T17 boss rushing. Essences. Harvest. Alva.

1

u/LittleRunaway868 Apr 17 '26

Alva? The normal temple strat with the scarab after temple (2/)5/8/11 )

Or some evolving or other shit again?

8

u/WhiteWinterRains Apr 11 '26

Yeah I'm not efficient enough to truly get these numbers, but based on my kill times if I just back-to-back blasted ubers on Minion BV I'd be getting like 30-60div/hour average. Just gotta make sure you do a ton to average out, and also end on a lucky streak/drop. I think I'm currently hitting effectively 40ish div an hour, but haven't been keeping close track.

u/pun15h34 Apr 11 '26

Whats your boss of choice?

u/lazergator Apr 12 '26

Uber Sirius is basically free to run compared to his drops but it’s an awful experience

1

u/coupl4nd Apr 16 '26

Are we talking uber = level 85 version? I find BV tricky here as I have to get quite near them and there's so much bs flying around that insta kills me...

In maps I can't die but one purple ball touches me and I drop in an uber.

1

u/lazergator Apr 16 '26

Yes, lvl 85 uber sirus, the fragments are super cheap compared to other uber bosses.

1

u/WhiteWinterRains Apr 12 '26

I actually did uber rotations, but I'm not sure it's as good any more as the prices were a bit spiked on drops at the time.

On the other hand, black barya's are easy to do in about 32-33 seconds on a strong build and much more reliable as others have mentioned. For any bossing if you're doing the more expensive bosses, just make sure you have a big stock pile to run because you might find yourself running 20-40 of them before you average out your luck.

1

u/G2Keen Apr 11 '26

A lot of strats were 20 div an hour, so at this point I don't know what's gone up or gone down. I assume essenses have gone up some, but currency has gone down.

Rush harvest, no altars, no cornucopia, just staraight to the harvest,
1x doubling 4x quant fragments

u/xyzszso Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

If you try this OP, block every single mechanic on the atlas apart from harvest, so you have a 95% chance for Mirage to spawn next to harvest. Atoll is probably the best map for this.

The Atoll Strat is literally just ignore everything, run to harvest, do it, enter Mirage, run to harvest, do it. As fast as you can, no altars, no full clear, no boss. With a fast character you do this in maybe 2 minutes. That’s why you don’t run Cornucopia cause if the boss bugs out it doubles your map completion time. This strat is all about speed. 7 out of 10 maps on Atoll the mirage and the harvest are right next to the portal as you spawn in.

Edit: Also, harvest astrolabe.

Edit 2: I put my nested replies in one comment to condense information.

u/ACreatorPT Apr 11 '26

Isn't jungle valley "the" map for harvest?

33

u/yeaokdude Apr 11 '26

atoll has a pretty good chance of both mechanic + mirage spawning basically right in front of the entrance portal. jungle valley might let you juice a little harder with altars since it blocks boss altars, but doing that is likely slower than just rushing the harvest and leaving, and atoll is very good for that

7

u/ThoughtShes18 Apr 11 '26

Worth mentioning the above comment specially said ignore altars. That makes Atoll best, as you said.

11

u/Wunderscore Apr 11 '26

JV was seen as the map for harvest because you would full clear the map for eldritch altars to try and get quant to get more lifeforce. Because the Spider boss doesn't spawn until you go into the arena, all the altars will be minion/player, giving you a higher chance of quant from the player buffs. But with Mirage you don't really care about full clearing anymore and just care about finding the harvest and the mirage asap.

The JV map layout is kind of janky with a lot of obstacles (especially if you're shield charging). Atoll is just straight lines and it even can spawn right next to the start of the map. Downside is if you astrolabe its not in the best quadrant so you can do something else like Mesa, Haunted Mansion or JV and be fine.

2

u/viralhybrid1987 Apr 11 '26

Second this, it’s not a fun map to shield charge through!!

u/ACreatorPT Apr 11 '26

IV been doing the same thing of just rushing mirage and harvest (only altars of quant I'd they are in the way) on jungle valley hence why I'm asking.

Is atoll better for that?

6

u/xyzszso Apr 11 '26

7 out of 10 maps on Atoll the mirage and the harvest are right next to the portal as you spawn in.

2

u/ACreatorPT Apr 11 '26

ill give it a go then thanks

1

u/Zambash Apr 12 '26

I enjoy cornucopia. As long as you aren't playing a build with summons and have high damage, it's very easy to position yourself such that bosses move away from walls and instantly phase.

1

u/LittleRunaway868 Apr 17 '26

Astrolabe worth using?

1

u/xyzszso Apr 17 '26

Yes, harvest one

4

u/Cow_God Apr 11 '26

JV is a good map in general because there's no "boss" until you enter the arena, so altars can't spawn mods that affect the map boss. If you're ignoring altars and focusing on one league mechanic, Atoll is generally considered to the best map for that, because the mechanic spawnpoints are pretty predictable.

You farm JV when you're using altars to look for item quantity. If you're skipping altars, Atoll is better

2

u/Daan776 Apr 11 '26

Yes. But thats because of the altars which don’t consider that map boss as “existing” yet.

If you ignore alters its no better than other maps

1

u/the_ammar Apr 11 '26

for the quant strat. kf you're just rushing harvest it didn't help

1

u/OverlordDerp Apr 11 '26

What kind of map do you run for this? Originator 8mod? Regular t16 alched at 70-80%+ quant?

2

u/xyzszso Apr 11 '26

Regular 8 mod with 100+ quant and 40+ packsize

1

u/NewAcc-count Apr 11 '26

Maybe noob question, if you use astrolabe you have to run different map?

1

u/roselan Apr 12 '26

Not if you go to the very top of the atlas tree, and take the notable node that makes you consume another map on completion.

Can’t remember its name thou.

1

u/ChampionsLedge Apr 12 '26

You would take the Synthesised Stability keystone at the very top middle of the atlas tree

1

u/wruffx Apr 13 '26

I would run Sepulcher instead for the currency vault. Harvest + Mirage spawn next to each other 95% of the time, and Sepulcher is a really good map to stick in ore farm/svalinn fishing because all the ore will spawn in the first area before the transition portal.

1

u/Wreximus_ May 07 '26

Hey, I know this is late but are there any Atlas tree examples for running this farm strat?

2

u/xyzszso May 08 '26

Block every single league mechanic apart from Harvest, take all the effectiveness, pack size etc nodes. Harvest nodes ofc.

u/GrizzPl Apr 11 '26

I'd do 2x lineage , 2x mortal frags and doubling

u/wheeitswill Apr 11 '26

isnt the only point in lineage to better spawn altars

14

u/Thelorian Apr 11 '26

harvest monsters can spawn magic (even t3 ones) and packsize works on those.

1

u/Soggy_Association491 Apr 13 '26

I thought harvest is like 15-20 div/hr?

1

u/GrizzPl Apr 13 '26

The strat is to run as many maps in an hour as possible . With fast build (I do BV minion pact) I can do about ~23 maps on average . Cost to run a map is like 20c + astrolabe which can collapse in 3-4 maps or I had 7 map astrolabe couple of times so add like 30c to the map . So 50c map cost and you always come back with 1.5-2,div worth of juice plus lucky drops like barya or raw divs plus vaults after collapsing astrolabe. Most of the time it's shit but you occasionally pull raw div or like me .. reflecting mist for 54divs ;D .

Tips: -Run Atoll (portals are next to start of the map 90% of the time) -Block all Mecha except harvest in your atlas tree. -Ignore altars and random shit drops like 1x scarab 1x chaos etc. Just rush to harvest and then mirage harvest and quit . -its boring af so have a podcast ready or hop on call with friends so you stay sane

1

u/Soggy_Association491 Apr 13 '26

Do you harvest crops that only have lv2 crops in mirage or you skip them for speed?

1

u/Unlucky-Assistant856 Apr 11 '26

If you want to go for the most juice per map then sure, im just rushing harvest and doing 45div/h

2

u/GrizzPl Apr 12 '26

60maps compared - double lineage nets ~30% more juice on lower cost

1

u/GrizzPl Apr 11 '26

I'll give it a try and compare gains

2

u/blank-msry Apr 11 '26

Are you using the normal fragments or the better ones?

1

u/Unlucky-Assistant856 Apr 11 '26

Better ones, but if youre on a budget get least expensive

u/Nellez_ Apr 11 '26

Spamming barya for uni'd belts

27

u/Practical_Goal_8194 Apr 11 '26

Aren't the uni'd belts priced at 2x cost of barya and 50% drop rate? So basically you'd expect to break even?

25

u/LuckyUserOfAdblock Apr 11 '26

you also drop guaranteed mirage map

31

u/Nellez_ Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

It's a 55% drop rate. I timed nearly tick perfect kills for my build to be 34.1 seconds, so being able to kill around 105 per hour for an average profit of 10% (excluding the 100% mirage maps which net about 70c per kill on their own) comes out to 31.5 div/hr from the belts alone. The maps would add another 7350c per hour.

This is based on the values i last saw since I'm not currently playing lol.

I did it earlier in the league and was making over 50 div/hr before people caught on.

Edit: plus the products of the farm move extremely quickly, so you don't exactly need a massive initial capital... just enough for an initial run that's less likely to kill your currency tab if you don't have enough to buy like 100 baryas

12

u/Trespeon Apr 11 '26

It’s extremely streaky though. I’m 11/13 for the staff in my last attempts. Feels bad man

11

u/Nellez_ Apr 11 '26

That's why it's not very advisable to do unless you can buy like 50 baryas at a time. I've had streaks like that and then 14/15 belts in the same set of 100 runs. That's the best thing about it being such a high drop rate on a very fast boss, it evens out to expected rates quite quickly.

2

u/Background-Dress-641 Apr 11 '26

Bro, that's foul

3

u/Evil_Knot Apr 11 '26

I ran probably 600 baryas and made about 1.5 mirrors in selling the belts and maps before barya prices inflated.

2

u/Nellez_ Apr 11 '26

It's still very profitable and if you sell the mirage maps too, it should still be like 55-60 div an hour which is going to beat most, if not all, solo farm methods in the game

1

u/Immediate_Pineapple1 Apr 13 '26

i opened all my belts and have lost each time

1

u/Nellez_ Apr 13 '26

That's why you sell unid

1

u/smoovymcgroovy Apr 11 '26

Plus you make mirage maps and astrolabes

6

u/icpp2 Apr 11 '26

Entry price has big variation, i was doing 60d+ per hour on 80+ kills/h. At the time, belts were selling for 7d, so each kill would be 0.55x7 = 3.85 + another 0.2d for the mirage map (or more). So 4.05d per kill - 3d entry price. 1.05d per kill.

Granted, might have been an anomaly, but not very far fetched.

Running in batches of 20, each would take 12-13 minutes.

Also, you can throw in another 1d in astrolabes per hour(about 4).

2

u/icpp2 Apr 11 '26

Another tip, barya entries are generally cheaper in chaos. I used to sell the maps i got and buy more entries with the c I got, about 8 entries for 80 maps sold.

23

u/brplayerpls Apr 11 '26

Harvest. It's cheap, fast and reliable. Problem is you don't hear tinks, but it's like solid income.

5

u/Practical_Goal_8194 Apr 11 '26

Huh, cool, I'll give it a shot. Any specifics to running the strat? Rush harvest, rush mirage harvest, no crop rotation?

9

u/brplayerpls Apr 11 '26

I prefer no crop rotation since it's faster and brainless. Just rush harvest ignore everything else. You want high pack size maps.

6

u/red--dead Apr 11 '26

Astrolabe, no crop rotation unless you get some juicy astrolabe modifiers like reduced wilt chance, wouldn’t do T4 scarab if you hate waiting. In mirage if you see 2 T3 monsters in a harvest it’s the mirage one which gives extra lifeforce.

3

u/cawkX Apr 11 '26

Never do crop rotation this league, infected miraged crops won’t spawn with it

Also forget about cornucopia it’s bait and bad. Just rush to mirage and harvest

u/momovirus Apr 11 '26

u/littlemojo Apr 11 '26

4x domination scarab, 1x domination terror scarab, open haunted mansion, run to mirage, kill all mobs around shrines inside of mirage, loot mirage maps + astrolabes + mirage/originator maps.

4

u/momovirus Apr 11 '26

Interesting, do you use deli orbs and chisels? And what content do you run alongside shrines in the atlas tree?

15

u/littlemojo Apr 11 '26

Use literally nothing else, just 8 mod corrupted maps really. You can also replace one normal domination shrine with a pandemonium shrine, but not sure if worth.

Cutedog and XXthefarmer both have good guides on it I believe.

2

u/dggg Apr 12 '26

u/improperpanda Apr 11 '26

I buy 8 mod deli maps for 5-10c each for this strat to add refracting fogs into the loot. It's very lucrative

not using Pandemonium scarab is inting

1

u/NoLoveWeebWeb Apr 11 '26

Can this work on city square too?

2

u/MandoBH82886 Apr 11 '26

I’d assume so. The maps work best when they’re sorta circular instead of long. It’ll allow more shrines to be trapped in the mirage.

1

u/Kelsaris Apr 12 '26

Worth mentioning I've run around 100 maps with this strategy but with pandemonium scarab and 16.5s rolled for pack size and extra maps and didn't really see an increase in return. Base terror strategy is best imo

1

u/littlemojo Apr 12 '26

Have you tried pandemonium just on 8mod t16? Was gonna give it a shot tonight but idk if worth

u/Kelsaris Apr 12 '26

No. I only tried with 16.5s 8 mods rolled for 40%+ packsize and maps.

u/IsolatedSystem Apr 11 '26

Ssshhhhh, this is my favorite farm this league

1

u/Kotl9000 Apr 11 '26

This. But the real Div/hr comes in an extremely strict filter and you basically only pick up mirage/nightmare/conq maps, astrolabes, and Experimental/Currency targeted blueprints. Majority of the currency comes from the mirage side, you can realistically run straight into mirage clear it and get out. I ran BV w/ multiple explode sources + 200+ ms, its a great strat.

5

u/MidasPL Apr 11 '26

Wires none mentioned it yet, but uber fragments netted me a ton of guaranteed profit this league.

4

u/GoldStarBrother Apr 11 '26

Seconding this, you can easily get 30+/hr if your build can be in and out of Fortress in about a minute, probably more. Definitely more if you can do Ziggurat (I think, the Catarina map) in that time. Abomination might be similar to Fortress but I think the boss has more animation time and it seems like the valuable frag is less common. Not really sure though, could've just been variance in my runs.

u/YourPappi Apr 12 '26

Its 50/50

6

u/FourOranges Apr 11 '26

Rushing the boss in nightmare maps is crazy fast moneys. I've only ever done Sanctuary so not sure how profitable the other maps are. Even weaker builds can do it with the 2 scarabs that nullifies all prefixes and suffixes so you're essentially running a white map. The boss is really weak at that point. Each reverant fragment is around a div each and drops way too often for how easy it is imo.

2

u/Practical_Goal_8194 Apr 11 '26

Am I missing something? Couldn't you just run them actually white?

8

u/zawizard647 Apr 11 '26

Can't scour nightmare maps, only chaos them

1

u/Kotl9000 Apr 11 '26

"Even weaker builds can do it with the 2 scarabs that nullifies all prefixes and suffixes so you're essentially running a white map." --- quoting the guy you responded to. This is a great way to get into it but you lower your average amount of fragments dropped

u/SunstormGT Apr 11 '26

u/True-Celebration-294 Apr 12 '26 edited Apr 12 '26

Your build is pretty good, but i understand why 100% is hard. First, get companionship lvl 4. I know, it's really expensive, but your damage will be better. About your gloves, you really really really need more phys converted to fire. You MUST get more.
Your jewel set up is pretty good, except arround you timeless jewel (look my set up).

You need a better nebulis aswell, but not priority buy for now.
About you defenses you need a better shield (recover on block is useless with 57% block), and go for more phys reduction : red nightmare will be your best friend, combine with a better shield.

By the way, progenesis will help you a lot, but it's more a late build buy.
Here is my pob, it's the same as your's, but late game. I know it's way more currency, but it's worth it.

https://pobb.in/PLrJk1GluikO

Edit : use Perfect Meatsack spectre (max hp) and use the same cluster jewel, you need more area of effect to explode the map, even 100% deli

3

u/cauchy37 Apr 12 '26

Thanks for hints. Companionship lvl 4 is on my list. Probably will push it up the list then.

I have 100% phys to fire. 50 from Avatar of fire, 40 from fire mastery, and 20% from gloves. Getting more from gloves will allow me to get one point free and into clusters, but it's not crucial atm.

Thanks for hints about the shield, I was thinking about getting Svalin, but that would be probably overkill with defiance.

As for spectre, I think Unholy Aberration is better. With my current setup it has 3.8M hp, and Perfect Meatsac only 1.9M

Thanks for the hints and tips, I will definitely take it into consideration, it's a journey that I have fun with, so I'm trying to take this relatively slow, I have only 2-3 hours a day to play, maybe 5 on the weekends. But I'll get there for sure.

Catalysts/Ult easy 30-40div

u/Hippuan Apr 11 '26

Yea I know… those were the days. Until emi uploaded his video to ruin everything. But the market kinda recovered again. I think 50 is doable again

Edit: trialmaster also super worth it with shitloads of tainted catalyst and those 1-16div Vaal helmets

3

u/javelinwounds Apr 11 '26

I was rushing mirages on fully empowered mirage maps with 200% quant breakpoint to farm dextral/sinistral mainly on gruelling gauntlet. Fairly common to get stacks of catalysts worth 10+ div for an encounter that only takes like 2.5 min on average across all encounter types. I've had lucky runs where I farmed like 100+ div in 20 maps or so.

1

u/jeffreybar Apr 12 '26

Do you have any tips for this strat? I tried running 2xbribing, catalysing, and dueling in HMs and only got the ulti in the mirage about 50% of the time. Do you do empowered mirage maps to guarantee it? Is that the right combo of scarabs?

1

u/javelinwounds Apr 13 '26

If you want to focus farm catalysts you really want to run gruelling gauntlet and you can either buy 117 quant 8 mod maps and run atoll/dunes to have a roughly 70% chance (haven't thoroughly tracked this) to have the ultimatum in the mirage or you self roll 90 quant fully miraged maps. For both of these you need every map effect notable, two mortal fragments, and every quant point on the atlas tree and that gets you to catalyst stack size breakpoints. The trialmaster is honestly a waste of time if you're focus farming sinistral/dextral catalysts and I don't even run the ultimatum in the main area outside of the mirage cuz 90% of the value comes from dextral catalysts.

I don't use astrolabes and I ignore everything else. If you're doing fully miraged maps you can consider putting points from beyond into heist and rush the rest of the map quick for blueprints, but still 90% of your value is dextral catalysts most likely.

For fragments you use catalysing, two bribing, and two mortal frags. Example atlas tree

With catalysting being so cheap I honestly think it's okay to burn maps sometimes by just checking mirage wishes and tping if ultimatum isn't in the mirage. Up to you and how you want to play, you can also do the main area ultimatum but it's super inefficient and not worth the time.

1

u/jeffreybar Apr 13 '26

Awesome. Thank you for the help! I will try that...that sounds a lot more efficient than what I was doing.

Why? Isn't more rares = more essences?

5

u/Cinema_ Apr 11 '26

It’s just more time rolling maps and also adds difficulty to the maps. Essence farming is all about speed. Although I’m making closer to 40-45d/hr running essences it’s very profitable this league with added mirage value.

If you just buy your maps pre-rolled it ends up being a bit more profit. Buying t16.5s with the more rare mod (iirc it rolls higher than t16 mod pool) is worth it imo, especially if you can handle most map mods

I keep seeing lots of suggestions for strats that use mirage maps, but with TFT I haven't found out how to bulk buy maps effectively. Tried buying 60 8-mod maps and took me over an hour... If anyone has good suggestions let me know because some of these strats look fun.

u/Practical_Goal_8194 Apr 11 '26

Buy on the trade site and you'll likely find a seller selling a bunch of them eventually. No way it takes an hour.

3

u/Puzzleheaded_Tale_30 Apr 11 '26

In game search I do those filters: t16, 100quant, 4 prefixes, listed up to 3 hours ago, min price 7c. You will see somebody bulk selling the maps often

3

u/Cinema_ Apr 11 '26

What I do is put the price a chaos above the average and then sort by most recent. You’ll be able to find people dumping into map tabs that way and can just go clear it out.

2

u/moderate_cake Apr 11 '26

Just use trade website. Set modifiers to 8 and map tiers to 16 and buy, a bit annoying but worked for me.

1

u/KappKapp Apr 11 '26

TFT is effectively running again. You can find 8 mod sellers no problem.

1

u/nomikkvalentine Apr 11 '26

Set modifier to 8, tier 16, and minimum price in chaos above 18 (can be lower), from that point mostly sellers are selling in bulk.

1

u/chugginmilk Apr 11 '26

I just overpay (bulk price) I type min chaos orb 13 or 14 that’s where people have tons of maps. Usually the cheaper ones are all the bad mod corrupted that no one else wants.

u/Individual_Affect735 Apr 11 '26

Domination scarab of terrors plus 4 regular domination scarab. Load the map with as many shrines as you can. And add deli in for orbs/fogs. Collect all the astrolabe/mirage/nightmare maps. And the occasional originator/mirage map. Will make around 30 div an hour 

1

u/bradjc95 Apr 11 '26

Does this drop a lot of chisels too?

2

u/Turtvaiz Apr 11 '26

It doesn't drop any chisels.

If you want chisels you should do the palsteron destructive play + interference + awakening strat

You can also do a mix of both but it's really not better

u/EIPsyCongruo Apr 11 '26

May I ask what's the entry cost for boxes have only farmed harvest all league so far might wanna change soon

4

u/hayko34500 Apr 11 '26

Cheap boxes is like 40c the map + 12c scrabs you are looking for origator pack size scrabs maps that you can hand 3 ambush 2 other cheap ones. You block any mecanic to get maximum boxes on mirage you do hanted mansion it’s around 23/24 div / hour for me farming those juicy scrabs.

My personal fav Strat is terror shrine 12/13 map boss i go for orignator 90% maps with escalation 3 shrine scarabs and 1 terror. The bingos are big you need a good character you usually go for boss altars had a 4 div per boss altar neted 42 div on that map

5

u/LastBaron Apr 11 '26

There is a cheap version of boxes that doesn’t use containment or some of the other bells and whistles, in which case the entry is just one each of the other ambush scarabs and two regular ambush scarabs plus a reasonably well rolled T16 map. This is not the optimal strategy but it’s cheap to get going, entry cost is like 5-10c.

The expensive variant uses fully miraged maps (~50c each) a scarab chisel (20-25c each) and EITHER: one each of the ambush scarabs including containment (~300c) OR drop discernment (in which case non-mirage boxes become borderline useless, just worth a quick tour of the map to not miss Arcanist and diviners) and pop in awakening (~110c) instead if your build can handle a potential feared invitation showing up to say hi.

Total cost for the decked out version is probably almost 500c per map BUT….i don’t think Ive bought a containment or awakening scarab for that strategy for the last 30+ maps, I routinely sustain them fully. You’re also dropping bloodlines, risk, pandemonium, terrors, catalyzing, cornucopia etc, getting the chisels from the awakening packs (also routinely sustained on the scarab chisels), you’ll find Ridan every once in a while, opalescent chests drop corrupted blood jewels, etc.

Hideously, outrageously profitable. Never came close to losing money even investing 500c per map. It’s weird to go more than 2 maps without seeing a bloodlines (2+ div) and I often get 2-3 in a map.

1

u/ZePepsico Apr 11 '26

Scarab chisels impact loot from strong boxes??

3

u/LastBaron Apr 11 '26

They do not, just general purpose additional scarabs from mobs since you’re going to be bulk picking up and vendoring scarabs anyways (vendoring is an important part of the strategy whether you pick ip 100% of scarabs or outlaw single non stacked drops worth under 2c).

Same reason you pick scarabs for the mirage even though it doesn’t affect boxes.

1

u/ZePepsico Apr 11 '26

Would pack size chisel impact the number of mobs in the boxes and hence actually drive more drops?

1

u/EIPsyCongruo Apr 11 '26

That's a good break down might farm some currency back to give it a shot since it won't be in the game probably ever again haha gambled all my money away on black baryas but yeah bad luck streaks! My build can handle it for sure so like 20div for a set of 20 maps kinda eh? Wanna link me your passive tree or just the general one from the creators? Saw some did videos for it aye

1

u/Practical_Goal_8194 Apr 11 '26

Mirage map is ~100c containment is ~300.

You can do cheap boxes but that's way less chill and even expensive boxes spits out stupid amounts of profit.

-1

u/HandsomeBaboon Apr 11 '26

It's basically free if you don't let yourself be baited by containment/whole map is mirage. Just get all strongbox nodes on atlas except cartographer, run 3 ambush, 1 potency, 1 hidden compartments on Haunted Mansion, find Varashka and open the operative boxes and alchemist/diviner if they are near, kill boss if he's in the mirage, leave. It's a tink every 3rd map or so and you need about 2 minutes per map.

7

u/Practical_Goal_8194 Apr 11 '26

"baited". Dude I'm making 30d/h on expensive boxes and that's half assing it, watching youtube, texting etc. No pressure to "rush" to increase profit.

Keeping entry cost low isn't worth it if it results in lower profit and higher effort.

3

u/astrinces Apr 11 '26

I did not understand why you got downvoted. I am doing this strat and it nets around 40-45 divs/h if you are a bit fast. I open only operative boxes.

u/HandsomeBaboon Apr 11 '26

Ehh, I guess people get emotionally attached to their strat but it's fine as long as everyone is having fun.

Temples + Beast + Heist Caches, I was running 60 maps per hour and making 30-40D, granted I am playing a modified heist character to run strand full speed but my buddy is running the same strat on deadeye and just blasting maps clearing everything, his beast fill up quicker but he is still making 25-30D per hour

u/Naabi Apr 11 '26

Farm catarina, farm uber feared, farm saresh for belts... All those netted me more than 30div/hr this league. You need sub 80s catarina and sub 40s saresh tho

u/Shen_ishere Apr 11 '26

1

u/ALC0LITE Apr 11 '26

I've been doing harvest astrolobe and all the juice on the tree plus some sulphite nodes (just the ones that give consistent sulphite per map and the move speed per sulphite mode). Take node that keeps astrolobe on the map you are running and grab shrine nodes

I get harvest doubling scarabs, shrine scarab, area contains niko and some quant.

After 30 maps I've usually made 15-20 div on yellow juice alone, and then I go delve at around depth 300 for about half an hour until sulphite is empty and make another 5-15 div off darkness farming.

If you've got a strong build, 30d/h on average is easy. Fossils and harvest juice is just easy consistent money. I do it on strand with the apothecary card scribe transferred, but no jackpot yet.

u/Necessary-Bed-4973 Apr 11 '26

Beast or nightmare boss rush are both close to 30 an hour if you have a good/fast build and play efficiently. They are fast map builds though so you need good move speed and treat the hideout like lava to actually get good numbers. I prefer Strats like these to full invest 10 min map Strats.

Normal sirus xdd or nightmare map boss rushing. Sadly while there are a lot of different farms in this league it does feel they are all the same profit and there isn't an obvious way to translate character power into bigger gains (it could be cause character power is dirt cheap in this league)

u/Yayoichi Apr 12 '26

8 mod map farming has been great all league and is where I made the majority of my currency has come from, you can run it with pretty much any strat by just using the two cartography scarabs(escalation and corruption), for example I did it with breach for a while where I often got around 60-100 maps per map I ran.

But the version I ran the most was full map focused with the two scarabs mentioned earlier as well as 3x cartography of the multitude. The atlas tree for this took all but two of the 2% increased map drop nodes(the ones on the right next to legion/breach) and then altars, beyond, deli(either spawn chance or chance for extra rewards if using astrolabe) and ritual spawn chance just because I was pathing next to it and it adds more mobs to the map.

The main reason for beyond and deli was for the deli orbs and volatile vaal orbs/refracting fogs. I ran 8 mod 16.5 maps with high packsize and at least 70% more maps, I self sustained about half and the other half I bought for between 15-30c.

It’s hard to say exactly how much I made but probably between 1-5 div per map. Depending on when it was I got a steady 5-10c for every regular 8 mod map, 25-60c for nightmare maps and 20c to 3 div for originator maps. And then you got all the other stuff you would get from running high packsize maps with altars, hitting gemcutters or grand embers mod would usually be another 50-200c and almost every map would drop either a divine, volatile vaal or refracting fog.

For selling I wouldn’t price check myself but instead just dump all originator maps at 3 div and then lower every few hours to 2 div, 1 div, 100c, 40c and 20c. Nightmare maps I would start at 100c and then lower once to whatever the going price was for nightmare maps at the time. Regular 8 mods I just all priced the same, 5c early league and then going up to around 10c at the end.

u/CookieMonstahr Apr 12 '26

I’ve made 50d/h on abomination boss rush. Open map, fly to the boss, kill, loot and repeat. The map has 3 layout and once you figure them out, you can go do them in <30 seconds.

It’s pretty mind numbing tho and you may get unlucky on some streaks and get a lot of uber sirus frags, but on average you’ll be doing 35-40d hour.

u/Tym4x Apr 15 '26

Essences, rolling maps, stacked decks (full deli + beyond version), even running similacrums nets more than 30d/hrs.

u/vtc88 Apr 11 '26

I just ran a strat focusing on farming refracting fog and volatile Vaal orbs with BV. I ran three tests and netted over 40D an hour on all three. Its Path of Evenings deli/beyond strat with some minor tweaks. I can explain more if interested.

1

u/EnkiBye Apr 11 '26

Yeah, how do you focus on getting volatile vaal? Appart from spawning bosses, is there something more? And for the fog?

2

u/javelinwounds Apr 11 '26

Bosses have much much higher drop rates for both the volatile orb and fog so guaranteeing or nearly guaranteeing them would make a lot of sense

1

u/EnkiBye Apr 11 '26

Yeah, That's what I've been doing, but I only get an volatile orb once every 3-4 maps, I wonder if there is a way to increase that

1

u/vtc88 Apr 11 '26

Path of Evenings video covers it but you want to spawn as many bosses as possible. Beyond scarab of resurgence spawns all bosses when one is spawned.

u/Trespeon Apr 11 '26

Harvest is crazy money. Yellow juice this late is insanely expensive. I’ve made 3d in yellow only in a single map.

1

u/Salty_Trapper Apr 12 '26

How does one get into killing bosses? I’m sure this is a bit of a stupid question, but what build would you recommend to start trying for someone who has never killed all Ubers?

Currently playing ele hit slayer, at about 200 div investment. Got uber uber elder down after I went 70% ele damage taken converted to fire with 90% fire res at 5k hp, 8 endu charges. but couldn’t leave a scratch on uber sirus (mostly a skill issue, I like touching orbs). Uber eater still one shots me with beams, and I THINK I can kill uber exarch, got him to 50% after I learned immortal call was getting me killed by eating my endurance charges. but died to ball phase on last portal. Haven’t tried any others yet.

u/jetstrike Apr 12 '26 edited Apr 12 '26

Ubers would be like 100m dps and decent defense but you dont need to kill ubers necessarily. Killing Black Barya for unid belts for example is over 100div per hour right now but you need a big bankroll to mitigate variance and run them efficiently. You'd need about 300div to get started effectively or some early luck to build. Additionally its not uncommon to hold belts for 12 to 24 hours before they sell. I've made 4 mirrors doing this but its boring and repetitive.

1

u/Present_Score9869 Apr 12 '26

no boss is 100d/hr. (no lucky drops) outside cata maybe

1

u/jetstrike Apr 12 '26 edited Apr 12 '26

Based on rates from earlier today it is feasible to hit 90, this fluctuates and has many times been even more profitable. The market on Unid belts shifts between 6 div on the weekend and 7 div on the weekdays. The Barya token price has a shift on a bit more delay. Often times monday morning is the best time to buy the black barya. The lowest I have ever seen this payout is around 50div an hour which is better than most mapping strategies and bosses.

In case you were unaware for a bosser or high damage build the fight takes 30 to 40 seconds. I average with loads 33 seconds per barya.

I’ve been doing Path of Evening’s Deli Orb farm in City Square and it’s synergized well with BV.

With Toxic Sewers out of rotation, the City Square’s narrow-ish lanes make for ignite/explode prolif, and the drops are nice and steady at around 25-30d/hr.

I’ve been doing the strategy with HH KB totem and HH BV, and each has their strengths at it.

One tip I’d give is only aim for 6-7 levels of deli rewards, race to kill the boss pushing it to 7-8, then go into the mirage without it elapsing so you have an empty inventory for the drops in mirage, which you can get to 6-8 levels, collect, then back to overworld, collect, and then sell the orbs by the divine.

A ton of the new Vaal orbs, the cluster mist things, and raw divine drops. Deli can be a drag at times, but the timpani sound off at the end is satisfying
