I've been running the strategy for a while and you get a better return and more quant on the map without using back to basics. More monsters more maps, you want shrines, breach,and alters.
B2B’s benefit is its speed. You might get the most margin with Destructive Play and the juice you mention but it didn’t feel like the highest T17 yield per hour.
@@GankoInitiative what kinda char are you using? I'm not that fast, ea witch, but I don't like being in maps for long either. I'm not using destructive play, burned out on killing guardians. I also have bad luck with b2b rolls.
I've been already running this strat with you while watching your stream and liked it a lot. FYI the "No smuggler's cache" notable has no effect related to scarabs and is a wasted atlas point.
@@subtractem btw I'm also playing your build and it gave me a lot of firsts like the feared and my first lvl 99! Thank you for your videos and content this league
Great video, i really hope it will still be applicable next league, because i dont really care to farm much in this league and i dont like doing t17s, but next league i will for sure be doing them on a tankier build
I'm 100% sure they're changing T17s next league since it was never their plan for them to be so much *harder* than the Uber Bosses that they're supposed to be the "Stepping stone" towards. Makes me sad, as T17 map farming with Flicker Strike Trickster was the only enjoyment I got out of this league. But hey, hopefully the game itself will be in a much better state so it won't matter.
Great video man! I'm still very much enjoying this league. 😊 I'm gonna try incorporating this strat after I get off work in the morning. Farming T17s my main focus now that my builds a lot stronger, but I feel like I still might need to rely on shrines and headhunter buffs to rush the boss. They are OP! Even with a mageblood its baffling. I'm playing LA deadeye. I might drop my artillery ballista for a 6 linked manaforged arrows. I use it to gain frenzy charges now but its by itself. Mapping has been mostly fine as long as I don't put any nasty allflames on. I tried meatsack on a T17 and bruhs thats nuts. I wanna know what kinda health multiplier that gives cause its ridiculous. In those areas I might wanna trade spread for power. Those haunted modifiers I thought about maybe specing into "less effect" on the atlas skill tree, but idk how bad that might NERF loot. 🫤 Sorry for the rant. 😊
Yet another video showing that juiced back to basics T17 fast farming is the best thing right now... for those with a strong enough build to run the content. Nice vídeo though
Thanks for the great guide. I've a question. How does favoured maps affect t17s drop rate? I run jungle valley with your strat. With Dunes in the all favourite slots I have big big t17s drops. But when i switch slots to Strand or Toxic Sewer seems like t17s drop rate falls down mandatory.
@@GankoInitiative I run sanctuary because it is also 0.5 div/map cheaper than fortress and has the 2 most expensive fragments in standard, and the dark seer which is 20 div in standard. Assuming you can handle the boss, overall running fortress is better only better on divination barrel farming, otherwise sanctuary is the best just for the cheaper, frags and for most builds faster layout.
I saw your video yesterday, until now I am testing this form, I had 2 question, I would be happy if you could answer it. 1) i have about 10 extra node (atlass skills), its good idea i take all [2% chance for one Monster in each of your Maps to drop an additional connected Map] nodes? Do these nodes have an effect on the dropping of unique, T17, elder/shaper, etc. maps? Or just normal T1 to T16 maps? Or should I get scarab nodes? 2) in [Toxic Sewer] we can find [Ziggurat - T17] but in [Dunes] we can find [Fortress- T17] which [Fortress- T17] has a better price and sells faster. So wouldn't it be better to use the [Dunes] map instead of [Toxic Sewer]? Let me put my question another way, why did you choose this map [Toxic Sewer] ?
A year and a half ago the game was...very different. Tanky might have been a bit of a stretch but it was relatively comfortable in softcore at the time. There has been so much power creep, especially on the monster side, requiring much more defense than we used to for comfort. The game evolves very quickly and builds have to evolve with it.
If you re sustaining on t16 with the 8mod scarab , you dont need to take chiselled perfection , since your maps wont have quality . Regardless verry nice strategy , thank you
True, while you are in the T16s you can drop it because most but some aren't quality. Then ya wanna remember to add it back in the T17. Or you can keep it and forget it which was kinda the point of Sub's all-in one template (just change 1 point singular focus).
I think it's a bit misleading to say the pandemonium scarab is 17 c. If you want to buy 1 scarab at a time it is yes, but most people don't have more than a couple of them, so you have to trade a ton of times to get them, or pay a large markup, like 25c + each, or 4 per 1 divine (maybe the prices already jumped up again since I'm a bit late). Unless I'm missing the better way to buy these without paying a massive markup to get multiple in one trade. Would love if you showed how you bought your scarabs in the future. Thanks.
While technically true that there is a range on scarab costs based on bulk vs single purchasing, it’s not misleading to site one of those prices. Also 8c won’t make or break the margins on this.
Does the drawn to power atlas node not work with horned scarab of pandemonium? i figured that would net more chances at atlas boss spawning thus more maps
No shrines in Back to Basics maps. If you want to stick with shrines you can go for the Terror scarab instead. It just doesn’t scale as well. But easier.
@@subtractem Yup, it works, i didn't see that back to basic was random, I just got a lot of low rolls. I think it's a funny strategy but my build bricks on so many mods that it's basically unplayable
if i remove al the shaper/conquer map modes wil it reduce my normal t17 or 8 mob favoured map drops? because i am on standard and those maps dont sell for anything
I remove them when I run 17s for 16s. I haven’t tested it extensively enough to know if some of them are getting converted to 17s when running 16s. Run some batches of both ad report back :-)
I've been running back to basics but recently, pretty much every abomination, fortress and sanctuary map I've run has had an abyss in it........ anyone else seen this? Don't think its intended.
If you are running T16-T17 , why u put higher map tier chance nodes on atlas, as it says T1-15 chance to become 1 tier higher, not working for T16 or T17, if im wrong let me know, kind of noob :D
Can’t do Maven on B2B so ya gotta pick one. Maven is slower with higher upside and is a good change of pace. B2B is better T17 yield and a fun fast pace.
Bro....grab the "Boss has wildwood wisps if map is cleared" node...i ran the exact same thing to farm up maps. The wisps really help with the boss drops!
@@marc-andreblais5818 How is this useless? b2b strats are top tier for ssf, not only you never worry about sustain, you also get good loot at the same time, not to mention uniques this generates

Community CHALLENGE: try and get 4 T17s to drop on the same screen. Happens occasionally in the boss room.
Best t17 sustain strategy I played yet, but got two nameless seers in a row and both didnt appear because of pandemonium bug :D
Had the same bug too. Super annoying!
is there a 3.25 version for this?
this is like a divine every 2 minutes? damn
Great video, i really hope it will still be applicable next league, because i dont really care to farm much in this league and i dont like doing t17s, but next league i will for sure be doing them on a tankier build

i just read bla bla bla im copying fubgun build.
Is there an updated atlas/guide for 3.25?
Why do u spec into removing specific extra content nodes if back to basics removes extra content? Or do u run another strategy with same tree?
It also limits the types of scarabs that drop
Yet another video showing that juiced back to basics T17 fast farming is the best thing right now... for those with a strong enough build to run the content. Nice vídeo though
You can still get nearly the same result by only using B2B on the T16s. Unspec B2B and use that point to get Singular Focus when you run the T17s.
Video is mostly about farming in T16s…

This is not working for me at all lol. that one scarab is 5:1 and I am just not making it back. 20 maps down and I got 4 t17's
i recommend Cemetery, very fun to run
Open layout is good for some builds, brothers gift is great but not great density and Sanctuary not as valuable as Ziggurat or Fortress.

Chiselled Perfection is useless if your maps have 0% quality.
This is a shared atlas that also runs T17s that can have quality.
when farming the t16 maps in a t17 map do i still use the same scarabs?
Singular focus decrease the chance of t17s to drop, got it from some guy on Reddit
Yes, I say that in the video. You don't use Singular Focus when farming T17s.
true, i just forgot to add that it were good when starting off t16 self-sustaining with map supplies
Why do u take +map to be a tier higher 1-15?
Do you also run back to basic for the T17 maps ? Don't they hurt too much with more explicit modifier ?
Yeah if your build ain’t ready for T17s farm the 8mods in 16s or buy in bulk from TFT.
If you re sustaining on t16 with the 8mod scarab , you dont need to take chiselled perfection , since your maps wont have quality . Regardless verry nice strategy , thank you

You will want to be able to blast through map bosses since the map will be full of them.

That is a t17 only modifier
