Yes. Essences are hard, but in white tier maps they're manageable. Even if you have a not so strong character, you're probably gonna be able to run Essences in white tier maps. This build needs a Tabula and a Trigger Wand and it's ready to farm them in tier 1-3 maps with no issues. Get some gem levels, add a few Ghastly Eye Jewels, spec a bit more into Minion Damage and you can farm them comfortably even in yellow tier maps with this build. For red tier maps, only up to 3 mod Essences. They are way too hard in tier 16 maps and you need a better build if you want to spec intro Crystal Lattice.
Solid guide! People won't understand how strong this strat is because there is actually nuances that boost your profits. Also this is a decent replacement for endless heist because you can do this on white maps and it helps new players or weaker builds make currency thats pretty straight forward. People who look at this and think they won't make money, have never made crazy amounts of money on this strat. Even in the guide there are things missing to simplify the process. But those who know the details can make 3-8 divs easy. 2min a map - figure out how how to get 200% movespeed and you will literally 3x or 4x the profits listed here. Atlas passives, you only need roughly 70 to 80 for this strat to work thats not even that crazy requirement. Corruption essence, yea... that's all you need to know. (Hint 1:55) I mean I'm not even gonna mention TFT, or crafting. But holy if people only knew how to use this strat. Again solid guide, idk why people think this strat is bad etc.
Ty Sid. This is a general theme on my channel. Maybe it's because the channel has a few subs, not sure. Whenever I run a farming strategy and show the results 2 things happen: 1) 90% like rate on the video 2) a lot of complaints in the comments :D I got used to it. That's why almost all of my farming strategies come with a public spreadsheet. To tune a out a bit of complaints. Now, this has reduced them, but not removed them entirely. To me this is really funny to see. No matter what strat I run, I always make really close to what the spreadsheet says. Some things are not always liquid, but usually I run the strat a bit more, or incorporate that illiquid part of the start in different strat, get a bit of bulk and sell afterwards.
What would be good t1-t3 maps to try this strategy in 3.21? I can find a build on my own, but would appreciate some help regarding the strategy :D thanks
@@MerilandSolid Good layouts for 3.21 and Horizon Chance: Tier 1 good layouts: Alleyways, Collonade, Scriptorum (75% chance) Tier 2 good layouts: Dunes, Stagnation, Excavation, Belfry, Grotto (50% chance) Tier 3 good layouts: Overgrown Shrine, Strand, Infested Valley, Primordial Pool, Fields (62.5% chance) Tier 4 good layouts: Cemetery, Lighthouse, Port, Tower (50% chance) Tier 5 good layouts: Atoll, City Square, Marshes, Arcade, Residence (62.5 chance) These are the best ones in my opinion. Good luck!
@MerilandSolid op already laid out the best maps for this league. Some other tips are if you have 3 copies of a map you don't want, you can vendor it for a different map. Also helps in atlas progression to get new maps for completion for atlas points to get to the essence nodes. Another tip is day 1 and day 2, don't upgrade beyond shrieking essence. People won't have money to buy bulk deafening essence. If you end up doing this for a long period of time always list the item in bulk. Example 21/9, first number is the price of bulk and second number is how many. Essences are traded in 9s because 1 stack is capped at 9.
I came here to learn something. I learned that my current league strategy is really solid. I'm 110/115 right now and close to ubers doing essences and delirium only. I really think its a good farming strat. Great vid
Thanks! It's a really good farming strategy that you can run in white tier maps until you make enough currency, and it also works in tier 16 maps on a fast build.
Nice strat! Are you going to be doing similar project as you did in 3.20 like the Mageblood project? Or rather trying out different atlas strats? Pretty interested in seeing videos about the new Abyss/Breach strats from you! Especially now that we have the gateways that allows new unique atlas strats :)
Hey. I'm go ultra casual this league and gonna limit myself to 2 hours gameplay per day. Last league I played 4 hours per day in the first 4 days and then I started playing 3 hours per day consistently until I got a Mageblood. So just in the first week I had 25 hours of game play. This league by the end of week one I'm only gonna have 14 hours of gameplay xD . It takes me 8 hours to finish the Campaign and 3 Labs. Really wanna see just how far I can take it ultra casual. Probably gonna name the series: "Zero to 2 hour Hero" All of the Mageblood strats still work and you can run the ones that were ran in Toxic Sewer in Waste Pools instead. The final 3 div per hour strat with Gilded Expedition can be ran in Beach Map since it's back in the Atlas Rotation and it's probably gonna net you around 5 Div per hour. I'm gonna be really slow this league compared to most players, but I went a bit hard last league. Not sure if I'll go for a Mageblood.
What other farming strategies are good for early league? I find that these strategies are not very good unjuiced (by map atlas passive tree and rolling maps with scarabs/sextants): blight, breach, ritual, harvest, bestiary, MFing, abyss, expedition, alva temples, beyond and stuff that seems to work no matter the map; heist cache, betrayal, metamorph, strongbox? shrine? I am not sure what is best... stay low maps and not spend time on completing maps and just farm hard on essences or complete atlas and go some more profitable atlas strategies?
I'm gonna go into tier 16 maps and farm 2-3 divines profit per hour there with Blight, Contracts, Wrath of the Cosmos and improved Offerings: ruclips.net/video/wfSmEnTlsFQ/видео.html I'll probably run this strategy for 2-3 hours to get some initial currency and then spec out of it.
@@Mrfunkysheep everyone will get access to 3 essences per map for only 3 chaos due to Kirac map mod. It doesn't mean, that essences will not sell, usually they are huge resource sink, but abundance will lead to lower prices. Also, all heisters will probably stick to this strategy as it requires about the same amount of active brain power (0) as endless heist. Netflix + essence hunting FTW!
@@Mrfunkysheep because last league it wasn't a map mod, so you were limited on the amount of essences you could run, but now you only need to spend a cheap 3 chaos on the map deviceand you'll get 3 additional essence spawns per map, which is a ton if break it down to how many you can get from each one. Thus the market will get saturated with essences quickly. I'm not saying they won't sell, but don't expect to get the same amount of currency that you did last league from selling them.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole you'll get the same like last league if you're fast and smart about it. Early league essences are in such a huge demand that the prices will still be very worth running it as people need a metric ton to craft starting gear. After that, you don't sell the cheap ones, u use them for harvest swaps and turn them into the more valuable ones like loathing/greed/contempt. And while essences in theory might be cheaper, they won't be 1/3 of what they were last league so using the map device will net more profit while also keeping divine prices lower due to good kirac mods in general.
The numbers won't be identical, but at the same time, this batch right here was a bit unlucky. I have tested this farming strategy for 4 Leagues now, and I was getting more Essences than I got here. But, I got better Delirium loot this time, so you know. It's a free strategy. Try it out for 2 hours if you want to, try to sell things and see how it goes. I had a total of 640 chaos here in Revenue. Worst case scenario you're still gonna be able to liquidate at least 200 chaos. Buy some better items and move on to another farming strategy if this doesn't work.
Hi Dan, i wanted to ask, what do you think is good early farm for season HC? Even with how different the market is here I never tried it in poe but i want to try this league
Hey. I'm not sure to be honest what's good for HC. Never played HC before. I guess Essences? Maybe raw currencies in Mao Kun? Not sure if Mao Kuns are low tier this league. If they are you could run them efficiently like this: ruclips.net/video/7lbPYShTDmc/видео.html Ran 10 last league to kickstart my currency stack.
Don't think so. Everything is liquid. Essences, currencies, deli orbs, good clusters, good cards, good uniques. Some may have to be sold a few days later if you only run this strategy for 1.5 hours like I did here. If you run this strat for 6 hours, you're gonna have 4x of everything. Literally impossible to not liquidate these in bulk at almost any point in the league except after maybe end of month 2, beginning of month 3 of the league.
Doesn't replace endless heist. It was good because you got the currency upfront in trivial content - It was especially good for weak builds with high speed. Essences are stronger than most map bosses. Also essences gain value over time, people need to start crafting - Chaos orbs/uniques on day 1 have incredibly high value as is and get worse as time progresses. It was there to kickstart your build in a safe enviroment.
Essences are hard, don't get me wrong, but I was farming them on a Tabula with this build and a trigger wand. Some builds will do better versus different mechanics, this build just zergs them with a lot of minions and they get stuck in place.
Yeah, you're not getting 400c/hr on the first day of league, not even the second day. I do this quite a bit on every league, inc. memories as well last league. And while there might be a higher demand for essences this next league on midgame, the problem with this is that essences practically worthless on the first day due to lack in demand, and the more people who's doing this, the worse it'll be for you. Heist on the other hand is basically raw currency farm, it's a whole different category than this.
Hey. The similarity is the playstyle: Run => Stop for Essence vs Run => Stop for Chest. It's a farming strategy where you are running a lot kinda like you were in endless heist. This is more of a week 1 farming strategy, rather than day 1. Most players reach maps by the end of day 2-3. Same case for me. Takes me 8 hours to finish campaign and 3 Labs and I play 2-4 hours per day. To those, this will be like Endless Heist. To the hardcore gamers that by te end of day 1 had a stack of 100-200 chaos, it's not gonna feel like the same strategy.
On day 1 or 2 of league start while running maps and not killing most mobs how are you maintaining your map pool of a specific map or maps in general? Especially when you aren’t taking any map sustain nodes. I suppose you could try and trade for the maps but in the first few days trying to buy white maps is going to be time consuming.
Hey. It's gonna be hard to run the same map at the start of the league. What you can do is you can Horizon to good layouts Horizon are not that expensive at the start of the league. There are multiple good layouts for each map tier. Good layouts for 3.21: Tier 1 good layouts: Alleyways, Collonade, Scriptorum (75% chance) Tier 2 good layouts: Dunes, Stagnation, Excavation, Belfry, Grotto (50% chance) Tier 3 good layouts: Overgrown Shrine, Strand, Infested Valley, Primordial Pool, Fields (62.5% chance) Tier 4 good layouts: Cemetery, Lighthouse, Port, Tower (50% chance) Tier 5 good layouts: Atoll, City Square, Marshes, Arcade, Residence (62.5 chance) It's looking ok so far. Can also upgrade 3 to 1, buy from Kirac and so on. Should work.
@@casualdanpoe I think essence strategy is amazing and you can make a lot of currency but I don’t think it’s a good replacement for endless heist. Endless heist is usually done day 1 or 2 before mapping. It had built in sustain which was one of the reasons it was great. Essence farming is great but day 1 or 2 of the league for the average player you’re just not going to have the map sustain to run through maps and not kill mobs. You also aren’t going to have horizons. If you are spending time trading for maps or horizons that is time spent not farming. I think this is a great guide and definitely a good strategy for week 1 I just don’t think it is an endless heist alternative. Also I believe essence will be highly valuable this league. Many people will be essence crafting bows but also many of those bows will be merged in the crucible.
@@flirtz3565 Oh. It's not 1 to 1 but they are really similar in how they play. Run => stop for Essence, rinse and repeat vs Run => stop for Heist Chest => rinse and repeat. That's why I named it Endless Essence. Most of the time in this strategy you are running, kinda like you were in Endless Heist. Loot is a bit different and it's probably not gonna be a strategy that you can liquidate after 3-4 hours in a new League, like were with Endless Heist, but you can run the chaos recipe tool and maybe clear a few packs here and there. This is more of a week 1 farming strategy rather than day 1 farming strategy. But to be honest, most players reach maps by the end of day 2 or day 3 (same case for me, takes around 8 hours to farm the campaign and I only play 2-4 hours per day). So, to most casual players it's gonna be the same as Endless Heist. To really hardcore Exiles that by the end of day one were sitting on a stack of 100-200 chaos, yes, this is something else entirely.
once i saw essence back on the map device, i knew i would go for that kind of strat. putting deli mirror with stream of consciousness in is a really nice plus. will try that. keep in mind, essence prices will be lower due to it being on map device compared to 3.20.
Yup. It works well. I've done a similar video to this for 4 leagues now. Essences in white tier maps are really good always because even if you manage to sell half of them first week of the league, that initial 100-200 chaos is enough to gear up your league starter and take you into red tier maps as long as you're playing a decent build. The rest can be sold later when the economy matures a bit.
Considering how many people are planning on playing ele bow, flat ele essences at the very least are going to be up. Pair your essence strat with harvest and you can reroll all your bad ones into good ones However, their value may suffer since they'll be on the map device. We'll have to wait and see
I mean, worst case, you try it out for 2 hours, try to sell the essences and see what happens, right? Worst case scenario you sell half of them, buy some nice upgrades and move on to another farming strategy. The atlas is pathing through the middle of the tree so you have access to a lot of farming starts. You only need to respec 17 points to refund all Essence Passives. You're gonna make around 200c just from the Deli Mirrors if you run this strategy for 2 hours.
@@kidzesty6303 52 Points exactly. I usually complete around 10 maps per hour at League Start. So around 5 hours to get 52 points. Took a look in game. Tier 8 maps.
not sure why ur so hard on skipping everyhting ? normal mapping + essences + unid chaos reciepe is way more than what ur showing. it really dosnt take much time to loot some rares and dump them into tabs and than do unid chaos reciepe. like u really think looting essences than selling it into chaos is faster than getting straight up chaos ? i really dont understand why ppl hate chaos reciepe so much :3
Hey. You can also run them your way if you plan on using the chaos recipe tool. I like running them like this because even if the layout of the map is a bit hard to understand, you can take a look at the minimap and see the Essence.
Hey. Made 62 maps back (check spreadsheet). Map sustain in white tier maps is not punishing. Most of the maps were dropped from map bosses. Didn't show them since the loot fit well into a single tab. @later edit. You want to run this strategy after you get 50+ Points on your Atlas. So you're gonna have enough extra maps by that point. If you get unlucky with maps (hasn't happened to me so far, but who knows) you can buy Kirac's shop. Since we are going for the map boss, you're also gonna get Kirac Missions and his shop refreshes after a mission. White maps in Kirac's shop cost chance orbs.
@@casualdanpoe what i am trying to say is that you will not be able to sustain the same map (Atoll) as the drop will be random and early in the league you will not have many favourite maps, hence impacting the end results
@@dagutten Ah yes. But you can horizon them. Horizon are not that expensive at the start of the league. There are multiple good layouts for each map tier.

Not really a definitive replacement for endless heist. Especially since most people farm essences anyway and don't buy early on in the league. For myself anyway, the point of endless heist at league start is to farm chaos vendor recipe, easy currency and and reveals. Also since you're ignoring trash, you're also missing out on getting chaos recipe pieces. Not really a smart idea at league start.
Nobody care about esssences everybody doing this and there will be also kirac essences for 3 chaos, so its useless for next league and bait like always everything on youtrashtube

Essence farming is great but day 1 or 2 of the league for the average player you’re just not going to have the map sustain to run through maps and not kill mobs. You also aren’t going to have horizons. If you are spending time trading for maps or horizons that is time spent not farming.
I think this is a great guide and definitely a good strategy for week 1 I just don’t think it is an endless heist alternative.
Also I believe essence will be highly valuable this league. Many people will be essence crafting bows but also many of those bows will be merged in the crucible.
@@flirtz3565 Oh. It's not 1 to 1 but they are really similar in how they play. Run => stop for Essence, rinse and repeat vs Run => stop for Heist Chest => rinse and repeat.
That's why I named it Endless Essence. Most of the time in this strategy you are running, kinda like you were in Endless Heist.
Loot is a bit different and it's probably not gonna be a strategy that you can liquidate after 3-4 hours in a new League, like were with Endless Heist, but you can run the chaos recipe tool and maybe clear a few packs here and there. This is more of a week 1 farming strategy rather than day 1 farming strategy.
But to be honest, most players reach maps by the end of day 2 or day 3 (same case for me, takes around 8 hours to farm the campaign and I only play 2-4 hours per day). So, to most casual players it's gonna be the same as Endless Heist.
To really hardcore Exiles that by the end of day one were sitting on a stack of 100-200 chaos, yes, this is something else entirely.
Yeeeeeeees
once i saw essence back on the map device, i knew i would go for that kind of strat. putting deli mirror with stream of consciousness in is a really nice plus.
will try that.
keep in mind, essence prices will be lower due to it being on map device compared to 3.20.
Yup. It works well. I've done a similar video to this for 4 leagues now. Essences in white tier maps are really good always because even if you manage to sell half of them first week of the league, that initial 100-200 chaos is enough to gear up your league starter and take you into red tier maps as long as you're playing a decent build. The rest can be sold later when the economy matures a bit.
bulk buying the maps??
Hey. Bulk buying, dropping, horizon, buying Kirac's shop. Whatever works.
I hope essences price be good at the start this league iam planning to do it too
Considering how many people are planning on playing ele bow, flat ele essences at the very least are going to be up. Pair your essence strat with harvest and you can reroll all your bad ones into good ones
However, their value may suffer since they'll be on the map device. We'll have to wait and see
I mean, worst case, you try it out for 2 hours, try to sell the essences and see what happens, right? Worst case scenario you sell half of them, buy some nice upgrades and move on to another farming strategy.
The atlas is pathing through the middle of the tree so you have access to a lot of farming starts. You only need to respec 17 points to refund all Essence Passives. You're gonna make around 200c just from the Deli Mirrors if you run this strategy for 2 hours.
what spectres r u using?
Hey. Frost Autoscouts. Can be found in Tunnels or Repository Contract.
I get that u can farm in white maps but you still have to get the atlas points no?
Takes much longer to come online
Yup. Takes a bit to come only compared to Endless heist. I'm guessing 2 extra hours for campaign and another 4 hours in maps?
@@casualdanpoe it looked like around 40 points to get the essence clusters so maybe pretty far into yellows?
@@kidzesty6303 52 Points exactly. I usually complete around 10 maps per hour at League Start. So around 5 hours to get 52 points. Took a look in game. Tier 8 maps.
@@casualdanpoe thanks that is very helpful
da da daaaaaaaaaaa
not sure why ur so hard on skipping everyhting ? normal mapping + essences + unid chaos reciepe is way more than what ur showing.
it really dosnt take much time to loot some rares and dump them into tabs and than do unid chaos reciepe.
like u really think looting essences than selling it into chaos is faster than getting straight up chaos ?
i really dont understand why ppl hate chaos reciepe so much :3
Hey. You can also run them your way if you plan on using the chaos recipe tool.
I like running them like this because even if the layout of the map is a bit hard to understand, you can take a look at the minimap and see the Essence.
Ce iti mai place sa te joci cu o armata de minioni ^^
what about map sustain?
Hey. Made 62 maps back (check spreadsheet). Map sustain in white tier maps is not punishing. Most of the maps were dropped from map bosses.
Didn't show them since the loot fit well into a single tab.
@later edit. You want to run this strategy after you get 50+ Points on your Atlas. So you're gonna have enough extra maps by that point. If you get unlucky with maps (hasn't happened to me so far, but who knows) you can buy Kirac's shop. Since we are going for the map boss, you're also gonna get Kirac Missions and his shop refreshes after a mission. White maps in Kirac's shop cost chance orbs.
@@casualdanpoe what i am trying to say is that you will not be able to sustain the same map (Atoll) as the drop will be random and early in the league you will not have many favourite maps, hence impacting the end results
@@dagutten Ah yes. But you can horizon them. Horizon are not that expensive at the start of the league. There are multiple good layouts for each map tier.
Good layouts for 3.21:
Tier 1 good layouts: Alleyways, Collonade, Scriptorum (75% chance)
Tier 2 good layouts: Dunes, Stagnation, Excavation, Belfry, Grotto (50% chance)
Tier 3 good layouts: Overgrown Shrine, Strand, Infested Valley, Primordial Pool, Fields (62.5% chance)
Tier 4 good layouts: Cemetery, Lighthouse, Port, Tower (50% chance)
Tier 5 good layouts: Atoll, City Square, Marshes, Arcade, Residence (62.5 chance)
It's looking ok so far. Can also upgrade 3 to 1, buy from Kirac and so on. Should work.
Wait.. heist gone????
Hey. Endless Heist. People were deleveling themselves to keep buying contracts from Whakano. Book of Regression has been removed from the game.
ENDLESS HEIST GONE?
Yup. Book of regression has been removed.
Not really a definitive replacement for endless heist. Especially since most people farm essences anyway and don't buy early on in the league.
For myself anyway, the point of endless heist at league start is to farm chaos vendor recipe, easy currency and and reveals.
Also since you're ignoring trash, you're also missing out on getting chaos recipe pieces. Not really a smart idea at league start.
This is bottom scraper strat. doing this will only feed other people.
Nobody care about esssences everybody doing this and there will be also kirac essences for 3 chaos, so its useless for next league and bait like always everything on youtrashtube
"nobody cares about essences".. "everybody is doing this".. which is it?
