Damn. Embarrassing I'm the last 3 comments here but... I started swapping out the 2 Scarab of Essences with 2 Scarabs of Adversaries. I'm averaging about 40 collected Deafening essences per map. That's before upgrading any of the shrieking I've found. I've had 3 out of maybe 8 maps drop over 50 deafenings. Really love this strat!

A few tips for the interested to boost the calcification scarab even further: - make map blue and reroll with alternation orbs until you get the +rare mobs modifier - take the Eternal Torment node on atlas - if you have the lantern window open, use Allflames to give monster pack leaders if they have none Be sure your char can handle strong bosses, because you get a lot more essence modifiers on your bosses.

League mechanics don't work with Calcification, but Masters do, Einhar's Beasts could be sometimes turned into essences long before 3.24, I believe the sulphite-hoarding monsters that spawn near Niko's Sulphite node with Guarded Hoards also can be turned into essences so there's an alternative if You don't like running Alva

Most map mods won't affect how many rares are in your map, just the amount of stuff they drop and how dangerous they are. Essence drops don't scale with quantity or rarity, so you don't need to Alch or Chisel unless you want other mobs in the maps to drop more stuff.

Hey hey! Gladly switched to your strategy, feels good so far, very chill. But ran into a problem: i can't get any value out of alva's temple bp. I checked many guides how to run it, i memorize needed rooms, always connecting as much as possible rooms through the temple, i understand swap and upgrade room part. But i failed like 8+ temples already, am i stupid retard or something? I tried swapping all rooms, tried upgrading all rooms(when no needed rooms to chose), tried mixing it. No matter what, i don't get needed room more than once per temple, ends up with t2, even when i have t1 of needed room already at starting fresh temple. Is there a way to navigate to needed room to upgrade it that im not aware of or is it completely random?

[@PathofEvening]

It's random. Sometimes it's just like that. Luck always swings back in your favor eventually!

[@i8ssrat]

I use the incursion section of docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fIs8sdvgZG7iVouPdtFkbRx5kv55_xVja8l19yubyRU/htmlview# and usually get 1 of the top three to 3. Also I usually go to the right even on the ones that are not good unless going to the left switches the temple to one of the top ones. Because it has a good chance of getting an extra level and then it will not appear when you go for the next map.

[@nathanielnizard2163]

Why do you take the essence nodes at the bottom left? Doesn't more essences per monolith mean less chance to duplicate the deafening one on the boss, which is what matters?

Crystal Resonance changes the way that Remnants of Corruption function. They cannot convert Purple Essences into Corrupted Essences while that passive is selected, but it significantly increases the amount of Essences you get throughout each map by adding them onto the map boss.

As long as you have at least 92% chance for Alva to spawn in maps from your Atlas tree, she should spawn in every map. The only reason she wouldn't appear is if she has a temple ready to run. Putting her beside your stash so you don't miss when she has a temple ready can be helpful.

A few questions, does rolling more rare monsters, twin bosses generate more essences, and does rolling on higher tier maps generate more higher tier essences? Also, have you tried the ghosted rogue/unique scarabs that pairs with ritual and blood vessels or is that just streamer bait?

[@PathofEvening]

More rare monsters will, twin bosses will not. Higher-tier maps will not affect the tier of Essences. Farming Rogue Exiles is a good strategy, but because it's so well-known by this point, the cost of running it is pretty high and that means the profit margin is probably a good bit less than it was when it first started blowing up. That's how the PoE economy goes!

Maybe it is due to this strategy becoming more popular, but Scarab of Calcification are insanely expensive right now (april 9). Also scarab of adversaries are around 5c each right now.

An increase in popularity will increase the cost and decrease the profit margins on any strategy that involves trading, but costs aren't significantly increased.

Most likely just bad RNG if you're using the Essence Scarabs of Calcification & 2 Scarabs of Adversaries.

i have one main question how much you can scale this down price wise. you recommend pretty expensive scarabs (at least for me). So for a person who has lets say 200c total and a build which can barely complete a t16 map is this even viable? I'm a new player and i don't have much so not sure how to judge this. Fully juiced version looks like it requires a very strong build and a lot of starting capital. Is a boss with 10 essences on it even killable for a regular player?

[@PathofEvening]

You don't need to run t16 maps, only t6 maps, so a boss with a large number of essences is probably not that different from a t16 boss. Doing this as a cheaper strategy, using only regular Essence Scarabs and one Essence Scarab of Ascent will yield fewer Essences per map, but also fewer Essences on the boss, so it will be easier. Running Alva just to make temples is also a really good strategy when you're flat broke, as the only startup costs Atlas Passives and maps.

[@Errughor]

@@PathofEvening i didn't mean running these on t16 just to explain a power level of a newbie player since a lot of the farm videos i encounter on KZbin are made by players with insane builds where they run 50 maps in 2 hours when i can manage 10 per hour, but you answered that thank you.

Seems like recent patch killed the interaction of calcification scarab and alva's incursions, so the strategy suffers a lot. But we have the new scarab now. An update needed fot the strategy. It has provided some good currency for me since 1st week of the league and I want to adapt to new patch

[@PathofEvening]

Yup, its time for an update!

[@datonedumbasian4919]

prices are over 75c per its about 87c to 101c, though realistically you would have to buy it at around 97c a pop now, i don't have the spreadsheet so idk if this is even still worth it or not at the time of writing this comment,

[@PathofEvening]

If you buy them for divines, they are substantially cheaper in bulk than buying bulk in chaos. You can buy them at a price of .5 divines each in decent supply, pretty readily. Even if the price of Calcification scarabs were 1 Div a pop, the profit would still be around 140c per map.

[@megadoodoo5088]

0.7-0.8D in bulk, you will have to buy it 1 by 1 if you want it to be cheaper. The margin is okay, but dealing with bunch of trash essences is painful. I like to just calculate things that u could liquidate within an hour

[@yassuosekai4221]

which map tier should i choose?

[@PathofEvening]

t6 is the easiest. Doing higher levels will increase the difficulty, but won't increase the rewards from Essences, so you don't really need to go above t6 unless there's a map you prefer at a higher level.

[@WrathGhost]

23:00 so I wasn't tripping, I've lost several 5/6 essence mobs because I was messing around with aflames and never realized that is what caused the bug.

[@PathofEvening]

Tried another Syndicate essence to check, and that one also did the same thing, so at minimum, Syndicate essences are bugged. That could apply to others, too. Not worth testing!

how do you get your flasks used and regenerated like this with no mageblood :O

[@PathofEvening]

Pathfinder Ascendancy & The Tides of Time belt. It's arguably on par with MB for Pathfinders because it works with unique flasks like Taste of Hate and Progenesis.

[@remus6846]

@@PathofEvening mb with unique flasks is insane i have to try it before they nerf it

[@DavidSmith-pg1ob]

There are flask enchantments for utility flasks that make them auto-use when they are full, and then you roll them for either increased charge recovery, or gain XX charges when you crit if you are a crit build.

[@fate0521]

Excellent video and breakdown, I've been wanting to do some essences but was scared off earlier by the calcification price. Something a lot of people don't consider is ease of liquidation. I've been doing well on blight but it's hard to sell everything whereas essences you can unload very quickly after your session.

[@PathofEvening]

Glad it was helpful!

[@timvanloo6]

Does this still work? It seems like the essences are worth almost nothing.

[@PathofEvening]

Markets fluctuate a lot, but this strat is from 3 weeks ago. Try one of the newer ones we posted.

im still on the mid build and struggling with the dps. love your updates tho.

[@PathofEvening]

Just gotta keep upgrading gear and skill gems! Glad to help!

[@diegogarber1]

Btw do you stream?

[@PathofEvening]

Not at the moment. Sometimes we stream during WoW raid progression, but not PoE.

[@landrewb]

You don't corrupt Misery Dread Scorn Envy?

[@PathofEvening]

It doesn't upgrade them to the corruption-only Essences, it converts all Essences to one of the type that's already on the monster.

Primarily using the Very Strict filter, but here's all of them: www.filterblade.xyz/Profile?name=Llarold&platform=pc

[@Tonyslyxxlyaa]

You could also roll maps with alterations untill you get area contains two unique bosses, that will boost the essence drops per map by alot!

[@PathofEvening]

Extra bosses causes Essences to split evenly among them, it doesn't duplicate the Essences. This would make killing the bosses easier, but not any more rewarding.

[@Tonyslyxxlyaa]

@@PathofEvening are you 100% sure of that? i feel like i get way more drops if the bosses are duplicated. feels like the essence from the original bosses are just duplicated, im getting 2x stacks of almost every essence from the bosses.

Yup.

[@SlayzerEx]

Calcification Scarabs are kind of expensive for me right now. Can this strategy be done without them while still maintaining good profits?

[@PathofEvening]

You can do the regular version of Essence farming, which is just an Essence Scarab of Ascent & regular Essence Scarabs for all the other slots. It won't be as good, but it will be cheaper. You can run Alva at the same time, since her temples have skyrocketed in price, but Essence monsters won't spawn inside them without Calcification.

[@SlayzerEx]

@@PathofEvening Thank you for the info and fast answer. Do you bulk buy the essences somewhere because getting them one by one is such a pain. I havent played PoE in a long while.

[@PathofEvening]

The Bulk Item Exchange tab on the trade site is really helpful for this.

[@SlayzerEx]

I will try that thanks. One last question. How many Divines/Hour do you think would this version earn?

[@PathofEvening]

Haven't tested it in the current state of the economy, couldn't give an accurate answer.

[@qqqr-xu8ir]

i invested 20 maps after finished i earned 21D, minus cost 11D which profit 10D. Am i doing something wrong?

[@PathofEvening]

The league economy has gone through a couple of massive shocks in the past week, and it's a live-service game, so things are always in flux. Maybe you had a bit of a low roll on your Essence drops, maybe they're slightly undervalued, or it could be a little of both. Be sure to include the value of any Alva temples you create, as well. Locus of Corruption prices have skyrocketed in the past week.

[@qqqr-xu8ir]

@@PathofEvening Alright noted, Thanks!

[@PathofEvening]

No prob

[@StyleOFBeyond]

how i can sustain my map where i want to farm

[@thatguyb-rad8201]

You can progress your Atlas and unlock Favorite Maps (left hand side of the map page). That will progressively weight your map drops to be that map. Before that though, you'll probably have to buy them if you want to keep repeating the same map.

[@PathofEvening]

That works. You can use Horizon Orbs to reroll maps to ones of that tier, too.

[@chesterxp508]

GoodJob!

Thanks!

[@Phantoms3709]

@@PathofEvening also would you run singular focus, and what map would you favor

[@sammu8603]

Try the memories. If you corrupt the rouge exiles they dupe :)

[@PathofEvening]

True, that is far and away the best strategy for farming corrupted Essences now. The downsides are that it costs about 150c per memory and supplies are not huge, so that could go higher if there's a rush to buy. Also, it won't generate as many regular Essences since you can't use Alva or Mirrored Rare Scarabs to force an extra ~24 Essences into each map. And finally, the Rogue Exiles are scary. With that being said: It's a good strat, and you can just run the maps white to reduce the danger from the Essence mobs.

[@petestrouse7411]

Any chance you're a fan of Ed Bolian of Vinwiki fame? I see you fancy yourself a "shrewd negotiator."

[@PathofEvening]

We've never heard of him lol

[@Comuniou956]

How many Atlas Points are necessary to start with that strategy you would say?

[@PathofEvening]

The scarabs, shrines, and Niko are not crucial, more just icing on the top. You can probably get this going with around 100 points.

[@panzerswineflu]

Oof i remember the raid boss essences in kaladra? Hearing essence stacked bosses scares me

[@PathofEvening]

They were the stuff of nightmares, just like Kalandra League.

@@PathofEvening now I think about it I had to abandon maps this league getting through atlas because bosses had warlords grip or such and one shot my RF build

[@jordanharrison8769]

Just a note. Don’t use tower for this Strat. Learned the hard way that Brutus and shav will split the essences, but they will only drop from one of them. So you’ll deal with the buffed boss, and get none of the reward.
