POE 3.23 - Top 8 Maps To Farm - Mageblood, Headhunter, Divine Cards, Layouts + More - Path of Exile

[@MrOtter6]

A video with really well-researched information and reasonable arguments for the ranking. Thank you Sirgog

[@bertjohnson401]

Dude, its four a.m., my beverage is coffee, and I'm a happy boy. I've been waiting for your map farm video since day 2, thank you!

[@VZPZ]

man, this league has one of the best atlases I've seen in quite a while. It was a legitimately difficult choice figuring out what map I wanted to focus on this time around!

[@odotawaissaku3755]

But no Beach 😭

[@MCoterle]

this is my most expected video every league, so good knowing which maps are best to farm

[@jasonhough2989]

Your video is amazing! Literally the best, well reasoned approach to which maps to run. You got a follow, like, comment because your content is top notch. Thanks!

[@Diconius]

ROFL I was literally searching for "Sirgog Atlas Maps PoE" expecting to find this video just last night and was uber sad that there wasn't a new one for this league. Your previous ones have been fantastic even as a SSF player. What a king. Ty sir.

[@Strickl3r]

Jungle Valley and Mesa is my rank 1 by far. The div card actually drops and the map layout is nice and not so dark(Looking at you Crimson Temple!). What more can you ask for...

[@DodderingOldMan]

You know what just about my highest priority these days is? Not being set at night. I like Dunes and Mesa just because they're bright.

[@vitaum10932]

yo bro i loove ur videos, always straight to the point and very concise, keep up the great work boss

[@FaesRollTroll]

Thank you sir for quality content

[@ZedgeEdge]

thanks bro for your time and effort

[@jasonschick8433]

very informative, great content thanks

[@MegasSalavatis]

Vaal Temples were always my secret for making money. I used to run 20-30 of them and would always hit a huge payout to fund my second build. Last league was an early 50 div +1 sock + 2 duration infernal mantle.

[@sirgog]

that's big - the key to VT farming is recognising those jackpots.

[@Swad-cf8nc]

Been running jungle and mesa nonstop with a weird wandering path,singular focus build and have been having a blast this league. Specd into expedition, blight, incursion, eater small nodes to have some of the most insane and profitable maps I have ever seen in a league. Pretty fun farming so far.

[@LC-pp4bb]

are you doing league mechanic?

thanks. Just went and did 3 burial chambers in a row and dropped 3 fortunate cards!!!!!!

[@tineye5100]

I loved Mesa during Sentinel for that reason. I see myself bouncing there and JV a lot.

[@XeroVersus]

I thought it's been confirmed a few leagues ago. The Divine Beauty drops from maps where Merveil is the boss. I was getting it from Underground Sea and Mineral Pools. Sephirot seems to come from Residence and maps where Dominus is the boss.

[@gigakid3]

Their drop locations are known, not the rates

[@dieterbohlen7951]

I would love to use info from this video but lag spikes have killed this league for me. See you in 3.24 I guess

[@sirgog]

Yeah this seems a serious problem some people but not everyone has - hopefully GGG solve it Monday

[@sulfuryos]

have you tried using vulkan or Dx12, it completely fixed lag spikes for me and instead increases the loading screens by quite a lot (a fair trade off in my opinion)

[@dieterbohlen7951]

@@sulfuryos I use Dx12, it helped last league but this league it's a mess. I can see people are more and more done, judging by steamcharts. 3.23 already reached a spot that 3.22 had after a month

[@AaronSherman]

Affliction doesn't work on Channel. I think this is because the walkways are narrow and map generation often fails to find a place to put the entrance.

[@aezyn8645]

Really interesting, thanks for compiling it all. Im still in a bit of a tight spot since im playing the Fulcrum MF Chieftain Autobomber. Need tight maps like Waste Pool but with dont want to farm Blight with MF Gear, so I guess im back to Crimson Temple for the MB

[@MrLoVeRLoVeRNr1]

What map(s) would you prefer with spark and what Atlas synergy for it, like Delirium, Beyond, blight etc

[@ray_gaming7]

Been farming T1 glacier with affliction and deli mirror, got 5 div raw drop and so much random currency, pretty nuts for 0 investment i just alch and go. So fun

[@FumaazHD]

Never in my 5-6 years of PoE have i actually farmed jungle Valley. I am playing Tornado Shot with a lil bit of MF. Can run full juiced Maps with Legion, Abyss, Harbinger and Blue Altars and 2-3k juice of each color. I have not seen so much loot and high tier drops in my PoE career before. The boss not spawning is the biggest gamechanger. Altars that literally have 75 % chance to have Quant/Rarity on them on every single altar. It is just crazy and the way how rewarding this league feels like i am curios what GGG will come up with for next League xd .. There will be NO WAY it feels as good as this league just based on drops :D

[@firelordkushroll]

I got a 3 div boss alter the other day. Was dope.

[@Lurel474]

What would an atlas layout to farm burial chambers look like?

[@FordMustang-gp5zu]

good vid sir

[@bron789]

I corpse shook the lava chambers boss and got a Divine Beauty card. Might be worth stacking the Howl of the Wolf notable with twinned bosses if someone is really set on farming those cards.

[@TheAhjax]

One thing I will say about Cemetery that maybe was "overlooked?", is that it also drops the union card. Now people might think that this isnt relevant but GCPS are very expensive and the union is quite common so you get a ton of gcps on top of the occasional 5x exalt or divine which does add up. I do very juiced enraged maps and the unions are only slightly behind in value comparetively to the amount currency you get from brothers gifts.

[@sirgog]

I'm surprised by that, was expecting you'd get only 100 of that card per Brother's Gift but each Gift should be 500-ish times the value. It's a bonus sure, but not the same as having say Seven Years Bad Luck. GCPs in Heist though... That's something else entirely

[@Machinex11]

Mr. @sirgog, do you mind quickly explaining how the favorites maps slots work? I am currently doing T7 Cemetery, unfortunately, I know you don't like it. Haha (I've never done MF before and figured that I should try it right now in this juicy league.) If I want to sustain /over sustain on Cemetery maps and I have all the favorite slots unlocked how do I go into using those slots. I think Tropical Island is right next to it and then have one or 2 slots for that? Thank you, good sir!

[@dmtripreport8542]

what map to fav with burial chambers?

[@peterheath7960]

Commenting before watchung, I like Jungle Valley for alter farming, my bet is that it is on the list.🤔

[@sirgog]

spoiler warning: you were right

[@blech71]

Sirgog is damn international treasure! Been appreciative of his content since the beginning!

[@CityOfRandomness1]

Thoughts on tropical island? Has similar cards to jungle valley.

[@LC-pp4bb]

dude please make a spreadsheet with this info!!!!!!

[@TwinTurboZach]

City Square also has 3 bosses. and Precinct can have even more, although its got a terrible layout

[@juanmarcano8700]

Do you have any atlas recomendation for this? Are there specifics depending on the maps one chooses?

[@sirgog]

I need to make a 3.24 version of this video; the one you came to via search is out of date now. I'd be inclined to put Crimson Temple high up in that list though, as well as all five of the T17s (if you can beat them), and some of the super fast to full clear T16 layouts like Strand.

[@juanmarcano8700]

@@sirgog is so much information is really hard to keep up with all the changes at once, if my first time ever getting this deep into late game (currently at t16s) and I'm looking into farming and maybe crafting cluster jewels, for me and maybe some profit but I have no idea on what to do, how to do it and what to look for, since all of the other videos I've found about it is either super expensive or outdated info, anyways, pretty good content dude probably one of the most in depth poe content out there and also simplifying complex info to a really comprehensible thing 👍

How would you go about sustaining burial chambers

[@CrazyBob2100]

when you mentioned destructive play you said youll be favoring 8 other maps, do you have any suggestions for what other maps would work well with it? im playing dd for the first time and destructive play is fun with it. thanks for the video!

[@haeilsey]

if you've got good damage, maps with multiple bosses help a lot. this means especially maps like city Square and racecourse. look up what used to be good maps for Metamorph for more ideas. more bosses means more boss drop maps

[@CrazyBob2100]

@@haeilsey thanks dog appreciate it

[@AESD2500]

Hey I'm definitely missing something important here, what do you mean here 9:50 ? Why do I have to kill the boss every 28 maps? I've played for a few years now but not super hardcore (I get about 40-60 total divines a league) but I've never heard that before...

[@sirgog]

Oh it's for your Exarch or Eater invite to drop. T14+ only, and only for those influences.

[@GoncaloCosta123]

If you're farming altars you need to kill the boss to drop the invitations every 28 maps.

[@AESD2500]

Ahh that makes sense, so it still stacks up the maps even while not killing the boss but will only drop the invite itself once you kill the boss. Cool good to know, cheers. :)@@GoncaloCosta123

[@terradraco1312]

I have doubts for sephirot drops being only from map bosses as this league i droped them randomly in midle of map - one in jungle valey and one in burial chambers.

[@sirgog]

Blue altars? There's an Eldritch minion mod that can drop it on any map (very rarely)

[@seansingh6029]

Wouldn’t yellow juice from league mechanic help for div card farming because it increases quantity? I thought that was one of the main important stats for such farming

[@sirgog]

I haven't found yellow juice to be all that good so far, except when balanced with the other types. I generally want a mixture with the mechanic. It is +loot, but just doesn't seem to be as much as, say, Sentinels buffed zone-specific card drops.

[@Buschkopf111]

@sirgrog is the new "I see brothers" card not of note ? it gives 2 fracturing orbs and seems to drop form twin bosses, like strand and actons nightmare ?

[@Buschkopf111]

sorry, didnt finish watching before asking :S

[@sirgog]

In the absence of more info on drop rates I'm considering it a minor factor. If it's way more common than expected, yeah, but I expect 1 per 1000 maps or so.

[@avernus_a3]

Multiple bosses on Glacier? Isn't that the one with the big hopping goat? Are those small other unique goats that spawn before him count as "map bosses"? Or just mentioned as being unique monsters?

[@sirgog]

Yeah I should be more precise - it's more unique monsters that matter. Bad terminology on my part.

[@avernus_a3]

@@sirgog Not a problem, I was curious because if so City Square or similar maps would have been better.

Can you link/name the discord server that's optimising vaal temple strats?

[@sirgog]

It's called "Vaal Temple Farmers". Not really my baby to invite people to, but hopefully not hard to find.

[@FalleNDragonn]

Nimis card isnt a good choice there? My build need it and idk if i keep doin it or change for a more realistic card drop like 'the fortunate'

[@sirgog]

Drop rate isn't known all that well, but seems 3-4 times that of Apothecary - which is too low to justify it in trade. Fortunate works better, or Brother's Gift, or ... Burial Chambers.

[@FalleNDragonn]

@@sirgog ok, im not in SSF to hunt Nimis, so i will try a 'better' way to farm for it. tyvm

[@sirgog]

@@FalleNDragonn Yeah I'd shift to Burial Chambers. You might hit a Doctor (probably not, but you might) and you have The Fortunate as well which seems to drop more than forty times as often as Fire of Unknown Origins. If you do hit a Doctor, that's 4½ of the cards you want.

[@petrjara7559]

C Temple has a bit worse layout than BC... but there are no damn Fing doors What a pain in this game. There would be like 2 Primal ascendancy players if that warcry notable opened doors instead of chests lol

[@Stat5]

So is it best to favourite a map 12 times or should i split it up?

[@sirgog]

I'd go 11x your favorite and 1x an adjacent map you don't hate (if you have under 12 favorite maps, all but one and 1)

[@oomeoo93]

can the map boss cards be juiced by the league mechanic or nah?

[@Kinada]

Nothing boosts them, they are not a quantity based drop.

[@peekays]

I could never recommend crimson temple personally, the apothecary drop rate is way too abysmally low. For anyone thinking of running it, think how many maps you'd be running in say a week, and go to mapofexile and see the apoth drop rate. I'm 500 maps in with a mf build, beyond deli scarabs and sextants, and not getting a single card feels absolutely horrible.

[@sirgog]

This is the tyranny of variance. Now that Headhunter has taken over from Mageblood as the top price belt (wasn't true when this was posted) CT has fallen way off. It's still the case that the drop rate is about 1/160 of that of The Fortunate, for a card that's worth more than 200 Fortunates - and this is the cheapest Mageblood has ever been. That said - right now with HH worth more than Mageblood - Burial is where it is at if you are picking for cards, and it's less close than it was at recording.

[@dumbgames4933]

Good Atlas this league, despite t16 being blegh

[@craigsafford9737]

why kill the boss on burial chambers every 28th map im lost

[@sirgog]

To claim your boss invitation (Eater or Exarch); I should have made that clearer. You don't miss out entirely if you forget on run 28, you just don't earn the invite until you do kill a T14+ boss under that influence.

[@JavierCasanova25]

i got i see brothers from canyon bosses

[@spacelord1913]

wait - map quant doesnt affect boss drops??

[@sirgog]

Boss exclusive cards are weird. I suggest you test this in Waste Pool as the map boss has an ultra-common div card (Doedre's Madness) - it feels like about a 50% drop rate, no matter whether the map is scoured or juiced to the moon. Drop rate is high enough that it would be over 100% with winged scarabs, but you never, ever see 2 of that card drop.

[@spacelord1913]

interesting - nothing should surprise me in poe anymore@@sirgog

[@jannol1269]

Where is strand? Its THE best fast map. Some leagues require you to be done with the map asap and dont care about layout. When 5 of 8 maps are there mostly becouse of divination cards, I can see your priorities. Most people are not making money by finding cards. Most people get money by doing leagues. This video should reflect that. Magic finders care about cards. Blight cares about tight corridors for single chest strategy. Expedition and legion love open layouts like dunes. Heist and all masters love shorts maps where you can have it done quick. Some strategies care about monster count per map - this are mostly altar strategies. Basic delirium farmers require maps that only push forward with no backtracking. Beyond requires monster density. This video could be done much better if you considered best maps based more about layout than about cards. There are some you talked about, but its not enough. This way people will give priority to ,,maybe get a card´´ over being 20% more efficient thanks to better layout for their strategy. Also making tier list of maps is wrong. This is becouse every league has its top map. If you do tier list of maps and put on top map with good cards, its like saying that magic find is the best strategy for currency. I can gurantee you that I am able to make 1 divine per map without magic finding and it would be horrible in your ,,best map´´. You cant say ,,this is the top map´´ without saying for what situation... But it is still a decent video. Gives a lot of information and I cant expect other people to do videos the way I would be doing it. Maybe next time try to think more about things. If you say things with absolute value like: this is the best. You have to be sure if that is true or instead say: this is great. This way you have more wigle room and give people reason to search for the best themselfs. This way they have a chance to actualy find the best map rather than doing the map you told them to. Edit: I got a lot of criticism. Most comments suggest that I got people angry which was not my intention. My intention was to point out certain things that didnt make sense to me. Even though I dont consider the video good enough, it did bring a lot of value and I am happy that it exists. For example I could put out my own video, but I didnt, sirdog did. I consider sirdog a good content creator and love the amount of videos he puts out. I dont know about anyone from poe community who does so many videos and talks in depth about stuff. If you feel like I am wrong, you can do the same to me and write critisism as well. I dont like it, but I want to know when I am wrong.

[@mewch]

Pls delete

[@sirgog]

Dunes is just Strand/Port/Alleyways but better now. Comparably open, similar time to clear, but about one in 8 or so maps unjuiced (no MF, just alch and go), you get a big bonus drop. If you are purely bossrushing, Mesa is better than any of the hyperlinear maps. And you'd run Foundry over Strand too, it's way better if your goal is 'get in, kill boss, get out'. That's what cards do for non-juicers. Obviously, juicers and MFers get more. Strand is solidly top 20 based on having a good layout but no other things pulling you towards it, but its a considerable loss of loot to downgrade from Dunes to it, IMO. If I See Brothers turns out more common than expected (e.g. if it's 1 per 300 maps instead of the speculated ~1 per 900) then that free few chaos per map will make Strand better.
