Thanks for watching our channel!

I haven't skipped a season in years. I skipped 3.24 and spent today going "WTF is going on?". Glad I found your video. I had no idea they changed essences last league lol. Thanks man!

Glad to help!

[@PathofEvening]

Update: Racecourse Map (native T7) is GOATED for this strategy.

[@jerome6897]

why? thanks.

last league i farmed tons of essences on tower map before realising i was losing at least half my essences on the boss lol, glad your spreading awareness

[@PathofEvening]

Yup, it's pretty rough!

[@Bonispoints]

3:30 How do you "Run Essence in the Map Device"? It is not an option for me and I did not notice anything on your tree that would allow for this?

[@PathofEvening]

You need to complete more map bonus objectives.

[@taffareltokuta6842]

>>> In normal maps, I got around 20 monsters trapped in essences. In a rolled rare map, I got around 30 ~ 35 monsters.>> #% increased number os Rare Monsters

[@PathofEvening]

Interesting! Sounds like it's worth the effort to roll them if you're willing to do it!

[@dhfjskrutie]

How do you sustain your maps when you run this strategy? Do you just run any T6+ maps as long as they are not rolled?

[@PathofEvening]

Pretty much. You can bounce around between any maps, although beware of maps with bad bosses, such as Estuary.

[@gimbaragno21]

I usually have fun running essences every league. It's a very chill strat and makes lot of divs,expecially at this point of the league where most of the big players are crafting. Always buy 100 scarab of each and sell in bulk on tft after the whole farm. Usually farm all maps in 5 hours with a net profit of 80/90 divs depending on the rngesus. Also prefere to run t16 strand. Very linear,2 bosses so the mods on the boss split and make them less dangerous and u also get to drop some divs or valdos that are always welcome. Today's total farm is 87 divs of essences,7 raw divs and 5 valdos that are worth 1.5 each

[@gimbaragno21]

Basically 100.5 divs in almost 6 hours of farm(16.6 d/h)

[@PathofEvening]

Not bad!

[@pawsup93]

what are the other maps with multiple bosses?

[@PathofEvening]

Promenade, Racecourse, City Square, Plateau, Strand

[@denisismail4540]

now that we have 6 map slots is there a change in the scarabs we use for better profit?

[@PathofEvening]

Just more essence scarabs, nothing fancy.

[@Erick-dc4do]

hey! nice tips from the video, but i would like to know something: Do you upgrade essences in your stash tab? or should you sell the essences as they drop?

[@PathofEvening]

Upgrade them.

[@Neurogauntlet]

How or what contracts/blueprints do you sell with heist? I try to use awakened poe trade to price check them but it just doesn't show me anything.

[@PathofEvening]

Low-level contracts and blueprints really don't sell, and selling them one-by-one is pretty annoying. Running them yourself is not bad, but otherwise you can do Essence/Bestiary instead.

[@crazy75able]

@@PathofEvening is it better now to run high level blueprints? It didnt matter before the alternative gem rework

[@supetis8576]

Hey great video it has helped me a lot in getting started with currency. I have one question, i started running calcification scarab now and noticed that some monsters do not have a deafening essence on them, would you know if its a bug or im doing something wrong?

[@PathofEvening]

If you're using Ascent scarabs and doing t6 maps or better, that would be a bug.

[@supetis8576]

@@PathofEvening yes all of them were t6 promenades and consistently many monsters were not having deafening essences or having bunch of weeping, so ascent scarab wasnt applying to them, and considering how expensive calcification scarabs are idk how worth it is doing. I did around 20 maps with calcification (small sample i know) and didnt make that much profit

[@ernoti]

Why do you havepoints on exarch if you gonna run T6 or T7 maps?

[@PathofEvening]

Was playing with it in higher-tier maps, but there's no point. Changed the tree in the description.

[@angelo2268]

I tested the scarab of calcification strat you mentioned with a few maps and seemed to break even. The price of the calcification scarab might be too high rn. All the essence-imprisoned monsters that the adversary + calcification added usually only had 1-2 essences on them so it didn't seem to stack up too too much. However the boss at the end dropped way more essences. However I think the added essences from the boss only really made up the cost for the scarabs to pay into the strat. A basic strategy still works great though! Also, I was wondering why you don't take the small remnant of corruption passives on the wheel. Do the added remnans have a chance to take away or overwrite what would otherwise be an essence? Otherwise it seems like it only adds something you can sell. Great guide!

[@PathofEvening]

That is correct on the remnants. They're actually kinda bad in a normal essence strat now.

[@angelo2268]

@@PathofEvening Wait, correct in what way? That they replace essences on a creature?

[@crazy75able]

Isnt it better to corrupt essences than use the crystal resonance? You get like +10c per corrupt while only like +2 per crystal resonance essence

[@PathofEvening]

You get far more consistent currency from CR than corruptions.

[@NathanPsprague]

I league started with boneshatter jugg. Do you think this build can handle this strat?

[@izeculd8828]

boneshatter jug can handle anything that doesnt stop regen. but it is not strong in mechanics that spread alot, like legion for example

[@PathofEvening]

Correct.

[@Xingyang-i8o]

thank you for the video is there way to sustain maps yourself? thank you

[@PathofEvening]

The easiest way is just to unsocket your Voidstones if you have them already and favorite the maps you want to run.

[@rochaum]

You can also add a cartogrophy scarab since now we have 6 slots on the map device

[@kennethnoisewater4423]

[@xLadranix]

No, as mentioned in the video

[@PathofEvening]

Getting a Phys Taken as Ele implicit on your chest is huge. Getting Vaal Molten Shell and hooking it up to CWDT so it will proc the regular version, and you can still use the Vaal version as an extra defensive CD for more on-demand tankiness. Recoup is a really underrated stat to look for on rings and jewels, too.

Hi, nice video. Would you recommend this atlas tree for a beginner? This is only the 2nd time I've reached maps.

[@fkbf161]

Hello, i follow your channel since 3.25 and its very very good! Thank you for the good content keep up. Its very good structured, time stamps, clear voice, good beginner and medium explanations. I like it a lot. Do you stream on twitch? i would love to sub there with my prime to somewhat support your channel :). My build is very strong right now so i tried to juice out essence as much as possible. My plan was to essence+beast+rogue exiles with calcification to turn all those rares into essence. Scarab of adversaries give 4 rares, beastiary scarab of the herd give 5, both limit to 2, so i decided to go beastiary to get +1 rare. ofc combined with ascent scarab in the end. My conclusion. Sadly it does not work. 1. rogue exiles are not imprisoned so its out. 2. Beasts gets imprisoned but they wont benfit from the ascent scarab which makes it very bad, additionaly it takes way to much time to kill them because einhar needs to channel his capture animation, and then no deafening on top of it. I wonder if the essence scarab of adaptation would solve the problem of Beast not getting ascent scarab benefit. Imagine normal essence give their deafning to the beasts which have non would add up. And there is a map mod which increases the number of rare monsters, so we could roll for this. Do you got any theory or real endgame setup to juice even more? Einhar Memories seem bad too because deafening are rare since atlas tree is not applying. And on tft bulk sell most want only deafening. edit: i tried out essence of adaptation with beasts. Even more terrbile, additionaly i noticed beasts are not only wont get the ascent scarab applied they also do not apply the their essence to the boss. My End conclusion would be: Going Atlas with essence + shrine&niko to boost speed (maybe add in heist but only for huk and use a haste aura for example - low tier contracts are worth nothing later in the league). For Scarabs: use Ascent, Calcification, 2 Adversaries (caped to 2) and 1 normal essence scarab. Last season one could add in beasts to fish for the red beasts which are worth some currency but since Calcification would transform them to imprisoned monsters which got mainly low essences on them and take a lot of time to kill (capture animation + no cull) + we wont to white maps anymore beacuse of changes so beast pool increased. I think its not worth anymore, better focus on only essence and blast the maps fast.
