Essence Farming Strategies: Calcification and Corrupted Essences

Corrupted Essence farming offers lucrative returns, especially in tier 16 maps, countering the current calcification meta.

### Meta Strategies for Essence Farming
Essence farming is currently dominated by the calcification and adaptation combo, with calcifications in high demand. The essence of Horrors has had a unique price trajectory, creeping up due to the disincentivization of using remnants of corruption. Farming corrupted essences with a stability scarab and an ascent scarab offers a viable alternative to the calcification strategy, while the dynamic between normal and corrupted essences' prices plays a crucial role in their demand.

### Maximizing Currency in Tier 16 Maps
Having a strong character can make tier 16 maps less intimidating, as they still allow for one-shotting essences. Running tier 16s can increase divines per hour by 25-30% through additional rewards like scarabs and tier 17 map drops. The strategy also offers the potential for valuable items and unique traders, making it a lucrative option for currency accumulation.

### Farming Corrupted Essences Efficiently
The strategy involves farming corrupted essences from scorn, envy, misery, and dread, using a tier 16 map for optimal loot. Chisels may not be necessary for this method, and stability scarabs are key to the process. The approach focuses on global rewards and offers a fast-paced way to accumulate random loot and essences.

### Chilling Farm Strategy for Passive Income
The farm strategy involves quickly running maps and pressing altars for passive income, with a focus on collecting essences. The process is RNG-based, with players dropping one to two corrupted essences on average per map. Adjusting the filter to prioritize essences and considering divination cards on the map can further enhance the farming experience.

### Corrupting Essences: A Lucrative Strategy
The speaker has had success with a specific boss dropping valuable items and fracturing orbs. They emphasize the importance of a well-geared character for tackling tier 16 maps and the tight loot distribution. The pricing of corrupted essences is influenced by the meta, and the speaker suggests converting them for better results and to balance the market.

### Trading Strategies and Market Dynamics
The trading ratio has recently shifted from 5 to 1 to 6 to 1, with potential profits from sacking trades. Combining trading strategies with calcifications has been less effective due to their high cost. Corrupted essences are in high demand this league, with players actively buying them up.
