Okay, guys, it's time to invest in our Maps. Welcome back, everybody, to the next episode, Season 2, Episode 4 of Base or Cringe Atlas Strat Testing Shenanigans. Today, we're going big. We're going big or going home. We are going to invest like a Divine into every map and see if that's worth it. We're going to run Deli. I bought 150 skittering Deli orbs. These are like 40 to 50c each, and we're going to put three on every map. We're going to run with two delirium scarabs of mania, two breach scarabs, and one monstrous lineage. And we're also going to put breach on the map. Unfortunately, I also bought a divine's worth of skittering incubators, which is like nothing in terms of investment compared to the actual cost of the maps, but we're going to incubate all our gear, including the trinket slot, with skittering incubators. We're putting all the eggs into one basket and farming.

scarabs so that other people can farm Scarab Maps. You know, we're trying to supply the Scarab Market. We're going to try to get a lot of Deli rewards popped in the map. Tropical island is a nice layout. High mob count here is our tree. It's a full Deli tree with breaches. We're actually going left side this time. We're adding Beyond. We're adding ritual chance because it's a very point-efficient way to put even more mobs into your map. We're adding red alters with all the downsides. Maybe we'll die, who knows. But the deli can't run out because it's orbed, so we have multiple portals. We don't have to keep up with the mirror. We're taking every increased effect of mods. We don't care about quant. This is a loot tile strat, so all we care about is p size. So increased effect of mods is good because that's scaling not just the quantity to about the pack size of the map. So putting in more monsters to reach

higher dealer rewards, and we have some Scarab nodes. We have some breach nodes. We have the boss gives you an extra reward at the end, so everything ticks up by one. We have progress faster, and then we have two of these scabs for a 100% faster, 200% faster fi rate on the rewards, and um, no shrines this time, only one free Shrine with no effect. So I'm going to miss my Shrine friends, but uh, we're going all out. How much did the character cost so far? 180 div. I'll be checking gold as always. Why not 50 map SLE size? Let's orb these Maps. I rolled the maps with chisel, which chisel doesn't really matter, it's just Quant, but since we're investing a Divine into every map, might as well add the four CHS as four C, and then I rolled them to 25 or higher pack size. Half of them are like 28 or higher, and a third of them are 30 or higher, so it's actually pretty

high high back size had to roll probably like three four five times on average per map. It's like one scene rolling with like scour scour o not that expensive, but the expensive part comes now. 60% Delirious every map. Why 60%? I tested 80% and I can run it, but it felt a little sluggish, so I think I'm stopping at three to make it feel a little faster. Okay, and the bottom Scarab slot is a is a no mega L minus 50 to di. That's where I usually stop playing this Strat. Yeah, but we're only just getting started. 29 pack size forbidden Refuge good luck fully intubated locked in timer no it's fine. So what I do is I once the Strat is like going and I fix my filter for it and all that. I time like a 10 map session and then 5x that for the final time later cuz I do some streamer things you know sometimes random gum Buzz or I go Kings March waste my time. Okay nice Ember.

Scarab uh meteor when you use a flask. How bad is that? Okay, we're already at six rewards. I guess we'll loot later. First breach, nine rewards. Jesus Christ, what? What's the Strat? It's three orbs, sking Deli farming in tropical island with Mania and with two divines. Hello, that's the Strat. Pick up the Divine Affliction is back, guys. Okay, where's the Scarab things? Hello, I paid for this. What is that blood frenzy? Disgusting. That is disgusting. Look at that spy there. Okay, it's that. That was disgusting. Something wrong with us that we enjoy playing whatever the [ __ ] is on the screen right now. Yeah, PE players are weird. I'm weird, but that's okay. We like what we like. We know what we like, and we're not afraid to show game play. I love this game play. Crucible. I always wondered why don't they just add back the worst part of Crucible Ling, the part that everybody hated, channeling a

mechanic, and they did. They [__] did it, the mad bastards. They did it. Can you somehow take the reflecting mist out of your map to use them as an item? No. So, there are two types of reflecting mist. One is a random bench in your maps where you mouse over it, or you open it, and then you're like, Here, pick one of the two outcomes of a emulator or ring, and then you pick one, and that's it. You cannot itemize that. That's just a random encounter like an SE or whatever. You take one. The other one is an incredibly rare currency drop. I don't know the rates, probably along the lines of a Horadric lock, and that one is a really rare drop, and that just drops, and that's the one that you can use on any item to cundy it, you know? So, that's the... You cannot take out the bench one, okay? If there is like one more bridge, what is

that bird stone Prowler holy [__] he had 800 gold. Okay, Stone Prowler, Jesus, new boss leaked giant chicken. Oh, we are getting to 21 on this one, guys. Look at that, maybe, yep, we are 20, 21, boom, GG. That was a good one. Oh yeah, there's one more breach. I think we proed a bunch of extra breaches. No, no, no, no double Mana Donuts. No, did you see the two perfectly overlapping circles? Oh my God, that would, that was the 21 map or the 22 map. But there's one more breach. Hang on the comeback. There's two more breaches. What? Okay, never mind, we're getting it anyway. Alright, 21 rewards and let's open every bridge. Slam the fart and I am stuck 22. There it is, GG noobs. Okay, we're done with the 50 maps. That took a long time, holy [__], but we're done. So, I'm going to sort this stuff out and then start the pricing promto. Okay.

these are probably not worth pricing. Taking them out. I also took out all of the bad Omens. All of these were from this project, and then these are the good Omens. We'll price these. The Brilliance and the amation. Haven't found a six-link one or a white socket one. I will take out the maps now. The t16s that we farmed. There is a lot of them, so this is our sustain. We ran 50 Maps. This Is 50 maps and everything else is extra. Okay, 61, 2, 3, 4, 5, 65 extra Maps. Let's get our good friend out. 65 Maps, 325c. What about t17 Maps? We got 8, 9 of them, and these are all Abominations, which is actually not the best. 60c singles, 80c inul, so we got 720c in t17. And then we got some XP Omens. They're just 5c, but the aary ameliorations therefore for to see. So this for Omens, and then this is for

future trading goodbye Jewels. These are all the jewels I found from kis and Omni bosses, and I think none of them are good. I think they're all bad. Kavas teaching 3C. Calamitus Visions 3C. Natural Affinity 10C. Front line 4C. Interrogation. Oh, interrogation is good. That's F50 to see. All right, so we got six to see in jewels and some garbage. We'll uh, we'll V the garbage. Why not? Cold pen dead. Dead minion damage. Dead. All right, and then we got two good ones. Very cool Heist. Let's take out the [__] contracts. I'll pause again here and uh, sort and then come back when uh, the tabs are more sorted. H jingle bells, jingle bells. It's going to fit, guys. Please. Okay, guys, I have terrible news. The second quad tab or one quad tab of breach Rings is too much. Okay, so why did I loot this? So you can vender a full inventor of breach rings to get a grasping mail.

and those can have some specific mods that can only RW from that. But not only that, it's a challenge this league to vend their either LV, which is a full inventor of unique Rings, or a full inventor of brid rings for a grasping male. So, these will sell when last I checked uh 83 is 100 C per inventory and 84 is one div per inventory. The 84s can roll some higher tier stuff, so that's why I looted these. I'm going to sell these and uh that goes in the profit. So, this obviously it's easy to easier to do this if you're a streamer but I'm looking at TFT and uh this is the price. In fact, it's looking like it's one div no matter what because people are just doing the challenge now. It's looking like 1.5 two div. So, for one div these will sell but I just mentioned this on stream and this many people want to buy one. So, that's the the the demand for this for the

challenge okay they are gone. They are all gone. We sold them for 10 and a half. They have so that goes in here. Nice crazy Imperium style stuff as we describe it. Okay, sanctums gone. There's a lot of garbage in here that I kind of don't want to value, so I think we'll just take out stuff, edit manually, whatever the good stuff is here, and then we'll only value the currency and the scar up tab. This is the big one. This is really what we farmed, and we'll see if that's good enough. So let's get started here. Deception contracts are 5c each in bulk. We have 16 of them. That's 8C in deception contracts. Blueprints 20 C each on one to sell. Let's say 18 c each. We got nine 162c of blueprints. This 5c card, whatever Scout cards this is. Okay, five of them. Take that feral spur cards 35c each, and we got some simulacrums. We'll put those in.

Here we'll let wealthy exile count that we got a single memory. It's bad. It's on C. Whatever couple of deafening essences will keep the shrieking out. Even some ventor asra not enough to value. We got an mutable force which is a decent draw. It's like 70c. We got a snow blind grace 10c. Whatever. We got a six link fox shade is 1.5 dev. Not bad. 232c. Oh actually that's fine. Chaos ratio is now 161. Anything else meaningful here? This conk map. It's the only one 15c. The on ID replica dragon fangs maybe 30C. Yeah that. Oh we have an INT fracture on a good or a decent base. I 85 10y. Whatever. We'll skip it. We'll skip all of this. All right let's refresh and wealthy exile time. Actually first of all we'll take out how much we spent and we spent a lot. So skittering deli orbs three per map. So I bought them for 45C.

each some for 35, some for 40, some for 45, some for 50. I think probably about 42 each on average, let's say. So that would be 6,300 chaos on orbs. And then we roll the map a couple of times, maybe four chaos of chisels. And we put in some scarabs, so eight chaos in scarabs per map, eight chaos in scarabs, and four chaos in rolling, so 12 chaos per map, which is another 600 chaos. So we spent 6,900 chaos on this whole project. And map device also, which was 6 times 5, another 300 on the map device. So actually, we spent 7,200 chaos on the whole project. We are negative 5,300 chaos, not looking good, guys. Can we come back from this? It's time to find out wealthy Exile. So we go stash, no longer checking Kings March BC, this one, this one, and this one. Uh-oh, let's see it. Okay, guys, we made 99 divines. We are

saved holy [ __ ] how much is that 99 * 161 we made 16,000 chaos plus 15,936 so we made 10,648 chos which is 65.7 divines godamn okay saved saved by the scarabs 15 div eight div of glittering Scarab four div of Ambush Scarab three div of this Scarab three div of this of this of this lots of harbingers very good okay and that is if you sell them on the trade side if you have the gold and you sell it on the exchange it's more but we don't talk about that we always talk about the same prices however it took a long time to run this a very long time so so the per hour is going to look terrible I think however the per map over 50 Maps that's 1.3 div profit pure profit per map how long did it take to run this it took 1 hour 27 minutes to run 10 Maps 435 minutes divided by 60 that's 7.25

hours not 7 hours and 25 minutes. 7.25 hours. This is how we get these numbers because I do divide by 60, okay? So, someone was confused in the YouTube comments. So, this over 7.25 hours is 9 div an hour, which is fine, but for the difficulty of this and for the investment you're putting in, there are much better things you could be doing. Based or cringe? I don't think it's based. I don't think it's quite cringe, but it's pretty cringe. I mean, I think the best thing you can do if you have an insane character, you need to four or five orb this, and then you can run it roughly the same time, but you're getting 33 or 45% more loot in the same time, basically. If your character can do five orb or four orb the same as three orb, then that just goes up because most of the rewards here is the scarabs. That's what you're here for, and

everything else is just kind of bonus. I didn't get any lucky big job, so it's pretty consistent, and the scarabs will sell in bulk, and the scarabs will sell for more on the auction house, so not worried about that. But Expedition is still a lot better than this, provided you can do it. Oh, gold. Yes, we made 964,000 gold doing this, so the gold per map is good, but the gold per time is terrible because it takes like eight minutes to run one of these maps. So that's the gold income. That was a cool thing to test anyway. I wanted to do a deli strat at some point, couldn't do it last league, we did it this league. Hopefully, that was enjoyable or entertaining or something. Thanks for watching. See you in the next one. Bye.

Investing Big in Maps: A Strategic Approach

The plan involves investing in every map using skittering Deli orbs and incubators to farm scarabs and Deli rewards.

The strategy includes running with specific scarabs, adding Beyond and ritual chance for more mobs, and focusing on increasing the pack size for higher rewards.

The character's investment so far amounts to 180 div, with maps being rolled for higher pack sizes to maximize efficiency.

Optimizing Map Rolling and Farming Strategy

The player rolls maps multiple times, focusing on a 60% Delirious rate for efficiency.

They use a unique strategy of farming in Tropical Island with Mania and two divines, resulting in six rewards from the first breach.

The player discusses the mechanics of reflecting mist and its rare currency drop, emphasizing the randomness of the encounters.

The player successfully completed 50 maps, achieving 21 rewards and encountering multiple breaches.

They gathered a significant number of extra maps and valuable items, including T16 and T17 maps, XP Omens, and jewels.

The player is now sorting and pricing the items, with plans to vendor breach rings for a grasping mail.

The league presents a challenge to vend unique and bridged rings, with prices ranging from 100C to 1 div per inventory.

The demand for these rings is high, leading to quick sales and a profitable venture.

The player's farmed items, including deception contracts, blueprints, and a six-link fox shade, contribute to a significant profit, with a chaos ratio of 161.

The Cost and Profit of a Map Running Project

The total cost of the map running project was 7,200 chaos, resulting in a negative balance of 5,300 chaos.

However, the project was saved by making 99 divines, totaling 16,000 chaos and resulting in a profit of 10,648 chaos.

Over 50 maps, the project generated a pure profit of 1.

Analyzing Time Investment in Gaming Strategies

The speaker clarifies the confusion around calculating hours, emphasizing a 7.

They suggest that using a four or five orb strategy can yield 33-45% more loot in the same time.

Despite making 964,000 gold from the maps, the gold per time is poor, leading to the conclusion that Expedition offers a better opportunity.
