[Music] All right, okay, it's 3.25. We're in the early stages of Settlers of Calgar. Everybody's doing Blight. Blight feels great. Blight feels awesome. And a lot of people have been asking, even right now while recording this, I'm getting asked by tons of people, How do you do Blight? What's the easiest way to do it? Is there a beginner guide? Can you walk me through it? So we're going to do it again. We're going to make the ultimate beginner guide to Blight. We're going to pretty much just updated 3.25, and we're going to call it good. So this is how we do it and how we work it currently. Blight as a beginner is relatively easy and shouldn't be difficult. We're actually going to take our rings off for this too so we can make it even more simple as possible. Hi, Mom. Um, sorry, Mom, but anyways, what we're going to do is it doesn't matter what tier Blighted map you get. Period. Ever. Period. It doesn't matter.

you can run any of them, as long as you are able to run a blighted map. And this is how we're going to do it because we're beginners, and because we don't know what we're doing, and we want to make this as simple as possible. We're just going to take a tier 16 blighted map, and we're going to put it in our little oil window. We're going to take three Amber oils. The reason why we do Amber oils is it reduces the cost of building of the towers by 75%, which makes it super, super, super easy, super chill, super down to earth, and it makes us not, not have to think, not have to worry, not have to do anything. If you are more experienced, or you don't need Amber oils, or your character can kill, and your character can do damage, there's a lot of combinations you could do. These verdant oils for experience gain, you can do teal oils for the map cut down to be cut down in half, you can do Crimson oils for

chest are lucky you can go cheaper for chest. They lucky again. Me personally, I run Amber oils 90% of the time. As soon as my character can one-tap the whole screen and explode with ignites, or explode with proliferates, or explode with poisons, or explode with bleeds, or do anything that explodes multiple screens and kills everything, I immediately swap the heals. I'm a big fan of maps per hour. You see, right now I have a ton of maps. I'm going to literally run them all. All TI of bled maps are really good and really strong. Ideally, we want to run tier 13 or better, as tier 13 is the minimum break point for gold oil. So a lot of people who are like, Oh my God, how do I get gold oils? What do I do? Tier 13 is the minimum tier for gold oils. So since we're beginners, we're going to put triple Amber oil. Now, in terms of the map and itself and how we're doing things, we're going to Chisel the map every single time to 20% quality.

we are going to Al the map, and then we are going to corrupt the map. We are not, we don't care what it alks to. We don't care what it corrupts to. We care zero, absolutely zero. We are going in and playing Tower Defense. The mods on this map don't matter at all. We can actually even like, since this one's like not even that hard, we could just like go grab another one and see if we can actually like make an eight moded map. We'll see if this goes eight mods, eight mod, sir, sir, sir. Do I have another 16 trying to see if I can do an eight moded map. All right, we have another 16, let's try it again. If this one doesn't go, if this one doesn't eat mod here, we'll do this, then corrupt it. There we go, eight mod. All right, cool, nice eight mod in map, perfect, beautiful. There are a couple ways to juice the map outside of giving it chisels and a modding it. One of the biggest ways to

juice it are to grab these aziri fragments. So, if you have a bunch of ateri fragments lying around, these are really good to put in your Atlas device. Each one of these atzeri fragments is going to give your map more qued e. So, we're going to take our map. We don't care what's on it. We see there's a lot of information on it, great, whatever, who cares. This is different for blight ravage. Blight ravage has a different set of requirements. Don't do this for blight ravage. Blight ravage is a completely different beast, and we can talk about that later. But anyways, we're going to throw our map in, and then it's going to open. So, we're inside the map. The first thing that we're going to do is we're going to look around, and we're going to see where we want to put our portal. We're going to put our portal out of the way, and then we're going to start the CIA. When we start the CIA, we can see all

of the lanes that are coming. Essentially, what happens is this Lane is immune, the lightning Towers, this Lane is immune, the cold Towers, this Lane is immune, the minion Towers, this Lane is immune to Sun Towers because there are Lane immunities and we have to care about Lane immunities. What we're going to do is we're just going to build a wide variety of towers because we don't have ring annoyance because it is early League because we're beginners and because we don't really know what we're doing. We're going to just build a bunch of towers. The reason we took Amber oils is because the 75% cost of reduction to build towers makes it really, really simple to build towers and build them all the way up towers that I really like. I really like meteor towers for the lightning Towers. I really like Arc towers. And you see we just build a bunch of towers. In terms of defensive Towers, I like chilling Towers. I like chilling Towers only to tier three. Tier 4 chilling Towers become different types.

of towers that don't chill the mobs and seismic towers are also really good. I like bringing them to tier three as well. Tier four seismic towers do a completely different thing empowering Towers, which are these green ones. I also like bringing to tier three there are smothering towers and their aiming Towers. They do different things. They no longer Empower your Towers. They either empower the player or weaken the enemies. As far as that goes you see everything else we just build a whole lot of towers now before you ask in the comments. I know somebody's going to ask and somebody's going to say something. The atlas tree does not affect blighted Maps. We cannot Salvage these towers. Cassia's Pride does not affect this. There is nothing in the atlas tree that will affect this. Yes, you will get gold. Yes, these mobs will drop gold at the end. You don't have to worry. The only thing that you will not get in here is the ore. And I understand the ore is very important in terms of calgar and the

league and what's going on. I get it. I fully do, but this is the only thing you don't get. Now, something that you have to keep in mind. I am not going to attack, and it might get a little sketchy, and it might get a little rough, but we might be okay. We should be okay because we can build towers. The biggest thing you want to do is not do what I do here and build only on one side. You want to make sure that you keep an eye open to all the other sides and what's going on and just make sure that you're building towers so that you don't accidentally get overrun because you're going to have this right here where like stuff's not going to work, and then you're going to have to move around, and you're going to have to hope, and you're going to have to pray, and you don't want to lose, and then you're going to have to attack. The goal is to not attack. Unfortunately, since I'm an idiot, and I screwed up in

real time I have to attack, but if you do this right and you don't screw up, you'll never have to attack because you paid attention. The biggest thing and the biggest problem that a lot of people don't do with their blading Maps is they don't pay attention, and they don't build towers, and they don't check all the different lanes and areas that mobs are coming from. Now to know where mobs are coming from, you can see on my mini-map right here that the lanes, or I guess you can't see, hold on I've got to zoom it in. If I zoom in this map, you can see where mobs are coming from, and you can see which lanes are on and which lanes aren't on. Unfortunately, this map is going to end up being a poor judgment because I messed up, and I'm going to have to kill the mobs, and I'm going to have to stun the mobs, and I'm going to have to walk in front of the mobs. But if you do it right, you don't have to worry.

about anything because you're not you know essentially bad now one of the things too that you can note is as you start to progress and you get your rings you can get ring annoyance if I put this ring on you'll see right away all of these mobs are now Frozen in place because chilling Towers freeze and I don't have to worry about anything anymore because I built chilling Towers so we're just going to build a chilling Tower here really quick. It's going to build. We're going to put another one right here. We're going to do this and then you're going to see right now because I have that ring anoy on these mobs are now Frozen in place. Ring anoy are like cheating inside of bled Maps. Absolutely positively cheating inside of bled Maps. They are the most overpowered thing that you can do. They make your stuff absurdly simple and absurdly easy. The problem with ring anoints is ring anoints become expensive and you have to like get a silver oil and early League.

silver oils are expensive, and they're a little bit of a hassle, and they're a little bit of this, and there a little bit of that, but you know, once you start rolling and get going, you'll be okay. Now, another thing to note too is you saw when this map started in the example, and I had messed up that when I came to this top side, these four towers that were here didn't exist. Cassia and the map and the layout can sometimes really give you a hard time in terms of towers, Tower placement, where they are, and what's going on, and that's something that you're going to have to note and something that you're going to have to keep in mind. Sometimes Towers won't spawn where you need them, sometimes Towers will be out of range, sometimes Towers won't hit mobs, sometimes Towers just won't connect, and you're just going to have to like either accept that you're going to lose a map because losing Maps happen, except that you did what I did where you mess up a little.

bit because you're not focused, and you build towers in the wrong order, in the wrong places, or the mobs sometimes are just bar, you know, they're just immune. There are indeed map modifiers that we should and positively absolutely want to avoid. We want to avoid mobs can't be stun, and we want to avoid mobs can't move, move, move below base value. These two things are really, really important to avoid, especially on things like blight ravage. But because we don't mess up, and we pay attention, and we're not trying to talk and explain it at the same time, we are more aware of our surroundings, and we are more aware to just build a mass amount of towers. You see, I had a little bit of a hiccup. I had to kill a little bit of mobs. I had to run around and stop some mobs. I had to walk, you know, I had to pretty much just cover my own butt because I messed up. But once we recovered, once we built some more towers, once we had things settled and organized, the only thing we

have to worry about is that little yapping guy right there. That just walked past everything. But even this mob right here. Like you see, like he's taking a ton of damage. And you know, we're just going to run in front of him for a second. You know, we'll stall him out. He'll die. And it just becomes free money. And then you don't have to worry. The downside is because we're relying on Towers. We have to wait for mobs to walk to us. That takes a little bit of time. It's a little bit annoying. So we're just going to clean up the rest of the map really, really, really quick. So that we can get it absolutely, positively just out of the way and done. Now lanes that are off. I had mentioned this earlier. Lanes that are off are the gray Lanes. The lanes with the dots on them that are gray are off. They are no longer spawning mobs. Any Lane that is yellow is still indeed spawning mobs. And there's where you have to go to deal with the mobs.

these mobs are still coming out of the T. You know, coming down the lanes towards your blight pump. You do have to run around. You do have to clear them out. They are going to, you know, eventually give you a hard time, and you're just going to have to kill them. So in terms of what we were talking about earlier, ring anoints are really important. This chilling Tower ring anoint is very strong and very important. It is a silver opal essent oil. I'll put a link down below or description down below to tell you what it is, and I like this one a lot too. This is meteor Towers burn. That means when I make the meteor Tower, it leaves fire on the ground. As far as our blight Maps profitable, you see there is indeed gold. You see there is all kinds of uniques that fall. You know, there's all kinds of I 85 bases. There's all kind of high tier bases. I have non-tier one bases turned off currently on my loot filter, so these are all tier one bases that are falling.

these are all bases that people want. These are all bases that people would probably need like and all things that you want to give to ra. Also, it drops a bunch of red Maps coming over here too. You see there's all kinds of jewelry. This is really good for Rag and disenchanting especially in settles of calgar. Literally picking up all this jewelry is literally free to give to Rog. Also, as far as oils are concerned, I like picking up all the oils. I know people don't like to pick up all the oils, but the currency exchange is literally insane and you should be taking advantage of it. As far as what to sell in the currency exchange, you're going to sell everything in terms of oils. You're going to want to sell every oil from Red up and any non-red oil. You're going to convert all the way up to red and then you're going to list and sell your red oils. You're going to sell your black oils, your opalescent oils, your

gold oils your silver oils and you're going to sell any tainted oils that you get or Prismatic oils. Tainted oils only come from doing corrupted tier corrupted corrupted tier bladed maps and Prismatic oils. I'm not sure the requirements yet to run them, but I assume they're in higher tier Maps. There is just loot everywhere. If by some chance you do see the loot down here and you port to town and you come back. So like I port to town, I turn in my loot, I put it all in, I drop it all off, check this really quick, hello, do this, put that there, you drop it all off, you come back in and you don't know where to go for your loot, follow the lines. The lines don't go away, they still tell you where all the loot is and you'll be very easily able to find out where you are to go. You see right there, my Fus is done. I'm constantly, constantly, constantly this league listing oils, listing currency, listing all kinds of things to buy and sell.

you really 100% of the time should absolutely positively take advantage of the trade market and selling oils. There's plenty of people running blight ravage Maps, there's plenty of people rolling, there's plenty of people respecing, there's plenty of people that need all kinds of different oils and different currency and different pretty much everything, and you're just hurting yourself if you're not using it. Same thing goes for like scarabs and stuff. You want to be selling scarabs, you want to be buying scarabs, you want to be picking up a lot of this junk and just seeing what it is. All of these rings and stuff, just bring them all over to Rag and let Rag disenchant them. That's what I'm going to do, and that's pretty much the how-to step-by-step. And if you want to see more BL, there are more videos on my YouTube channel where I talk about other beginner guides to blight. Pretty much this video never changes, it's always the same strategy, it's always the

same thing. Everything is exactly the same. And before you forget, let me remind you one more time: the atlas tree has no effect on blighted maps. Period. Don't worry about your atlas tree. The only thing we care about is triple Amber. Or if you're over Amber and you can kill anything. The other good oils that we explained earlier in this video are now friends. That is the beginner's guide to blight for the like 10th time. If you have any more question questions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment down below. Stop by the live stream, say hello to Twitch chat or YouTube chat, or come by the Discord. But for now, friends, I'm going to get this video out to you guys. See you all on the next one.

[POE 3.25] How To Do Blighted Maps On Day 1! All You Need To Know Almost Never Fail Blighted Maps!

Travic

Beginner's Guide to Blight in Path of Exile 3.

Blight can be easily done as a beginner by using a tier 16 Blighted map and three Amber oils to reduce the tower building cost.

More experienced players have the option to use different oils for various benefits, but the focus here is on simplicity for beginners.

Running tier 13 or higher Blighted maps is ideal for obtaining gold oils, and it's recommended to Chisel the map to 20% quality for better results.

Strategies for Tower Defense in Al the Map

Players are focused on playing Tower Defense in Al the Map and are unconcerned about the map's details or modifications.

They are experimenting with creating an eight-mod map and enhancing it with Aziri fragments to increase quantity.

The strategy involves building a variety of towers, taking advantage of Amber oils for cost reduction, and focusing on specific tower types for different enemy lanes, especially in the early League as beginners.

Tips for Effective Tower Defense in Blighted Maps

Focus on upgrading chill towers to tier three and seismic towers to tier four for different effects.

Remember that the atlas tree and Cassia's Pride do not affect Blighted Maps.

Pay close attention to building and upgrading towers on all sides to avoid being overrun by mobs.

Use the mini-map to track the lanes where mobs are coming from and make sure to build and upgrade towers accordingly to avoid having to directly attack the mobs.

Using ring anoints with chilling towers can freeze mobs in place, making the game significantly easier.

However, obtaining and using ring anoints can be expensive and challenging, especially in the early league.

The layout of the map and tower placement can also present difficulties, sometimes causing players to lose the map or struggle with mob interactions.

Efficient Strategies for Tower Defense in Path of Exile

Utilize tower damage to make easy money while waiting for mobs to approach.

Focus on clearing the map quickly, especially targeting yellow lanes with spawning mobs.

Prioritize picking up unique bases, jewelry, and oils for profitable currency exchange, particularly favoring red oils.

Tips for Selling Oils and Maximizing Profits in Path of Exile Blight League

You can obtain tainted oils from corrupted tier blighted maps and prismatic oils, which are in higher tier maps.

Take advantage of the trade market to sell oils and other items, as there is high demand from players running blight ravage maps, respeccing, and needing various oils and currency.

Consider selling and buying scarabs as well to maximize your profits.

Following this strategy will help you effectively navigate the blight league and make the most out of selling oils and other valuable items.
