hey everybody, Ron R here, and for the last two weeks, a significant amount of meta has been built around tier 17 maps. Last league, I did a detailed guide on how to drop as many tier 17 maps as possible while farming, and in 3.25, it would be great to revisit it since back-to-basics were completely removed from the game and the whole meta changed. In this video, I will focus on showcasing the best strategies that will help you to get a lot of tier 17 maps. Check out the timestamp for particular questions as usual, and let's go. So, tier 17 maps are received when you drop a tier 16 map, and it gets converted to a tier 17 map. All tier 16s that we are dropping will have a chance to become tier 17s, so we need to maximize the amount of tier 16s that drop. It is also important to mention that tier 17 maps cannot drop within tier 17 maps themselves, so the best way to farm them.

is in tier 16, and one of the most prominent questions about tier 17 maps farming is whether singular focus is good for any of those strategies. So, I would say that for farming strategies, when you try to get as many T Maps as possible, singular focus is not good. You're going to receive, on average, less tier 17 maps, so singular focus is not a good option for it, and I recommend not taking it in all the setups. The first core element of the strategy is the map notes, such as shaping the skies, shaping the mountains, and shaping the world. All of them are very important because they will help us to drop more tier 16s, and all tier 16s will have a chance to be converted to tier 17s. The second core element is W Stones. Those will raise the amount of tier 16 drops dramatically. So, perfectly, we will need to have all four W stones to run all the strategies effectively enough. And the next core part is cartography scar of escalation. It is going to be in all setups and will help

us to drop more mops by a huge percentage. You can get at least eight mods on corrupted maps, which will lead us to 80% of more maps bonus from this Scarab alone. There's also one more element that you can use to maximize your mob drops. It is Twist of Fate unique Atlas note. So, Twist of Fate goes like that: your corrupted rare maps and any map corrupt options applying to them are modified and predictably when opened. Map modifiers can have from one to three additional random map modifiers. That's a huge change for that strategy because Twist of Fate is going to change your map completely. You will run a random map because it's going to randomize it and your map crafting options that you will need to apply will be randomized as well. However, it's going to receive from one to three additional random map modifiers. It's going to rise both quantity and rarity, and it also works very well with our Scarab of Escalation that I already mentioned before. So, all of that together makes Twist of Fate a very good pick.

if you can run it because it's going to give you a lot of additional bonuses and a lot of additional loot, so a lot of additional maps as well, and the rise amount of tier 17 maps that you are dropping on average. You can still run any of the strategies without it, but if your build can handle random modifiers all right and you're not too afraid to break some mobs if you were all crazy modifiers like reflect, for example, I would recommend to use that no in almost all setups. So now let's talk a little about our possible Scarab setups. First scarab setup is pretty much expensive one but very stable. They're using three cartography scarab of multitude here, and all of them cost a pretty significant amount of uh Calas. You can pay about like 12 kelas per each, maybe a little more or a little less, but it's going to guarantee us a lot of mob drops. Together with it, we are using influencing scarab of conversion. That's a very important part because scarab of

conversion is going to pay for scars of multitude if they're not going to drop tier 17 map immediately. So maps from scar of conversion, Shaper Guardian, Elder Guardian, conqueror, and synthesized maps are going to pretty much pay for our scars of multitudes and is going to balance itself together. And the last scar up isograph, a scar up of escalation, that's a very good scare up and is going to stay in all the strategies as I already mentioned. So that strategy will have a higher cost because scar of multitudes have a pretty significant price, but it's still going to pay for itself because of the conversion Scar. And that strategy will probably net you the highest amount of tier 17 maps per hour, and it's definitely a good choice as a second option. You can also run a much cheaper version but much more risky one. That way you can use cartography scar of risk, three of them instead of multitudes, together with influencing scar on conversion and cartography scar of escalation. That way cograph scar of

risk are going to add three additional modifiers, raising your quantity, rarity, and giving you additional map bonuses from cograph scar off escalation. The biggest issue is that you will have three additional modifiers, and it could be much harder to run. But if your build is not really afraid to it, and you can handle most modifiers, it could be a decent option for you. And influence scar of conversion is still there because it's helping to pay for the scars. And the last strategy, which is very cheap and not risky at all but much less effective, is just using influencing scar of conversion because it's a cheap scar up together with cartography scar of escalation because that one is great and pretty cheap as well. And add some basic scarabs for other mechanics, like you can add scarabs for Harvest, you can add scarabs for Blight, Delirium, or any other mechanics that you like. If you don't have any mechanics that you like, you can add like scar of monsters lineage, scar of adversaries double, and it could be a

pretty nice setup, but I would expect fewer tier 17 maps from that setup, especially compared to an expensive one with multitudes or a risky one with crappy scars of risk. Another interesting question: so what about crappy SCP of corruption? So generally, I think corruption is not very important for that strategy because most of the time, we're just focused on receiving either 17 or elder or shaper Guardian Maps. So for all of that, cograph SC corruption is not that important. However, if you really need some 8M, you can pretty much replace one cartography scar of multitude or one cartography scar of risk with cartography SC of corruption. Even if it's not that recommended, it can help you to sustain your corrupted maps that you can use for Twist of Fade passive runs. And the last scar option that I want to showcase is pretty much a hybrid option that one be showcasing one of the best results so far, far out of everything that I tested. So currently, two cartography scarps of multitude together with one influence scarp of

conversion and cartography scar of escalation, and the last one is cartography scar of risk. You still will need to do random modifiers, so it could be not that easy. However, I think that option probably will be the best out of them all, because right now, with additional bonus from risk, going to receive more mops compared to just three multitudes or just three risks. That's a hybrid option, and in my experience, it's been one of the best. So, another interesting question is which maps to run. Usually, if you're going to use twist of fate, it's not really that important, because twist of fate is going to randomize your Maps completely, and it's always going to be random. So, you can take any tier 16 map, perfectly eight mod map like that, for example, and run it. I recommend to run corrupted eight modes map, because it's probably the perfect solution here. But if you're not running three sto weight, you can run any other setle map. So, for three sto weight, it should be corrupted, but if you're not running it, it could be

any and by itself if you have not corrupted options, and you can choose them up. I would just recommend to run with jungle volley or Messa or basic Maps like that. Just don't forget that you need to clear all the map before you're going to the boss because otherwise Maven will not spawn all the bosses with your unique ability destructive play. That's a very important part, and if you're running three F, don't forget to corrupt your Maps. You also will need to pick some kind of map option here. I usually pick Anarchy because it just costs two KES, and it's very cheap. So generally, if you are using three St wa, you will need to pick Anar key and put your corrupted map in there. Otherwise, it will not work perfectly. So if you are dropping Twist of f, you can use any map, and you can use any option as well. In that case, you can run domination option or Ambush option, for example, because both of those are kind of great. So if you will need to choose at least one strategy out of them all, I

would definitely go with one with scarabs of multitudes because it's going to net you the highest amount of mops, and genuinely, I would recommend it. However, you can try other ones still to see which one fits with your Bel. Talking about the influence of our map, we can choose between Maven, Exar, and ether, and the strongest option is obviously ether and Maven. Ether can provide us additional quantity and Rarity, which is nice. However, Maven spawns a lot of bosses at the end, and I think it fits the strategy just perfectly because we'll have more chances to drop maps from those bosses, and we will be able to utilize other basic nodes for bosses too. So generally, I prefer Maven. And as a side note, you can also run other Maven setups because other Maven setups can pretty much help you to receive MAV crescents and stuff like that to pretty much sell it. So choos in between three of them, I definitely recommend M. Talking about our Atlas, we will need to take all adjusted mob drop check notes in our Atlas that we can because

it's going to maximize the amount of mops that we are receiving. It's also important to take shape in the mountains, shaping the skies, and shape in the world. All of them are kind of working very good together. If you can take all the higher map TI chance small nodes, I recommended too. Another important part, we will need to take all explicit modifiers for our maps that we can, so we can take them literally everywhere, and it's pretty important. So, Mountain modifiers, you can go up here for chisel per Perfection and stuff like that. And I'm also taking some Scarab bonuses because we'll have more bosses based on Maven. So, Amplified artifacts, remarkable relics, and CH Champions is a very good part. You can also take like remnance of the past, conquered conquerors, and Vivid memories because we are going to have much more bosses from Maven, and we will have some chances to drop additional maps that way. Otherwise, our whole Atlas setup is very simple. I also prefer to take at least one additional storm box. It's just

like a little fluff here. Um, I take some chances for maps from Storm boxes. Could be duplicated. It's not that important, but I think it's a nice touch at the end. Taking all quantity is a very good setup too. However, I usually don't go for middle circle right here because it takes too many points. If you dislike Storm boxes, you can drop Storm boxes notes and just go for Inner Circle here. And the last part in the atlas is pretty much three St weight. I already mentioned that in the video. However, I recommend to take three weight if your build can handle it. If you can't, you can just get rid of those two points and put them in any other place you like. For example, go for Inner Circle. But if you can handle it, three St weight is very good for that type of farm, and I definitely recommend to take that. It's also very easy to take because you need only two points right here for it. There's also the last strategy that I want to mention, and it's still possible to run it even if it could be

very expensive. This is the strategy with domination scar up of Terror. You will get shrines in area guarded by an Nas boss, which is a very cool buff because we are going to receive additional mops from bosses and cartography scar of escalation. Together with domination Scar and domination scar again, it's going to give us a lot of shrines, and all of that together works pretty well. As the last part, we can slap horn scar of pandemonium here, so it will write a price very heavily, but it could be worth it in some cases. You can use third scar of domination in that case, or you can use a pandemonium. That way, you have so many bosses in the map itself, and we'll have higher chances to drop maps from the bosses. That strategy took a hit, and right now could be less profitable, so be very careful with it. However, it's still there and could be used together with pandemonium or without pandemonium. If you're going for that strategy, you will need to change your

Atlas a little probably just dropping strong boxes points here and taking all at plus points for shrines. You also will need to take a guaranteed Shrine because we will need as many shrines as possible generally right now. I think it's less effective than basic expensive searches that I already showcased. However, it's still there, and you can try to use it. So, another cool tip that you can pretty much Farm conquer Maps using that strategy. If you're going to cheel and then corrupt your conqueror map, you will be able to run it together with twist of fate. And while running conqueror's map, you're going to receive cool bonuses from Maven. It will be much easier to just rotate them because you can just rotate four conqueror maps, and at the end, you're going to receive cool bonuses from MAV itself because you're going to receive cents and stuff like that. Genuinely, you will also drop a lot of conqueror maps in the process, so you will be able to mostly stay them without any issues, and it could be a very nice

addition to already decent strategy, so try to use it if it will fit in your farming approach. Another interesting question is pretty much how many tier 17 maps you should expect. So generally, I'm dropping one tier 17 per three or four maps around. That's pretty much with scar of multitude strategy. It could be a little less or a little more. Sometimes you can drop a few in a row, and sometimes you can run about like three or four maps without tier 17s at all. But I'm also dropping a lot of Guardian maps, and it's pretty much paying for the strategy. We also have a lot of quantity and rarity in the map, so we're going to receive a significant amount of gold and even some experience. All of that is pretty much making the strategies pretty nice, even if tier SS are not dropping that often. However, if your luck is better, you can pretty much drop much more and even drop 117, like one per two maps or even more often. So that's

been my guide about how to drop the most amount on tier 17 Ms. I hope it's been helpful for you, and thank you very much for watching, guys. See you next time, R Royale.
