[Music] All right, let's talk farming and what I've been doing. So, if you've been keeping up with the YouTube or the Twitch, you've seen that I've tried and played a bunch of different characters. I'm unlike character like 600 of the league. I'm a little broke, and I need a way to make some currency. Now, I turned to the Twitch chat and YouTube chat. I said, Hey guys, you know, what are people doing? What do you like? What do you not like? and pretty much what's been going on. And while Twitch chat and YouTube chat were like, Bro, have you tried harbingers? and I was like, Yeah, last league they were okay. It was probably like minus one D an hour, but it was fun. And they were like, Bro, but have you tried harbingers? and I was like, No, lay it on me. So, I talked to Twitch chat. My buddy Dey was like, Yo, try this out. And a bunch of people were like, Yo, there's a bunch of really cool videos, and you should just do this. So, I was

just like man. I don't know what the heck is going on. Like, walk me through it so I can give it a shot. And my buddy goes, Here's the atlas. Here's how it works. Here's what you should try. My buddy Matt is doing it. Everybody MB is doing it. Like, a bunch of people are doing it, and they're like, It's insane. So I said, Okay, what are we doing, and how does it work? Pretty much, we're using an atlas tree that does one thing and one thing very, very, very well. It is harbingers. Lots and lots and lots of harbingers. And we're pairing it up with Beyond and map modifiers. Essentially, we're getting harbingers. We're getting harbingers who drop loot and more loot faster. And we're getting king harbingers. Pretty straightforward. Pretty simple. From there, we take a bunch of map effects modifiers, a bunch of Scarab nodes. We take blue alters because I like blue alters. We take alter pack size, and that's really the gist of it. Now harbingers in

themselves spawn a lot of monsters. You kill a lot of monsters, and when you kill a lot of monsters, that gives you the opportunity to spawn a lot of Beyond monsters. And you can see we take a lot of Beyond nodes here. We take exactly enough chance for Beyond to 100% chance to have Beyond. We take it so that no unique bosses are spawned because if you spawn the unique boss inside of a map, if you spawn the unique Harbinger boss, Beyond just stops, and we don't want that. And we're not taking Torn Veil because we don't want the increased chance of the boss to spawn. So pretty much, we're just taking a bunch of map effect modifiers, Beyond stuff, and just more Harbingers as far as that goes. Our map device and our map setup is really simple. We're going to be using all of the Harbinger scarabs that the game provides us. We're going to be using additional Harbingers. We're going to be using Harbinger currency shards.

duplicated. We're going to be using the empowered Obelisk. Some people say the Obelisk are really good, and some people say the Obisk are really bad. I've personally had my Obisk drop me all kinds of insane stuff, from exalted shards to fracturing shards to tons and tons of chaos and Anol shards. I've even at one point had like all kinds of stuff fall, and you'll see when we run a map how these work and what's going on. But I personally really like them. Some people don't. If you have an opinion on these, please leave a comment down below. Let me know. I'd love to hear about what you guys think and if I'm wasting my time with the Obelis, because I mean, there's an argument where you're supposed to like do this instead, but I don't know. I really, really, really, really like the Obus. The last Scarab that we're using is the Harbinger Scarab of Regency. This one gives us a 50% chance for a powerful

Harbinger boss, this plus this gives us a 75% chance, and the big Harbinger boss is what we want and what we're aiming for. Outside of that, we just add in more harbingers. Now, I had mentioned about the Harbinger Scarab of Obelisk, and it might be better to have more of these and go like this instead, but I'm honestly not too sure yet. I think it requires more testing. I really like the Obelisk a lot, and I turn to you guys. If you guys have any opinions on it, I'd love to hear your opinions. But outside of that, we're going to be running Jungle Valley. I personally like Jungle Valley. I actually had scryed my Mage blood card here from the filed Cathedral. If you don't know how scrying works, pretty much you run the filed Cathedral until you find the nameless Seer. The nameless Seer lets you move your cards from that map to another map, and I moved Apothecary to Jungle Valley.

but for our map, we're going to be chiseling our map, and then we're just going to be looking for six mods on our map. This is the important part. We want to make sure that we have six mods, or if you're running eight modded maps, eight modded maps are probably going to be infinitely better. The worst part about eight mod maps is you won't be able to add delirium to them unless you take delirium on the outlas device and click delirium in other places, which makes a little bit awkward. But if you have the opportunity to, you should be attempting to make your own eight modded maps. So, by that, I chisel my map, I al my map to get good mods. The reason why we aim for six mods or good mods in general is because when I go to corrupt my map, there's a chance that I get an implicit. It doesn't go eight mods, and these six moded maps are still good to run. So, we get our map.

to six mods, we add a deli orb to it. You can add more deli orbs if you like. I've only been adding one deli orb and then we're Ving our map and hoping for the best. And you see here we hit an eight mod map. We look at it, it's one that we can run. It is absolutely beautiful. When we go to run this strategy, there's a couple of things to know. Our scarabs themselves have gotten a little pricey and a little expensive. I don't know what the break point is that this strategy is still worth running. At the time of recording and the cost of the scarabs right now, about seven maps is costing me, or 20 maps is costing me roughly 6 and a half divs. The base harbinger Scarab are like 30 to a div, which is like not too bad. This Scarab is roughly 10 to a div. You can pay them in chaos, they're about 10 chaos each. It's actually infinitely cheaper to buy these things.

in Chaos on both sides of things. If you're not willing to pay bulk prices, these are about one C each, or you can get about 140 of them to a Divine. And then the harbinger Regency scarabs are about eight to a Divine, or if you buy them in chaos, they're about 15 C each. These are infinitely cheaper to buy in chaos. As far as our map device goes, we are clicking for harag on the atlas device. Now you're going to say to me, Man, the cost per map is crazy. Like, what are you getting out of this? Why are you doing this? And what's going on? Well, you're getting infinite chaos orbs, which you're going to see when you run. Now you're getting infinite exalted orbs. I have tons of fracturing orbs that I've gotten. I've gotten 221, an infinite ancient orbs, and pretty much just kind of going wild. You can see on my currency exchange here, I have ancient orbs listed at six divs each right now. Ancient orbs are, they're like five, five and a half on

the trade website, and that's pretty good. That's like actually really good. Another really cool thing too is if I come here and I look at this, we see they're about 5.5 to a div, they're going up, and we see that ancient orbs are 1918 to a div, which it's not too bad. But if I come here and I do this and I search ancient orbs and I go to Divine and I hold all, you could see they're about 175. So like people are buying them at 7 to a Divine, 15 to a Divine. So I can literally go list all my ancient orbs now when I'm done with this video and come back and they'll sell 15 to a Divine versus selling them on trade for 19 to Divine. So like you're just making money hand over fist while doing this. The other really cool thing too, and you're going to be like oh my God, but the currency exchange cost so much gold, and I'm be like yeah, it's a little pricey, but just today alone farming for

A few hours, I've gotten 400,000 gold in the treasury. That's not including rerolls and all that stuff. Each one of these maps takes me about 4 minutes, and each one of these maps gives me about 20,000 gold. So, 4 minutes, 20,000 gold. I mean, you know, it's not the chronic painless million gold an hour strat, but for just casually playing, it's pretty good. But let's stop yapping, let's get into the map, and let's just showcase what a map looks like. If you're wondering, I am playing the CN Sun Chieftain build. If you want information on this build or you want me to make a video about this build, please let me know in the comments down below. I'll happily record a video about the build. But I'm following a gentleman on YouTube named e Miracle. He did a fantastic job with the build, and I'm just copying what he did. But if you want me to do something about it, please, by all means, let me know.

Okay, so these are the Obelisks right here, and you can see when we kill these Obelisks. Now they drop all kinds of shards and just pretty much tons of just random stuff. A lot of people might not like this farming strategy because it is going to be a lot of clicking. You are going to want to click all of the little things that fall, and you know, if you're not into doing a billion clicks, this might not be the strategy for you. I will be very transparent and very upfront and very honest about that. But if you're playing a build like I'm playing, that's just pretty much AFK simulator. As long as you don't click bad Alters, you can just do whatever the heck you want and just loot things as you please. Also, doing this strategy, you're going to see just in this too, we're going to be getting lots and lots of different scarabs. Our Scarab tab fills up pretty frequently while doing this strategy. You'll get tons of maps, all different kinds of maps. You can even like take

singular Focus if that's your goal, which is probably something I should do. And you can see overall, it's just pretty straightforward. Now, in terms of what you're seeing in loot versus what you're not seeing in loot, you'll see pretty much what we looted off this guy right here. It doesn't look like a lot of loot, but that's because all of this didn't convert up. So, you have the opportunity for all of this loot that has fallen off this guy that didn't convert up. So, you have a really good opportunity for loot to convert up. I've gotten tons and tons of fracturing orbs. You saw on the trade set, I had like four fracturing orbs plus one of my inv that I'm willing to sell. And overall, it's just been really, really, really strong. The problem with these maps is they get a little hard. Harbingers can be a little bit Rippy, so if you're not really playing a super strong build, it might be a little hard to do this farming.

strategy. If you're playing something like lightning strike, you're probably going to have an insanely easy time. If you're playing any Head Hunter builds, you're going to have an easy time. If you're copying this that I'm doing and playing one of the Miracles builds, you're probably going to have a great time. You saw just right there, the obelis dropped us a bunch of EX shards, which is really nice. Exalts are like 15 to a Divine, and you get tons of exalts. I know I've been using my exalts to exalt my map, so you know you're just getting tons and tons and tons and tons of different stuff, and you know overall it's pretty good. Now sometimes your maps are going to be huge juicers, and you're going to hit really hard, and sometimes your maps are going to be less juicy. Sometimes you're not going to get fracturing shards, sometimes you're not going to get all kinds of insane stuff, but that's the nature of the game. That's RNG, and that's

pretty much how it works now. Twitch chat and YouTube chat have told me that people that are running the Strat have hit mirror shards. Now, I'm not using that as a way to sell you on the Strat, but I am telling you that there is the possibility that you can hit mirror shards on stream. Earlier today, I did manage to hit an entire full fracturing orb that fell off the harbingers, and I thought that was really cool. That was an easy free five divines. The only thing that you really need to worry about with this strategy is the cost of the scarabs if they get to out of hand, but I think we'll be okay. I think enough people have talked about this. I think enough people have been doing this already. I'm pretty hopeful that the price of the scarabs, or the price of the scarabs, fingers crossed, they don't go up much anymore, but eventually there's going to be a break point where it might be too costly to run this. I don't know.

the one thing I will say, though, is I have been able to mitigate a little bit of the cost and be able to, like, maintain what I'm doing without spending too much. Because on my Atlas, you'll notice that I did take these Scarab nodes. My Atlas right now, too, also doesn't have the whole 132. I think if I ended up getting the whole 132, I'd probably path up this way and block a bunch of extra stuff just so I had more chance at Harbinger scarabs to drop. I haven't really figured it out yet or really min-maxed the tree. And this is like one of those things where, like, if you guys are trying this or playing this or have a more min-max tree you want to share, please, by all means, leave it down below in the comments. Now, as far as, like, how much profit am I making versus how much I'm spending? Is my number going up? Have I been making a ton of currency? Have I not been making a ton of currency? I will say

I have not been fully tracking everything. What I will say is that my divines are going up, my chaos are going up, everything I have to sell is going up. I have yet to liquidate my Scarab tab. I have yet to liquidate pretty much anything. The only thing that I've been doing is I've been selling my ancient orbs. My ancient orbs by themselves have been like literally funding the maps over and over and over again, and it has been pretty good. I haven't sold any of the fracturing orbs yet, and you know overall like I mean like I still have an entire Scarab tab to sell from doing this, and you could see for while doing this like not a whole lot of crazy scarabs fall, but a lot of scarabs really do fall, and you get a lot of really cool stuff. You'll also find a lot of fractured stuff. I find quality bases, you know, you just find overall tons of different stuff. You get semacam splinters if you're willing to click them, you can get you know pretty much

just everything, also lots of Tainted currencies, and overall I've had a really good time with this Farm. I think it's been a lot of fun; it's really a huge dopamine Rush. The maps themselves, they feel great. Yes, this map took me a little bit longer because I'm showcasing things, but I really like it a lot. You see a lot of uniques, you know, it's just been a really, just a really, really chill Farm. I think as long as the maps and the scarabs stay affordable, this is probably going to be my strategy up until Mage blood. I've made a bunch of money doing blight, but I kind of want to spice it up a little bit. I'm like 400 div deep into blight, which I've spent on a bunch of different characters. I listen, look, divines are great. I love spending my divines. You can't tell me and convince me otherwise, but overall it's been just really, really, really good and really

solid. You see, we did this map: 27, 9, 55 gold. You know, 5 minutes in and out, not a problem at all. Go over here, add our gold to our Treasury, and don't even think twice. The hardest thing, too, like I said, is just going to be rolling your Maps, making sure that you do your Maps right, making sure they're nice and juicy and stuff like that. But we'll do one more just for the sake of doing one more, just so that we can have another sample size, and you can see right now we're just going to roll our map. We're going to look for that nice five or six modded map that we can do that has pretty much everything that we want on it as far as a Rex goes. I don't really have a regx for this build. I know somebody's going to be like, Oh my God, link me your Rex, and I'll be like, I don't have a Rex. I read to make sure, like, this map avoid elements. We're not doing that. That looks

really bad, but this avoid elements again. We're not doing that. That looks really bad. Yeah, your Rex is literally going to be tailored to the character in class that you're playing, as far as like what you should be looking for in the map. Just look for a map that you can run. You know, you want the most juicy of Juicy that you can run. And ideally, like I said, you're going to want eight modded Maps. You're probably going to be like a fliction league all over again, where you're just going to like get a bunch of maps. You're going to like put Deli orbs on them and just corrupt them and hope they go eight mod and see what happens. You can always like self-Farm eight moded Maps yourself too, which isn't like the worst play in the world. But like then they're not Deli, and then you give up the deli orb. You can like put three points here for unending Nightmare and then click delirium on the map device. But that

Seems really bad too, or you could like try to rework the tree for a deli mirror. I don't know, I feel like there's a lot of options and a lot of different ways that you can honestly go about it without struggling too much. Just kind of comes down to like what kind of content you want to farm and if your character can handle it or not handle it, you know. It's really going to come down to you, I think. There's a whole lot of wiggle room with the tree. You could probably give up a couple of Scarab nodes to fit in other stuff, and you know, you really don't have to like fully copy my tree the way that it is. It's a lot of flexibility. All that you really care about, the only thing honest to God that you really, really, really care about, is you care about clicking all of the harbinger nodes. All the harbinger nodes for this strategy are really good, and you care about getting enough Beyond to have 100% chance for Beyond, and you care about

having uh you care about not having the Beyond boss spawn. I do. I like these Obelisk man. I do look enman shards. Look at how many enman shards we got off that. That's so cool man. Some chaos shards. I do. I like this strategy a lot. I think it's really good. I think it's been a lot of fun. I have really been absolutely getting a kick out of this Strat. The like like I said, the only thing that I'm worried about is if the scarabs go up even more. But if they don't really go up anymore, I mean, there's like not like a whole lot to worry about, right? And you get all kinds of really cool stuff while doing it. But it comes down to like how much you're going to want to like sell stuff and move things and flip things. But I did do this stream or I did do the Strat on stream for you know a couple hours today, a couple hours yesterday, and it ended up going really good. You know the prices of things

didn't like spike out of control while I was streaming. So, that's, you know, a huge sign of like it being okay, I guess. I don't know. I think at this point I'm probably just yapping, but you know, I think yapping is a little bit better than like sheer silence. But we do another map and just showcase another map and how it looks and what's going on. Nice hire amulet over there, some FL, bunch of shards. It feels so good, man. Makes me want to go test those Harbinger um memories. I think they're like three or 4 C right now, and I looked at them right before I started recording. They were pretty cheap. Oh, the starf crater. We're not going to do it on this guy. We'll do it on the other guy. We'll save. We're not going to waste the time on the video. I'll do it off stream, I promise. Nice dude, that's awesome. Okay, grab all this, take all this, do this, grab this. One of these Maps is going to drop.

me the Apothecary man one of these Maps. Make sure this alter doesn't break my build. Come back down this way, double-check that I didn't miss anything. I missed the ore. We're going to go get the ore. Lud have forgotten home. Nice dude, nice. Let's go some maps, some chaos shards, Scouting Report dude. See, it's such a sweet farm dude. It's so chill and so cozy, and there's so much stuff that you get out of it. I know, like I said, it's not going to be for everybody because there's a ton of clicking, but I just wanted to Showcase something cool that I was doing and that, you know, you guys told me about, and you know, I wouldn't, I honest to God, wouldn't have done it if you guys didn't tell me to try it out and give it a go. Okay, let me come down here, grab all the gold. I really, really, really hope that they increase the gold pickup radius. I think we like desperately need the gold.

pickup radius to be bigger. Hey, come over here, double-check, make sure there's no more harbingers. Found another. Oh my God, another one, dude. It's always so good, man. Oh, T are refusing. Nice, nice, nice. Okay, looking good, looking good. Grab all that, explode the whole screen. Double-check the altar. This one would break us. We don't want to click that one. That'd be really bad. The defense charge one, and then that's it. Yeah, dude, that was great. That was awesome. We got two things there, 14 of those, three of those, some fractures, a bunch of scarabs. I know some D, like that's not the cost of the map. You're losing out money, and you're right. This map probably didn't cover the cost of the map. The last map, I don't know. We didn't get any fracturing shards, but when you hit fracturing shards and you get like eight of them in a map, you're like, Eh, it's pretty good, man. That's pretty good. Like I said too, you'll eventually get more and

more of these. These are selling like 15 to a div, so it comes out really good. And you know, you'll end up profiting in the long run. You just have to sell everything and take the time to do it. You know, that's really about it. But for now, friends, I hope you found this video as exciting as I did. I hope you, you know, if you give this Strat to try and it works out really well, please let me know in the comments down below. If you try this Strat and you hated it or there's something we can do better, I'd love to hear about what you're thinking or what you're trying, and then we'll go from there. Or if there's another really cool Str you want me to try or something really sweet that this league has to offer, please, by all means, let me know. We'll give it a shot on stream. We'll make a video about it. We'll do all that fun stuff. For now, friends, I'm going to get this video out to you guys, and I'll

[POE 3.25] Fracture Orb and Gold Farming Using Harbingers! How To Maximize Your Loot Using Harbis!

Travic

The speaker is exploring different characters in a game and seeks to make currency, leading to a focus on harbingers.

They receive advice from Twitch and YouTube chat, ultimately deciding to use an atlas tree and map modifiers to spawn more harbingers and beyond monsters.

The setup includes harbinger scarabs, currency shards, and an empowered obelisk, with the speaker expressing a personal preference for the obelisk despite mixed opinions.

The goal is to achieve a 75% chance for the big Harbinger boss by adding more harbingers and considering the Harbinger Scarab of Obelisk.

Running Jungle Valley and chiseling maps for six or eight mods is crucial, with eight modded maps being more beneficial despite the challenge of adding delirium.

The strategy involves using scarabs and the atlas device for harbingers, with the potential for infinite chaos and exalted orbs, as well as fracturing and ancient orbs.

Making Gold through Ancient Orbs and Map Farming

The trade website shows a profitable opportunity with ancient orbs, selling for 15 to a Divine.

Farming maps for 4 minutes each yields about 20,000 gold, resulting in 400,000 gold in the treasury after a few hours.

The farming strategy involves clicking on dropped items and offers a steady supply of scarabs and maps.

The loot from the farming strategy may not look like much at first, but there are opportunities for additional loot to convert up.

Strong builds, like lightning strike or Head Hunter, make the farming easier, while the maps can vary in difficulty and loot quality.
