[Music] I will give you my exact plan for the leak start so that you can get rich as well. Hi guys, I'm asmo, and in this video, I'm going to reveal every detail of My League start plan. If you get five Mage Bloods and 17 mirrors every League, then you don't need to watch this video. But if you struggle with making enough currency or want to get your first Mage blood, or you just don't know what currency strategy to use in the next league, and you cannot decide what to start with, I'm going to give you answers to all of those problems. This strategy is going to be especially good for players who have been playing the game for a while but never seem to be able to make a lot of currency. Before I tell you what we're going to be running, and for some of you, it's not going to be surprising, let me tell you the three biggest reasons why people struggle with making currency. Number one, they're doing too many things at once. They interact

with the league mechanic they try out different strategies. They complete their Atlas. They try to get some challenges done. All of those things are an insane waste of time if your goal is trying to maximize your currency early on. The second thing is their build. Their build is not perfectly tailored to their strategy. Instead, people try to play a build that can do it all. They want to map and be really fast. They also want to have good damage through the bosses and enough survivability to do high-level content and be able to flexibly change strategies. That is probably the worst choice you can make when it comes to your build. So I'm going to suggest for you a few builds that you can choose from for our strategy and also give you the exact build that I will be playing. The third and last main reason why people struggle with making currency is lack of a plan. That's why they do the other two mistakes. They don't have a concrete plan that would dictate their decision-making automatically. And they also haven't planned their build ahead.

of time. And that's when I come in. I'm going to give you the exact plan and exact steps that you can follow, and it will completely change your leak start. If you follow it, the strategy that we will focus 100% of our effort on is sanctum. Why sanctum? Number one, it is simple. We're running sanctums and nothing else. You don't have to complete your Atlas, you don't have to worry about the Atlas tree, the league mechanic, the map mods, getting watch stones, or even completing the campaign. We can literally skip every part of the game that doesn't directly give us currency. Number two, we're getting raw currency. This means that we are not competing for the same market as we would in the case of farming something like Essences or Harvest Juice, because if everyone starts farming those, then the price goes down and so do the profits. When you're farming raw currency, you're pretty much safe from the market crashing. By doing just one thing, we also

can tailor our build specifically to our strat and maximize the efficiency. The best builds for Sanctum have the following characteristics: high damage, high mobility, ability to do damage while moving, auto-targeting, and ability to freeze. So here is a short list of builds that I would recommend for running Sanctum. Number one is Hex Miner Occultist or Assassin. Both of them can transition into Power Charge stacking, which is a very good archetype for this. Shockwave Totem with Astal Projector and full cold conversion. Very, very comfy build as well. Cold Hexagon Miner Trickster if you want something a little bit less popular that's also going to be very good for mapping. And then Captain Lance's Energy Blade Stacker is also another build that I would recommend. And the build that I will be playing: Penance Brand of Dissipation Inquisitor. And I want to give a disclaimer right now: my build is squishy and Sanctum can be hard if you're not that good at video gaming. For me, my build is perfect for Sanctum, but you

might want to have something that is a little bit more defensive, so choose your build based on your skill level, and do not come crying when you get one-shot by Lysa and break your sanctum run. I've play-tested my build in early sanctums, but I cannot account for all the different skill levels of all the different players, so just understand that you will need some decent movement or a little bit more defensive approach with your character, and with that out of the way, here is a step-by-step plan for the league start that I will be following, and you can follow as well to make a bank. Step number one is preparation: practice. If you still have time, watch the guides that you need to watch in order to learn everything you need to learn, gather your resources, get a loot filter. By the way, my personal loot filters are available for Patreon supporters, and the updated 3.25 versions will be posted there shortly before the league launch. You can find a link to my Patreon in the description if you're

interested and the last part of the preparation is to look up the p Poe lab on the day of the leak start especially the merciless lab because you want to know the shortest path to save time since we'll be doing it more than once. Step two is to level Templar to at least level 60. You can check out my channel for the Templar leveling guides that I've made specifically with this strategy in mind, and they will hold your hand throughout the entire leveling process and tell you exactly what to do. There's a video guide full Act five run with commentary. You can also check out a written guide on my website. All of them will be linked in the description. While leveling, keep your Rolling Magma and active skill gems that are blue. After level 28, swap to Armageddon Brand and use them in the lab to get Transfigured Gems. You might get the Penance Brand, but more likely you're going to get something else that you're going to sell and then buy the Penance.

brand gem you want to buy the Penance brand of dissipation as soon as you can, and you want to level it in the offhand. Weapons, it is important to get it before we do our third lab, and I will explain why in a moment. Step number three: start doing Chaos recipe as soon as possible. If you're using any of my loot filters, you will start noticing orange background on rare items, and that means that the item is within the item level range for chaos recipe, so you don't have to manually check them. Step number four is get to the point right before killing Act 10 Kava, and then start running merciless lab, which is the level 68. If you can get the maximum number of treasure keys to get more items for chaos recipe and more raw currency and from the Divine font, you want to prioritize gem XP. You're going to get 15 million gem XP for your Penance brand, and you want to get it to at least level 18. You can run lab until you get to

level 70, and it will give you more currency and more power through gem XP rewards than running a useless campaign Zone over and over to get the levels. Step number five: after you've acquired about 15 to 20 Kos, you should be able to afford everything you need to swap and start farming Sanctum. Buy these items as you get the currency and try to be smart about it. If something seems very overpriced, then you might have to change your plans a bit or skip that purchase for now. I've researched and wrote the historical item prices in the notes of the Templar Po, but the markets are Dynamic and it can always change. You're looking for a cheap Felink or Kalisa Grace gloves. This should cost you about a couple of Kos. Any decent weapon from the Po's trade for these items function, which you should always check first because you can find some real gems for basically free. So learn to use that function, or you can buy the Singularity Scepter, but it can be a bit expensive.

early. So check both Rise of the Phoenix Shield. This is mandatory and should cost between one and five Kos. Lor's Lantern, which should be about 1 Kos, and Call of the Brotherhood, which should be about five Kos. Step six is to swap to the Penance brand of dissipation. You will need 18 to 22 regrets depending on how many passives you invested into the fire damage nodes, and you will get 18 respect points from the campaign and can respect any remaining points using gold through the new league mechanic. Invite False to your hideout, and then you can Respec and use trade market. And this will be our only interaction with the league mechanic until we get a mage blood. Step number seven, start by running the quest sanctum. If you're not very familiar with sanctum, there is an amazing guide made by FaZe, which I will link in the description, and it will teach you everything you need to know about the mechanic. It's one of the best Poe guides ever made about a league mechanic.

I'm saying that as someone who is making Poe guides for a living, if you have any doubts about being able to complete the floor, you can just leave it for later and buy another low-level forbidden to do a couple of these until you get the gear in order and you gain some levels. And then you can finish them when you're a little bit stronger, and you don't lose anything doing it that way as well. Keep running sanctums around area level 70 until you are level 80. Step eight, at level 80, you can do your Uber lab. Keep in mind that we have not killed kava yet. Step nine, invest the early currency into cluster Jewels. Try to get a couple of cheap large clusters with some decent notables, and you can see examples of the desirable notables in the PO you want to get. Also, three medium clusters with the remarkable notable as soon as possible because this will give you two brands for each cast instead of one, which helps you deal your damage much faster. Step 10.

get a shaper helmet and swap to crit. You want to get a helmet with extra Critical Strike chance for socketed spells or Hypothermia, or both if you can. And you want to put your brand setup there. Drop the Elemental Weakness and Wave of Conviction in favor of Assassin's Mark, and then respec your tree to the crit setup, which you can find in the PO Step 11. Keep upgrading your gear and trying out higher level sanctums progressively until you can run level 83 sanctums comfortably and efficiently. Around level 90, you can also kill Kava for the extra couple of skill points and fix your resistances as well. Some of the recommended gear upgrades would be things like Cluster Jewels, a shaper helmet, and a good amulet like a plus two amulet or an amulet with lots of crit and good stats, or even Replica Dragon Fang. This league, we should also have access to plus four amulets with the return of the Candra mechanic, so that's another option you can keep an eye out for. Step

12. If you're capable of successfully and efficiently running your item level 83 sanctums, then save all currency for Apothecary cards and start buying them until you get a Mage blood. And then, Step 13: Once you get the Mage blood and the flasks, you'll be able to run sanctums faster and make any amount of currency you want. So, either invest it into the character or reroll into another build. This would be the time where I will probably put together a mapping setup for my brand character and do my Atlas and then interact with the league mechanic, which will have some of its bugs probably fixed by then. If you stay on track and put the time into farming this strategy without deviating to other things, you should be set for an amazing leak start. And if you have any questions, write them in the comments below. Good luck with your farming, and I will see you next time.

Tips for a Successful Game Currency Start

Asmo provides a detailed plan for a successful league start, focusing on obtaining Mage Bloods and mirrors.

The three main reasons people struggle with currency making are trying to do too many things at once, having a build that is not tailored to their strategy, and lacking a concrete plan.

The recommended strategy is to focus 100% effort on running sanctums, as it is a simple way to get raw currency without competing in the market.

Recommended Builds and League Start Plan for Running Sanctum

High damage, mobility, ability to damage while moving, auto-targeting, and freezing are key characteristics for Sanctum builds.

Recommended builds include Hex Miner Occultist or Assassin, Shockwave Totem with Astal Projector, Cold Hexagon Miner Trickster, and Captain Lance's Energy Blade Stacker.

It's important to choose a build based on your skill level and the need for defense in Sanctum, as the environment can be challenging.

The league start plan involves preparation, practicing, leveling the Templar to at least level 60, and focusing on specific active skill gems during the leveling process, such as Rolling Magma and Armageddon Brand, to ultimately acquire the Penance Brand.

Prioritizing Penance Brand and Gem XP in Path of Exile

It's crucial to buy the Penance brand and level it in the offhand before the third lab to maximize gem XP.

Starting the Chaos recipe early is important, and using loot filters can help identify items within the right level range.

Running the merciless lab to obtain treasure keys for the Chaos recipe and prioritize gem XP rewards is more beneficial than repeatedly running campaign zones.

After acquiring enough currency, focus on smart purchasing to swap and start farming Sanctum, prioritizing cost-effective items and using PoE's trade function.

Path of Exile: Phoenix Shield Build Guide

The guide provides step-by-step instructions for the Phoenix Shield build in Path of Exile, including specific item costs and the use of the Penance brand.

It emphasizes the importance of running the Sanctum quest and offers advice on progressing through the game by gaining levels and acquiring gear.

The guide also highlights the significance of investing early currency into cluster Jewels for improved damage dealing.

Optimizing Your Path of Exile Brand Character

Get a shaper helmet with extra Critical Strike chance for socketed spells or Hypothermia, and use it for your brand setup.

Replace Elemental Weakness and Wave of Conviction with Assassin's Mark, and respec your tree for the crit setup.

Upgrade your gear, aim to run level 83 sanctums comfortably, kill Kava around level 90 for extra skill points, and fix your resistances.

Save currency for Apothecary cards to get a Mage blood flask, which will help you run sanctums faster and generate currency.

Consider investing the currency into your character or rerolling into another build, and stay focused on farming to have a successful league start.
