[Music] All right, today let's talk about current farming strategies and what my plan is and how I'm making my next steps to, you know, different times of currency. If you've been following along lately, you'll know that I've been recently leveling a Penance brand 36 charge crazy Juiced up Slayer Penance brand daddy of dads, and I've been looking for a really fun Farm. There's two things I have in mind that I want to farm, the title of today's video, strong boxes, and I want to delve into a little bit of blight, and I have something I'm cooking on and working on, but we're going to save that for later. Today's topic is strong boxes, and strong boxes are out of this world. They are absolutely, positively, completely crazy. I have talked about strong boxes in the past. I have done videos on strong boxes in the past. My friends have done videos on strong boxes, and let me just say, in this league, they are as out of this world as they're

crazy. They're absolutely crazy. So, you know, I put my character together. I'm looking a farm, and we landed on strong boxes. And pretty much, I ended up here because Twitch chat was just like, Hey man, look, um, so and so is doing strong boxes. It's working out really well for them. You might want to consider trying strong boxes. The tree's really good. And my buddy Diggs was just like, Hey, FB gun's doing it. My buddy MB was like, SNE is doing it. My buddy Anime Princess has done it. So, there's plenty of people that already have done strong Bo, and I've talked about strong box, and I'm pretty much just hopping on the train, you know. This tree in itself is extremely standard and very, very, very straightforward. You're going to take twice tempted for an additional strong box and all these small notes to add more packs to the strong boxes. We're going to take some Scarab notes here. We're going to take some MA effect notes here. We're going to add in a shrine for extra mobs. We're

going to make our Maps corrupted in rare. We're going to give our strong boxes a chance to reopen. We're going to get a bunch of, you know, Scarab nodes. We're going to get more divination boxes. We're going to get more map boxes are duplicated. You can actually do it here so that your maps from your strong boxes are duplicated. Your currency items are duplicated. And pretty much the train itself is straightforward. We're just doing strong boxes on top of strong boxes on top of strong boxes with matap modifier effects, more scarabs, a little bit of merging radius for Beyond and Beyond. And we're just pretty much going in. Now, there are some trees that don't take these merging radius nodes here. There are some trees that put those points point over here for more influenced pack siiz mobs. There's, you know, some trees that take the full blue side, some that take the full red side. You pretty much have the ability to mix and match what you're doing. The tree that I was sent looks really solid. It gives us the ability to

farm a lot of extra Ambush strong boxes. Like I said, we get double divination cards, double currency, we get extra scarabs of less common variety, we're getting more alars on our map, we're getting tons of map modifiers, we're getting additional shrines, our shrines are giving us an additional pack of monsters, we're able to farm the more maps that we want to do, and overall this tree has been great. I have been exclusively testing this tree in tier 17s. Tier 17s are where I've been living, but I have a couple of friends. Big shout out to my friend Lady. She's been playing an extremely similar tree, doing strong boxes in tier 16s. She's been doing tier eight moded tier 16 Maps. She's had huge success, and overall, yeah, strong boxes are crazy. Strong boxes are really nut, and the tree, like I said, is extremely straightforward. Take all the strong box nodes, add in extra nodes where you want. If Beyond is too much, cut out the Beyond. If I were

you and I was GNA cut up Beyond. I would cut out Beyond, and I would just take more Scarab nodes. Like, you get all these little tiny Scarab nodes here. There's some, you know, there's a Scarab node there. There's some Scarab nodes here. I'd get more influence mods and more mobs. But yeah, that's if you don't like, you know, if you don't like Beyond. But that's essentially the tree, the scarabs. Very, very, very straightforward. We're going to be adding five additional strong boxes to our map. We're going to give our strong boxes an additional chance to reopen. This is 15% here. That's stacked up with this. That makes it 25 plus another 246, which makes it a 31% chance for boxes to be reopened. We have 75% increased effect of explicit modifiers on strong boxes and areas, which is pretty crazy. We have it so that all the strong boxes are in containments so that every single pack in our map is inside of a strong

box and we'll talk about this more extensively in a second. And then the last one that we have is strong boxes in area are more likely to be a rare variety. These are your arcan boxes, your divination boxes, so forth and so on. When rolling your Maps, if you are doing tier 17 maps, running the Ambush Scarab of containment is literally insane. I'm very well aware that this Scarab is 1.4 divines, 1.5 divines on trade and on the currency exchange. If I were to look it up right now, it is about 1.5 divines of Scarab. I know it is costly. It is very costly. I agree with you. I do think it's absolutely worth it in 17s. I don't know if it's worth it in 16s. I haven't really tested it in 16s yet, and a lot of my friends doing 16s aren't using it. They say that strong boxes are still relatively insane without it.

but if I was doing 17s primarily, I would definitely 100% take this. We're actually going to run this map, and I'm going to talk about this map, and you're going to see why this Scarab is so impactful in a minute. If I was doing 16s and I wasn't using the Ambush Scarab of containment, I would just do like this and just run it just like this. Even if you wanted, you could get rid of this and do this, but I really like the Scarab a lot, and I wouldn't get rid of the Scarab. But that's the Scarab setup, so you're going to use one of each of all the scarabs, and then we're going to roll our map. If doing tier 16s, you want to do the hardest 16 that you can do, so preferably eight mod corrupted Maps. If we're doing 17s, we're going to make sure that we roll our 17s to a level of difficulty with rewards that we can run. So for me

personally, with my build, I can do a large majority of tier 17 Maps. Big shout out to my buddy Blossom I mentioned earlier. I'll say it again, the guy who put this together in Game of the PO did an absolutely fantastic job, and this build has been more than fun to play. You'll see the build in action in a minute, and if you like it and you want me to talk about it, make a video, let me know in the comments down below, or come by the twitch stream and just be like, Hey man, how do we do it? But as far as rolling our Maps, what I am looking for right now is I'm looking for two things. One, I'm looking for scarabs and currency, or I'm looking for a large, and I mean a large percentage of scarabs or currency. I ideally would want the map to have more scarabs and more currency, totaling a 150% or better, ideally pushing towards scarabs. So right now we have 8433, which is 9, 10, 111, which is what, 111%? Not good.

enough. This is 130, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 120, 120. Not good enough. This one's 154. No scarabs. And this is the part that gets a little tedious, the part that gets a little annoying, the part that a lot of people really don't like. This one 140, 70%, but unfortunately, it's less recovery. I can't really do less recovery, so we skip it. We roll over it, and we just sit here, and we look. I have gotten maps with 200% currency and like 50% maps, 200% currency, 100% like scarabs. You can get some really, really banging maps if you just spend time to learn and, you know, spend time to roll them and have a good time. This map, for example, double-check it, make sure it looks good. It says reduce damage from crits. Okay, minus max for shore blood stains, monsters imp pale marked for death. Looks good, 224 per currency. Nice pack size, item quant looks pretty good. We'll run this one as a test.

we are indeed going to Deli our Maps. I have tried two Deli orbs. I have tried three and four Deli orbs, and I've tried one Deli orb. Me personally, I am a big fan of the one Deli orb. I don't think you need to go past one Deli orb. I think one Deli orb feels really, really, really good. Now this is my test tree. We have this labeled as test. You see this is the tree that we just talked about. We're going to put this in. We're going to make sure that's on. We're going to do this. We're going to select Eer of Worlds, and as far as a map device option goes, we are going to select Ambush. Now you're going to see when we get inside of this map now why containment scarabs are so important for tier 177 Maps. Grant that they probably would have just as many maps in a regular map or many strong boxes in a regular map, but I just don't know yet if 16s are worth the price. If any of you

guys have tried containment scarabs in 16, you know, in eight moded 16 maps, and they've been good. Please leave a comment down below if we get good information, and we put it together. We'll make sure we get it pinned so people could see it. But you can see right now this map has 43 additional strong boxes. That's a lot, and it's 46% additional currency in the area found. So usually, you know, of course, because we're recording, we're probably not going to have insane luck, but usually when we do these maps, we easily break even and usually profit, especially like if you can kill the map boss. Like the fragments alone are insane. Now as far as 17 go, my favorite 17 map is Sanctuary. I love doing Sanctuary. Sanctuary is an absolute blessing of a map. If you are doing 17s and you want to make the maximum amount of profit from a 17, you're going to want to do either forit, not Fortress, Citadel, or Abomination. Is it Citadel or is it

zigurat. It's zigat. The one with Katarina. The Katarina is in zigurat. Zigat. I'm pretty sure it's zigat. Zigurat and Abomination have the best waiting towards the best Uber frags for most amount of profit. So, those are, you know, the Min Maxi ways to do. I really like this map a lot, and I like fighting Lysa. So, for me, this one's a no-brainer. These Maps, depending on your build and your character, and if you're like, you know, not really try Harding, they can take a couple of minutes to run through. But the rewards are really, really, really good. Now, you'll see right away I'm picking up a lot of these small currencies because of the currency exchange in Faus. A lot of these small currencies this league hold a lot of weight, like a lot of weight, and they're definitely 100% of the time worth picking up because they're so easy to flip on the currency exchange, and people are buying them all the time. You are just making extra, and I

mean tons and tons and tons of currency using the currency exchange. Now, your div per hour or profit per map is really going to depend a lot on a couple of things. One, were you able to do a really good map? Were you able to complete the map? Were you able to kill the map boss? Did your boxes reopen? What kind of boxes did you get? How much loot did you loot? What kind of loot did you pick up? Are you selling all the small currencies? Are you able to do everything? There's a lot, a lot, a lot of factors that really go into the whole Divine per hour aspect of it. You know, were you able to do all the altars? How much gold did you get? Are you flipping? Are you not flipping? Are you picking up the small currencies? So, the profit that I make versus The Profit that you make versus The Profit that your friend makes is probably overall going to be different. Now, if you're sitting there and you're doing these Maps really, really, really fast. Oh, nice. You're doing these Maps really, really

really fast. You're blasting them no problem. You're in, you're out. Everything looks good. You'll be making a really good chunk of currency really fast. I think it was F gun that was saying that he was making um, I wanted to say upwards to like 25 divs an hour. I really, why is this lit up like that? It's really, what, what is going on? That's so, I don't know, that's weird. But I, I want to say that fub gun said he was making upwards to 25 divs an hour. Now, I've been doing this, whoops, I stood in the saw. I've been doing this for the last two or 3 days. I have easily been buying, you know, a mirror shard every like couple of hours, and the profit in itself has been relatively good. The biggest thing that slows me down with strong boxes and all seriousness is like, well, I'm mostly just an airhead. I'll be, I'll be real man. Puzzle box to let's go dude, nice dude, we're

easily, easily profit. This map already man puzzle box is 1.3 divs pandemonium scar, which I didn't put away. You know, two to a div, like it doesn't get much better than that. We're not even like a, we're like what, a quarter way into this map man. Oh baby bro, let's go dude. Oh my God, yeah this Farm is so good, especially, especially if you can do it faster than me. Yeah, I die, I know I die, my character dies. It's not the best Showcase of the character, I'm sorry, but you know, bleeds suck and sometimes you just can't out heal the bleed and you just die and things happen. Don't yell at me, I'm sorry, I know, I know, but I want to get through the map. I want to show the map. I want to show all the currency that you get and I mean like look, I could end this map right now and I'd be up so it doesn't even matter to me man. I'm already winning. I get more money if I finish the

map no problem, but maybe if I uh didn't get hit by the saws, I would be okay. If anybody's wondering what the weird coloring is on this, it's the um, it's uh, the new never sync up update. If you guys have been paying attention. Oh, I did it again. I stood in the blood saw. I literally just talked about not doing that. This is the beauty of creating content, not paying attention and talking to people. Oh no, dude. But yeah, uh, nevering just did an update where you can actually uh, highlight bases to dust, which is really, really, really cool. So that's what those are for, anybody wondering why I'm showing those. And then we got some stuff here. Here, this is the third time we're reopening this Jeweler box, which is really nice. Anything good there? No, let's move on. Okay, so maybe blood saws are a little bit of a pain and I should probably not do them when I'm not 100% focused on what I'm doing, but this is fine, right? This is okay. What is this?

I don't know what that is. I don't think I've ever seen that. Such weird stuff, man. Feel like, you know, no matter how much you play Path of Exile, you're always constantly finding things that you've never seen before. Look at all the skyms, my God. No, no, no, no, no. Okay, dude, the blood sauce, man. I just said it too. I'm looking Divine, man. Let's go, nice man. See, I'm telling you, man. I can't make this up, man. These maps with containment scarabs, bro, literally, they're literally free. They're absolutely, they're just free money. You just can't beat them, especially if you can go quick, man. If you're playing some like hex blast or some pennant spring or some sort of trickster that's just like blowing through these 17s, man, you are just like destined, bro. Destined to literally print money. It, no, no, no, we're good, we're good, we're good. Can't tank the meatballs, can take everything else. You can't kill me. I love this build, man. This build is

awesome dude. It is 96% block, 2,000 life regen, 13 charges of each type. Penance brand, it's just crazy dude. It's such a cool build. All right, let's go right here. We'll pop this box. We'll pop this box. We'll speed it up a little bit so that people aren't like going like, Oh my God, he does the slowest maps in history. No, no, I lied. I did the slowest map in history. Okay, all right, no more rushing. Six portals, I know, but 17s in themselves, man, they can be pretty hard. They can be pretty deadly if you like, you know, don't really pay attention and you just mess around. We're going to not loot anything else going forward. We're just going to focus on finishing the map. I should have also dumped my inventory. That was a rookie mistake. Get this Grands and you can just see for yourself just all the currency that's like coming out of this map, you know, puzzle box, Divine pandemonium plus

everything else you're just profit, and you see there's boxes on boxes on boxes. This box is reopening again. How many boxes we've reopened? All the chaos orbs, all the different Jewelers, the Val orbs, the chisels, pretty much everything that you would ever... We're dead again. Are we dead again? Are we literally dying? We're literally dying. We're regening. We're regening. We're not dead. We're not dead. We feel good. Tons and tons of different scarabs now. Our scarabs for this map have been on the lower side, and that's because our map is rolled for 200% quantity. Now, if we have ruled the map to be a nice, you know, a nice split of scarabs and a nice split of quantity, you would have seen a huge difference in terms of the scarabs that we've gotten. But I mean, 200% Quant just for currency? I mean, it's so hard to pass up on. It's absolutely so hard to pass up on. And then we're going to come over

Here, we're going to go into the portal. We're going to just take a look at Lys. We'll give her a little cursy-poo, a little kissy-poo, and then we'll just like stand inside of everything 'cause we're tanky. She's going to do her little thing. Little, little gu is going to show up. We're just going to run all around. We're going to show off just actually the build working. If I don't die to blood SS. No, no. I was trying to do something. The blood saw's got me, man. The blood saw's got me, dude. There's going to be somebody who's going, Oh, this build [__]. You see him die, bro. Be like, Those blood saws, man. They like, yeah, blood saws, this xdd. All right, don't die. Don't don't four% me here, Ela. Nice, easy. Let's go. Let's loot this. Let's grab this. We'll take this. We don't care about that. Oh, we got a ping.

already we'll slow that in a minute. We have two of them now as sell. That's it man, that's the whole map. You see we got this, this is easily 1.1 divs and we're just you know 1.1 there plus the valdo Box plus the Divine so that's 2.4 right, 2.4. Then the pandemonium is like another div or half a div so that's uh what 29, 293 plus all the small stuff. The void cards are 3C each yeah I'm selling them for 3C each on the exchange. It's actually crazy we have chisels, Alex fusings, pretty much due everything that you could like literally ask for and if you're willing to run around and loot it all it's pretty nuts. And this map alone we got 77,000 gold and that's on the lower end of things. Usually when I run these Maps I get close to about 100, 110,000 sometimes 115,000 and essentially I've done these maps for

like two days. I might have done, I don't know, a good handful of these maps, and I have enough gold in my town to last me, I think it's like six days right now, of not having to worry about anything. And you see, we just run [Music] around, we make sure we grabbed everything, we didn't leave anything behind, we feel really good, and we're out of here. Yeah, the map took a little long, that map was a little rough, a little deadly. We died a couple of times, but overall we feel relatively good now. Like I mentioned, I went from putting this Build Together to having no currency at all to pretty much just only doing this farm for the last couple of days, and I'm up 13 mirror shards, like very, very easily up 13 mirror shards without like a whole lot of problems. Now just to reiterate, like I mentioned, I'm up 13 mirror shards. I actually just sold those fragments. This gentleman just bought the fragments that I job. Then overall, it's been doing really, really, really good.

downside, like I mentioned, the 17s are a little bit hard. You saw me, you know, I died a couple of times. The blood saw is not the best map modifier. The maps can take a little bit long, you know, that map took me 11 minutes. CU, I spent too much time yapping, but overall, the maps themselves, they feel really good. The returns are insane, you know, especially if you're not just yapping and you're going straight forward and you're doing the map. You see a lot of really cool stuff. You saw things that were dropping in the map that were good for dusting. You'll get tons of uniques, tons of small currencies, pretty much just everything that you could possibly want to just progress your town and do everything. Now, I had mentioned that I made 77,000 gold in this map, and over the last couple of days, I've managed to make 1.6 million gold. I easily get money, and my town can run for days. Right now, I have my town going for about 5 days. I don't have

anything to worry about. I'm currently stockpiling crops so I can send a big shipment. So I'll talk about that in a video to you. I'll send my shipment. We'll see what we get. And then yeah man you honest honestly dude you can't beat it. BDO box fragment Deon pandemonium small scarabs tons of small currencies. And then I don't know man maybe there's a boat in this. That don't look like a boat. This looks like I'm going to be very disappointed. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be very disappointed. But for now friends if you've enjoyed this video and this was helpful or you have any questions or comments feel free to leave a comment here. I'll be uploading this video to YouTube to rumble. I'll be streaming it a little bit over on Twitch and YouTube. And you guys if you have any questions or you want me to try any cool Farms or something you want me to explore feel free to let me know. For now friends I'm

going to uh. I'm going to cry over this valdo box and what I got. I'm get this video out to you guys, and I'll see you all the next one. foil made breath no.

[POE 3.25] Tier 17 Strongbox Farming Is Out Of Control! How I Am Making My Riches Opening Up Boxes!

Travic

The speaker is currently focusing on farming strong boxes, inspired by friends' success and Twitch chat recommendations.

The farming strategy involves taking nodes for additional strong boxes, scarabs, map duplication, and extra monster packs.

The speaker has been testing this strategy in tier 17 maps and has seen great success, with a friend also thriving in tier 16 maps using a similar approach.

Optimizing Map Runs with Scarab Nodes and Strong Boxes

The strategy involves cutting out Beyond and focusing on Scarab nodes for more influence mods and mobs.

Five additional strong boxes will be added to the map, with a 31% chance to reopen and an increased effect of explicit modifiers.

The Ambush Scarab of containment, though costly, is deemed essential for tier 17 maps, while the setup for tier 16 maps involves using one of each scarab and rolling for the hardest 16-mod corrupted maps.

The speaker's build allows them to successfully tackle a majority of Tier 17 maps, with a focus on rolling maps for scarabs and currency.

They aim for a total of 150% or better in scarabs and currency, spending time to find the best rolls.

The speaker prefers using one Deli orb for their map runs and emphasizes the importance of containment scarabs for maximizing rewards in Tier 17 maps.

Containment scarabs have been effective in 16-moded maps, with the current map offering 43 additional strong boxes and 46% more currency.

The favorite 17 map is Sanctuary, with Citadel and Zigurat (Katarina's location) offering the best Uber fragments for profit.

The profit per map varies based on factors like map completion, boss kills, loot, and small currency flipping.

Making Quick Currency Through Strong Boxes

The speaker is making a significant amount of currency quickly, with a friend reportedly earning 25 divs an hour.

They have been consistently buying mirror shards and profiting from strong boxes over the past few days.

Despite some challenges, such as dying in the game and getting distracted, the overall farming experience has been lucrative.

Making Money in Path of Exile: A Gameplay Experience

The player is constantly discovering new things in Path of Exile, highlighting the game's unpredictability.

They emphasize the profitability of maps with containment scarabs, especially when playing fast-paced builds.

The player's build is impressive, with high block chance, life regen, and multiple charges, leading to a successful run and significant currency gains from the maps.

The player showcases a tanky build while running through a map, successfully looting valuable items and accumulating gold.

Despite dying a couple of times, the player manages to gather 77,000 gold in one run, with the potential to make up to 115,000 gold over several days.

After two days of farming, the player has earned 13 mirror shards, significantly increasing their currency and resources.

The 17s are challenging, with the blood saw map modifier making it tough, but the maps offer great returns and valuable drops.

6 million gold, easily sustaining my town for days.

I'm stockpiling crops for a big shipment and will be exploring more farms and cool activities in future videos.
