Rejoice, Nomad, for my Atlas Trees approach, and they seek to assist you in your struggle in Path of Exile 3.25: Settlers of Kelger Talana. My fellow Exiles, welcome to another Path of Exile one video. Now, my opening wasn't as great as the Nomad's delivery of our first introduction to him when we're fighting the Maven, but hopefully my delivery of these three Atlas passive skill tree starters will be at least decent because you know Atlas Trees, they're subjective, right? They're not objective things like builds. There's no drama that needs to surround Atlas passives. I'm just going to talk about exactly what my strategies are going to be to start the league, and hopefully some of you guys can learn exactly how you can craft your perfect Atlas passive skill tree for whatever build you are League starting. So right here, I'm going to open up my browser to Poe Planner. This is where I make all of my Atlas passive trees. It's very easy to craft them and share them. It's all up

to date with the 3.25 information. I have three of them right here. We're going to briefly go over all three, with the most focus set on the first one because this is how I will be starting 3.25 on my bleed lacerate Gladiator. That's my starter. It's apparently the starter of many other people out there too. My build guide was nowhere near as good as some other people's that I saw. I'll link them in my original build guide video, and you know, build guide. That's not even what my video was. It was more so a starter discussion. Anyway, what you run in the atlas, this is lesson one everyone. What you run in the atlas very much depends on what your build is. So, me, I will be playing a gladiator focused on bleeding and big explosions. So, I want enemies to be nearby each other. I don't want them to be far apart. I don't want to do something like Legion where everything is super spread out. Okay, I'm looking for dense mechanics. So, you can see in my

tree here. I'm of course going for all the standard nodes, wherein I'm going to get map drops and help sustain myself, so I don't have to trade for maps. I'm not into that. If you don't want to have to trade for maps either, I recommend that you get all these standard nodes: shaping the skies, then you get this right here, shaping the mountains. Grab these nodes right here, shaping the world, and commissioned officer so you get kirak missions. Those help you really fill out your Atlas because KX missions are going to be maps that you have not completed yet if they are available for you to run. So in addition to those nodes, I am specking into Harvest fully. There are two reasons for this. The first is of course because of the build that I am playing with, bleed Las rate Gladiator. I focus on the gratuitous violence note and the big explosions and really just destroying monsters super quickly. So with Harvest, everything is super dense. It's packed together. My bleeds and my explosions are going to do massive

damage that's simple. It's great for my build, and I enjoy Harvest too. The second reason is because with Harvest, especially with this new Currency Exchange Market, it's basically like your Classic Gold trading system. You're farming life force, which people use to craft, and you can trade Life Force if you're in trade League. I'm going to go hardcore trade to start, so I will just be selling all the yellow, blue, and purple life force that I get and saving a little bit for myself because in addition to selling for quite a bit, especially if you stack stuff up by using Harvest scarabs and the like, you can actually make some divines, which is great to fund the rest of your build, and you can roll a lot of the items that you get. I often use Harvest early in the league to roll Maps. I use it to roll basic rares and hope that I can get a lucky roll on an amethyst ring or something like that. A lot of times I actually look out, so I actually enjoy Harvest as a mechanic, even though it's

in its heavily nerfed state from where it was back when it was originally implemented in Harvest league. So I'm going to immediately path to those mapping nodes, the kak node, and all the Harvest nodes here. And then I'm not going to go left along the tree. I'm going to go right because I'm a Gambling Man. I'm in Harvest. I'm not going to go for Exar to start, which is the way you want to go for a steady stream of currency. No, I'm going to go for eer altars, okay? Because for those of you who don't know, you might be new to the game, eer Alters have a very small chance, I'd say an abysmal chance, to spawn something called a Divine Altar. And this causes Divine orbs to drop from eater monsters in your map. And if you luck out and get this early on in the league, oh my goodness, you're instantly Rich. You're able to fund basically your entire build. Maybe if you need to buy a challenge or two, it funds that too. It's wonderful.

I've had it happen to me in every single League I've done it, except one, and that was last League, unfortunately, but I still go for it every single time. So I'm going to path up along the right-hand side, get all the eater nodes, and then start pathing up. Grab these eater nodes here, and then I'm going to get intelligence gathering as well. This helps fill up safe houses, which are easy experience for all players. They're very easy to clear and they give lots of experience and they work your way toward that Mastermind kill and veiled orbs. They're pretty valuable, so if you're slowly working your way up to a Mastermind or Katarina kill every, you know, I don't know what is it, maybe 30 or so Maps, that's totally worth it for these four nodes right here. I always grab it on League start. I'm going to skip by this Scarab node, at least initially, and keep pathing up. And if I'm in Reds and I'm consistently doing them by the time I reach up here, I'm going to

grab the conquered conqueror. So I get more conqueror Maps. I'm going to get remnants of the past. So I get Guardian maps. And then I'm going to go over to here to get synthesis Maps as well. And then after I have all my t16 mapping nodes right there. I'm going to get the Scarab nodes as well. And then path down into this Center wheel and get the Quant. Get the Rarity. And of course get the last Harvest cluster right here. You might also see that I grab a few other clusters here too that some other people might not like. Those are Shrine nodes. I find that they're great. They buff up your character. They give you a few extra packs in every single map. And they make map clearing just you know super easy. So I enjoy shrines. And if I'm going hardcore and I make it all the way to Maps. I think that I need something that'll boost my character and ensure I do not die. That's the gist of map number one. It's harvest. It's shrines. And it's

Eater of Worlds, because I like to gamble. I get all the guardian nodes so I can get those special Maps when I kill the map boss, and I'm really just focusing on generating currency through Harvest and making sure it's a mechanic that I can easily pop everything with my particular build. If you learn nothing else from this video, learn that you want to craft your Atlas strategy around your league starter, because I'd argue that the atlas strategy you go with is even more important than your starter at the end of the day. CU if you're a, you know, true PA of Exile player that plays into end game, you want to make sure that you're crafting and carving out the content that you really enjoy playing. Okay, and this Atlas passive skill tree allows you to do just that, but don't worry because if you tire of playing one particular form of content with your starter, you can always swap to a second and a third Atlas passive skill tree. That was a feature added in 3.2 for necropolis League, and I'm going to be making use of

it in this league too, and I'm going to go over those two trees very quickly in this video for you all today. Basically, anyone who's played late-game Path of Exile should be familiar with the shape of this particular Atlas passive skill tree because it's basic. It's a bossing skill tree that focuses on killing mon mat bosses at the end of the map and utilizing the maven and destructive play. We're not speccing into any alter nodes here. We're only going for all the Quant, all the increased map modifier effects, everything that affects map bosses and their drops, and then making sure we get a ton of them with this destructive play node right here. For those of you who might be new, I'm going to read this off right here and explain exactly why this node is so important. So, the maven casts up the stakes, summoning one to three additional Atlas bosses when witnessing map bosses. The number of additional bosses summoned is higher if there are fewer monsters remaining in the map modifiers to the final map boss in each.

map also apply to these summoned bosses essentially. This allows you to spawn a ton of map bosses at the end of every single map you run, and they are affected by all these nodes that I'm hovering over here that drop these rare and powerful maps that allow you to sustain Maven invitations. Now, last League, these weren't as valuable as before, but they still sold for quite a pretty penny, and they're very fun to run. So, that's essentially why this is always my second strategy in any League. I like bossing, I like fighting bosses, so I always carve out this Atlas passive skill tree at some point in the league. I plan on doing the same with Settlers of Kelgar again. If you enjoy fighting bosses, especially the Maven and her invitations, I highly recommend trying out that Atlas passive skill tree. Like the first tree, the link is in the description below. Hey, I'm big now, and you can also see the Atlas passive skill tree, the third one in fact, and this one's pretty simple as well.

it's called my backup. I need to farm basic currency back last strategy otherwise known as the Searing exarc strategy. So this is very similar to tree number two with the maven, except now instead of focusing on all these Maven nodes right here, we have swapped over to all the Searing exarc nodes on the left-hand side of the tree. This is really good if you're looking for that bubble gum currency that you need for certain upgrades like chaos orbs, glass blowers, bubles, and the like. This drops those like candy from the altars, and if you don't want to go for the jackpot with tree number one in the Eater of Worlds, if you don't want to farm a whole bunch of bosses or fragments and fight the maven, then I recommend you go for this very basic strategy. You're just running Maps, you're clicking on Alters, you're picking up lots of currency, and you're zoning everything else out. It's pretty fun, and with the league mechanic being a stand in a circle and fight then.

collect resources. I actually think this will be a pretty compelling basic initial strategy for most PoE players. Like the other two trees, this one is in the description below. So, my fellow Exiles, those are my three initial starter trees for 3.25 Settlers of Keler. What strategy do you plan on playing in your initial run through of the Atlas? Like I said, it's very build dependent, and as you sit there and prepare your league starter, make sure not to discount the importance of your Atlas passive skill rate. It's going to be vital to making sure you have fun and a successful League start in those first three to four days. You know, up to a week, who knows how long it'll take me to get there on Hardcore. It might be quite a while. Regardless, I know I need to focus on it. It's something that I always prepare beforehand, so when I hit Maps, I have a solid strategy at hand. I could not recommend it enough. If you have any suggestions for my tree or anything you'd like to share below about your own

make sure to leave a comment below. I'd love to read them. I'm reading everything - good, bad, ugly, whatever. I like to read the comments. I have a thick skin now, so you can say whatever you want to me, and I will take it like a champ. I'll keep plugging it.
