Awesome video, this will definately help with my divination card farming! I love that you're so chill and laid back, keep up the great work!! 😁

I always enjoy grabbing myself a drink and soaking up some of your analytical explanations. Thanks again!

Love how informative this video was as I am finally enjoying farming this season I found it so informative. Thank you!

Looking forward to your challenge guide, especially on div cards. Got 10 challenges so far.

Very nice video. As a regualr player but not veteran, i find this very very informative and i know now what maps i want to farm. Thank you !

Worth mentioning that the only two fortunate-drop-enabled maps that connect with eachother feature on your top 10: Dunes/Mesa. This makes it much easier to sustain just those maps and think deserves a bump up as a result, or at least a mention.

I try to get this out each league as it's something people always ask for & I see heaps of people search for the now-out-of-date 3.21 one.

Awesome mechanical analysis as usual. Thank you!

Fantastic presentation. I usually hate the "tier list" type videos where people just use the format because well, its meta to deliver this type of information. Then they proceed to drop information in a one liner fashion where your only left with more questions than questions answered. Your delivery was clear and detailed in why you reach these conclusions, great job! Shirt did give me acid flashback tho .

City Square is definitely worth an honourable mention here. Extremely good for harbinger farming (which is also quite profitable on its own) as well as being a small fairly dense and open map with narrow corridors on the side so dece or good layout for basically every mechanic. Also very easy to boss rush on and is connected to Crimson Temple so you can sell connected map drops quite easily. It does have Home (random exceptional gem with quality) but all the other div cards are meh, which is probably what held it back on Gog's list.

For new players and old players alike, don't forget that expedition logbooks yield a great number of divination cards. You will get higher end div cards at a faster rate than running juiced maps. And if you do decide to run maps for cards, try using monstrous treasure option on your map device with winged or gilded scarabs for divination cards and extra strong boxes. If you are lucky, you will get between 1-3 diviners strong boxes. Take your time to with diviner strong boxes. Use engineer's orbs for 20% quality. Then spam the diviners strong box like a normal piece of gear. Alt and Aug spamming boxes with Regal orb is the cheapest way to craft strong boxes. Chaos orb the strong boxes if the got the extra $$$. Hope this helps. This method also works for obtaining high level boots for 35 movement speed. Just role +3 level to strong box in tier 16 maps, and always get level 86 boots for elevated speed mod.

i always wondered about Boss boosting(quant and things like tormented spirits), how do they affect certain drops? for example writhing invitation well rolled , would that mean The Infinite Hunger has bigger chance to drop his card(stranglegrasp and high tier currency like exceptional ember) or just means he drops more rare/unique random drops?Same goes for elder bosses etc, is it worth it to make them harder od one should just speed rush white maps and just do invitations

Any recommendations for Breaches? Have considered Beach/Shore pingpong but dunes doesn’t really have a good connected map iirc :/

Hi sirgog - any recommandation to best map to farm for delirium. Using strand for now because of the layout but not sure of my choice.

What would you guys suggest among the top 10 here for Rituals? Was thinking either Cemetery or Haunted Mansion (Haunted seems to have better mob count than crimson temple)

Are you doing a challenge guide like during last league?

I was literally just looking for which maps to swap my favorites to 😁

I am very surprised by Strand not being in the top 10. Best map for delirium miror farm which is very popular this league. Also a very good map to rush content and be sure you won't miss it like you mentioned with Heist. Great video as always tho

@glorybringer8817

strand has shitty mob density

One other aspect i like to see adressed: I am mainly farming delve and harvest this league, so div cards are hardly a factor in what i choose, as i don't get many anyways. I am loving city square because you can run through the entire map very quickly and the boss is easily rushed. It would also be BIS for metamorph strats as well

Looking to rejoin the channel next week, it's been a while but my financial situation has improved. Great work!

I've had a nice success bouncing between Haunted Mansion and Orchard: adjacent maps are easy to sustain without Singular Focus, you don't get bored farming one map exclusevily, very consistent and simple layouts. Also Haunted Mansion hideout is a nice bonus you can sell as well, while Sanguine hideout is basically free.

One map that has the fortunate card that I enjoyed farming is leyline. Ez layout to get to the boss quickly and expeditions would spawn in great places for the new atlas keystone

how does fortunate rarity compare to brothers? is it 30 times more common?

Excellent video. I am currently running Cemetery with legion, but might change to Crimson Temple, I just dislike the layout and the depressing tone of it. Maybe I'll change my monitor settings.

Thanks, very useful and comprehensive. I wish there was a better blight map than tower in the list.

Underground river is nice for blight

Had a Divine beauty drop from eater shrine “drop divination cards that give currency”. Didnt know it was possible, as its boss specific, but yeah

One thing the Crimson Temple analysis overlooks is the very high variance in the results. While it is best on average, by far, the "average" is determined over an infinite number of runs. For a fixed number, it is not that unusual to end up with a zero result. For myself, I farmed CT almost exclusively for 2 leagues with a pretty high juicing strategy and have yet to see an Apothocary card! It was fun, but definitely not successful ;)

i want to point out that of these maps, mesa and dunes can be connected for map sustain.

i love running strand!!

I'd like to mention racecourse for a specific strategy. I've been doing legion, harbinger and strongboxes with eater altars, and multi boss maps are pretty good with the harbinger sextant because each boss drops additional shards in that case. Racecourse also has a pretty decent layout for legion, so it works pretty well for harbinger/legion strats. I gave up chasing cards after I got 0 nurse in 100 juiced towers and 0 apo in about 500 ct

So what atlas strat would be best for farming crimson temple?

@sirgog

10 ай бұрын

There's a lot of options at the moment, delirium with the new Deli keystone works for some people, the new Torment keystone with a very specialised setup works for others, and there's a lot of other things people experiment with. Ideally you are hitting at least 15 Journalist cards per highly-invested map, at that point one Apothecary per hundred maps is the expectation long term.

It all depends on what strat you are using. There are lower investment strats that have higher income per hour than most players have while farming crimson, but they require a suitable map. When you do 3 maps in the time a crimson farmer does one (with all the boss rushing and altar backtracking on a complicated layout), you can afford to make slightly more than 1/3 of their profit to still come ahead. There are strats that accomplish more than that. Those won't beat the uber-high investment fast builds with high MF farming crimson, but those guys can farm anything with huge profit.

Is there something good about Waterways? Everytime I put that map in my stash I constantly get spammed by buyers to purchase the map (I list it for 3 chaos)

i think i have favorited each of those maps except Tower because Tower's layout is on the borderline of obnoxious. i like a little variety rather than running the same map until the heat death of the universe and i like running Maven so favoriting a spread is nice. i'd favorite to block bad maps dropping through that keystone to get even more variety but i haven't heard anything about them fixing that stupid system by which that keystone blocks certain influenced/unique maps from dropping and so i can't be bothered to sort that out... so i don't
