I've been playing spark lately, and the caster mastery for opening chests works on strongboxes, so it actually lets me pre-fire the area around the boxes, then the monsters spawn into the sparks and instantly die, while I'm on the other side of the screen. very handy tech

Hello,if i want a specific div cards from strongboxes,for example Brothers gift or the apothecary,i should run this strat on those specific maps that has those cards? Or all the cards from strongbox are random?

@PathofEvening

Ones inside the strongboxes are random, but ones from the tons and tons and tons of mobs that the strongboxes spawn will be the ones from that map. So yes, but not a hard yes.

Just recently found your channel and have been loving all your vids! How is regular TR PF for this strat? I have a sparkmage that is good for the farms but is a little slow even with a HH and am almost done leveling my TR. TR is so fast but ran mine is a little squishy so idk if a properly leveled one would be good for this.

@PathofEvening

Thanks! TR PF handles this strategy really well. It zooms through maps as usual, and most of the monsters in Strongboxes aren't very dangerous, so it cuts right through them!

Boxes are great fun with a caster when you can spare the mastery to open them automatically on a map like Crimson Temple or Defiled Cathedral that's all straight and narrow pathways I farmed my MB and Awakened Spell Echo in Harvest, which was a miserable experience towards the end with how rippy Crop Rotation can be and the dry spells it gives you, but playing this strat after that one is a breath of fresh air. Definitely helps when you got yourself a build that can ignore all the bad map mods and altar downsides and take all the quant all the time

Great video! But what about scarab of potency? Why dont we go 2 ambush 1 potency and 1 discerment scarab?

@PathofEvening

21 күн бұрын

You can, but you're generally going to get more value out of adding more Strongboxes & juicing the interaction with the Lantern/Allflames. Potency is really good if you're using Containment Scarabs to force 40+ Strongboxes into each map.

what ppl often forget on the hidden compratment scarab is that its not capped to open again once. i dont really know the math sadly but its more than 15% more strongboxes

@PathofEvening

20 күн бұрын

It's around 20%, which is still less than 5 more Strongboxes until you're over about 25.

​@@PathofEvening​any recommendations for non-mf strat other than essence farming? Around 30-40/d hour.

Please hidden compartments is the optimal scarab. Combined with the atlas tree you have 31% chance to open a strongbox. Again, and again. Because of the fact that you can open it again and again and it's 31% chance it is way better than 1 more ambush scarab.

16% of that is the passive tree. Hidden Compartments is mathematically weaker if you're getting fewer than 25 strongboxes in a map.

Cartography strong boxes are worth it I think. double any t17 you get from them, favouriting popular maps to bulk sell, plus you very often get vaal temple maps which are worth a fair bit.

Considering everything in the tab is liquid currency and scarabs, it's fine.

I wonder how much these "super cheap" farms are actually of value, who is looking for them. I find that its much more likely for someone to not want to trade for scarabs than for them to not want to spend more than 4c on scarabs per map. Or more clearly - I cant possibly imagine that the playerbase who simultaneously is fine with purchasing scarabs but on the other hand is unwilling to spend more than 4c per map on them cant be very large. If you are willing to purchase scarabs at all you are probably fine with spending a bit more to pursue the highest possible returns. If you arent willing to purchase scarabs then you are most likely to be the playerbase that is looking for cheaper farms but even at 4c are not likely to buy scarabs. I feel like content creators tend to forget that GGG is a smart company. They explicitly say they keep trading inconvenient for the purpose of putting up barriers that discourage players from excessively trading, and then content creators go "That doesnt work, I still trade and this just makes it crappier" without considering the fact that many people DO infact choose to trade less explicitly because of how tedious trading is in this game. If the current PITA trading didnt work and not a single person ever chose not to trade because of it GGG would have made trading simpler long ago because it would actually not be serving their purpose.
