↖ 1. Invitation Farming

This method revolves around farming Maven Invitations by killing map bosses. With careful planning and execution, you can generate consistent profits from boss fragments, Maven's Rits, awakened gems, and more.

How It Works?

• Atlas Tree Setup: Focus on boss drop notables for Synth, Guardian, and Conqueror maps. Use the Destructive Play Keystone and invest in map sustain nodes.
• Map Device Settings: Select "Quantity" from the map device—no scarabs are required.
• Build Recommendation: Use a build with high single-target damage and mobility, such as a Reap Miner or any fast character with spammable mobility skills.

Stages of Invitation Farming

1. Stage 1 : Regular Maps

• Run Tier 14+ maps with Maven Witness active.
• Kill all monsters on your way to the boss to maximize Maven boss spawns.
• After 10 bosses are witnessed, run the Maven Invitation. Roll it for at least 60% quantity for better rewards.

2. Stage 2: Guardian Invitations

• Farm Elder Guardian maps, Shaper Guardian maps, Conqueror maps, or Synthesis maps.
• Use Horizon Orbs to convert maps into the ones you need.
• Complete full sets of these maps and run their respective invitations for big payouts.

3. Stage 3: The Feared Invitation

• Collect Elder fragments, Shaper fragments, Cortex maps, Uber Atziri fragments, and Chayula Breachstones.
• Run Feared Invitations or sell full sets to other players for profit.

Profitable Drops

• Boss fragments (Elder/Shaper/Cortex)
  
• Maven's Rits and chests
  
• Awakened Gems
  
• Orbs of Conflict
  
• T16-T17 maps
  

↖ 2. Legion Dunes Farming

Legion Dunes farming focuses on maximizing loot from rare monsters in Legion encounters. With the right setup, this strategy yields consistent profits from raw currency, emblems, and other valuable items.

Link: https://poeplanner.com/a/anT

How It Works?

• Atlas Tree Setup: Allocate nodes for Legion mechanics and choose between Red or Blue Altars based on your preference. If Delirium Mirrors are too challenging, swap them for Shrine nodes for an easier run.
• Scarabs:
  • 1 Legion Scarab (Officer)
  • 3 Regular Legion Scarabs
  • 1 Flex (e.g., Cartography Scarab)
• Map Device Settings: Select "Legion" for additional spawns.

Build Recommendation

Choose a build with large AoE coverage or projectile proliferation to clear mobs efficiently. Examples include:

• Bow builds
• Ignite Proliferation builds with Explode mechanics
• Exsanguinate with Chain

Notes:

• Map Selection: Use open-layout maps like Dunes with predictable boss locations.
• Boss First: Kill the map boss early to increase the chance of quantity/rarity buffs from remaining altars.
• Delirium Mirror: If running Delirium, stop after reaching six rewards for maximum efficiency.

Profitable Drops

• Raw currency (Divine Orbs, Chaos Orbs)
  
• Stacked Decks (sell in bulk)
  
• Emblems (sell in full sets to Legion runners)
  
• Fossils, uniques, and fractured items

Kirac Beast Missions are a straightforward and lucrative strategy for farming valuable beasts that are otherwise unobtainable. 

What You'll Need?

• Red Tier Kirac Missions
• Scouting Reports
• Primal Cystcaller Beast (optional for unlocking missions)

How to Execute?

• Obtain Kirac Missions: Farm these naturally through other strategies or buy a Primal Cystcaller Beast and kill it in the Menagerie to unlock five Kirac missions.
• Reroll Missions: Use Scouting Reports to refresh Kirac's available missions.  Alternatively, open any random mission and exit immediately to refresh Kirac's options.
• Look for Specific Maps: Prioritize maps with "Enchanted Area Contains Capturable Harvest Beasts." Also, consider running Untainted Paradise (great XP) and Conqueror Maps (chance to drop Exalted Orbs).
• Capture Valuable Beasts: Learn to recognize the most profitable beasts (use POE Ninja or trade websites for prices). Open your Bestiary in the map to track newly captured beasts.
• Sell or Use Beasts for Profit: Extract beasts using Bestiary Orbs and sell them on the trade market. Alternatively, use beasts for crafting to maximize profits.

Notes:

• Use a build capable of comfortably killing red beasts in T16 maps.
• Skip over low-value red beasts to save time.
• Leave the map immediately after killing all red beasts.

↖ 9. Blight Ravaged Maps

Blight Ravaged Maps are another excellent strategy for farming a wide variety of loot. These maps can be run without an Atlas tree and are accessible at any stage of progression.

What You'll Need?

• Blight Ravaged Maps
• Sacrifice Fragments (4 pieces for extra quantity)
• Freeze Ring Anointment (1 Silver Oil + 1 Opalescent Oil)

How to Execute?

1. Prepare Your Maps

Chisel your maps for extra quantity. Roll modifiers carefully; avoid ones that prevent slowing, freezing, or stunning. Use oils for additional loot:

• Budget Option: Violet, Red, and Black Oils.
• Max Profit: 3 Teal, 3 Silver, 2 Black, and 1 Opalescent Oil.
• Golden Oils can replace Black Oils if they cost less than half a Divine Orb.

2. Build Setup

• Use builds that scale damage from corpse life (e.g., Detonate Dead, Cremation).
• Ensure your build can handle proxy shields and monster proliferation.
• A Poison Cremation Pathfinder is an excellent choice for this strategy.

3. Tower Placement

• Use Chilling and Stunning Towers to block monster paths.
• Build an extra Glacial Cage near the pump for added defense.
• Buff towers with Green Empowering Towers and add damage towers once paths are secure.

4. Loot Efficiently

Use a caster mastery for faster chest looting. Sell the following high-value items:

• Item Level 85+ Bases
  
• Item Level 85+ Flasks and Abyss Jewels
  
• Oils, Raw Currency, Sacrifice Fragments, Scarabs
  
• Natural Atlas Maps (for completing your Atlas)
  
• Stack Decks and valuable Fractured or Synthesized Items
  

Notes:

• Avoid modifiers that make monsters immune to crowd control effects.
• Use low-tier oils if you're just starting out; upgrade as your build improves.
• Focus on maximizing quantity while ensuring you can clear the map comfortably.

↖ 10. Menagerie Farming

This method revolves around converting low-cost beasts into high-value items. It's simple, efficient, and doesn't require an Atlas tree or specialized gear.

Key Steps:

1. Check Market Prices: Use POE Ninja to identify profitable beast crafting recipes. Look for items like Sakawal Farrell or Chryion and Feedomous.
2. Farm Cheap Beasts: Focus on beasts required for boss portals or crafting aspects. 
3. Profit from Boss Fights:
   • Use cheap beasts to open portals.
   • Defeat the boss to obtain guaranteed boss beasts and unique items.
   • Corrupt cheaper uniques for rare implicit modifiers.
4. Extra Note: Farm Primal Rex Matriarch for synthesis maps. The beast is often half the price of the map, allowing you to sell maps or use them in bulk runs.

Why It Works?

• Low initial investment.
• Guaranteed returns from boss fights.
• High demand for synthesis maps and corrupted uniques.

↖ 11. Menagerie Rushing Farming

This strategy focuses on farming Searing Exarch or Eater of Worlds invitations by quickly rushing through maps.

Link: https://poeplanner.com/a/FxR

How to Execute?

1. Map Setup: Choose two adjacent maps with predictable boss locations (e.g., Mesa and Park). Favorite these maps to increase their drop rates.
2. Run the Maps:
   • Option 1: Skip killing bosses until you're about to earn an invitation. Then, kill the boss in the final map for the invitation.
   • Option 2: Kill the boss in every map for sustained map drops and additional rewards.
3. Optimize Your Atlas Tree: Use the Searing Exarch wheel for red invitations. Use the Eater of Worlds wheel for blue invitations.
4. Look for Lab Trials: Improved labyrinth trials can drop valuable lab keys worth as much as invitations.

High movement speed or spammable mobility skills. Focus on survivability and quick map clearing.

Profitable Drops:

• Searing Exarch/Eater of Worlds invitations.
• Guardian T7 synthesis maps, Conqueror maps, and lab fragments.

↖ 12. Crop Rotation Harvest Farming

This strategy involves scaling yellow life force for bulk sales. It requires some investment but offers quick returns due to high demand.

Link: https://poeplanner.com/a/FxE

What You Need?

Scarabs

• Horned Scarab of Awakening.
  
• Harvest Scarab of Doubling.
  
• Influenced Scarab of the Hordes.

3. Clear Strategy: Trigger as many altars as possible, prioritizing quantity or divine orb altars. Avoid unnecessary difficulty by skipping altars that don't offer valuable rewards.
4. Harvest Plots: Clear unwanted colors (blue or purple) first. Buff yellow plots and farm them last for maximum profit.
5. Sell Life Force: Yellow life force sells quickly in bulk on the trade exchange.

Notes: Run Sacred Blossoms dropped by bosses or sell them for additional profit.
