[PoE] Becoming an Essence farmer - Atlas strategies - Based or cringe? - Stream Highlights  

For the People who want to farm Essences via the Boss node on the Atlas Tree, farm them in Volcano Map. The Boss is a Totem that cannot attack, so it doesn't matter how many Essences it has. :)

"Mobs are way more dangerous dead than alive in this game" Proceeds to die to an on-death effect from a mob 2 sec later. Can't make this shit up, lmao.

Alva is no longer possible to put essences in, but honestly I think it added too much to the map time anyway for not much gain. The scarab price will adjust. All in all fun start, requires a not-terrible character and easy to liquidate in bulk (Wealthy exile has bulk selling now if you don't want to use TFT, like I mention in the video). Thanks for watching!

You're the only big youtuber I've seen doing this sort of series, so as a casual andy I just wanna say thanks man. My old strategy is kinda dead this league (destructive play invitation/fragment farming) so this helps heaps.

With new scarabs added in today patch you get More Difficulty+More Reward. Which is scary considering how busted essence mobs can be...

FYI, TFT has a WTB Entire Tab chat where people will buy your entire essence tab. The prices in there tend to be basically the same as what you would get listing in the WTS chat but you save a lot of time by going directly to a buyer.

This has been my favorite poe series by far. Really nice to see someone test out pretty basic strats.

This videos are helping a lot because with all the new changes, i'm very lost about things that are good to farm. A suggestion would be to like compare different scarab strategies too

resonance is rly good in Strand, u get 3 bosses and they all drop essences, I often get like 20-30 from them total

with Crystal Resonance you can leave boss in cull range, do all essences then cull boss, totally bypassing the difficulty. Hardest part is not to blow the boss the fk up so maybe kill 1/2/3 essences before putting boss in culling range

In terms of comparisons, this strat in T16 vs in yellow maps to see how different the rewards are (since it's much simpler), and also a comparison for how much extra % the boss node give vs corrupting.

I love how this series is shining a light on how every farming strategy makes similar div/hour. People always end up mixing and matching and only make 5 div/hour and they get mad at group players like they are the reason they dont make more money. At 12-14 div an hour almost everything is obtainable. Sure you arent going to farm 22 mirrors in a week like big groups but you can still buy mageblood, progenesis, super strong Phys or Ele bow, just about anything you want tbh. 22 mirrors is overkill for literally anything outside of crafting mirror tier items.

At 7:10 the loot didnt disappear or got converted, you just got teleported to The Hallowed Husk (the unique mob) somehow (my guess is the red demon hand appearing inside the hexagon below you, which grabbed you resulting in the teleport). You can see the teleport happening on the minimap. You went from a certain corner of a terrain all the way away into an undiscovered area away from the terrain. That's why nothing dropped.

how strong of a character do you need to do this strat. Im nearing the middle area of explosive arrow builds and i dont think i can do this in t16 maps judging by how much damage you take in the clips you show

Which essence should use the remnants of corruption? Which essence should not be used?

wait did they fix the scarab for the remnant upgrade?

how much ehp and dmg should we build to do this strat

how does this interact with essence scarab of calcification? do the beasts added via scarabs contain scarabs?

Can I do it on the Strand Map? Will the profit be different?

I pulled 55div worth of just ess from 30 maps, over 60 deafening on average per map and 25+ from bosses

Can you maybe do the other essence start and compare them?

if i farm like this at yellow maps, does it works the same?

Can you test breach/beyond with delirium map device in jungle valley for fortunate/sim scarab farm

how are you getting so many essences per mob? im only getting one or two

"Its spreading" is exactly why I discovered that slider and the last time I heard a poe npc.

The boss essence node on the atlas dropped a mirror for me this league while using scarabs and that node. Extremely lucky, but possible.

6:59 first time seeing two essence groups stacking on top of each other

Do you have a PoB or guide for this character? I'm new started in tota2 and I'm still struggling coming up with builds myself. I wanna make a STRstacker wand wielding pathfinder

Guys which build is this? is it good with headhunter?

Keep in mind this is ~15 div with div being 100c. I bet previuoud strats with current div prices will be ~50% more "div per hour"

Hmm, the Necropolis node that makes haunted pack leaders have a 50% increased chance of being rare could be good for this. You go right by it too.

And of course now there is a NEW Essence Scarab...sooo I guess we'll need another farm video :P

Hey Empy can this be done with low tier maps? I've always run essences in white maps because the monster level doesn't affect what essences spawn. Is there any reason this strat has to be done in red maps?

is this atlas strat still work on low tier map???

How you sell such a huge amount of items? Its deffinitelly wont fit in one full inventory trade

Is it better profit to corrupt essences or not?

Ive been doing essences for a couple days and they ALWAYS sell instantly at 100% price, no matter how big bulk is, if u have enough dmg this strat is chill af, not lots of clicking, 0 time soent on trade afterwards, you just buy scarabs and go.

Which is better: 2 Adversary Scarabs 1x Calcification 1x Stability 1x Adversary 1x Calcification 1x Stability 1x Ascent ?

Ran this with the necropolis node that increases chances of pack leaders to be rare. i think thats also a big increase towards the number of essences?

I really wish you could use your V keybind to corrupt essences

Loving this series. Necropolis is fucking amazing as a casual dad gamer. Gold star at the Terraria music too.

07:14 that was a map boss with no essences in it.

Crystal prison memories are 50c each (10c per map, since this memory gives 5 maps instead of 4 in its full trail), and they essentially enable all of the old league mechanic notables. Has been really fun to still get to corrupt huge stacks of imprisoned rogue exiles with 6-8+ shrieking+deafening essences. Highly recommend for anyone reading who's disappointed that it got nerfed.

Last vid 3m This vid 25m This is gonna be good

What build is this???

One thing to note here empy. You can also Convert all your bad essence into good essence using blue juice. youll usually double your value and make like an extra 15% or so. when i flipped about 60 div of essence i sold them for about 120 with an extra 18 div profit took about 45 min to do it. makes them much easier to sell yourself.

So if we exclude Alva from our atlas, considering new patch notes, what could possibly be a decent replacement?

I would say Einhar is still worth it, during my farming run of about 30 maps i noticed that a vast majority of beasts were still calcified

I tried selling my essences at 100% on tft and it was insta sell as well

i wonder if it's worth doing a low level version of this without calcification

2:37 Does anyone know what is meant by rerolling seven and a half times to get the extra rare monster mod? I tried it a few times and it never worked, what am I missing?

U Gonna try Garbinger strategy sometime?

If you wanna spend a little time to harvest reroll some cheap to expensive ones you would get even more value out of your essences.

Dude I’m so happy your doing these videos, this league needs this kind of testing

the boss node strat never only has screamings in it

7:13 ah yes. the essence mob of drop deletion. hate that mod.

I remember farming essences with summon skeletons. The easiest time of my life

Hey Empy, Ive been running containment scarabs with manifested wealth. 3d scarab but getting upwards of 500-600c per map running this, not even counting Exalts, scarabs, maps or rare drops. You should try it out.

I been trading essences as main currency strat for years. Nobody goes to the WTS essences tab to buy essences (or at least super rare to get messaged). The most realistic pricing is the WTB entire stash tab tab and u contact them to sell them or u wait far too long.

new essence scarab came in todays patch

the interesting fact - you can transform all rare monsters in june reaserch into the essence mosnters and they will be locked,so you can fast farm them without breaking the research.

u know why i dont sell essences one by one? because of the stack size of 9 :o too much calculating..

Did you try chiseling the essences for more quantity of essences? Throw a chaos orb on them if the essences are bad?

The implication that I would turn down Cassia voice and ever miss out on her spitting fire in maps is borderline heretical

Kinda annoying that ggg still haven't fixed the bug where monster drops no essences at all. I encountered this bug in the current and last league..

I just do tier 7 maps with multiple bosses in it to get more essences with crystal resonance

I was wondering why there were so many more essence bulk sellers today

The Boss Essence strat prefers the Deafening on the boss at the end. If you have enough essences in the map all of your essences from the boss will be deafening.

9:57 agreed....90% of my death are because "on death" effects----the other 10% because im an idiot :D

empyrian is the only guys who find an empower every 50 maps challenge , 3 times in a row =)

Would this work on low tier maps?

7:13 this bug made me stop farming essences early league lmao

I dont think it would be sane to ask this of you, but as the price of divine in chaos falls, I think chaos recipe is becoming extremely lucrative. it has three big requirements though. You need two quad tabs and the chaos recipe enhancer plug in. The initial filling of the first quad tab with armor is a slog, but after that you can just blast maps and only pick up jewelry. For atlas passives, I think you put the niko zoom nodes + rogue exiles. You just run through the maps as fast as you can picking up only jewelry and currency. A quad stash of jewellery i think is like 115 chaos sets, or roughly 2 divs and you can fill it REAL fast. the initial filling of quad stash with armors is slow, and the selling is tedious but i really think this could compete purely in div per hour compared to other strategies. it could be further enhanced with altars, back to basics, shrines, beasts, whatever you want. Im going to try a back to basics + chaos recipe tree tonight and see how fast I can blast through 20 white maps. unlike all the other strategies though, this one is only lucrative while the price of chaos is strong.

was thisnerfed? or does it even work today?

Why do u allways have 5 2-hands and 4 belts in the tab? 😀

Just do this strat on t6 strand. It's incredibly easy and chill for any build.

Just run it on volcano map. the boss is a totem.

10:48 Ah there you are! Ready to revisit the past? The more you kill, the more you change my map...

The infamous rejular expressions.

That dialogue tip was great. I have been so annoyed by npc lines this league. Thanks for that

its more like 3d a map to do the boss strat in t6s and 5-10d a map in t17s. much better if u have a good cahr

If next league isn’t a crafting based league this strat will be lit af

I'd love to see essence memories as well, 10 memories or 50 maps i believe

It seems to me that ~15div/hr is the intended profit strategy GGG wants to control for. Clearly, there are a few outliers that are mostly associated with T17.

Essence is giga rippy honestly , i would rate it even above expedition if you exclude dmg immunity on them.

On console it’s about 0.7 div investment per map for this strat. Prices are so messed up on console.

Essence are bug from day 1, we see a lot of scarab and farm nerfs e no fix on that, same with some chalenges....

If u keep shrieking essences for the most part u will make significantly more profit for anybody wanting to do this

i think u're underestimating the boss essence node, it almost doubles your profit per map plus u can use another 8 rare scarab for 8 extra essences per map, u can just run t6 prominade for good layout and boss at the end or run volcano cause boss doesnt hit you so its free, plus t6 are way easier to do.

Running maps with the Crystal Res. node, that have 3 bosses (Crystal Ore, Courtyard) and rolling the mod "Area contains two Unique Bosses", so its doubling bosses (6 bosses). The whole screen is in Essences =) The biggest juice is when you have 2 mods "more Rare monsters and two Bosses"

That's HH per 5 maps. Not bad.

I got mirror out of cursed treasure. First mirror after 10k hours. Coinsidance? I think not!

Really unfortunate that they released a new, more powerful Essence scarab today.

Thanks, great series 🔥

10:40 what if I want to hear them again? Ju-Ju-Just in time... (ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง

10:36 if i dont hear "do you have nets exiles" and get slammed by a red beast the next 3 secs, its not a good league for me.

It started so good but rn the essence prices have crashed and almost feels like a waste of time to farm them

spoiler: it would be good if grave crafting wasnt THAT good----lets watch the video! :) edit: imagine the divine u get without grave crafting :D

Essences appearing in incursions was a bug? I guess it's a good thing I swapped away from this strat when I did then.

Incoming Heist strat based or cringe?
