I haven't skipped a season in years. I skipped 3.24 and spent today going "WTF is going on?". Glad I found your video. I had no idea they changed essences last league lol. Thanks man!
@@jerome6897 Running to the destination will ALWAYS show where the essences are very easily on the map. you can see them from both sides of the track so to speak. I thought about how goated this was when I ran it then I saw this message lmao.
@@jerome6897 there are also 3 bosses so supposedly if you take crystal resonance the essences will split between these 3 bosses according to this video
last league i farmed tons of essences on tower map before realising i was losing at least half my essences on the boss lol, glad your spreading awareness
>>> In normal maps, I got around 20 monsters trapped in essences. In a rolled rare map, I got around 30 ~ 35 monsters.>> #% increased number os Rare Monsters
I usually have fun running essences every league. It's a very chill strat and makes lot of divs,expecially at this point of the league where most of the big players are crafting. Always buy 100 scarab of each and sell in bulk on tft after the whole farm. Usually farm all maps in 5 hours with a net profit of 80/90 divs depending on the rngesus. Also prefere to run t16 strand. Very linear,2 bosses so the mods on the boss split and make them less dangerous and u also get to drop some divs or valdos that are always welcome. Today's total farm is 87 divs of essences,7 raw divs and 5 valdos that are worth 1.5 each
Made a decent amount to invest in my build, just wanted to say thanks. Recently, calcification scarabs have been getting pricey so i'm not running them anymore. Just doing the triple essence scarab and ascent.
hey! nice tips from the video, but i would like to know something: Do you upgrade essences in your stash tab? or should you sell the essences as they drop?
@@PathofEvening Just got my ass kicked in same map you used with the scarab of ascent and 2 regular essence scarabs. Barely killed the boss. Will try to get my chaos res higher now and try again
(cont): Also do we have to select the essence option in the map device? I didn't get to that since I only had one try because I used the scarabs I had. The scarab of ascent is a bit expensive
Dude, awesome video. Just a quick tip: I think more people would subscribe if you would say that at the end of the video, since then people are invested and probably think it was a good one (since they watched the whole thing). At the beggining of the video, I have no idea if I am gonna like it or not.
Wait what? I’m four leagues in and use these to find the best strategies to maximize efficiency. I don’t follow what you mean. You’re not going to try and tell me most Poe players sit down with the atlas and scarab tab and calculate what scarabs are best with which passives, surely? Because everyone borrows from everyone.
cheeeers~~~ gotta admit i wish i new to do stuff early or had my build get stronger, but i finally ivnest into essences with my own lil take on it and it worked out preaty well but the slow sell on trade site is brutal, the price gougue on bulk selling and 3rd party stuff sucks, and the trade exchange is soooooooooo rough with crazy ratios and bulking and such but its wild. deffinitly hleped me make the last dozen or 2 div i needed but i FINALLY got my HH! and now i can zooooooooooooooooooom and either invest into a super lightning strike meta build and have so much fun with warden ORRRR ivenst MORE into my bower nad see
Hello, i follow your channel since 3.25 and its very very good! Thank you for the good content keep up. Its very good structured, time stamps, clear voice, good beginner and medium explanations. I like it a lot. Do you stream on twitch? i would love to sub there with my prime to somewhat support your channel :). My build is very strong right now so i tried to juice out essence as much as possible. My plan was to essence+beast+rogue exiles with calcification to turn all those rares into essence. Scarab of adversaries give 4 rares, beastiary scarab of the herd give 5, both limit to 2, so i decided to go beastiary to get +1 rare. ofc combined with ascent scarab in the end. My conclusion. Sadly it does not work. 1. rogue exiles are not imprisoned so its out. 2. Beasts gets imprisoned but they wont benfit from the ascent scarab which makes it very bad, additionaly it takes way to much time to kill them because einhar needs to channel his capture animation, and then no deafening on top of it. I wonder if the essence scarab of adaptation would solve the problem of Beast not getting ascent scarab benefit. Imagine normal essence give their deafning to the beasts which have non would add up. And there is a map mod which increases the number of rare monsters, so we could roll for this. Do you got any theory or real endgame setup to juice even more? Einhar Memories seem bad too because deafening are rare since atlas tree is not applying. And on tft bulk sell most want only deafening. edit: i tried out essence of adaptation with beasts. Even more terrbile, additionaly i noticed beasts are not only wont get the ascent scarab applied they also do not apply the their essence to the boss. My End conclusion would be: Going Atlas with essence + shrine&niko to boost speed (maybe add in heist but only for huk and use a haste aura for example - low tier contracts are worth nothing later in the league). For Scarabs: use Ascent, Calcification, 2 Adversaries (caped to 2) and 1 normal essence scarab. Last season one could add in beasts to fish for the red beasts which are worth some currency but since Calcification would transform them to imprisoned monsters which got mainly low essences on them and take a lot of time to kill (capture animation + no cull) + we wont to white maps anymore beacuse of changes so beast pool increased. I think its not worth anymore, better focus on only essence and blast the maps fast.
This is a lot of good information. We do not stream on Twitch, but we do have several RU-vid Membership tiers available on this channel. Thank you for considering supporting us.
Hey great video it has helped me a lot in getting started with currency. I have one question, i started running calcification scarab now and noticed that some monsters do not have a deafening essence on them, would you know if its a bug or im doing something wrong?
@@PathofEvening yes all of them were t6 promenades and consistently many monsters were not having deafening essences or having bunch of weeping, so ascent scarab wasnt applying to them, and considering how expensive calcification scarabs are idk how worth it is doing. I did around 20 maps with calcification (small sample i know) and didnt make that much profit
I tested the scarab of calcification strat you mentioned with a few maps and seemed to break even. The price of the calcification scarab might be too high rn. All the essence-imprisoned monsters that the adversary + calcification added usually only had 1-2 essences on them so it didn't seem to stack up too too much. However the boss at the end dropped way more essences. However I think the added essences from the boss only really made up the cost for the scarabs to pay into the strat. A basic strategy still works great though! Also, I was wondering why you don't take the small remnant of corruption passives on the wheel. Do the added remnans have a chance to take away or overwrite what would otherwise be an essence? Otherwise it seems like it only adds something you can sell. Great guide!
Hey man! As a returning player after 8 years, I just wanted to drop in and say thank you. A lot of the things going on are still over my head (I just learned I’ve been skipping over labs and wondering when it would come lmao). So thank you for all the knowledge that comes in a digestible format 🫡
Low-level contracts and blueprints really don't sell, and selling them one-by-one is pretty annoying. Running them yourself is not bad, but otherwise you can do Essence/Bestiary instead.
man im following your Boneshatter juggernaut but im always dying on bosses and essence mobs even on t6 maps. i have 65k armour and resistance is 81 80 80 10 and i have a gear what should i do now
Getting a Phys Taken as Ele implicit on your chest is huge. Getting Vaal Molten Shell and hooking it up to CWDT so it will proc the regular version, and you can still use the Vaal version as an extra defensive CD for more on-demand tankiness. Recoup is a really underrated stat to look for on rings and jewels, too.
@@robertjag167 should work but best scarab farming usually with influence so if you can do essences in high tiers then it can work. Thats what I do but single target is important
Thanks man, I was farming expedition but the result I don't like anymore due to the nerfs, I'll do your strategy and come back to give the verdict. This strategy works in map t7 ?
@@PathofEvening I’ve been able to grab the scarabs for as low as 55 at times and it’s still giving me back a good return actually! Went from 3 div to 30 div in no time!
It really changes the strategy around. You can do it in a few ways, but if you drop Crystal Resonance and try to fish for corrupted essences, it can really sing-but it struggles without that good RNG, so it can be a bit feast-and-famine.
It caps at 2, so unfortunately no. Essence Scarabs of Adaptation are an option if you're able to handle how juicy they get! Otherwise just a regular Essence Scarab will work.
@@PathofEvening okay, I've already done a bunch of them with 3 but this is good to know, I'll try an adaptation on a map without the calcification just to see if I can handle it
