Strongboxes Are Insane! 

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

which item filter did you use to run this maps?

Was not expecting a random squidbillies reference

Probably one of the funnest strats I've tried this league. Very addicting fishing for big 2x drops and seeing how many times you can reopen some

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.

Good thing about it also is it's hard to drop the value of items you're farming if a lot do it as they're all liquid currency or cards tied to currency

So I’ve been specifically looking for maps with the new corrupted implicit “unique monsters drop corrupted items”. Then just filling the map with rogues and strong boxes , I sold a pair of dual curse snakebites for 24 div which was , idk if that’s cheap or not but it sold in a day and I have a +1 to socketed gems incandescent heart so I only had a few maps laying around with that Vaal implicit in them but I think it’s worth doing a bit more of a deep dive on as I did also get a really junk rare +1 power charge corrupted helmet which maybe on league start would have sold but ya lol probably not this late in a league 😅

Why the less haunted mods versus more haunted effect path for the bottom left circle?

I've run this about 20 times and, unlike your essence strat, I'm getting tons of orbs of regret but not hitting the consistent currency drops I was hoping for. Gonna have to watch this in detail again because I had high hopes when I switched to this. I do love the essence farm though.

DDDUUUDDDEEEEE your a life saver!!! just started doing this setup and made more currency in my first map than I have all season. dropped 2 valdos puzzle boxes. this is only my 2nd league and really been struggling with currency. only had 800 chaos up till now. Cheers for this it has made my Day!!

Squidbillies refrence on point

What would you recommend for non-mf farming strat? I'm currently running t6 essence farming for 15-20d/h. Newbie and been doing it for a while now. It gets boring for me lol.

Thoughts on doing strongboxes but in T17's? Worth doing?

what loot filter do you use? can u share?

Nice vídeo, gonna try it😊

If you were going for div cards wouldn't a div scarab be better than one of the ambush ones?

I may be missing something but aren't you forgetting to include the allflames you're using in your map cost? That seems pretty significant and would change your ROI quite a bit.

This is insane. The amount of exalts, Cs and div cards I got is disgusting. And the fact that I don't have to use my squishy MF gear is a giant plus. Also it's cheap. Thank you for this. It's fun. Much appreciated.

Do u have a pob your build seems cool

Cartographer Strongbox is good coz the Tier 16 they drop has a chance to be converted to Tier 17 so IF the conversion happens, you get TWO tier 17 maps

Hey do you mind sharing map mods ? The ones we cannot run ? Thanks !

Sorry but i am not sure and maybe i missed it but could You link Your loot filter?

where do I unlock ambush mod?

Saying you loot over 100c from the rogue exile Allflame immediately after saying you get about 10cx60exiles is like me responding to the cop that pulled me over for speeding asking if I knew how fast I was going by saying “at least 10MPH officer.”

can i run this on crimson temple?

What i like about Ambush is that the Arcanist Strongboxes can drop Valdos aswell as Hinekoras Locks. Catapults the Div/h up when that happens, very satisfying

it is crazy how much you ppl make, I think its safe for me to divide all the profits by 10/15 :D

I`ve ran close to 50 maps of the expensive ambush strat and man I`ve been getting unlucky even was running t17s for a little and still was getting nothing good at all, think I barely broke even..

what build is that?

Keen to see a T17 version! Just built the forbinned rite character to do T17's, but still looking for a good T17 strat

What about scarabs of containment?

ive done about 200 lockbox maps and they are not reliable at all. you need to get big ticket items. but it is a good farm for alts and lower tier curency. if you like low invest gamba then go for it. i got the i see brother card and seven years of bad luck. about 59 maps inbetween those drops.

I just love how this strat synergizes with the lantern. I got 122 div in a map doing this thanks to cuz of lantern chance to convert to div + eater chance to duplicate currency Only thing I’d mention is sometimes on reopening boxes it seems like there are more and more mobs. So i wonder if that changes the math between 3rd ambush scarab and reopen chance scarab

pob of that build? thanks

Raw divines? Where are all of mine?

Scarabs need their own chapter. And please hover over the scarabs for at least 1 second.

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.

What skill?

not sure if wealthy exile tab is good indicator of actual money you made/hr, have to include how long it took to sell, as well as how much you actually managed to sell from that loot

bs been doing this for week T16 maps drop is shit its mostly end up being not profitable
