This Low-Investment POE 3.24 Atlas Strategy Is A Crazy Map Farmer! (2024)

Here, I’ll show you my latest atlas strategy, which doesn’t cost much to get started, but the rewards are high! When tested, this strategy provides even more Tier 17 and Guardian Maps than you can fit in one map’s inventory. Let’s jump right in!

Atlas Strategy

In short, you’ll be using Horned Scarab of Pandemonium, which will change a few packs of monster to map bosses that bosses have the mod. This boss will be considered the final map boss, so it has a chance to drop Guardian, Conqueror and Synthesis Maps, and may also drop Tier 17 Maps.

Also, we’ve added Domination Scarab of Terrors, which will also give each Shrine a map boss. They also get the final map boss modifier, so they also have a chance to drop Guardian, Conqueror, Synthesis and Tier 17 Maps.

Finally, we added 2 Cartography Scarabs of Duplication for maps. So we will have a 60% chance of doubling map drops.

Atlas Tree Explained

For Atlas Tree, I will highlight the important nodes and why I use it.

As I said, I’m using a Domination Scarab of Terrors. So on Atlas tree, we’re going to take all the good shrine nodes. Our map now contains many shrines, and all shrines will contain an additional boss. You’ll have more chances to grab Sirus Guardian Maps.

We also used Shaper and Elder Guardians Maps drop chance nodes as well as Synthesis Maps drop chance nodes.

Now we have a good chance of getting special maps when making maps. But we didn’t stop there. Because we killed many map bosses on one map. We will be using Scarab node, which gives map bosses a 25% chance of dropping a Scarab. It also increases the chance of a rare drop when we get a Scarab drop.

On the other side of the tree, we’ve also increased the chance of getting Scarab from unique monsters. All bosses are unique, so they have a good chance of dropping Scarab and more.

We also use Niko nodes. The reason for this is that when you click on Sulphite node, it gives you damage, maximum resistance, and movement speed. So you’ll clean faster and better. This comes in handy, especially when you’re facing many map bosses in a small area.

Additionally, we have chosen a node where when you click on Sulphite Vein, you will have a 10% chance of receiving enough Azurite that you can spend at the mine camp to purchase Chaotic Resonator. This will give you a small amount of additional POE Currency profit.

I also incorporated all the extra map chance nodes, which give a monster on the map a chance to drop a connected map. So if we’re lucky, we’ll increase our chances of getting a T17 map or two.

Very importantly, we will take all higher map tier chance nodes, as well as Shaping the Skies and Mountains nodes. The reason for this is that even if your Atlas only contains T16 maps, you will also get T14 and T15 maps.

With this node, you will upgrade the map and get another T16 map, and then the opportunity to upgrade it to a Tier 17 map through Watchstones.

The last and most important part of Atlas tree is Maven Keystone, Destructive Play. You invite Maven to appear on your map so that when you reach the final map boss, she will summon more map bosses.

Now we have Atlas tree. Next, you will need to use Domination craft on the map device for each map. You’ll get more shrines and bosses, and more opportunities to get good maps. This will cost you some Chaos Orbs, but you’ll get your investment back no matter what.

Which Maps Are Worth Running?

Next, you need to know which maps you should run. If you have many Conqueror maps, then you can rotate them. Of course, you can also send out invitations and fight Maven when you have time. It’s really up to you.

Keep in mind that any Guardian maps will work, but running Conqueror maps is the fastest because they don’t have phases like other maps.

I can maintain Guardian maps and do not need to purchase one. But if you’re just starting this strategy, you can just pick 10 maps that you like to run on.

Regarding map tiers, this only works with Guardian maps. I recommend you run T16 maps because, as you can see, sometimes Guardian maps will drop as T14 or T15 maps. You can use Harbinger’s Orb to upgrade your Tier 15 maps to Tier 16. It’s also valuable currency, so don’t worry, you won’t lose anything.

Don’t forget you can use Orb of Horizons on bad layout maps. Most of the time I run Thicket Map or any better layout maps. So please don’t use Forking River or Cells on your Guardian maps. But if you like this map, then you can just go as it.

Map Running Costs

Now let’s look at the cost of entry to get this started. You will need 1 Domination Scarab of Terrors, which costs the equivalent of 18 Chaos Orbs. Horned Scarab of Pandemonium is worth 22 Chaos, and you will use one of these.

The other two are Cartography Scarabs of Duplication, each requiring 5 chaos. Besides, you will need 3 Chaos Orbs for your Domination craft. Therefore, each map requires a total of 53 Chaos as your investment.

Profit

Finally, let’s see how many maps I’ve gotten so far with this strategy.

For Tier 17 Maps, I have 37 of them, with a minimum selling price of 70 Chaos each.

The next one is Synthesis Unique Maps, I have 41 of them so far, and they all cost around 15 Chaos. But honestly, this map is very simple. You just have to run it and witness with Maven, and you have a good chance of getting a drop like this.

The biggest profits come from Guardian Maps. I have 225 so far, all of which I can sell for 15 Chaos or more each. You can sell this map easily as they are all key to Shaper, Elder, Sirus battles, so selling this map is not difficult.

In the end, you’ll easily get plenty of Scarabs, and even some of the rarer ones. So I think we can say that this strategy is very profitable.

My total value of these tags, if I sold everything, is 82 Divine Orbs. But I’m still underestimating some maps, since we can sell them in bulk, so this could be more.

Outro

All in all, this strategy is so interesting to me. I really like having bosses everywhere that will put our powerful builds to use and make a pretty decent profit along the way. So, hurry up and give it a try.
