Path Of Exile 3.24: This Harbinger Farming Method In SSF Requires Only Low Investment!
In Path of Exile 3.24, Harbinger in SSF proves useful for several reasons, particularly for farming currency. It adds numerous monsters to the maps, and acquiring scarabs is relatively straightforward. This strategy is not overly complex to execute, and the investment required is minimal and can effectively complement other strategies.
Strategy Overview
The idea of this strategy is incredibly straightforward: we aim to maximize the number of Harbingers in the map, buff them as much as possible. Despite its simplicity, it's a fun strategy. Harbingers can also spawn as a map modifier, resulting in some completely ludicrous maps filled with blue Harbingers.
They drop many hard-to-get currency orbs like Exalted Orbs, Orb of Annulment, Ancient Orbs, and even Fracturing Orbs, which are incredibly rare. You can use all the Ancient Orbs on unique belts in SSF. On average, you can take 3 to 4 Ancient Orbs per map, plus an Orb of Annulment and maybe an Exalted Orb.
To give you an idea of the loot that is in Tier 16 maps, with perhaps on average 80% map quantity, but that map quantity doesn't actually affect the results. You would maybe think that Harbingers drop the Beachhead map or the Landing Divination Card, which can be traded for the Beachhead.
Harbinger Scarabs
For scarabs, I'm typically using 2 regular Harbinger Scarabs for 6 additional Harbingers, then one Harbinger Scarab of Discernment to increase their currency to be rare and drop one type. This means you either get a ton of the currency that you want or you don't get anything at all. But it saves you a lot of clicking.
The fourth scarab is the Harbinger Scarab of Regency, giving us a 50% chance for a Harbinger boss. The total chance of this is now 75% thanks to the passive tree. Sometimes, you will have enough of the Harbinger Scarab of Warhoards, which doubles the currency that you're getting, which is obviously amazing.
Atlas Tree Setup
Let's talk about the atlas passive tree. First, we definitely choose the Harbinger nodes. First Wave gives a 25% chance for a more powerful Harbinger. Unspeakable Offensive makes them spawn their monsters much faster and speeds up the mechanic. Then you can take Rogues, as they drop tons of loot, and combined with the increased item quantity from Unrelenting Torment.
I’m skipping shrines entirely on this strategy. The Harbinger isn’t all that difficult. It’s a lot easier than Essence monsters or Rogues, so we can do without the shrines and spend those points elsewhere. I recommend running the Searing Exarch influence as it provides a steady stream of currency and scarabs, which is useful in SSF.
Running the league nodes for more corpses, more Allflame, and more buffs and debuffs on the monster packs. These synergize once more because the extra quantity and rarity modifiers are amazing in your maps. But also, we're playing the Necropolis League, and that means you should engage with the league mechanic.
To sustain, scarabs are crucial, so you can prioritize acquiring most scarab nodes on the Atlas tree. However, opt out of certain nodes that enhance map modifier effects. While these nodes don't boost map rewards, they make maps overly challenging and less enjoyable, which is unnecessary.
Final Thought
I found a few pros of this strategy. The scarabs are fairly easy to find, and it works with a lot of combinations of Harbinger scarabs, so you can run this with whatever you want. You’re not really bound to one specific scarab. You can mix and match, and everything will basically just work. The loot is very consistent, and it’s also loot that you otherwise cannot get, like Fracturing Orbs.
However, there are also some cons too. The first is that the maps take quite a long time to complete with the Harbinger. You still have to wait quite a while before all the monsters show up. The second con is that the mechanics don't really interact with many other strategies, as the monsters despawn on death, and seemingly they're not affected at all by the Allflames. And the Harbinger currency isn't affected by item quantity or item rarity, so you have very few ways to juice the rewards.

Path Of Exile 3.25: How To ...
With the official announcement from the game developers, POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League will be officially released on July 26, and players have also ushered in their long-awaited melee enhancements and Gladiator remakes. So now that the release time is getting closer, have you chosen which league starter to choose in Settlers of Kalguur League? As we all know, a strong league starter can develop your early league economy more efficient and easily obtain your POE Currency and gear in the build. This guide will introduce some suitable builds for POE 3.25, most of which focus on melee. Each of them is very stable and has been enhanced to a certain extent at this stage, which can make your exploration in Settlers of Kalguur League easier. Boneshatter Juggernaut Boneshatter Juggernaut has received certain enhancements in both the basic version and the complex trauma version. Some players may still worry about whether Juggernaut class’s previous Unbreakable Ascendancy will change in this POE 3.25. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. Endurance charges now reduce the elemental damage provided, instead of just changing elemental resistances and physical damage as before. You will find that the new configuration may be more powerful now, and the role of the new Unbreakable Ascendancy node is the same as before, without any changes. If you put divine flesh into this build, Boneshatter Juggernaut will become even more powerful. In addition, Quality multiplicative changes will also have a very big impact on this build, especially to increase damage and enhancing offense. I think this should offset the nerf in Determination Aura. Gear Weapon: Brood Etcher Despot Axe Helmet: Glyph Star Ezomyte Burgonet Armor: Forth Vow Devout Chainmail Rings: Eagle Finger Amethyst Ring, Carrion Hold Amethyst Ring Amulet: Eternal Struggle Onyx Amulet Gloves: Tanu Ahi Wyrmsclae Gauntlets Belt: Magnate Studded Belt Boots: Brood Sole Goliath Greaves Frostblades Trickster In Path Of Exile 3.25, the second best league starter build is Frostblades Trickster because of its high speed, high evasion, and higher damage. Many players worry that it is an early build that will only be dominant in the early stages and weaker in the later stages. This worry is unnecessary and absolutely not a problem. And in POE 3.25, Frostblades Trickster has not been affected at all. In this build, Frostblade skill gem not only increases its own damage by 265 but also enhances its own basic freezing effect. This makes Frostblades Trickster even more powerful. In this version and stage, Frostblades Trickster has undergone many nerfs, but it is still strong and has the potential to become an absolute beast in this league. This is also a Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur melee build that you should try. Gear Weapon: Essence Only Claw Offhand: Day 1 Shield Helmet: Heatshiver Armor: Day 1 Chest Rings: Maming, Day 1 Amulet: New Item Gloves: Day 1 Gloves Belt: Day 1 Belt Boots: Day 1 Boots Shield Crush Juggernaut Shield Crush Juggernaut has been around for a few leagues, and in POE 3.19 it was a very slow league start build, but now in POE 3.25 it’s become very powerful. The way this build works is that you stack your armor with your shield soldiers to protect yourself. In addition to Energy shield, it also adds fixed damage per 75 armor, and also increases your crit based on Energy shields' stats. This means that this is a very powerful crit stacking build. According to the patch notes, the two skills in this build come with two buffs themselves. One of them has a fixed base damage DPS buff, and the other has a high-end DPS buff that scales with armor, which makes Shield Crush Juggernaut one of the most powerful builds in Path of Exile 3.25. In addition, this build is one of the few builds in the game that can scale to extreme armor levels through shield quality, and its multiplicative changes will greatly increase the DPS of this build. Gear Weapon: Dream Feather Replica Offhand: Emperor’s Vigilance Helmet: Enemy Horn Armor: Fourth Oath Rings: Cataclysm Knot, Storm Ring Amulet: Adur’s Uprising Gloves: Tanu Ahi Belt: Perseverance Boots: Cataclysm Slippers Perforate Slayer Although Perforate Slayer does not have a complete end-game configuration, players believe that it has the potential to become the best POE 3.25 league starter. In Perforate Slayer, the damage of the perforate skill gem is increased from 265% to 622%, which will make your battles easier. But it also has certain risks. If you are not an experienced player, it is not recommended for you to use this build. Because it is very likely that when you use this build to kill people, your own health may not be very healthy. Gear Weapon: Death Roar Offhand: Crown of Sorrow Helmet: Enemy Horn Armor: Death Jack Rings: Mind’s Eye, Dusk Eye Amulet: Doom Amulet Gloves: Death Knuckles Belt: Chaos Trap Boots: Vortex Slippers That’s it for the best builds you can try out in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. Let’s get started on July 26!Jul-22-2024

Path Of Exile 3.25: How To ...
Path of Exile 3.25 introduces Settlers of Kalguur league, bringing a novel mechanic that encourages players to explore the map to collect key resources that are essential to growing your settlement. In addition, with adjustments to various Ascendancy classes, certain starting characters will experience a smoother start after this update. We have selected the best starting character builds in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur for you. In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league, character builds that can quickly complete the map to collect new resources tend to be more popular. Although many of the selected builds perform well in a Softcore Trade environment. But in most cases, if you pay more attention to the character’s survivability and tankiness, the performance in Hardcore mode will be similar. Here are some of the best Starter builds for Path of Exile 3.25 League: Archmage Frostbolt Ice Nova Hierophant Lightning Strike Slayer Elemental Hit of the Spectrum Warden Bleed Ground Slam Zoomancer Necromancer In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League, players need to focus on powerful starting character builds while managing resources, including in-game POE Currency. In addition, if you are looking for more game resources, there is a Giveaway feature in iGMeet discord, which will occasionally release product gift information. Remember to stay active in the discord group. 1. Archmage Frostbolt Ice Nova Hierophant With the update of Settlers of Kalguur League, many builds have experienced slight enhancements or nerfs because of these adjustments. In particular, Archmage Frostbolt Ice Nova Hierophant has received significant defensive buffs, making this already very strong new character build one of the top choices in POE 3.25. The core gameplay of this build is to fire frostbolts that quickly spread into a massive Ice Nova AoE effect, which eventually returns to the player and causes continuous frost AoE damage. It is one of the best map clearing builds, and is therefore considered one of the excellent starting character choices in Path of Exile 3.25. 2. Lightning Strike Slayer With the launch of Path of Exile 3.25, the already very strong Slayer Ascendancy build may become even stronger, thanks to significant buffs to its survivability. One potential advantage of this build in the new league is Strength of Blood passive skill, which significantly increases physical damage mitigation for Slayer. In terms of gameplay, Lightning Strike Slayer focuses on using melee attacks to release lightning, which will hit targets and chain and bounce around the map. Despite being a melee build, Lightning Strike has surprisingly long range and moves quickly. 3. Elemental Hit Of The Spectrum Warden While new Ascendant class, Warden, is less well known due to replacing Raider, we can still draw some initial conclusions based on what we’ve seen so far. Warden’s reliance on the use of tinctures and enhanced survivability through bark makes it a natural fit for Elemental Strike League entry build. This build moves quickly around the map, firing bouncing arrows around the map in a fast and precise manner. This allows you to not only clear the map efficiently, but also focus on defeating bosses with the high attack speed and damage output of your targeted arrows. 4. Bleed Ground Slam Chieftain This league has shown a heavy preference for melee mechanics, making Bleed Ground Slam Chieftain a strong entry choice into PoE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League. Bleed builds have traditionally been high risk with potentially high reward, but with all the updates and adjustments, it promises to be one of the strongest choices yet. With this build, you’ll be able to slam the ground, unleashing a cone of destructive force while applying a powerful bleed effect to all enemies hit. Once you have the right build for Bleed Ground Slam, the cone will cover a massive radius, stretching almost to the edge of your screen and covering nearly 180 degrees in the direction you slam. 5. Zoomancer Necromancer Summoner builds continue to hold their place in the list of starting builds for League, and this season is no exception. Zoomancer Necromancer build, however, brings an entire kitchen sink of minions to do its building. The gameplay of Zoomancer Necromancer allows you to command over 70 minions at once, and as the name suggests, can quickly cover enemies with your zoo. As you progress in this build, you’ll eventually be able to tackle the most difficult content in PoE 3.25 with just your summons, without having to intervene in combat yourself. With a carefully selected starting character build, players can better adapt to the changes in League and further expand their adventures in PoE 3.25.Jul-29-2024

Path Of Exile 3.24: Beast F ...
Greeting Exiles! This guide will show you a low investment beast farming strategy on the White Maps in the Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis League. Our focus will be on farming a specific beast known as Craicic Chimeral, valued at approximately 1.5 divines currently. After completing 10 or 25 maps, we can gather up the Craicic Chimerals and sell them off. Pros & Cons Beast farming is a strategy I have adopted recently, and it has been working to the advantage. The introduction of new Scarabs, such as the Bestiary Scarab of the Herd, marks a significant change. This scarab offers 5 additional beasts, effectively doubling the amount of Red Beasts encountered per map compared to the previous Gilded Scarab. Moreover, there's a new scarab called the Bestiary Scarab of the Shadowed Crow, which guarantees a beast spawn in every map. Although slightly more expensive, it provides double the currency every time it sells, ensuring stable profitability per map. These changes have not only made beast farming more accessible, but also increased its profitability and efficiency. The first notable drawback of this farming strategy is its heavy reliance on the Craicic Chimeral for significant profits. These valuable drops occur randomly, often from 1 in 10 maps, or even 1 in 20 maps. While each Craicic Chimeral sells for 1.5 Divines, it can be frustrating if you go a long time without encountering one. Additionally, sticking to Tier 1 through Tier 4 maps limits our flexibility by limiting our ability to take advantage of certain features such as Atlas bonuses, influence, boss drops, essences, or higher level maps. To maximize beast encounters and income, it's crucial to run maps efficiently. Therefore, focusing on maps like Strand and Fields, which offer quick clear times, is recommended for this strategy. Bestiary Scarabs Next, I will explain what Scarabs to get with low budget. In each map, we’re going to use 2 Bestiary Scarab of the Herd to add 10 more Red Beasts in our maps and 1 Bestiary Scarab of Duplicating to make an additional copy of the beast that we are capturing. If you have the fifth slot, you can buy the Bestiary Scarab of the Shadowed Crow as well, which we can use it for crafts or making 6-links items to sell for POE Currency. The Craicic Chimeral beasts are small frogs, which you will encounter like every 7 to 10 maps. Just search for them and capture those and go out of the map. If you find one, you can also invite other people to come and join your party so that they can get 3 divines for free. Just need the Tier 3 maps and the Cobalt Jewel to collect and sell them in bulk. Altas Tree Setup Let's take a look at the Atlas tree with 86 passive nodes. Pairing this with 1 Shaping the Mountains and 1 Shaping the World is effective. We avoid excessive Shaping nodes on higher maps to prevent an imbalance of Tier 4 over Tier 3. While Strand is superior to Fields, Fields being the second best map and Adjacent allows us to alternate between them, utilizing Singular Focus to potentially obtain Chaos Orbs intermittently. We exclusively opt for the Hunt for Craiceann, which increases the chance for the Craicic Chimeral, resulting in more Craicic Chimerals overall. This choice is based on how the game determines which beast to spawn. We then pick the Two-Hearted Hunt, as it provides a 10 to 40% chance to avoid consumption, which is a valuable addition to our strategy. Then, pick up the Shrines. They serve 2 purposes. Firstly, they can spawn enemies, which can drop maps. Secondly, they can grant us an Echoing Shrine, a movement speed Shrine, or a Covetous Shrine. A Covetous Shrine means potentially more maps, while movement speed and Echoing Shrine lead to faster clears and mapping times. Overall, Shrines are the most helpful among all the league mechanics without consuming extra time. Farming Tips Let me give you some more tips. The Craicic Chimeral is the only beast, and it's from The Deep family. About what map to run, but choose it from Tier 3 to Tier 1 maps. The Dunes is a Tier 2 map but has a much better layout and also has the Fortunate card in the end. But I recommend Tier 3 maps the most as Craicic Chimeral spawn more frequently.Apr-27-2024
