Path Of Exile 3.24: Beast Farming Is A Profitable Path To Accumulate Currency
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.

Path Of Exile 3.26 Explosiv ...
POE 3.26 brought back a lot of players, and the new leagues made everyone start over. Choosing a good starting build can save you a lot of time. But POE 1 and POE 2 are very similar, the item drop rate is too low compared to other similar games, so players need a build that does not rely on unique items and POE 1 currency, and is good to farm speed and boss damage. Such requirements seem too high, but POE 1’s class system is designed to be very complex and therefore can meet the various needs of players. Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist is a very useful build from the beginning of the season to the endgame. Pros And Cons Pros High damage with a small amount of gear Safe playstyle Solo Self-Found friendly Cons Defenses may be breached Damage has some delay Skills The following skills represent all the skill gems and support gems included in this build once it is fully built: Explosive Arrow: Ballista Totem Support, Ignite Proliferation Support, Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks Support, Awakened Burning Damage Support, Awakened Deadly Ailments Support Summon Chaos Golem: Summon Stone Golem, Summon Flame Golem, Summon Lightning Golem. Arcanist Brand: Flammability, Flame Surge, Flame Wall Cast when Damage Taken Support: Molten Shell Precision: Determination Grace: Enlighten Support, Flame Dash, Arcane Surge Support Frenzy: No Blood Rage: No In the early stages of the game, you play as a witch in the same way as a normal witch. But after you get Fixture of Fate, you need to go to Library and find Gem Vendor to get the following gems for backup: Explosive Arrow Ballista Totem Support Faster Attacks Support Grace Haste Blood Rage Frenzy You will need to embed these gems into your weapons later. When you reach Act 4, you need to go to Oyun and get your Golems. You can get them from Vendor in the town. Each Golem requires 1 Chance Orb. Here are Golems you need: Summon Flame Golem Summon Lightning Golem Summon Stone Golem Summon Chaos Golem Although these Golems can’t take much damage, you will enjoy the benefits of these Golems after you get Liege of the Primordial. They can provide resistance and health regeneration. But remember to reactivate them every time you change equipment or socket out. Equipment The advantage of Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist build is that it is not very dependent on equipment, because the game’s drop mechanism does not always drop the equipment you need. If the equipment is better, then change it. However, since the survivability of this build is relatively weak, you need to pay attention to stacking more resistances when adjusting equipment, and your goal is to stack all resistances to 75%. You can equip Sapphire Ring and Ruby Ring after level 20 to increase your resistance to the maximum. Besides resistance, you can pay attention to the following affixes when choosing equipment: Increase attack speed Increase casting speed Increase dodge Increase accuracy (make sure to reach 100%) Increase maximum speed In addition, you need to avoid some misyakes: 1. First, this build needs to use a bow, but you need to avoid using slow bows, and they will seriously reduce your DPS. 2. Secondly, avoid making the number of projectiles an even number, because this may cause your arrows to split and miss the boss. 3. Finally, you must pay attention to Accuracy. Although Explosive Arrow is your skill, it is the same as your normal attack. If Accuracy is not high enough, your arrows will not hit the enemy. Especially in the later stages of the game, stronger enemies will make it more difficult for you to hit, so it is best to let Accuracy reach 98 to 100. After you have cleared all the campaigns, you can start to really build your weapons and armor. At this time, all your unused POE Divine Orb, Chaos Orb, etc. will come in handy. You don’t have to buy POE 1 currency anymore. Find a normal or rare equipment as a base and try to reroll the affixes you need most. Since the survivability of Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist is relatively weak, you also need Flasks to provide you with additional resistance in battle. You can use currency to change the affixes of each Flask. Below are the Flasks and affixes you need. Eternal Life Flask: Immune to Bleeding or Corruption Bleeding while Flask is in effect Quartz Flask: Increases evasion while Flask is in effect Quicksilver Flask: Increases armor while Flask is in effect Granite Flask: Increases movement speed while Flask is in effect Jade Flask: Reduces curse effects while Flask is in effect This build may have some damage deficiencies after you enter the endgame, you can convert it to other builds to increase damage. You can also continue to improve various aspects of this build, which can also bring good damage. The above are the equipment and skills required for Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist builds. This is a build used for leveling and early transitions, so there is a lot of flexibility in the choice of skills and equipment, and you can adjust it according to the currency and equipment you have.Jun-23-2025

Path Of Exile 3.26 Heist: W ...
After nearly ten months of waiting, Path of Exile will finally launch a new league on June 13 this year! According to the regular schedule, 3.26 league should have been launched around October last year, but the development of POE 2 obviously delayed this process. In fact, until the first trailer of 3.26 Secrets of the Atlas, there were still opinions in the game community that the launch of the new league might be postponed indefinitely, but fortunately this situation is finally coming to an end. However, it is precisely because 3.26 came too late that you may have almost forgotten how to utilize those unique mechanics in the first game. Based on this, we will utilize heist as an example to introduce you to how to earn POE currency as soon as possible in the 3.26 patch. What Is Heist? First of all, you need to review how heist works - after all, there seems to be no similar gameplay in POE 2. The heist in POE is in Rogue Harbor. To enter here, you need to collect Rogue’s Marker by completing daily tasks, and then click it in your backpack to travel to Rogue Harbor. Each heist requires you to sign a contract and cooperate with up to one rogue, who must have reached a certain level of his job. Find Adiyah, the Wayfinder in Rogue Harbor and deliver the heist contract and other required materials to her to reach to the official heist location. The rogues that can be recruited and their jobs are: Karst, the Lockpick: Lock-picking, Perception, Agility Tibbs, the Giant: Brute force, Demolition Isla, the Engineer: Engineering, Trap disarmament Tullina, the Catburglar: Agility, Lock picking, Trap disarmament Niles, the Interrogator: Counter-thaumaturgy, Deception Nenet, the Scout: Perception, Counter-thaumaturgy Vinderi, the Dismantler: Demolition, Trap disarmament, Engineering Gianna, the Master of Disguise: Deception, Counter-thaumaturgy, Perception Huck, the Soldier: Lock-picking, Brute force, Demolition, Engineering After a successful heist, in addition to the regular monetary rewards, you may get most types of game items as dropped loot. If you defeat a specific boss in the process, you may also get rare gear or jewels. 3.26 Best Heist Plan For The League Although the heist offers a wide variety of rewards, it is still mainly based on currency. Therefore, if you want to utilize this mechanism to accumulate currency as soon as possible after the launch of Secrets of the Atlas, it is important to first choose the right rogue. Based on the different jobs, each rogue has different perks and functions. To accumulate enough currency in the early stages of the league, it is recommended that you choose Vinderi, Gianna, and Tullina. The bonuses they bring are as follows: Vinderi: Increases the chance of Heist chests copying their contents by 6-14%, and increases alert level by 14-30% Gianna: Reduces Blueprint revealing consumption by 10-30%, discovers a blueprint reveal upon completion of a heist contract mission Tullina: Increases your chance of finding additional heist targets in secret reward rooms by 10-26%, and reduces alert level by 6-14% These three rogues can maximize the blueprints and reveal you get, and then you can view as many unlockable rooms as possible by uploading blueprints to ensure that the rooms that can bring you more rewards are unlocked first. Or after 3.26 is launched, you can farm specific rooms according to your character’s situation. Generally speaking, it is best to prioritize currency and divination cards in the early stages of the league, and go straight to the ultimate reward room in the later stages. Specific Operation Process After understanding the basic information, the first step is to determine the rogue you want to recruit, as well as the plan and blueprint. Then enter Rogue Harbor to start grabbing heists and enter the rooms you find to search for rewards according to the contracts you need to execute. When you find and decide to take the currency treasure chest and divination card treasure chest, don’t rush, pay attention to the escape route in the room (indicated by a small ladder), you need to open it before reaching the last room to leave in time. If you are running grand heists, you will come to Curio Display after reaching the end, which has many additional high-value rewards, including POE Divine Orbs, one of the available currencies. It is worth noting that if your character dies in battle during the heist, you will lose all the contraband you picked up, so be sure to treat every battle carefully. When you and your rogue complete all the tasks, you can return to Rogue Harbor through the escape route to settle the loot. In addition, when 3.26 league is launched, if you enter the middle and late stages and think that your character can stably complete each heist, you can find Whakano, the Barber, one of the support NPCs, before starting the heist and exchange more demolition contracts with him. This type of contract has a high probability of giving you an extra random chest when the loot is settled, and opening the chest will get at least one Chaos Orb. So you can definitely accumulate extra currency in the early stages of 3.26 league in this way. To be honest, this classic mechanism combines resource farming, fun and strategy very well, which is probably why it has been preserved since it was launched. Maybe POE 2 should also try to develop a similar mechanism. The above is our plan for effective heist in the upcoming POE 3.26. I hope it will be helpful to you!May-26-2025

Path Of Exile 3.25: Which G ...
When you create a new character in Path of Exile, you are presented with a variety of game modes to choose from. Experienced players will probably be able to quickly decide which mode is best for them. However, if you are new to the game, the options can be a bit confusing. Here is a guide to help you choose the best game mode for you. In this guide, we will explore the two different ways to play in Path of Exile: standard and seasonal modes (called leagues). We will point out the key differences between the two modes to help new players understand which one is best for them. We will also explain what happens to your character when the season ends. Game Mode Options Explained When creating a new character in Path of Exile, you have three different modes to choose from: Standard League Seasonal/Challenge League Hardcore Seasonal/Challenge League It is important to note that Challenge League does not appear as an option, but as a current league. For example, if Settlers of Kalguur is the latest league at the time of this guide, you will see Standard League, Settlers, and Hardcore Settlers in the options. Beyond standard league or challenge leagues, there are additional modes to choose from: Hardcore Ruthless Solo Self-Found When choosing Hardcore, if your character dies, it will revert to standard mode, which is non-hardcore mode. Choosing Ruthless, on the other hand, means that the game will be significantly more difficult, which may slow down your progress. For experienced players, this mode may provide a fresh sense of challenge. However, this mode may not be suitable for beginners who are just starting to play the game, unless you have enough POE Currency to obtain and upgrade equipment so that you can adapt to the difficulty of the game in this mode. You can also pay attention to Giveaway platform in iGMeet discord, which often releases some product giveaway information. You can follow each information release by being active in discord group. As for Solo Self-Found, you cannot trade or team up with other players in this mode. But it is worth mentioning that this choice can be changed after the character is created, so you are not permanently restricted to the initial choice. Description Of Challenge League A seasonal league is a limited-time feature in Path of Exile. They are called ‘Challenge Leagues’ in the game. Only during the league event can you create a new character and experience the special gameplay related to the league. For example, in PoE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league, players can build and develop the town of kingsmarch. If you choose to play standard league, the town building function mentioned above will not be available. Standard mode consists mainly of the core game content and content added in later updates, and does not include any unique features for a particular season. What To Do After Challenge League Ends? When a season ends, you cannot create new characters in that season. With Settlers of Kalguur mentioned earlier, this means that ‘Settlers’ option will no longer be available. However, this does not mean that your characters from that season will be removed. Instead, they will be transferred to a permanent league with your map progress and all your stored items. When Do Challenge Leagues Usually Start? If you want to restart the game and seek a fresh experience, challenge leagues are a good choice. So how often do these leagues usually take place? For example, the current challenge leagues started on July 26, 2024, while the previous Necropolis league started on March 29, 2024. A challenge league lasts about four months. This roughly marks the length of a season cycle, but seasons do not end without warning. As new seasons get closer, you’ll start seeing announcements about them, which gives you time to prepare. It’s important to note that once a season ends, your character won’t be able to transfer over to the next one, but this also gives you a great opportunity to try out a new class or build. How To Choose Game Mode That Suits You? If you want to experience the latest content, challenge leagues are a brilliant choice. These leagues are where new content is introduced, so joining challenge leagues is the best way to experience the game. It’s also worth noting that since more players tend to play in this mode, you’ll can interact with other players more. Challenge leagues are also a brilliant choice for new players. Starting at the beginning of a league ensures that you don’t fall behind other players in your progress. If you start in standard leagues, you may not run into other players as often, and if you do, they may be much stronger than you. In summary, whether you're a hardcore player or a novice, it's important to understand the characteristics of each mode so that you can have the best experience in the wonderful world of Path of Exile.Aug-06-2024

Crucible Week 2 News A new patch has just been released, which brings a number of changes and balances that are sure to shake up the PvP meta. Be sure to stay updated with these changes, as the new balance patches could potentially shift the power of weapons, subclasses, and playstyles. We're also seeing the return of the much-awaited Iron Banner. Guardians can compete in this special event to earn unique gear and weapons, making it an exciting time for all PvP enthusiasts. Current Meta Report Two weeks into the Crucible, we're beginning to see a new meta emerging. Here's a rundown of what's dominating the battlefield: Weapons Hand Cannons continue to be a favorite in the current meta, with the likes of Ace of Spades and Dire Promise standing out due to their high impact and usability at various ranges. Pulse Rifles, specifically Vigilance Wing and Bygones, are also becoming increasingly popular. They're reliable at medium-long range engagements, where they outperform Hand Cannons. In terms of Special Weapons, Shotguns like the Felwinter’s Lie and Astral Horizon are a top choice for aggressive players. Subclasses For Warlocks, Top-tree Dawnblade continues to dominate with its aerial combat superiority. Titans are seeing a surge in the use of Middle-tree Sentinel, courtesy of its versatile utility in both offense and defense. As for Hunters, the Bottom-tree Nightstalker is gaining popularity due to its ability to suppress opponents’ abilities. Winning Strategies Here are some strategies to help you dominate the Crucible: 1. Teamwork: The Crucible is not just about individual skill. Effective communication and teamwork can often overcome superior firepower. Stick together, call out enemy positions, and coordinate your Super abilities for maximum impact. 2. Map Control: Understanding the layout of the maps, including vantage points, choke points, and spawn locations, is crucial. Aim to control areas of the map that give you the advantage, forcing your enemies to fight on your terms. 3. Weapon Pairing: Pair your primary and secondary weapons in a way that covers various ranges. This way, you will be prepared for engagements at any distance. 4. Use Your Vertical Space: Many players forget to look up, giving you a surprising advantage. Warlocks and Hunters can use their aerial abilities to attack from above, often catching enemies off guard. Crucible's dynamic environment promises exciting times ahead, as the meta will surely continue to evolve over time. Always remember that while adhering to the meta can give you an edge, your comfort and proficiency with your chosen weapons and subclasses are what truly drive your success. So, gear up, dive in, and may your Light guide you to victory!Jun-06-2023
