↖ Atlas Progression: Wandering Path Strategy

Traditionally, players have focused on strategies involving Essence Strongboxes and Expedition to build up map pools and progress through map tiers. However, a new approach has emerged, known as the Wandering Path Strategy, which aims to provide both map sustain and progression speed. This strategy is particularly effective for builds that require minimal Poe currency investment.

↖ - Core of the Strategy: Wandering Path Passive

At the center of this strategy lies the "Wandering Path" passive on the Atlas passive tree. This unique passive doubles the effect of all small Atlas passive skills while disabling notables. The key nodes to focus on are the ones that grant a percentage chance for monsters to drop additional connected maps. By investing enough points in these nodes, you can achieve a 100% chance to drop connected maps.

 

↖ - Advantages of the Strategy

• Infinite Map Sustain: Running maps will consistently drop connected maps, ensuring a continuous map pool.
• Higher Map Tier Drops: Connected maps are likely to be of tier-appropriate or even higher tiers.
• Targeted Map Completion: The strategy allows for targeting maps adjacent to ones you already have, aiding overall map completion.
• Map Overabundance: You'll accumulate an excess of maps, potentially enabling map sales for additional currency.
• Faster Atlas Progression: The abundance of maps enables quicker tier progression and easier access to end-game content.

 

↖ - Implementation Steps

• Allocate points to the Wandering Path passive on the Atlas passive tree.
• Prioritize nodes that grant a percentage chance for connected map drops.
• Progress through maps efficiently, focusing on boss kills for map completion.
• Experience the benefits of infinite map sustain and targeted map drops.

 

↖ Currency-Making Strategy 1: Legion Stream of Consciousness

The Legion Stream of Consciousness strategy leverages the new Kirac modifier for Legion encounters to maximize currency gains. This strategy is ideal for players seeking consistent currency accumulation and who are interested in Legion mechanics.
