↖ Snatching Those Blighted Maps

• Where to Find 'Em: Focus on Atlas maps with plenty of chokepoints, like Temple or Underground River.
• Atlas Strategy: Use specific Atlas nodes that favor Blight encounters. It's all about getting those Blighted maps.

 

↖ Atlas Nodes

• The Must-Haves: Epidemiology for more Blighted maps in chests, and Blight Spawn for profitable extractors. Don't forget Distilled Fungus for that bonus Blight boss.
• Extra Damage: Star Deconstruction speeds up monster kills, making your Blight runs more efficient.
• Pairing Mechanics: We usually pair Blight with Harvest mechanics, but feel free to mix and match with others like Breaches or Delirium.

 

↖ Setting Up Your Map

• Scarabs are Key: Use Polish Blighted Scarabs for an extra boss or Rust Blighted Scarabs if you're on a budget.
• Guilded Scarabs: These offer more rewards but are pricey and harder to find. Use them wisely.

 

↖ Atlas Compasses

They're great for boosting oil drops. If you can afford it, use them with Gilded Blighted Scarabs for maximum profit.

 

↖ Boosting Blighted Maps

• The Standard: Three Crimson oils usually do the trick.
• Build Struggles: Mix in some Ember oils to reduce tower costs.
• Seeking Extra Rewards: Try two Crimson and one Black oil.

 

↖ Avoid These Map Mods

• Big No-Nos: Avoid mods like Monsters cannot be stunned or Monster speeds cannot be modified. They can mess up your runs.
• To Corrupt or Not: Corrupting maps can backfire with these mods, so be cautious.

 

↖ Atlas Passives and Blighted Maps

Spoiler Alert: No, they don't. Your Atlas passives won't work in Blighted Maps. Focus your Atlas bonuses elsewhere.

 

↖ How Profitable Are Blighted Maps?

• Expected Earnings: Averages 25-50 Chaos Orbs per map, mainly from stack decks and oils.
• Big Drops Are a Bonus: You might hit the jackpot with items like Enlighten or The Doctor.

 

↖ Handling Blight Ravaged Maps

• High Risk, High Reward: These maps can be tricky. We usually sell them and stick to normal Blights for consistent gains.
• Anointing Strategy: Focus on maximizing your returns if you decide to take them on.

 

↖ Anointing Blight-Ravaged Maps

Go for Gold: Use combinations of Crimson, Black, and even Silver oils for the best mix of rewards and quantity.

 

↖ Choosing Mods

Play It Safe: Avoid risky mods and go for high quantity without corruption to ensure a smoother run.

 

↖ Boosting Quantity & Loot Further

Sacrifices and More: Use sacrifices to increase the quality and loot of your maps. Morals are an option if you have the budget.

 

↖ Anointing Rings

Best Picks: Empowering and Meteor are top choices. They significantly boost your tower's effectiveness.

 

↖ Best Tower Combo

The Winning Trio: Level 3 Freezing, Physical, and Empowering towers are your best bet for holding off enemies.

 

↖ Tackling Blights

Start Small: If your build is weak, start with white Blighted Maps and use a mix of Embers and Crimson oils for balance.

 

↖ Running Blight Without Gear

Tower Power: Even without gear, the right tower setup can carry you through. It's all about strategic placement and upgrades.

 

Blight farming in PoE 3.23 is a solid strategy for early league profit. It doesn't require heavy investment and is suitable for various builds. With the right approach, you can earn enough currency to buy high-end items like Mageblood. Remember, the key is choosing the right maps, anointing them effectively, and using your towers strategically.
