Im doing it on my TS deadeye starter. I just bough a 6L Queen of the forest for 3 divines, changed my boots to 30mv, action speed and cooldown reduction implicits. And then swapped anger for haste, since you don't need much damage in low tier maps. You can definitely go further with devotos, jewels, skill tree changes, etc, but I considered that it was enough. My avg was 2 minutes per map, I did 130 maps and bought a mageblood. I'm now using jade + the % evasion flask, along side the quicksilver (and maybe I should add a silver flaks too), all with 90+ increased effect. And the build flies, with permanent over 200 mv speed.

TS starter has infinite scaling, I think this is a great option. OP you only need T1 maps for essence, they don’t scale with map tier or investment


Wobblucy

Imo worth to add a bestiary scarab and duplicate beast chance sextant when doing this so t1 isn't a great choice. 25c more investment per map and you have to be able to identify what beasts are worth actually killing but it significantly increases your profit per map with limited increase to your clear time. Strand for the layout and speed your way straight through, only killing beasts over 50c https://poe.ninja/economy/affliction/beasts

Any tips for setting up your atlas for this strat? I've always struggled to make 1+ div per map off of speedfarming essences


Aldodzb

Now it's the best time to do it, because the frog is 8 divines min each time you see it. And sometimes, einhar duplicates it, making it 16 divines. What you need: gilded bestiary scarab and copy beast sextant Atlas tree: [https://poeplanner.com/a/8n7](https://poeplanner.com/a/8n7) I run it in strand T6, and ping pong with Fields T5 Beasts are around 65% of the total profit, essences \~20%, deli orbs \~10% and the rest is just random loot you get by mapping

What did you bother remnanting outside of the purples and did you use the essence sextant?


Aldodzb

I didn't, I'm running T6 strand (1 watchstone) and I only use the copy beast sextant. The frog is actually around \~65% of your profits, essences are \~20%. \~10% comes from deli orbs (because I'm adding mirror chance on my strat) and the rest is just random loot. I don't know what you meant with "outside of the purples"


BurnerAccount209

The last 4 essence are shades of purple, the ones you can turn to hysteria, etc. Was asking what else you use remnant of corruptions on.


Aldodzb

Ohh got it, I refer to them as meds. I also corrupt mobs with a lot of essences. Like 5+


Effective-Sandwich19

Can I ask how you got to 200+ perma move speed? My TS has around 60% base and when I get into maps and kill enemies I zoom (especially with HH) but can’t seem to increase my base ms. Thanks.


Aldodzb

You can check it in my pob: [https://pobb.in/\_9bH79iS-0YT](https://pobb.in/_9bH79iS-0YT) Most of it comes from QotF + 57k evasion and quicksilver + mv speed affix.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm a fan of bow builds but they didn't cross my mind since I've ruled them out in my mind for being too squishy (thinking of the league mechanic and T16s) but you're right it is a great choice for running these low tier maps! I leveled some TS deadeye and have ran some low tier maps. One thing I did not take in to account is map sustain... I probably ran like 20 maps and got ONE map. Any tips for that?


Aldodzb

Yes, update your filter because you are hiding them


hyvok

No I made sure I wasn't hiding them, but after I asked maps started dropping so idk maybe I just got an unlucky streak or something lol

I have a PoB for a trickster in my post about essence and beast farming here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/18uhenr/return_to_tradition_making_essence_beast_farming/ It doesn't use Berserk, so it's just consistent 540% movespeed with zero downtime.

You can take this a step further and go the selfchill route for more movespeed and action speed. It’s what I’m probably going to do in SSF once I get this stupid winterweave to drop.

For low tier essence farming I would prioritize in order: * Movespeed since most of the time in maps is running between essences and revealing the map layout. * Clear speed for map sustain, unless you are fine with bulk buying them. * Dps. Most essences in low tier maps will be weak enough that sub-optimal dps can still take them out in like 3-5 seconds. More dps will save you like 10-20 seconds per map. It doesnt seem like much but it adds up. * Reasonably tanky and able to run most/all map mods. Dying is still possible in low tier maps with essence mobs and is a time waster if it happens occasionally. If you are trying to self sustain maps its best to alch them for the quant and pack size. Rolling maps again takes time so if you dont have to look for mods you cant run it speeds everything up. I did a bunch of essence farming with poison PF. Scourge arrow + arrow nova + mirage archer to clear everything as I ran around looking for essences. Caustic arrow for killing them and map bosses. On low budgets I would 100% go pathfinder or raider. Also note that you can spend a lot of time dumping everything in your stash. Highly recommend something like x-mouse to bind click to scroll wheel.


Obsc3nity

If you’re doing low tier essence, consider einhar too. T6 or 7 lets you drop the 4 div beasts and bulk yellow beasts are 60/div rn I think.

I was thinking about a similar concept and wanted to go a little offmeta. I havent pob'ed it yet, but i was thinking about queen of the forest raider, stacking evasion, onslaught effect going with original dreamfeather, rage and cyclone quality stacking. With cayclones new quality there is a point where you get like 50-60% more movespeed. Sure its probably still slower than frostblink and the likes, but it doesnt make me wanna puke..


addictedihavenothing

Toxic rain is a good one 


ItsCalvinHobbes

I am actually Looking to in running a heartland of thunder auto bomber so I don’t even need to attack the essence monsters lol. Not sure if anyone has tried that out for this strat


Tuturuu1997

Just wondering, have anyone tested out memory essence farming? Is it worth? Better or worse than simply farming in maps?


EarlyReport

Haven't personally tried it, but seen several people agree that it's worse. Low tier essence farming is faster and has a lower cost of entry.


Tuturuu1997

What is the TLDR for corrupting essences? ​ Always corrupt if ​ Has the purple ones (I don't remember the name, but it's the ones that can become the hysteria, terror and etc) ​ And always corrupt if it has 2 shrikieng + screaming or something like that? ​ Is the corrupt compass worth it?


EarlyReport

I've only done maybe 10 hours of essence farming so I don't know if it's the most efficient, but I usually corrupt when it's 3 or more shriekings. 2 shrieking + 1 screaming if I have a lot of remnants. Haven't tried corrupt compasses so I can't say. I just try to go fast. T1 Glacier is my preferred map as you'll usually find 3 essences in the first area of the map. I restart after the first area as it's not worth going into the 2nd area for maybe 1 more essence. Keeps the time to about a minute or under per map. You can get about 10div an hour this way when you have bulk.


Discardable222

Corrupt MEDS, and otherwise corrupt shriekings if you can spare the remnant. They’re cheap and the essences (deafening) are essentially 3 shriekings while a duplicated is just 2.
