Any suggestions on a starter farming build to fund stronger builds?
i have 3 characters near level 90 (oracle, blood mage, pathfinder) but my issue is that i lack both the damage, and the defense, to do harder content (like i tied to merciless xesht in the oracle plant build, it was too slow to kill) so i can't progress to unlock better tablets and stuff.
and im pretty con fident i'd die in juiced temples or juiced abyss
If you can tolerate it, Chaos temple is super easy money.
Just sell boss fragments. They're all going for 20div+ currently. You can do 4 runs an hour and make enough currency to push your build to a level that can farm more interesting/lucrative methods.
farm fracturing orbs using the double map tablet and sell them; invest in gear with the profits
What helped me a lot is playing with 1 or 2 revieves on the waystones so when u die to random bullshit u can still clear the map.
Also ritual or logbooks are very good source of income bc mit alot of ppl play those.
Personally I think the build u have are some of the strongest u should decently be able to run normal arbiter with those ,maybe link a PoB so we can take a look what to upgrade
Sekhema with Desperate Alliance relic is fine if you have enough damage.
Breach splinters are easy and relatively safe if you have good clear. Recommend buying 3 rare tablets with 2-3 extra clasped hands, at least one or two with chance for additional breach. This is how I started my farming journey this league. If you're up for it try to kill xesht at least once or twice to get the atlas points for even better farm.
The monsters arent too strong and it's actually kind of fun. Try maps with narrow corridors that aren't ass like grimhaven and marrow. Good luck!
As one of the comment said, chaos temple is super easy.
After that, imo abyss was my choice. Always around ~200d/hour (might take longer if you also farm rogue exiles). Just skip all non-amanamu map. My personal record is around 400d per 10 maps (which is slightly longer than 1 hour).
On the side you can build your path to atziri and hopefully get lucky to get unique Regalia, just sell those unidentified, easy 580div.
nickels a nickel, i like mapping for fragments, tower jumping then trying for atziri chest piece in temple when i get to 60. music blasting in the background. Use the unique tab to hit the boss twice and waystone chance is friendly :))
What I would suggest is run Grand Projects in towers and jump around chasing jade islands and Sacred reservoir. Chance to drop rakiatas flow or garakhans resolve which both sell for quite a bit.
Worth using visions of paradise tablet on them to run them twice. You don't need to run them at tier 15, I believe tier6+ has equal chance to drop them so they should be easier to handle.
I'd mark any citadels as you are doing this, and you can come and run them later when you're stronger (visions to run twice) for the calamity fragments which sell for a bit as well. Stack waystone chance for a chance of dropping 2+.
Temple farm
I do citadels and sell fragments, with the vision of paradise + increased waystone tablets, each citadel gives you between 3 and 4 fragments, you just rush the maps between citadels and you make hundreds of div per hour. I enjoy blasting through maps so that’s the best strategy for me.
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
