Path of Exile: Strategies for Currency Farming from TomRiva's blog

Generating currency in Path of Exile can be a challenge, especially for newcomers or those struggling to reach end-game bosses and acquire valuable Voidstones. This guide offers effective strategies to help players make Path of Exile Currency and enhance their gaming experience.

Commit to Preferred Mechanics and Run Maps

To maximize currency farming, focus on one or two mechanics that you enjoy, such as Harbinger and Legion encounters. Customize your Atlas Tree to prioritize these mechanics, blocking others that may dilute your loot drops. Running as many maps as possible is crucial for currency acquisition.

Juicing Maps Properly

For optimal results, invest in your maps and utilize your map device effectively. Allocate Atlas Tree points for increased item quantity and rarity, ensuring frequent Harbinger and Legion encounters with multiple bosses and abundant loot. Fill all slots in your map device, using scarabs and fragments to enhance drops. Additional mods like "Fortune of the Brave" can further increase your loot potential.

Utilize Sextants and Map Quality

If you have voidstones in your atlas, sextants can provide modifiers for your maps, such as additional Harbinger or Legion encounters, increased monster pack size, or more Legion shards. Enhance your maps' quality to 20% using cartographer's chisels, but remember to apply them to normal white maps, not rare yellow ones.

Notable Currency Drops from Harbinger and Legion Encounters

Harbinger: Fracturing Shards and Orbs, Annulment Shards and Orbs, Ancient Shards and Orbs, Chaos Shards and Orbs, Exalted Orbs.

Legion: Chaos Orbs, Exalted Orbs, Divine Orbs, Legion Shards (used to unlock the fifth slot in the map device), Incubators, Scarabs, Maps.

Invitations Farming

Selling boss invitations can be a profitable currency farming method, especially early in a league. Unlock the symbols for the Searing Exarch and the Eater of Worlds on your map device. Play maps influenced by these bosses until you receive invitations. The number of maps required is indicated by the boss icons. Selling these invitations throughout the league can yield around 200 Chaos Orbs each.

To engage in invitation farming:

Open a map under the influence of the desired boss.

Play the map until the first boss influence triggers.

Immediately leave the map and repeat the process until the boss icon is full.

Complete one more map, and at the end of the boss fight, you'll receive your invitation.

By employing these strategies, Path of Exile players can significantly enhance their currency generation, allowing for smoother progression and greater opportunities in the game.

Earning Currency in Path of Exile: Selling in Bulk

Selling items in bulk can be a lucrative way to generate POE Orbs in Path of Exile. Certain items, such as incubators obtained through the Legion mechanic, are highly sought after. Additionally, there are several other items that can be profitable when sold in bulk, particularly at the beginning of a league. Here are some examples:

  • Maps
  • Sextants (with compass)
  • Scarabs
  • Essences
Ancient Orbs and Annulment Orbs

To facilitate selling in bulk, we recommend utilizing the Discord server called The Forbidden Trove (TFT). This platform provides a convenient and efficient way to sell various items in large quantities. You can learn more about how to use this platform in the accompanying video.

By leveraging the opportunity to sell these items in bulk, players can significantly boost their currency earnings in Path of Exile. With practice and a consistent supply of maps, one can earn an invitation every ten to 15 minutes using the invitation farming method, resulting in over four Divine Orbs per hour at the beginning of a league.
