Transcripts

hey guys so I want to make a new video

going over the best Farms I have found

so far in the new 3.25 patch so these

are mostly going to be tier 17 Farms but

I will mention some tier 16 Farms as I

know that's where most people are at but

yeah let's go with them real quick I

have my whole Google sheet here and just

has all my Farmers on here so if you

want to like look what I'm doing I

always put my latest Farm on here so

yeah but this first Farm is strong boxes

in tier 17 and this Farm also works tier

16 as well although it is less profit I

think it's probably somewhere around 5

to 7even days per an hour if the scarabs

don't get too expensive at least so yeah

what is this farm and like what are you

farming in this so this is this raw

currency divination cards and scarabs

that's essentially the whole Farm you're

taking just essentially Beyond um strong

boxes of course and then just Scarab

nodes and that's really get all the map

effect nodes to get more map modifiers

you know every 2% is essentially

more currency more scarabs and more pack

size in the tier 17 map so very very

strong to take map modifier effects once

again this can be done in tier 16 as

long as Ambush scarabs aren't too

expensive if they do get too expensive

then it might be a tier 17 only Strat

and I think in tier 16 it's probably

around a 5 to 6 an hour

Mark um also to set these four scars are

pretty much set in stone the two Ambush

the hidden compartments and the

discernment the Nemesis is a Flex spot

you can use another Ambush Scarab you

can

use opponency Scarab and playing around

with seems okay I'm not really sure

what's the best another SC might just be

the best but yeah um try whatever you

want don't use nesis scare if you're

going to do this in tier 16 but I would

do it and tier 17 it's not too bad but

yeah I'm not sure I've been playing

around with stuff um it's just a flex

spot try whatever you want I've been

doing this for all day in tier 17 this

is around anywhere from like 15 to 20 an

hour I don't have enough data to really

show but when my test yesterday it was

somewhere around that 15 to 20 hour mark

the issue is though there is quite a bit

of sell as you do diff cards scarabs and

you have your Ro currency so you do keep

that in mind if you are doing this in

tier 17 you want to roll your Maps so

let me if I have any here but I don't

but yeah you want to roll your maps for

at least 100% um more currency or more

scarabs you really want one of the other

or both combined like % more currency

and 50% more

scarabs and also as for chisels I think

the best chisel to use is the pack size

one but these are too expensive then the

currency chisel is also okay and even

just a regular chisel is also good

honestly if you're doing this in tier 16

I would only use the regular chisel and

that's it as other ones are probably too

expensive to use in tier

16 next Farm I want to go over is the

fractur farm I doing this a couple days

ago this was around like 10 to 13

divines an hour with the prices of

fractures not too sure how much it is

now probably still the same fractures

usually stay around the same price yeah

this is also the scare forign plus

fractures you're using the tradition

Scarab and just trying to spawn as many

monsters as possible while taking all

the Scarab nodes and you're just form a

bunch of fractures um now I did want to

say I don't think this tree or these

scarabs is optimal do play around with

this I do think there is a really good

Farm tradition Scarab that yeah this one

is probably just not it although it

still is good they definitely get

something better than this because this

does work on non-native monsters so it

does work on like haringer and Beyond

monsters though when I tried doing this

form with harbingers over these scarabs

it just felt worse so yeah I do want to

say I think this Farm has really high

potential but at the current state with

the one I have it's probably around like

13 divines an hour or so which is still

good but nothing

amazing yeah this is a tier 17 only

Strat I would not do this in tier 16 so

if you're wondering what do I do in tier

16 I still think Legion is very very

solid you really want to do the Beyond

delirium stuff as soon as possible it's

probably still around like 45 divines an

hour which is okay it's really good to

make your first like no 30 divines or

so you don't need to use Legion scares

by the way the if these are over five

chaos I would not use them if they are

five chaos then do use them it's you do

not have to use these feel free to just

throw in other cheap scarabs so RC's is

always very good these are like 1C each

monstrous lineage these are also very

strong and these are like one or two c

each always use these these get a lot

more value out of your alars and Alters

are quite good this leag because you

know chisels and bobbles are so much and

really really common from Red Alters of

course so yeah throw in whatever cheap

scarabs if the legion scarabs too

expensive or 5C it's generally not worth

it 100 Traders also is generally very

strong as well it's very good just to

get your starter currency uh if you

can't handle delirium just take it out

but you probably do want to do Beyond as

it does add a lot more currency to your

Maps as it adds a lot more monst to your

Maps

next one is still this Boss Rush Boss

Rush is actually decent because the Sith

Maps went up as people started to use

them for gold um it's probably not more

than like three or four divines an hour

but once again to get your starter

currency your first 20 or 30 divines you

can definitely just do this Strat and

you know have good success so I do

recommend it still very nice all it is

you're taking all these Heist nodes just

to click the Box free money and you're

just taking all these nodes up top you

know more shaper Elder Guardian Maps

synth Maps whatever right besides that

it's just like the play ideally if you

do this map on Silo and only

Silo um essentially what happens when

you do a silo map I explained this in

the past video but the boss phases and

Maven summons the additional bosses you

then kill the additional bosses and then

leave the map MAV as a witness the map

because I phased and then you just keep

running Silo over and over and over

again and it's very fast and efficient

now of course it's really hard to

sustain silos so you can either buy it

or just you know Run 10 different maps

and do the May in 10 away as well either

way it's a good starter shat do

recommend

and last Strat here is just a standard

red alter Beyond tier 16 Al and go

strategy so essentially all the Strat is

is tier 16 Al and go your har Beyond

Essence and red Alters this is probably

around like the three to four uh diff

Mark if I had to guess it's very easy

get started currency if you can't handle

Essence then just take out some Essence

nodes these ones specifically do make

the map balls very very hard take these

out if you just can't handle it but yeah

this is just for like starter currency

not much to say here it's just Al can go

preferably uh Dunes is probably pretty

good jungle Valley is probably okay Ma

Liam's okay but yeah any map you like

really anyway that's pretty much about

it that's all the strategies I have so

far I just wanted to make a quick video

to go over all the strategies that I

have you know found and been testing

over the past few days um there might be

some more potential here in tier 17 but

yeah tier 16 firms are kind of mediocre

and I don't really think there's much to

find in tier

I do want to say ultimatum and tier 17

map fing in tier 16s is very very strong

I just don't have a guide or whatever

for them tier 17 map farmer is only

going to get better as the leak goes on

as the tier 17 maps are keep cropping up

in price you know some tier 17 maps

already worth over 80 chos each so tier

17 M for is also very very strong as

well
