    [Guide/Analysis] Lira Arthain Chayula/Blight Farming Strategy (~2,8ex/hour)

    Posted: 25 May 2021 08:56 AM PDT

    [Guide/Analysis] Lira Arthain Chayula/Blight Farming Strategy (~2,8ex/hour)

    Hey folks,

    so yesterday I participated in a conversion regarding whether or not the increased chance for Chayula on Watchstones is noticeable. In this conversation I stated that I made quite an amount of Exalted Orbs (~400+ in total) this season, using the Chayula Watchstones in the Lira Arthain region, but I couldn't support this statement with any facts or (other) numbers, which is why I've ran 50 maps using the named strategy to collect some data - which I want to share with you:

    Setup

    • Build
      • Fire Burst Autobomber
    • Lira Arthain Atlas Bonus
      • Spores on the Wind (Blight)
      • Epidemiology (Blight)
      • Immune Response (Blight)
      • Probing for Weakness (Breach)
      • Flash Brash (Breach)
    • The Uncharted Realms Atlas Bonus
      • Secrets of the Storm (increased effect of Watchstone modifiers)
      • Remnants of the Past (chance to drop Elder/Shaper Guardian map)
      • Adept Tracker (chance to get double progress for Conquerors)
      • Thaumaturgical Awakening (increased drop chance for Awakened Gems)
      • Atlas Awakened (+1 Awakening Level)
    • General Watchstones Setup (for Awakening Level)
      • 4x Watchstones at Lira Arthain
      • 3x Watchstones at Tirn's End & Lex Proxima
      • 2x Watchstones at each other region
    • Atlas Completion
      • Completed Bonus Objectives: 161/164
      • Completed Awakened Bonus Objectives: 160/164
    • Legion Completion
      • Completed a 5-way Legion encounter to have 5 slots in the Map Device
    • Loot Filter
      • Basically Neversink's Uber Plus Strict filter with some adjustments
    • Atlas Missions
      • None

    Playstyle

    I pretty much prepared the maps (see below), finished them as fast as possible (<50 mobs left) while clearing Chayula and Uul Breaches (and skipping all others Breach types). Additionally, I completed all Blight encounters and killed all map bosses, Conquerors and Sirus (in case they spawned).

    Initial Investments

    Assuming one didn't invest anything into the Lira Arthain region yet, the following initial investments have to be made to make this strategy work:

    • Watchstones
      • 4x Watchstones with "Breaches have 90%+ increased chance to belong to Chayula"
        • Average price: 150c / Watchstone (trade link)
        • Total average investment: 600c
    • Maps

      • 50x Racecourse map
        • Average price: 9c / map (trade link)
        • Total average investment: 450c
        • [this might be a lot cheaper if you buy them in bulk from TFT]

      ### Total initial investment: 1050c

    Regular Investments

    My preparation for the 50-map-session included (buying) the following:

    • Scarabs
      • 1x Rusted Blight Scarab per map
        • Average price: 9c / Scarab (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 450c
      • 1x Gilded Breach Scarab per map
        • Average price: 15c / Scarab (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 750c
    • Map Fragments
      • 1x Sacrifice at Dusk per map
        • Average price: 0,3c / fragment (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 15c
      • 1x Sacrifice at Dawn per map
        • Average price: 0,33c / fragment (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 17c
    • Zana Mod
      • 1x Breach per map
        • Price: 2c / mod
        • Total investment (50 maps): 100c
    • Sextants
      • ~100x Prime Sextant
        • Price: 2c / sextant
        • Total investment (50 maps): 200c
    • Map Juice

      • 4x Cartographer's Chisel per map
        • Average price: 0,33c / chisel (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 66c
      • 1x Orb of Alchemy per map
        • Average price: 0,13c / orb (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 7c
      • 1x Vaal Orb per map
        • Average price: 0,3c / orb (trade link)
        • Total average investment (50 maps): 15c
      • 1x Chaos Orb (generalized) per map (assuming you can't run all map modifiers and some will break due to vaaling)
        • Total investment (50 maps): 50c

      ### Total regular investment (50 maps): 1670c

    Loot

    Total loot after 50 maps

    Total loot after clearing the stash

    • 75x Chayula Fragment (=111c)
    • 18x Awakened Sextant (=90c)

    • 1x Perfect Roll Lion's Roar (=15c)

    • 1x Shaper Guardian map (=11c)
    • 1x Crescent Splinter (=10c)
    • 2x Veiled Chaos Orb (=10c)
    • 31x Vaal Orb (=9c)
    • 5x Chaos Orb (=5c)
    • Not counted: 40x T15 Racecourse map [since we use these ourselves (= map sustain is guaranteed)]

    ### Total Revenue: 3802c

    Income Statement

    Total initial investment: -1050c

    Total regular investment (50 maps): -1670c

    Total investment: -2720c

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Total revenue from loot after 50 maps: +3802c

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Total profit after 50 maps (session 1): +1082c (7,2ex)

    Total profit after 50 maps (session 2 and onwards; extrapolation): +2132c (14,2ex)*

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    \Due to the fact that one doesn't have to invest into maps or Watchstones in the 2nd, 3rd and upcoming sessions, the profit is almost doubled in comparison to the first session.*

    Profit per Hour

    I finished 50 maps in 4 hours and 37 minutes. I think it's fair to say that the initial preparation of maps, buying scarabs, etc. takes quite some time which is why I'd say I've spent around 5 hours in total in that session (might be even more depending on the supply, but let's stay with 5 hours to make it easier). This corresponds to a profit of 426c (2,8ex) chaos per hour, beginning from the second session (due to the lack of initial investments).

    Additional Revenue Potential

    While not each and everyone of them guarantees an increase of the profit per hour, there are quite some sources for potential additional revenue (which I didn't use because I either feel like they are not rewarding and/or disrupt my mapping flow):

    • Harvest (I did not run any of them)
    • Vaal Side Area (I did not run any of them)
    • Ultimatum (I did not run any of them)
    • Abyss (I did not run any of them)
    • Atlas Mission (I did not run any of them)
    • Complete Xoph, Esh or Tul Breaches (once it turned out it's one of them I continued clearing the map)

    Additionally:

    • I really feel like using sextants does nothing but decrease the amount of profit (around -200c/50maps) one gets with this strategy since normal mobs drop almost nothing (due to the sctrictness of the loot filter). Maybe someone has insights on why it is or can be profitable?!
    • While the map clear speed of the Racecourse map is pretty fast due to the static layout, I feel that maps like Marshes or Shipyard might be better overall [but I have no data on this (yet?)]

    I'm pretty sure I missed some. Happy to hear all of them. So don't hesitate to give me input/feedback (on everything).

    Note

    As almost every PoE farming strategy, this one doesn't come with a guaranteed outcome due to the high variance. Some sessions will be more profitable than others. On top of that, I don't state that this is the best (or even one of the best) strategies to make the most or the fastest profit. But you will definitely make a profit if you follow the above. How much and how fast depends on your build, on your clear speed and - of course - on your luck. The more you play, the more deterministic results you will get.

    Cheers

    PS: English isn't my native language. If you find mistakes, keep them ;)
    PS2: Let's hope I didn't make any critical calculation mistakes.

    I have dropped two Mirrors today and I want to clarify to GGG that I'm in fact not cheating

    Sorry the first screenshot is a bit scuffed. I just did it with the snipping tool which afterwars made me look up the hotkey for screenshots for the future occations and I couldn't actually believe it but I did drop another Mirror not much playtime later.

    Since I guess that this event has to be rarer than life in the universe I hope that when GGG looks into this they won't falsely come to the conclusion that I'm acting against the TOS. :)

    This is after playing this game an unhealthy amount since beta and never getting one ever. Guess I hold the Mirror of Kalandra market in UHC now.

    Always remember guys, the hideout is lava!

    I've take down Kitava in SSF HC and i'm very proud of myself.

    I have not relied on any build/guide but my own experience and instinct. I had to respec few times during acts tho cause the excess of dmg but lack of hp.

    Wanted to be defensive as possible (without loosing dmg tho) so i went as a Duelist/Champion using Earthshatter as a main dmg dealer.

    It takes me ~ 1 day to get there which is pretty slow since it take me ~ 5 hours to finish acts on SC, but i didn't rushed at all. Better slow than dead!

    My next goal is to kill Sirus but i'm not sure ahah

    Love you people ♥️ hope we met again with a Sirus kill screenshot!

    Update: Qosmoz's Road to Headhunter Farming Project

    Posted: 25 May 2021 12:48 PM PDT

    Fellow Exiles! Previously I shared my casual dream for this league to farm for a headhunter with a mini science project. Original Post Here!

    So far, I am very happy with the little time I could spend on this farming project. Headhunter prices are ever increasing since then, but bit by bit making progress towards it. Starting budget was 500c and it could sustain throughout Blighted Maps which will fund easily for the rest of the project.

    It's going to be a very good set of data since I did not get any lucky drops yet to swing the average gains. This is very much inline with I had last league when I run very similar project.

    Here is the Spreadsheet to follow Updates: ROAD TO HEADHUNTER

    Content # of Runs Cost (c) Profit (c) Profit (ex) by Exilence Time Spent Farming (h) Actual Sales (ex)
    Blighted Maps 36 Maps 1707c 4386c 30.25ex 6hr 35.60ex
    Simulacrums 30 Runs (12 Runs) 2261c 4006c 27.63ex 4hr TBC
    Elder Guardians + Twisted Invitation + Elder Boss Farm 30 Full Rotations (Current Runs)
    Shaper Guardians + Formed Invitation + Shaper Boss Farm 30 Full Rotations
    Uber Elder Boss Farm 30 Runs
    Breachlords + Hidden Invitation 30 Full Rotations
    Synthesis Maps + Forgotten Invitation 30 Full Rotations
    Infused Beachheads 30 Maps
    Cortex 30 Runs
    5-Way Legion Runs 30 Runs
    Maven 30 Runs
    TOTALS 3968c 8393c 63.24ex 10hr 35.60ex

    Farms are being done with my own build: Low life Blazing Salvo Mines Sabo. Mapping and Boss runs are quite smooth with my build and all above content is viable. Below you can find additional info on my builds, and other info about me.

    Qosmoz's LL BS Mines Sabo Build Guide

    Qosmoz LL CoC Ice Nova Assassin Build Guide

    It'll be quite fun to complete this project in the next couple of days/weeks.

    Streaming quite hectic, but I try to do every run during streams. If you are interested, please join me on my twitch channel. I stream mostly on Mon/Wed/Thur/Sat evenings ~9pm (CET) until midnight. My content typically is about boss killing, helping other people to learn boss fights, enjoying good drops for people when I carry. It's pretty chill and fun. Here is my channel: twitch.tv/Qosmoz

    I plan to make some explanations and details about the entire thing during my streams, it might bring some inspiration chasing items for some players like me.

    Cheers! Qosmoz
