Why Farming Routes Matter in POE 2

In Path of Exile 2 efficient currency farming is not just about luck or build strength It’s also about planning and optimizing your path through content to maximize profits per hour U4GM emphasizes that understanding and following well-designed farming routes allows players to consistently earn Chaos Orbs Divine Orbs valuable crafting materials and tradeable loot These routes are built around content density synergy with mechanics and time efficiency making them ideal for players who want to sustain their mapping costs upgrade gear and fund high end crafting or bossing goals

The Atlas Mapping Route

One of the most reliable and accessible farming routes for any player is focused around fast paced Atlas mapping U4GM recommends using high density maps such as Cemetery Strand Crimson Temple and Dunes which have easy layouts and strong mob grouping that work well with most clear speed builds The route involves chaining these maps back to back while investing in Atlas Passive Tree nodes that boost pack size influence strongboxes shrines and specific league mechanics such as Abyss or Delirium By running these maps with Scarabs Sextants and Kirac mods you can enhance currency drops while also farming Divination Cards that are consistently valuable such as The Nurse The Apothecary or The Doctor depending on map selection

Delirium Mirror and Cluster Farm Route

For players with stronger characters U4GM suggests the Delirium Mirror route which is one of the most rewarding but also mechanically demanding farming methods This route involves selecting maps like Tropical Island or Crimson Temple and ensuring they are dense with monsters using Beyond and Delirium Scarabs to trigger massive enemy waves when the mirror is activated To scale profits further invest in Atlas nodes that increase Delirium rewards enhance cluster jewel drops and spawn Delirium bosses Delirium farming is best suited for builds that can handle chaotic environments and deal high area damage as the screen will often be filled with monsters and visual effects but the payout in Simulacrum Splinters cluster jewels and raw currency can be enormous

Expedition and Logbook Farm Route

Expedition remains a top-tier farming route in POE 2 due to the direct access it offers to valuable currency and unique items U4GM recommends targeting Expedition nodes on the Atlas and using Expedition Scarabs to guarantee encounters in every map The route is straightforward but slow paced involving carefully detonating remnants for modifier stacking and maximum loot If you acquire Logbooks you can run them separately in town which allows for an even more profitable and controlled farming environment Focus on Tujen for bulk currency trading and Rog for crafting base acquisition This route favors strategic players who enjoy slower content with high currency returns per session

Heist Lockpicking and Blueprint Route

For off-map farming U4GM recommends Heist farming as a strong alternative that bypasses the cost of map sustain The most profitable Heist route involves focusing on Lockpicking and Perception contracts as well as high tier Blueprints with multiple wings Blueprints offer access to currency chests divination cards and replica uniques which can be traded for high profits To maximize results players should invest in leveling Rogue characters and equipping them with gear that boosts reveal speed and alert level control Heist is ideal for players who want to engage in a more casual but consistent method of earning currency without needing top tier mapping builds

Harvest and Essence Circle Route

Another strong farming route is centered around Harvest and Essence nodes which are consistent and easy to execute U4GM recommends choosing circular map layouts such as Jungle Valley and layering the map with Essences Harvest encounters and strongboxes This route is great for crafting focused players who want to gather raw materials and sell bulk currency to other crafters The Harvest mechanic especially when scaled through the Atlas Tree offers valuable crafts that allow you to influence gear more directly which adds a layer of long term profitability beyond raw drops This is one of the safest and most stable currency farming methods for solo players or casual farmers
