Key Takeaways:

  • Group play is not profitable in the current Path of Exile league.
  • Tile-based loot is a reliable strategy for farming currency.
  • Subtractem shares his character build and preferred map for farming.
  • He plans to generate enough currency to fund a more expensive build in the future.

Building the Character:

In the video, Subtractem outlines that he tailors his character towards a Deadeye build, specifically optimized for encounters with Legion. He discusses his skill tree and equipment decisions, particularly highlighting the significance of life gain on hit and adrenaline. Although this build isn’t very tanky, it’s intended for efficient farming in Jungle Valley maps. Subtractem also suggests adjusting your loot filter to spotlight valuable incubators.

Farming Strategy:

To earn currency, Subtractem recommends that you should run Jungle Valley maps with Legion encounters. He suggests using ornate incubators and Legion scarabs for extra rewards. Subtractem also shares his preferred setup for the map device and advises running some Toxic Sewer maps without Legion encounters to boost the likelihood of getting more Jungle Valley maps. The idea is to collect enough currency for a costlier build in the future.

Next Steps:

Subtractem’s present gaming approach centers around earning currency instead of collecting high-value items such as Headhunter or Mageblood amulets. After he has saved enough money, he intends to invest in a second build that matches his preferred gameplay style. To start with a limited budget and maximize efficient farming, Subtractem aims to progressively boost his wealth in Path of Exile.
