Best Way To Farm The Patient Card in PoE 3.19?

Using Enraged Strongboxes is the most deterministic way to farm Strongboxes

Why Farm Divination Cards on Colonnade Map in PoE 3.19?

In this league right now, there's only one major way to farm divination cards - doing strongboxes with enraged that gives you 500 Quant on the Strongboxes with magic find actually working on it. And the thing that drops the Div card is the mobs that Spawn from the strongbox and those are the mobs that have the increased Quant. What the strong box actually drops is meaningless and most of the time all of the Patient cards will come from the mobs and those mobs actually get Scaled by your personal player quad. So strongbox and Enraged strongboxes are the way to go now.  

The main reason we do this map is that we do it on Deli Orbs, and with Deli orbs technically, you can also do Promenade, you can also do a Colonnade is better mainly if you get a legion spawn. The legions will be a lot better on average and Colonnadeis a pretty wide-open map now.

At towards the end of this map, each map takes about eight to nine minutes roughly towards the end of the map, at this point after you finish off all the bad, you click all the alters, and then you just run over each of the Abyss and the abyss is your biggest chance of getting a God Touched. 

How Many The Patient Cards To Get Per For Fully Investing Into a Patient Div Card Farming Strategy?

Average 3x The Patient Cards from Per Map (70x Cards from24 Maps), which was tested by the POE Youtuber KobeBlackMamba with one of the most expensive but profitable strategies. 

PoE 3.19 Colonnade The Patient Card Farming Strategy

How did he do this? Here we will list the strategy for you:

1.  Sextants, Scarabs & Total Inputs

• Scarabs: Winged Abyss, Winged Reliquary, Winged Ambush, and Winged Divination

• Sextants: 3 Additional Strongbox, Engaged Strongbox, Delirium Rewards Fill Faster, and 2 Additional Abyss

• Delirium Orbs: 4x Skittering Deli Orbs for 80%

• Map Device: Abyss

• Master Mission: Bestiary or Alva

• Total Maps: 24

• Total Cost: 51.77 Divines

One thing to note is that you can adjust the scarabs around the nice part about doing especially like this: play with the numbers really easily like you can technically buy Gilded Abyss for 10c right or you can buy Gilded Reliquary, so in the end, if you use cheaper mats and you do a set and test it out and, then compare it to the other result, you might find out that using cheaper scarabs is the best way to do it.

Now total Maps he did was 24 and a real input cost was 51.77 Divines worth of investment for 24 maps, that is a pretty insanely High investment because that puts it at around 2.15 Divines per map, do you actually think we can profit doing the strategy?  So we'll see!

2. Atlas Skills & Mapping Method

You should check out the Atlas tree and unlock some nodes before you do the strategy, that will boost your farming efficiency:

Wandering Path - Using Wandering Path, because the best nodes are extremely OP, the ones that are the travel nodes. For example, the Abyss Monster Count node offers 30% increased Pack Sizes on Abyssal Depths in your Maps and 20%-30% increased Monsters on Abysses in your maps, and Abyss Chance provides more chance to contain an Abyss. 

Legion - For Legion, we're making the legion encounters last longer, more chances for Legion, and more duplication of the sweaters. For Example, Legion Timeless Emblem Chance offers a 0.4% chance for Timeless Splinters to drop as Timeless Emblems instead in your maps, and Legion Duplicate Splinter Chance adds an 8% chance to be duplicated to Splinters dropped by Legion Monsters or contained in Legion Chests in your Maps. 

Bestiary - You can take some Bestiary nodes if you're actually doing beasts, such as the Bestiary Red Beast Chance gives 10% chance to contain an additional Red Beast on your maps that contain capturable Beasts, and then you have to take all these nods over the top to get the increased effect of non-modifiers but this does make the maps extremely difficult.

Strongbox - Then you want to take some quad nodes in the middle like Strongbox Item Quantity and all Item Quality nodes,  and the Diviner's Strongbox Chance and Arcanist's Strongboxes Chance nodes, and make sure to take Strongbox Chance are Reopenable nodes so that you have a 12 chance o opening the strong box again

Ambush - If you're doing Ambush, you should take these Strongbox Additional Pack Chance nodes on the bottom that gives you the strongbox of the additional pack of monsters which should technically increase the daily rewards and spawn more Alters.

3. Incomes from Colonnade Farming

• 8 Total God-Touched - If you use Legion, the loot number of God-Touch would be higher and there is no God-Touched from Ambush Boxes, Total Value = 85.83 Divines

• 70x The Patient Card - Average of 3 per map, most in one map was 7, Card Duplication Altar is extremely important.

• 22x Divines from 2 Currency God-Touched - Ist is 15 Divines and 2nd is 5 Divines

• 29x Divines from Sacarabs - Actual value can be a lot higher if you decide to bulk-sell as Exilence uses Poe.Ninja Prices, the total profit of around 9 Divines from Skittering Orbs

4. Profit from Colonnade Farming

• Total Revenue from 24 Maps (not including 70x Patient Cards): 86 Divines 

• Total Profit from 24 Maps: 34.2 Divines

• Profit per Map: 1.426 Divines

If you can run 7 maps in an hour, then you would mean around 10 Divines per Hour, without factoring in Gen Leveling and Incubators. You get a God-Touched every 3 maps, but on some maps, you can get up to 3 which means you will have dry streaks. Huge variance with POE Currency God-Touched and Altars. The incomes get here are done with 100% Quality and 600% Rarity, but this method can be profitable due to skittering orbs and The Patient being a lower tier card. 

So as you see, though this Colonnade Patient Card Farming Method is expensive, it is still very profitable. What's more, if you just want to find loot regardless of the profit margin, using this strategy will help you save time and get what you want!
