PoE 3.21 Best Maps To Farm Currency
What to farm Omni, Brother's Gift card, new high-valued Div cards, and Altar fast? The following maps are recommended by famous POE Youtuber KobeBlackMamba could be the best options:
Crimson Temple (Tier 8)
Ideal map for farming Apothecary that can be paired with Delirium Mirror;
Also contains some high-value cards as Defiled Cathedral besides Innocent;
Boss is easy to kill, though has two phases;
Can be paired with Enraged Strongbox Farming;
With eliminating all Boss Altars, the boss can easily be rushed.
Jungle Valley (Tier 12)
With no Boss Eldritch Altars, no need to do Boss Rush;
Only used for Altar Farming, no valuable divination card;
Great open map for Legion and other mechanics;
Similar to Act 2 Weaver, it takes a while to take the boss come down.
Dunes (Tier 2)
Ideal for maximizing Legion encounters and league mechanics spawns.
Its spacious design makes it an excellent choice for Projectile Speed Builds.
To make the most of Delirium Rewards Fill Faster, consider stacking as many legions as possible, along with Breach or Abyss.
Boss fight is relatively simple and easy to conquer.
Defiled Cathedral (Tier 13)
Ideal map to farm Apothecary Card, also contains the most valuable Div Cards: Innocent, Apothecary, Seven Years Bad Luck, Enlightened;
Easy layout to fully clear, but not the best for spawning Legion and league mechanics;
Can be paired with Enraged Strongbox Farming;
Boss is difficult and spawns pillars of degeneration, not great for Delirium Mirror Farming as the layout is circular.

Can get Boss Rush rid of Boss Altars;
Extremely Easy boss in a separate Room that has no extra phases;
New 5 Divine Orb card drops in Cemetery;

What is a Good Map To Favorite in Path of Exile League?
Although the map will be updated every league, we can still start from the following aspects when choosing which to go to favorite:
Layout (Linear or Circular) - Ideally, a good layout for a map should be linear so that you can easily navigate a straight path to the boss without having to backtrack. Maps with loops, such as the Race Course, are not recommended as they make it difficult to complete the Leader or Delirium mirror challenges, which require a linear layout to stay as far away from the fog as possible and avoid looping back into it.
Divination Card - Another important aspect to consider is the availability of good Divination Cards to farm. However, it's worth noting that many of the previously popular Divination Cards such as Brother's Stash, The Hoarder's and The Saint's Treasure are no longer available. This has led to a decrease in value for several Divination Cards that were once considered valuable, such as Scout on Tropical Island.
Boss Location - A significant portion of high-end farming is focused on killing the Alva boss, player, or Eldritch minion to spawn altars. If you manage to defeat the boss, the boss altar will no longer be available, leaving only player and Eldritch minion altars. The player altars offer several benefits such as currency duplication, player Quant and player Rarity bonuses, and the ability to duplicate Divination Cards. These bonuses are crucial for efficient farming in the game.
Monster Density - The map has a high monster density, meaning that there are a lot of monsters in a small area. This makes it a good map for farming experience and loot, as you can kill a large number of monsters quickly.
The choice of a "favorite" map in Path of Exile can vary depending on personal preference, build, and farming goals. However, some maps are generally considered to be good for farming and are often favorites among players.
