Path of Exile 3.22 is finally rolling out, so now what are the best maps to favorite for farming POE currency, sought-after Div cards, and blighted maps in the Trail of Ancestors league? We will get your covered by going over the TOP 10+ Maps to farm.
PoE 3.22 Map Changes
With the PoE 3.22 Expansion, besides new maps being added to replace some old ones, some other notable changes will also affect the map meta in the new league:
New Atlas Passive keystones and clusters bring new buffs to some maps;
Most maps are now discovered at a different tier than they previously were, as map levels and locations have been rearranged (the 'pin' placements on maps haven't changed);
Some of the Map Bosses you are required to defeat to upgrade your Pantheon have changed as a result of these Atlas changes;
Some Divination Cards will drop in new maps and locations, so you may now find Scarred Meadow and Tranquillity in the Orchard Map, and Whiteout in the Channel Map;
When rerolling Kirac's missions using an Explorer's Scouting Report, Unique Maps are no longer a possible reward;
Maps that have since been deleted from the Atlas may still have Crafting Recipes that were previously unlocked there;
Sextant modifiers have been adjusted such that the Final Map Boss in each Map now drops either an extra Shaper Guardian Map, Elder Guardian Map, or Conqueror Map after you complete the Map;
and more.

The Map and Atlas changes affect the mapping strategies and the Atlas passive tree in the new league. Therefore, what are the best maps to favorite now for the most effective farming? Considering the new map changes in the PoE 3.22 patch, and the aspects such as layout, Div drops, monster density, and boss of each map, we've chosen the Top 10+ PoE 3.22 maps that are good for farming in the Trail of the Ancestors League:
Carcass
Pros: A good map with tile sets based on the Rotten Corn act 9, it's a nice circular map with an extremely easy boss to do, so we can do Boss Rush, blights. Majoroity of the blight maps outside of a few outliners were two lanes or less, Carcass is a good two-lane map. The main thing makes Carcass appealing is just like last League where we had the Doctor hunt, Carcass offers us the Nurse (it should be more common than the Doctoer in theory). So doing blight and farming blight, and having that light explosion and the mass amount of mobs, we should see some the Nurses, it makes it really good to farm in a high ticket target for Blight farmers.
Map Type: Liner
Map Layout: Square
Boss Location: End of Map
Monster Density (Average): 597
Div Cards: The Nurse, The Hunger, The Dragon's Heart, The Surveyor, etc.
Crimson Temple (Tier 10)
Pros: The map has narrow paths and boss separated, one of the best maps that drops the best div cards. An ideal map for farming the Apothecary that can be paired with Delirium Mirror; also contains some high-value cards as Defiled Cathedral beside Innocent
Pros: Paths are narrow, easy to kill monsters
Map Type: Liner
Map Layout: Square
Boss Location: Mid/End of Map
Monster Density (Average): 485
Div Cards: The Apothecary, Seven Years Bad Luck, The Enlightened
Channel (Tier 16)
Pros: Paths are narrow, easy to kill monsters
Map Type: Liner
Map Layout: Straight
Boss Location: End of Map
Monster Density (Average): 641
Div Cards: Whiteout, Humility, The Destination
Tower (Tier 10)
Pros: The map comes with a great layout and mob density, but you have to face two bosses with phases. But no worries, the two bosses are separated and not twinnable, so we do think it is still worth running for farming the Nurse Div and Delirium Mirror.
Map Type: Liner
Map Layout: Square
Boss Location: Mid/End of Map
Monster Density (Average): Great
Div Cards: The Nurse, Home, The Soul
Atoll (Tier 5)

Monster Density (Average): 382

Boss Location: Mid of Map
Monster Density (Average): 485
Div Cards: Brother's Gift, Hope, The enlightened, Apothecary, Seven years bad luck
Dunes (Tier 2)
Pros: Wide and very open map, one of the best to do legion/breach/expedition. Great map for farming The Enlightened, The Encroaching Darkness, The Trial and The Sun cards; also has a simple layout and a fast boss.
Map Type: Wide
Map Layout: Square
Boss Location: End of Map
Monster Density (Average): 484

How to Pick a Good Favorite Map in Path of Exile 3.22?
Every league, the maps change, but you can use these criteria to pick a good one:
Layout: Linear is better than circular. You can run faster to the boss and avoid the fog in Leader or Delirium challenges.
Divination Card: Some cards are rare and valuable, but others have lost their worth. Check the market before you farm them.
Boss Location: Killing the boss spawns altars that can duplicate currency, items, and cards. The player altars are the best, so look for maps with easy bosses.
Monster Density: More monsters mean more loot and XP. Pick maps with high density.
These are some general tips, but your favorite map may depend on your build and goals. Experiment and find what works for you.
