Path of Exile 3.25 Best Atlas Strategies Ranking

Random loot from normal monsters has been significantly nerfed, as much as 100% according to the author. This includes monsters added by mechanics like Beyond. Divination cards and other mechanics that rely on monster quant/rarity like strongboxes have also seen big nerfs as those monsters no longer drop much. Exiles/unique monsters seem to have been left unnerfed and can still be good for farming with the right setup.

Guaranteed mechanics like Harvest, Essence, Delve, Heist were not affected and remain strong. Expedition is decent for crafting, Ubers/Invitations guarantee certain rewards. Delirium and scarab farming is highlighted as one of the top methods now, as it provides a huge amount of scarabs which enable other strategies. League mechanics with chests/rewards like Blight, Delirium, Legion were not touched and provide consistent random loot over time.

Overall Path of Exile currency per hour from farming is estimated to have been lowered to pre-3.15 levels, with top strats at 20c/hr down from 100c/hr last league.

PoE 3.25 Best Atlas Strategies For Beginners

1 - Harvest

Harvest is an excellent starting point for new players. The garden mechanic is very straightforward, requiring players to simply plant seeds and grow crops. This provides access to powerful targeted crafting through Augmenting, Reforging, and Removing modifiers. Follow Tujen's questline in horticultural for free crafting options and rewards. Having this powerful crafting option available right from the start allows beginners to consistently upgrade their gear without needing to trade or amass currency.

2 - Expedition

Another great early Atlas strategy is focusing on Expedition rewards. Rondoh, the NPC who facilitates this league mechanic, grants players access to the merchant Rog who offers valuable crafting services in exchange for resources. Simply parsing maps and trading materials with Rog provides a generous source of basic currencies like alteration orbs. His crafting allows new players to progress their gear in a low pressure way. Additionally, progressing Niko's questline awards free crafting recipes. The Expedition mechanic also quietly progresses in the background as players engage with other Atlas content.

3 - Essence

Essences are a reliable way for new players to acquire strong rare Path of Exile items with their preset modifiers. They drop consistently throughout mapping and filling out the Essence nodes on the Atlas passive tree ensures a good supply. Even lower tier essences can create powerful leveling rares and upgrades. Selling valuable high tier essences also provides a steady source of chaos orbs for new players. The Essence mechanic involves simply right clicking the orbs, making it very low stress and easy to understand. This helps progress players through the early game by sustainably filling out their basic gear needs.

PoE 3.25 Best Atlas Strategies For Raw Divines

The Blood Aqueduct in the Sanctum of Thought is one of the most efficient places to farm raw Divine Orbs. Due to its layout and density, players can clear this map incredibly quickly. Combined with the stream of Divines from the chests, it provides a highly consistent source of main currency.

2 - 100% Deli

Running 100% Delirious maps is another top strategy. Pushing maps to the maximum Delirium tier grants the biggest rewards. In addition to the hundreds of scarabs these provide each run, players will see a steady income of raw Divines and other orbs drop. With investment, it rivals any other source in the game.

3 - T17 Currency

Shaped Tier 17 maps with the "ofs" currency modifiers are still very profitable. In addition to the occasional Divine that can drop from any pack, the currency chests guarantee a good flow. Bossing T17 maps is also strong as it provides access to Maven's invitations and their valuable rewards.

4 - Expedition

Expedition encounters in maps, especially those with the treasure trove modifier, offer Divines at a reliable rate. Trading resources with Rog also provides regular income, with bulk trades often resulting in multiple main currencies. Scaling this up further with scarabs enhances returns.

Ultimatum

Ultimatum encounters have a high chance to reward Divines when players achieve milestones. Investing in pack size and mob modifiers along with item rarity significantly increases the Divines per hour from these encounters over the course of many maps.
