Path of Exile 1 Legacy of Phrecia Currency Farming Guide
Legacy of Phrecia has introduced new opportunities for wealth-building, but understanding the nuances of map modifiers, scarabs, and influence-specific mechanics is key to staying ahead of the competition. From leveraging powerful Altars with Eater of Worlds or Searing Exarch influence to running optimized maps like Jungle Valley, we'll explore the best Path of Exile 1 currency farming strategies for Legacy of Phrecia event.
1. PoE Legacy of Phrecia Heist Currency Farming
Heist generates basic Path of Exile 1 currency like Chaos Orbs, Jeweller's Orbs, and Chromatic Orbs efficiently. Grand Heists drop valuable items such as replica uniques, experimental bases, and Thieves' Trinkets. Heist requires little to no damage investment—100,000 DPS is enough. Therefore, a fast-moving build with good survivability is ideal. You can sustain Heist materials (contracts and blueprints) by running a few maps with Smuggler's Caches. Heist has minimal upfront costs, and profits grow as you scale up.
1. Steps to Maximize Currency with Heist
Preparation for Heist primarily revolves around movement speed and survivability. Equip items that boost your speed, such as Queen of the Forest, Restless Ward, Devoto’s Devotion, or Seven-League Step. These items will help you complete Heists more efficiently by minimizing the time spent escaping.
When it comes to builds, prioritize fast-moving characters like Pathfinder, Raider, or Trickster. These classes benefit from speed-stacking mechanics through flasks, auras, and unique Path of Exile 1 items. Survivability is just as important; ensure you have enough defenses to handle monsters while escaping.
2. Farming Heist Materials
Smuggler's Caches:
Found in maps. They drop:
Contracts (single-run Heist maps).
Blueprints (multi-wing Heists for big rewards).
Rogue Markers (currency for Heist runs).
Atlas Strategy:
Use Idols with:
100% chance to spawn a Smuggler's Cache per map.
Chance for additional Smuggler's Caches in maps.
Avoid heavy investment into the Atlas Passive Tree for Heist, as idols provide better returns.
Map Device Option:
Use the map device to add 2 additional Smuggler's Caches for 5 Chaos Orbs (profitable once you're running tier 16 maps).
3. Running Contracts
Pick Valuable Contracts:
Deception Contracts (Jana) are the best:
No locked doors on the way out.
High-value rewards.
Counter-Thaumaturgy Contracts (Niles) are a budget alternative.
Optimize Alert Level:
Open fewer chests while progressing toward the target.
Focus on treasure chests with currency and valuable loot.
Avoid hitting max alert before stealing the main target.
Scour Contracts:
Rarity doesn't affect loot from chests, so scouring contracts is optimal.
Saves resources and keeps the run simple.
4. Running Grand Heists
Blueprint Selection:
Focus on blueprints with rewards like:
Replica Uniques.
Thieves' Trinkets.
Experimental Bases.
Reveal Wings and Rooms:
Use Jana or Niles to reveal wings and rooms at a discount.
Prioritize revealing entire wings over individual reward rooms for better value.
Sell or Run Blueprints:
Fully revealed blueprints sell for 40–50 Chaos Orbs (or more for 4-wing ones).
Run blueprints yourself if you want to gamble on high-value drops.
5. Rogue Management
Unlock All Rogues Early:
Complete runs with specific rogues to unlock others:
Tibbs → Tolman → Niles, and so on.
Huck is unlocked through Karst.
Level Up Rogues:
Rogues level up their respective skills (e.g., Lockpicking, Perception).
Higher levels reduce job times and improve efficiency.
Gear Rogues:
Equip rogues with gear that:
Speeds up their job completion.
Increases job skill levels (e.g., boost Jana's Perception for blueprint reveals).
6. Selling Heist Loot
Contracts:
Sell high-demand contracts like Deception for 8 Chaos Orbs each in bulk.
Blueprints:
Sell fully revealed blueprints for premium prices.
Rogue Markers:
Convert excess Rogue Markers into Chaos Orbs (500 Rogue Markers per Chaos Orb).
2. PoE Legacy of Phrecia Eater vs Exarch Currency Farming
1. Profit Comparison:
Eater of Worlds (Eater):
Drops Eldritch Ichor (Lesser, Greater, Grand).
Altars can provide bonuses like currency duplication, divination cards, and increased item quantity.
Offers consistent rewards with higher highs, making it reliable for steady profits.
Searing Exarch (Exarch):
Drops Eldritch Ember (Lesser, Greater, Grand).
Altars have peaks and valleys: incredible highs when you hit big rewards (e.g., Chaos Orbs, Chisels, Regrets), but mediocre results when you don't.
Divination Cards: Eater Altars can roll modifiers that reward divination cards like The Brother’s Stash (Divines) or The Patient. Exarch Altars don’t offer this upside.
Which to Pick:
If Eldritch Ichor (Eater) holds greater value than Embers (Exarch) in the market, choose Eater.
If Embers are worth significantly more than Ichors, Exarch becomes the better choice.
As of now, Eater is generally recommended because of its more consistent highs and the opportunity for divination cards, which add an additional layer of profit.
2. Best Map to Run
The recommended map is Jungle Valley because of its unique characteristics:
Boss Mechanics: The boss in Jungle Valley doesn’t spawn until you enter the arena. This eliminates any altar modifiers that apply to bosses, leaving only useful modifiers for monsters or the player.
Map Layout: Dense and straightforward, making it ideal for farming Altars.
Tier Accessibility:
With two Voidstones, Jungle Valley is a Tier 15 map.
With three or four Voidstones, it becomes a Tier 16 map.
If you unlock the Mesa map in the Atlas, you can Horizon Orb it into Jungle Valley, ensuring consistent farming.
3. Scarabs to Use
Scarabs are crucial to scaling your currency farming potential. Here are the recommended scarabs for this strategy:
Gilded or Polished Ambush Scarab: Adds strongboxes for extra loot and monsters.
Gilded or Polished Divination Scarab: Increases the chance of divination card drops (important for Eater influence).
Gilded or Polished Breach Scarab: Adds breaches, providing extra monsters and loot.
Gilded or Polished Bloodline Scarab: Spawns packs of magic monsters, which synergizes well with increased pack size modifiers and Altars.
If you’re running Exarch influence, you can consider a Rusted Breach Scarab instead of Bloodline, as the scaling benefits differ slightly.
4. How to Make It Rain with Altars
Altars are the core of this strategy. Here’s how to maximize your gains:
Use High Pack Size Maps:
Roll maps with modifiers that increase pack size, quantity, and rarity. Avoid modifiers that reduce monster density or make maps too difficult to run efficiently.
Prioritize Altar Choices:
Eater of Worlds:
Choose Altars that duplicate Eldritch Ichor or increase their drop rate.
Pick divination card rewards if offered (especially cards like Brother’s Stash or The Patient).
Avoid player-debuff Altars unless the upside is massive (e.g., currency duplication).
Searing Exarch:
Focus on Altars that duplicate currency (Chaos Orbs, Chisels, Regrets) or increase their quantity.
Skip Altars that only buff the boss, as they are less valuable.
Invest in Idols (Atlas Passives):
Equip Wandering Path or Eldritch Gaze Idols to boost Altar effectiveness.
Eldritch Gaze increases the impact of Altar modifiers, scaling the rewards significantly.
Run Maps Efficiently:
Clear the map fully, prioritizing the killing of rare and magic monsters to trigger more Altars.
Avoid rushing the boss in Jungle Valley to ensure you get only the best Altar rewards.
Scarabs Synergy:
The density added by scarabs (Breach, Bloodline, etc.) ensures more monsters spawn, increasing the chance of finding Altars. More monsters = more currency drops.
