Man you're the best! I tried doing it just like you did and in the first 3 attempts I got one divine orb and one voidborn reliquary key from the salvaged boxes. I know it's prolly lucky and I won't get them in the next 20 maps, but still feels good :D Doing blight completely differently (boss waves, open map, different tower types) feels good btw, no crazy 8mods, chisel, alch, check mods if playable and go
idk man, we lost oil extractors for this after all. Is it a nice bonus for a single point? yes does it beat out going for lesser lanes to get more blight specific rewards? I don't think so
Always coming with the good stuff!! I've noticed that they've been pretty alright. For just one node, I'm all for it. I mean, if you're gonna be spec'd into blight, you may as well take it. As a one point node, it's definitely A tier if not S.
It's certainly fun but it's straight up a nerf to blight. The blightreach buff is genuinely pointless, by the time you have looted your blight at best you have 20 seconds left on it and then the whole area is cleared because you did a blight encounter there, it's also giving you alot of garbage tier blighted maps. The towers do throw some bubble gum your way but that's nothing on extractors, i'd swap back in a heartbeat.
I'm glad you are excited about it. However, it's not great compared to other strategies.. takes too long.. loot is average at best even juiced. The takeaway i got from this is "waste 5 minutes clicking towers for a little gold and a few scarabs".. meh. But to be fair.. I've never really cared for blight as you can get better rewards and boxes from legion among others stategies without waiting and in some cases simply one shot the entire legion with vaal ice nova and such. Boxes, legion, and beasts have all been far more rewarding and seem to drop higher tier currencies if invested in the Atlas for them with far less time involved. Just my two cents. Whats cool about POE is there are so many ways to enjoy the game.
This league, with the currency market, i think blight is more ok than before, selling all the bubblegum currency, and since blight mechanic also drops tons of gold, u wont run out unless you are interacting with the town very often and havent fully upgrade everything. Previously it is very tedious and hard to sell all the bubblegum currencies, since you have to go back to hideout, if you are farming blight / blighted maps and stack up a lot of those bubblegum currencies and selling it while still farming, 6 portal is not enough (unless you use tft to bulk sell whole tab)
@@moti6151 who are you? The comment police lol? I’m a player with over a decade of experience commenting on strategies that I find more profitable but I’m glad the op is enjoying it and happy with the results ..
Disregarding all other drops (currency and gold mainly), the fact that I've managed to get 2 sanctum tome drops from the tower salvage specifically is a bit of an outlier (2/3 tomes have come from salvaged towers)
Turns out i wasnt sustaining maps because i had Fungal Horizons on. I have like 100 blight maps but no normal ones to complete my atlas. next time i should learn to actually read things.
@Travic_ I think that 60 seconds is a lie then. I bought a second blight tab just because I was sick of going to grab a non atlas completed map and it was just 3 blight maps overflow from first tab. I swear after doing the encounter, almost all maps would be blighted that drop. I finally took it off to complete atlas and it felt worlds different. I guess I could have been doing the rest of the map in 60 seconds but wow it's so many.
Yeah! I have been working on figuring out the best way to do this and ways to juice it to the moon. I dont think my character can handle the strat I have in mind so I am looking at what I need to do to make it work
so, your take is to not run blighted maps and the run regular maps? I'm speaking both in general and specifically, since the bounties do not appear in blighted maps
I second this question, I usually use the chilling tower stun and meteor towers leave fire on the ground but I think I'm going to drop the meteor tower annoint and just use the empowering towers have increased range annoint since I want more tower variety now and don't want to have to make meteor towers
Salvaging doesn't seem to be that good by itself, it really starts to shine in an open map with Blight Scarab of the Blightheart. It makes it possible to actually get the full 18 towers. Even at 14 or so that has been my max so far the loot from salvage was massive.
I have a day 1 atlas video explaining the atlas and my choices. All I did was change expedition to beast. Outside of clicking all the blight nodes the world is your oyster but if you really want what im using now (which isnt really min-maxed) heres a screenshot: imgur.com/a/68KK2R6
Dont like this at all, dont have to run blight for more random stuff. i want ez to sell oils. and some guy dropping a puzzle box gives me nothing compared to regular income i had with extractors and gold oils. feels like a big nerf for blights to me. and that blight map buff node is stupid too, because by the time you are done looting your chests, its mostly run out. and we lose 2 tiers of oil, from tree and scarab.
does TI work in blighted maps or only in maps with blight events? ive noticed i could click towers to salvage them in normal maps but that wasnt the case in blighted/blight ravaged maps
Ok it looks like you're almost there, but i'll give you the REAL secret about salvaging towers. GOLDS. Those are some bitcoin gold farm materials, i'm not kidding. Here's what you wanna do : get as much as quantity on your map, because golds scale with quant, so you'll get mouting modifiers, chiseled perfecting, invasive adversary, then you get eater of world (or exarch, chose one) and get as much quant altar as you can handle. You can add ritual, stronboxes, and some shrines in your atlas tree, to get more monsters that drop golds in your maps, get ambush in the map device, and then you clear the map and get quant altars before doing the blight encounter and min-max templar ingenuity. With this strat, with garbage alch and go (and chiseled) maps, i get between 15 to 30k golds per map. I guess if you get some 8 mod corrupted maps, and if you are doing some partyplay, you could get more than 100k per map. enjoy you settlers profit.
Interesting find, but at the end of the day I think you would proabably make more money just do blight maps, but if you could pair this with another mechnaic it could be good. idk.
21:10 .
man I really love your Blight-content .
I'm learning so much + I really love the non-edit, non-cut from 0 to finish showcase .
Man you're the best! I tried doing it just like you did and in the first 3 attempts I got one divine orb and one voidborn reliquary key from the salvaged boxes.

Nice! Thank you for the info! I am glad to see you got super lucky thats really exciting
Salvaging towers and opening chests multiple times has been fantastic
Dude its so sweet!
Especially with the caster mastery that opens chests
Travic: These are the 6 tower types
Empowering Towers: Bruh 😭
xD
There were SO many other things wrong with what he said in that section, lol.
idk man, we lost oil extractors for this after all.
Is it a nice bonus for a single point? yes
does it beat out going for lesser lanes to get more blight specific rewards? I don't think so
Ya this is a really bad change for blight.
The lane of bosses is really Rip'y. IDK if im gonna keep trying to do it. I keep getting Boofed
Always coming with the good stuff!! I've noticed that they've been pretty alright. For just one node, I'm all for it. I mean, if you're gonna be spec'd into blight, you may as well take it. As a one point node, it's definitely A tier if not S.
I got chills when the 200 gold and Ruby Ring dropped from Salvaged tower! Good stuff!
This guy, I know know this guy I got it to work though did you see on stream earlier?
@@Travic_ Nope, maybe I will watch the vod later xD
Thank you Travic, this was hugely helpful. Fantastic job. I'll hopefully catch your stream to hang out
Started doing this today and just got a Rakiata's Greatsword out of Salvaged Hoard on a non-juiced T16 map. Owe it to you haha THIS WORKS!
!!!! THATS INSANE CONGRATS!

Thank you!!!!
Turns out i wasnt sustaining maps because i had Fungal Horizons on. I have like 100 blight maps but no normal ones to complete my atlas. next time i should learn to actually read things.
I am going to test this myself, the buff is only 60 seconds it shouldnt affect too much but you make a good point! I Lets see what happens
@Travic_ I think that 60 seconds is a lie then. I bought a second blight tab just because I was sick of going to grab a non atlas completed map and it was just 3 blight maps overflow from first tab.

I guess I could have been doing the rest of the map in 60 seconds but wow it's so many.
I tried it and couldn’t even find the chests. I was wondering if they put the loot in the blight maps or required you to do the salvage thing for loot
You can only do it in regular maps that have blight in them this does not work in blighted maps
I've used this since the start and it gives me decent stuff, gold and even divines.
Yeah its been awesome
I did all my Money this league from Blight and finding flasks and Alting them all day.
Can we expect an update for 3.25 a week into the league for atlas tree, scarab choices, etc?
Yeah! I have been working on figuring out the best way to do this and ways to juice it to the moon. I dont think my character can handle the strat I have in mind so I am looking at what I need to do to make it work
At 12:05 you said "...hope we get the nameless seer, which we dont"
How did you know if you got the seer?
@@Yoshimiko951 he spawns on the pack that dies
@@Travic_ But you said it the second you walked into the map. So, how did you know that the seer wasn't on that map?
@@josephmonk9041 It spawns as soon as we kill a mob it was mostly just making a joke at the time about how hard it was to find the seer :(. Sorry!
so, your take is to not run blighted maps and the run regular maps? I'm speaking both in general and specifically, since the bounties do not appear in blighted maps
Depends on what you want. I have been doing both to great success
What is the second anoint on your jewelry being used ? Chilling towers freeze and…?
Cool video, gonna try it, thanjs
I second this question, I usually use the chilling tower stun and meteor towers leave fire on the ground but I think I'm going to drop the meteor tower annoint and just use the empowering towers have increased range annoint since I want more tower variety now and don't want to have to make meteor towers
I had meteor towers burn but changing it to something like empowering tower is probably really strong.
Salvaging doesn't seem to be that good by itself, it really starts to shine in an open map with Blight Scarab of the Blightheart. It makes it possible to actually get the full 18 towers. Even at 14 or so that has been my max so far the loot from salvage was massive.
Thanks for the vid man keep it up
Thank you!
So do you run these on regular maps and then also do regular blighted map runs too?
These only work on blight encounters in maps
I get that, sorry, i meant do you split your time doing regular maps and blighted maps? Sorry new player, so probably asked in a weird way lol
How do I not get rekt by the full lane of Blight bosses?
Chill level 3 + stun level 3 + empower level 3, next to eachother on that lane they'll never move
@@Slim_Sumo Thanks, it's seems making the towers lvl4 was the issue.
@@torvic1236 yeah that'll do it. Scouts and fire towers are the only ones that should go to 4 typically tho there are exceptions
Hey, what are the best builds for blight in your opinion to farm solo
if you play with the single blight chest scarab, they are insane
I wish there were time stamps so it’s easier to navigate your videos
They’re full of info
I can update this when I get to the computer ! Thanks for the feedback!
Wanted to let you know this was updated! Thank you again!
The most needed video on blight this patch!!!!!!!!
NO NOT REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you recommend blight maps with hexblast occultist? I've never gone into real blight before just cleared some on regular maps before
You could do it! I did it last league. It works fine
@@Travic_ Thanks, i'll give it a shot once i get the mageblood :D
What am i missing? i have templar ingenuity active but my towers arent salvaging after the map.
does it only work in blight encounters in normal maps? is my problem that im running blighted maps?
@@zeeheilman99 yes it’s only blight encounters in maps. It says it on the node.
Is there a way to post your atlas ? I just started maps last night and want to use yours. I could just pause the video and screenshot if not, but jw
I have a day 1 atlas video explaining the atlas and my choices. All I did was change expedition to beast. Outside of clicking all the blight nodes the world is your oyster but if you really want what im using now (which isnt really min-maxed) heres a screenshot: imgur.com/a/68KK2R6
lets goo just started eating
xD perfect timing
Can you provide Atlas link?
Need a few more upgrades to fully take advantage of this node but once i do aint nobody gonna be abale to tell me nothing lol
FULL SPEED AHEAD!
im doing this in 8 mod corrupted maps let me tell you i put in 3 map scarabs and my screen is full
my buddy got a mirror salvaging tower 2 days ago lol
Is blights in maps still better than running blighted and ravaged maps??
you got leftclick on mousewheel?
@@amongabriel3383 no I just click quick and precisely
Is beyond a good way to scale blight?
It would give more mobs and more gold. I dont think it will scale the reward from blight though but it pairs nicely with ALL THE MOBS
I meant kinda tangentially, like it would scale the amount of currency per blight, neh?
Would ghosting interact with blight?
Or maybe self ghosting?
Travic: 3 white tier maps
shows 3 red tier normal maps 🤔
White tier red maps like scoured
Dont like this at all, dont have to run blight for more random stuff.
i want ez to sell oils.
and some guy dropping a puzzle box gives me nothing compared to regular income i had with extractors and gold oils.
feels like a big nerf for blights to me.
and that blight map buff node is stupid too, because by the time you are done looting your chests, its mostly run out.
and we lose 2 tiers of oil, from tree and scarab.
do you use any scarab?
does TI work in blighted maps or only in maps with blight events? ive noticed i could click towers to salvage them in normal maps but that wasnt the case in blighted/blight ravaged maps
Works in blighted encounters only.
Skills in the Atlas tree affect all non-unique maps on the Atlas, as well as Vaal Temple Map and Shaper Guardian maps
sadly most of the blighted nodes dont effect blighted maps
blighted/blight ravaged maps are completely different case, atlas in general does not work with them.
Only works in blight encounters and not blight maps
Why not Cassia's Pride?
You can but as I showed / explained Cassias pride will probably kill the mobs too quick. Just test it
Are people actually saying these things to you Travic or are you just assuming they would?
Cause if they are they need to get a F'n life dude!
I have the receipts xD
Ok it looks like you're almost there, but i'll give you the REAL secret about salvaging towers.
GOLDS.
Those are some bitcoin gold farm materials, i'm not kidding.
Here's what you wanna do :

enjoy you settlers profit.
Yeah I started to notice this! Glad I am not crazy.
Doesn't work at all in blight ravaged, and blight in general has been pretty low tier gold production compared to other atlas strats.
What? The salvage node gives a lot of gold!
It won't work for ravaged as ravaged has nothing to do with our atlas
Bro didnt get how the Atlas and blighted Maps works
@o.muller5119 alot of people don't just have to give the information out
It works for blight encounters not blighted maps and if you are looking for them to drop and scale gold you need to scale your maps to be harder
Interesting find, but at the end of the day I think you would proabably make more money just do blight maps, but if you could pair this with another mechnaic it could be good. idk.
