as a new player i like how you started with the basics because i didnt even understand harvest that much at first lol, also many guides are older where the info on monster harvest packs says different stuff
Gameplay wise I think the mechanic is fine, Crop Rotation brings some more decision making to it as well. Anyway I would really love to see some powerful Harvest craft, cause right now most of them are a shadow of their former self!@@ibulleti7948
Hello from Brazil! I love to make my math during my gameplay and strategies. I liked your video style and edition!!! I'll follow you mate!!! Please, keep doing this amazing job! Our "rats of farming" need it! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you man! Future content will cover an updated for high budget MF builds for League and Standard, MF tips & tricks and some more non-MF related stuff like this video
If your build can run it you can use expedition on your map with the new big explosion to be still super fast. Expedition profits from the same modifiers as harvest: pack size and quant
@@Jinryougoa good solution can be removing ess and going with chance to get expedition. Ive been running ess, exp, beast farming and its almost 100% of the time i get an expedition.
THANKYOU SO MUCH! omg I'm averaging 8divs/hour with this strat, its absolutely insane, maybe I'm getting lucky with yellow crops but holy cow even if its other colour its still around 4k lifeforce PER MAP, this is broken af
Ty for the in-depth explanation! I'm glad crop rotation isn't a must pick. Sure it would be fun if it was really good, but I wouldn't want to check out all crops and harvest them in the correct order for some marginal gains.
Yes Crop Rotation slows down gameplay a little bit. It's more interactive, so I find it fun, but farming without keystone is just smoother and more profitable, unless the lifeforce sextant of the lifeforce you are farming is stupidly high (which sometimes happens in standard when big crafters destroy the market)
@@Exosta Yea it's a good one. The Harvest and Expedition keystones are the best new ones I believe. I tried the torment one and it didn't even seem to work unfortunately.
should also mention mausoleum and jungle valley map as their bosses don't count as bosses for the purposes for alters so you can straight ahead kill monsters without needing to rush the boss.
Sadly we don't have access to jungle valley during this league, so I didn't include reference to that Map, I personally don't like Mausoleum as a Map layout. As long as you go straight to Boss in Crimson Temple or other high density Maps you should not lose too much quant - max 1 altar imo
Great video! Thanks so much - I'll be implementing this. Quick comment because I'm not sure anyone else has said anything. "Grove" is pronounced like "trove" or "stove", and not like "move". Don't worry about the accent all though! Great content. Just trying to help because it's one of those things you may like to know that no one is going to say anything about.

I will make a full video about the MF Academy Strategy Guide spreadsheet. I didn't feel ready so far cause I always add things to it and I want to present it as a 100% finished product.

That said now that my channel is gaining more viewers I see that I could open the document so that you can make a copy. I'll keep you posted on this topic!
I used this harvest with expedition, if you're using the big bomb, you're better with just going essence instead of expedition. I had a lot of maps that i couldn't even take 1/5 of the rewards just because the boxes had modifiers that i couldn't fight against, of course if you're not using the big bomb it's not an issue but it consume a lot more time per map, in other hand, Essences don't have any downside, you just kill and kill and doesn't take any time to do, and is free profit. Also maybe i was doing something wrong but i didn't see much profit, like 1 or 2 divines with Tujen, no luck with Gwenen, and the crafting with Rog was 99% of the times pure garbage. The only thing that was decent profit was selling the books, stacked decks and a few raw chaos from Tujen, but let's be honest, you can get more chaos/divines just by selling essences and it doesn't take any extra steps. For me the best combination was strongbox, essence and harvest, with niko to help clearing everything faster and also some extra profit from buying chaotic resonators for azurite and selling those, it's free money. The only thing that was even better in terms of currency per hour was boss rush, but that's only if you don't take the time you spend buying the compasses, maps, and invitations, and the amount of time that take to sell all the contracts if you combine it with heist, it was rewarding, but also a pain in the ass at least for me.
yooooooo what a wild life that is!!! cheeeers~ thanks for the vid, and hoenstly its the kind of strategizing that actualy makes me love tadding some harvest to my potential large grind plans idk. sadly i CANNOT be asked to do sextant buying cause at best i maybe will have 3 void stones soontm, but its still wild ot see. and deffinitly tells me this comunity drinks harvest juice by the damn dumptruck full if prices still go up hahahaha~ really hope i can get some entertaingment out of it even though im doing my first 50 maps run on jsut some casual beach mapping with expedition band scarabs but maybe after that some harvest map devicing sextants w/e fun with growing hoards wil lbe hilarious once i have a build that cna blow stuff up instead of be tanky bossing
in the spreedsheet your harvest section video imbed leads to the harbinger video and I think the atlas passive tree link is old because its not using seventh gate unless that's suppose to be the one using the sextant
The only quest I really have, is... How profitable is Harvest with the absolute bear minimum (aka only the atlas tree (minus growing hoards) No weird sextants, scarabs, 8+ mod crafts, etc.. Just alch 'n go? Is it profitable enough to obtain a Mirror of Kalandra within 4 months?
Tbh I have no idea, but I would not do that anyway. Sextants and gilded scarabs are mandatory in my opinion, you get so much value out of those. Also keep in mind that Lifeforce is more expensive in high bulk, and you will reach high bulk much later if you farm Harvest without investment.
Yep nothing changed, same eater altar+all harvest - 100% chance to spawn variant by sextant. Do map, click altar, go harvest last. Repeat. Shout out to best boy nico and his pact with energy. With this setup you can also Mining Byproducts and buy socet fossils. Oddly no +expedition, but +essencess, so no minmax, just "casual" expensive 4sextants + rolling maps.
I didn't test the new keystone Expedition yet, that said I included Essences because I feel like they are a lot of profit per hour and because (personal bias) I am not a great Expedition lover. Overall the strategy is pretty flexibile, so you can adapt for a lot of content that is sensitive to pack size increase. Although it could slow gameplay down, Blood-filled Ritual Vessels might become pretty juicy.
3.24 Update: I will soon release a new version of this video for Necropolis League. Afterwards I will cut some parts of the video to make this become a The Harvest "Basics" video
wandering path + growing hordes is just too greedy on packsize and sacrifice is too big. Both expedition and harvest have very powerfull notables and normally with wandering path you compensate for at least expedition sidet by throwing polished/gilded expedition scarabs as they have powerfull bonuses, but with both growing hordes and wandering path you can't. Wandering path without growing hordes should still be ok-ish, though somewhat weaker than growing hordes (as obvious investment vs no-investment option).
Great video. I like how you also show different ways to play the strategy compared to most other videos that show one with no variation. Have you tested red alters over blue ones? Asking because in my case I can't really do blue, 2 of the downsites that can roll brick my build.
I think I'm gonna go for this but swap for expedition, the new extreme archaeology makes it fast and i think expedition scales well aswell with pack size and item quantity
Yes, however remember that expedition has benefits a lot from scarabs, which we can't use. I prefer Essence because even if Expedition is more synergistic, Essence is just more profit/hour imo.
Excellent video, really making me excited to try farm Harvest. I've been applying the atlas passive points, but have noticed that the point that says "Your Maps have no chance to contain the Sacred Grove" is ticked. Is that because you force it to happen with the Charged Compass? If I can't afford to do that yet, is there an alternative? Or is it just a case of hoping for the Sacred Grove to be in my maps?
If you want to use the duplicate lifeforce compass you MUST force harvest somehow. You can do that with the Map Device or the Sextant. Imo sextant is better.
Interesting, thank you for this guide. What I'm missing though is how to make your own sextants with the desired mods. I guess I should google that but it would have been nice to have all the info in one vid. Also you turned off getting harvest in maps in the Atlas tree, I take it you activate the harvest map option instead?
@@Exosta i thought that was the case when I saw you had it blocked in the tree. What I meant was if it’s possible to make the harvest sextant yourself without having to trade for it. I have never seen it drop as loot with the desired mods. Only as a bare sextant.
Hello ! Can you show an Atlas tree for the Harvest crops strategy ? I can only find your atlas tree without this keystone in your GDoc ! Thank's a lot :)
This is my (very) high budget Standard Build. If no Legacy stuff or other bias factors are involved, I test my strategies in Standard, since it's so much faster to do there. I always base my videos on League prices to evaluate profitability! You can achieve similar enough results with a very high budget MF Build in league. That said Harvest is not affected by MF so nothing changes result-wise, build is irrelevant for the video. I covered the build in a video before: th-cam.com/video/5c-yzhX7xi4/w-d-xo.html There have been a few updates meanwhile, and full completly updated and very indepth written buide can be found in my MF Academy Strategy Guide: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12f_dlb9ezlKR1PlB_v0IVZaaqnwPKHNObLy2PTHsHTQ/edit#gid=1562541767&range=A1
I want to use this atlas, but also seventh gate too, so I can go for ambush and strongboxes from map device. any ideas for a modified version? ( I don't care about essences but I do like harvest and delve)
Thanks for the guide. I have one question, why do you remove chances to spawn Sacred Grove in the atlas tree? Are you supposed to only spawn it with sextants? As for me I just run maps and hope to get the grove, which happens quite often, since I blocked a lot of encounters I do not want. Thanks!
This isn't a bad strategy for per map profits but it's very bad for profits per hour. Losing 1 map of sextants is -30 40 50 chaos whatever it is but it's upwards of 5 to 15 mins of no profits depending on run speeds
Hello, nice guide, i have a question i want to go for the harvest keystone, so as sextant i should get sacred grove blue plant purple plant and the last one is up to me? So it get double duplicate ?
I'm not really understanding the point of rolling maps to 6 mods before vaaling. I did this when rolling a batch of 100 maps, I ended up torching roughly 800 scours and 900 alchs doing it. Sustaining this kind of bubblegum is impossible with this strategy, leaving either buying more scours/alchs/vaals or just killing raw chaos. I assumed the point of it was so that if the packsize is large enough before vaaling into an unid'd map, you would be able to hit 100% packsize with the packsize sextant + 4 gilded scarabs. My testing has proven this otherwise. It seems very difficult to hit 100% packsize without going Grand Design, if you're not hitting that breakpoint I don't see the difference in using this strategy with just polished scarabs. The scarab sextant is cheap and sustains most of my gilded scarabs anyways, so I'm just trusting the process. I'd rather just roll the maps to 20% packsize before vaaling, and only running the unids + 8-mods. The result and returns have seemed practically the same, and I've tested both methods over 100 maps. Either way regardless of how wasteful you can be rolling maps/using currency, it seems to be profitable regardless, so it's kind of fool proof even for players who are unfamiliar with juicing strategies. Thanks for the video, it's funded my first character build and probably my next one too.
It's not too important to have 6 modifiers, you can totally play with 5 and then Vaal. Just don't vaal 4 modded maps imo, those are too bad. Also you don't need to hit 100 pack size, in fact that's pretty hard.
@@Exostai test it both 2 round with wandering path and regular harvest setup, in 1 wandering round i got around 13k wild lifeforce, it seems have a high roof. Regular setup is more consistently with 10k, though
You should always reduce the lifeforce color you don't want to farm. So if you farm yellow, reduce purple and blue; if you farm blue, reduce purple and yellow and so on
i had 2 unique seeds in the same field. meaning both fields had a unique, and i could open both xD. thats why i was looking for a video to see if it could get even more efficient.
Hi, can i get the atlas skill tree link please. its hard to see exactly what nodes you have picked. a link to the entire skill tree image would be great
i have taken shaping the skies, sharping the mountains and shaping the world but i rarely get a map, i followed your atlas tree from the spreadsheet, plus whats do you choose in the map devise woth no seventh gate? if u are choosing seventh gate, u need to update your spreadsheet attals tree
Probably you must clear the map a bit more! Choose dense layout, I personally go for Bazaar which has one of the highest mob counts in the game@@nikolaosdrakos3413
Hi Exosta, i noticed you said that the profit per hour is only based on the lifeforce. What is the total profit per hour for this strat? is there a place where we can see this?
when i runing crimson temple jucied ( gilded sextants, 90+ pack size ) i got only few ( or even none at all ) eaters altars. how to fix that ? some mechanics are blocks eater eater mobs spawning in such small map like crimson?
Tbh Altar spawning is very RNG dependent. Sometimes you get 10, sometimes 3. It's random really. Don't think too much about it. Just make sure to reach the Boss at the start of the Map to optimize your chance to get blue altars with Quant.
Im slightly confused, In your atlas strategy you dont have the Seventh Gate allocated, but you recommend forcing it with the map device? how is this possible
Maybe I did not explain this part well. If you want to play Essence it is highly desireble to use the Essence Map Device Crafting option, so you force Harvest with the sextant. Instead, if you are not interested in Essences or the Harvest sextant is simply too expensive go for Seventh Gate and use the Harvest crafting option.
@@Exosta thanks that makes sense. I tried making an atlas strategy that incorporates the 7 gates, but it's awkward to allocate them based on where I want to be on the tree for harvest, is there a tree you recommend for this? I also ran 100 maps without the harvest sextant with all the harvest chance allocated and got harvest 78 times (blocking almost all mechanics). Do you think it could be more profitable to not force harvest with either? as they are roughly 45c each
Can this be done with a lower invest strat? With only increased magic pack size compasses + scarabs + own crafted maps? Do I still use the same atlas tree then? Or do I need to buy the sacred grove compasses to guarantee harvest in my maps?
@@Exosta Thank you for the quick reply! Im new to juicing maps so its quite overwhelming for me. Which compasses should I buy, all four that you showed in the video? I buy them from TFT I presume, its just hard to know which ones are the right ones.
You can start without the lifeforce duplicate sextant, and then when you gathered enough raw divines add the sextant. Never do a strategy you can barely afford, or you will get demolished by negative rng sequences.
The most important part imo is having a tanky enough build against dot, which also moves very fast, so yeah RF could do it with appropriate investment in movement speed
I didnt say very good, i said pretty good, which means decent. However, the profit becomes very good if you add the essence part of the strategy (about 9 div hour in total). Harvest has very few investment and when you farm that you always farm it in combination with something else. I also didnt put any drop other than lifeforce in that 2.7 div/hour. For example i got 3 divine altars that made me 50 divines, didnt add that to the loot table.
Correct me if I misunderstood, but i use, for exemple, 1 sextant for crop (any color) + 1 sextant to grant the sacred grove + the other 2 sextantes (faster method or slower method) + scarabs?
Imo it's bad, because once you get to like 80 90 pack size further increases have diminishing returns, insead the small passivrs for harvest are very goof

Can anyone suggest alternative to hexblast build? I'm really new and have no idea what should I be doing, but I remember hexblast was so fun to use a year ago. It was nerfed and I stopped playing completely, but I still miss it
Hexblast mines is extremely powerful and meta this league, if you like the skill it's still very strong when played this way, you basically just need a blasphemy curse/profane proxy and a curse on hit ring/glove to make it work and it scales very well
@@m0ddedaccount hexblast mines? I wonder why is using mines is stronger that just using a skill? I will look for the guide, thank you very much! Although I was playing with ignite from it and not the hexblast itself
Hexblast is still very strong. Your info about it being bad now is so wrong it's funny. Although if you liked hexblast you should also like impending doom. It's a very meta skill that is already slated to get nerfed next league. Abuse it while you can if you want a good build for clearing the entire screen.

Hm, good work, thanks for that
Interesting, thank you for this guide. What I'm missing though is how to make your own sextants with the desired mods. I guess I should google that but it would have been nice to have all the info in one vid.
Also you turned off getting harvest in maps in the Atlas tree, I take it you activate the harvest map option instead?
The Extra Content Notables do not prevent a content from spawning if you force it with Sextant or Map Device, as we do with Harvest!
@@Exosta i thought that was the case when I saw you had it blocked in the tree. What I meant was if it’s possible to make the harvest sextant yourself without having to trade for it. I have never seen it drop as loot with the desired mods. Only as a bare sextant.
You just can farm and resell compasses and you keep the harvest ones yeah@@Soei23
GREAT just great, thanks you so much!!
Nice vid im using this atlas is wandering path is bad to juice more ?
It is a no go, wandering is bad for harvest
Thanks for your sharing. What is 6 mod self-rolled?
You can either roll your maps with 5 modifiers or 6 modifiers. Minimum required is 5.
Hello ! Can you show an Atlas tree for the Harvest crops strategy ? I can only find your atlas tree without this keystone in your GDoc ! Thank's a lot :)
it's the same tree, just add the keystone
Hey, maybe I'm stupid/missing something but why not just run less yellow from tree and force yellow to show up with sextant?
Because the yellow sextant cost more
is there a link to the atlas for this guide? really appreciate you putting this together!
Check the MF Academy Strategy Guide page, link in the description!
Damn your TS build looks great. Any links?
This is my (very) high budget Standard Build. If no Legacy stuff or other bias factors are involved, I test my strategies in Standard, since it's so much faster to do there. I always base my videos on League prices to evaluate profitability!
You can achieve similar enough results with a very high budget MF Build in league. That said Harvest is not affected by MF so nothing changes result-wise, build is irrelevant for the video.
I covered the build in a video before: th-cam.com/video/5c-yzhX7xi4/w-d-xo.html
There have been a few updates meanwhile, and full completly updated and very indepth written buide can be found in my MF Academy Strategy Guide:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12f_dlb9ezlKR1PlB_v0IVZaaqnwPKHNObLy2PTHsHTQ/edit#gid=1562541767&range=A1
very useful, thank you very much!
I want to use this atlas, but also seventh gate too, so I can go for ambush and strongboxes from map device. any ideas for a modified version? ( I don't care about essences but I do like harvest and delve)
You can try Harvest + Expedition instead!
Thanks for the guide. I have one question, why do you remove chances to spawn Sacred Grove in the atlas tree? Are you supposed to only spawn it with sextants? As for me I just run maps and hope to get the grove, which happens quite often, since I blocked a lot of encounters I do not want. Thanks!
The problem is that the Lifeforce sextant can be pricey and so you lose some value if you go without forcing harvest!
This isn't a bad strategy for per map profits but it's very bad for profits per hour. Losing 1 map of sextants is -30 40 50 chaos whatever it is but it's upwards of 5 to 15 mins of no profits depending on run speeds
Hello, nice guide, i have a question i want to go for the harvest keystone, so as sextant i should get sacred grove blue plant purple plant and the last one is up to me? So it get double duplicate ?
you cant have both blue and purple sextant. just use blue + sacred grove. The rest is pretty flexible.
Hey there! Do you have a guide for the build you are using? Im using spark but my survivability is kinda bad, how much did you invest on that build?
I'm planning to release an entire video around it!
@@Exosta any prediction on the date?
I'm not really understanding the point of rolling maps to 6 mods before vaaling. I did this when rolling a batch of 100 maps, I ended up torching roughly 800 scours and 900 alchs doing it. Sustaining this kind of bubblegum is impossible with this strategy, leaving either buying more scours/alchs/vaals or just killing raw chaos. I assumed the point of it was so that if the packsize is large enough before vaaling into an unid'd map, you would be able to hit 100% packsize with the packsize sextant + 4 gilded scarabs. My testing has proven this otherwise. It seems very difficult to hit 100% packsize without going Grand Design, if you're not hitting that breakpoint I don't see the difference in using this strategy with just polished scarabs. The scarab sextant is cheap and sustains most of my gilded scarabs anyways, so I'm just trusting the process.
I'd rather just roll the maps to 20% packsize before vaaling, and only running the unids + 8-mods. The result and returns have seemed practically the same, and I've tested both methods over 100 maps. Either way regardless of how wasteful you can be rolling maps/using currency, it seems to be profitable regardless, so it's kind of fool proof even for players who are unfamiliar with juicing strategies. Thanks for the video, it's funded my first character build and probably my next one too.
It's not too important to have 6 modifiers, you can totally play with 5 and then Vaal. Just don't vaal 4 modded maps imo, those are too bad. Also you don't need to hit 100 pack size, in fact that's pretty hard.
Hey, also new to POE - why is his taking the Blacked Thumb Note, which means no Sacred Grove can spawn? cheers
When you force Harvest with sextants the Blacked Thumb doesn't prevent Harvest from spawning
Hi, may I ask do you meant to use both purple and blue sextant in one go or just pick one of them ? Thanks
You can only use one Lifeforce sextant, only one can apply at once!
with the yellow plant sextant do you recommend wandering path or regular crop rotation?
Wandering Path is always bad with Harvest. Never use it.
@@Exostai test it both 2 round with wandering path and regular harvest setup, in 1 wandering round i got around 13k wild lifeforce, it seems have a high roof. Regular setup is more consistently with 10k, though
What's your sample size? I tried this extensively and Wandering Path was much worse for me.@@user-cy6qh4pv9y
Would you go with Yellow plant reduction if you are not running the Purple/Blue Sextants? Thanks!
You should always reduce the lifeforce color you don't want to farm. So if you farm yellow, reduce purple and blue; if you farm blue, reduce purple and yellow and so on
Alright, i thought it was reversed if you were not using Compasses. Thanks!@@Exosta
Hi, "Can I ask why you activated "Black Thump," as it seems to prevent "The Sacred Grove" from appearing on your maps?
When you force any league mechanic via sextants or scarabs the extra content notables don't prevent the content from spawning.
i had 2 unique seeds in the same field. meaning both fields had a unique, and i could open both xD.
thats why i was looking for a video to see if it could get even more efficient.
Hi, can i get the atlas skill tree link please. its hard to see exactly what nodes you have picked. a link to the entire skill tree image would be great
Check MF Academy Strategy Guide
Do I need to allocate heart of the Grove if I have crop rotation, or is it pretty much useless to allocate it?
It is still mandatory, since we get 10% chance for the not chosen crop to not wilt!
Hi, great guide, how to you sustain maps?
Singular Focus keystone + Shaping Passive Notable on the Atlas Passive Tree!
@@Exosta ok, and u favor crimson temple only?
i have taken shaping the skies, sharping the mountains and shaping the world but i rarely get a map, i followed your atlas tree from the spreadsheet, plus whats do you choose in the map devise woth no seventh gate? if u are choosing seventh gate, u need to update your spreadsheet attals tree
Probably you must clear the map a bit more! Choose dense layout, I personally go for Bazaar which has one of the highest mob counts in the game@@nikolaosdrakos3413
nice. does the affliction juice work on harvest?
skip, it makes it harder and doesn't improve the loot as far as i know
Agreed!
Hi Exosta, i noticed you said that the profit per hour is only based on the lifeforce. What is the total profit per hour for this strat? is there a place where we can see this?
I didnt make the math for the total, but briefly it should be the harvest profit hour + essence profti hour, check the mf academy strategy guide
@@Exosta yes but the 2.7 you have put in excel. Is that only from lifeforce or does that include essences + general map drops aswell?
Great vid! Any link to the atlas passive tree? Probably in the sheet but can't find. Thx
It's indeed in the sheet. poeplanner.com/a/8WJ
when i runing crimson temple jucied ( gilded sextants, 90+ pack size ) i got only few ( or even none at all ) eaters altars. how to fix that ? some mechanics are blocks eater eater mobs spawning in such small map like crimson?
Tbh Altar spawning is very RNG dependent. Sometimes you get 10, sometimes 3. It's random really. Don't think too much about it. Just make sure to reach the Boss at the start of the Map to optimize your chance to get blue altars with Quant.
You sound like asmo 😊
Hi. How can i sustain a specific map? Example Atoll T16 or Beach T16?
Simply put it as Favorite 12 times, take the Shaping notables on the Atlas Passive Tree and Singular Focus keystone
Is this till a viable strat for Affliction league? Thanks for the vid!
Absolutely, nothing changed in regard to Harvest!
Awesome, cant wait to try this! Thanks! @@Exosta
Hi, how your poe screen on theatre mode? Which settings do u have
I just have a 21:9 ultrawide screen
You can corrupt your maps safely with beasts
That's true; however it is a bit slow to do imo, some people might find it boring.
Im slightly confused, In your atlas strategy you dont have the Seventh Gate allocated, but you recommend forcing it with the map device? how is this possible
Maybe I did not explain this part well. If you want to play Essence it is highly desireble to use the Essence Map Device Crafting option, so you force Harvest with the sextant. Instead, if you are not interested in Essences or the Harvest sextant is simply too expensive go for Seventh Gate and use the Harvest crafting option.
@@Exosta thanks that makes sense. I tried making an atlas strategy that incorporates the 7 gates, but it's awkward to allocate them based on where I want to be on the tree for harvest, is there a tree you recommend for this? I also ran 100 maps without the harvest sextant with all the harvest chance allocated and got harvest 78 times (blocking almost all mechanics). Do you think it could be more profitable to not force harvest with either? as they are roughly 45c each
harvest is back? 😳
No
what scarabs are you using btw? :)
The cheapest I can find on market, which ones are irrelevant, since we use Growing Hordes
Can this be done with a lower invest strat? With only increased magic pack size compasses + scarabs + own crafted maps? Do I still use the same atlas tree then? Or do I need to buy the sacred grove compasses to guarantee harvest in my maps?
You totally can, even though I think is kinda suboptimal.
@@Exosta Thank you for the quick reply! Im new to juicing maps so its quite overwhelming for me. Which compasses should I buy, all four that you showed in the video? I buy them from TFT I presume, its just hard to know which ones are the right ones.
Should i run this strat if i cant afford the sextants?
You can start without the lifeforce duplicate sextant, and then when you gathered enough raw divines add the sextant. Never do a strategy you can barely afford, or you will get demolished by negative rng sequences.
What builds are good at expedition and harvest?
I'm running pohx's inqui RF, and it works wonders for both
The most important part imo is having a tanky enough build against dot, which also moves very fast, so yeah RF could do it with appropriate investment in movement speed
Dude how do you use your guide in the docs? I'm from Brazil so I can't translate
There are no actual plans to translate the guide, however this might change in the future if I find some collaborators willing to do the job.
where can i find the full atlas skill picture so i can follow it exactly?
Check the MF Academy Strategy Guide page, link in the description!
thank you so much :D@@Exosta
Harvest is not available for the map device. how to guarantee 100% grove?
I use Sextants, however you can go for the Seventh Gateway Keystone and always unlock the Map Device Mod for Harvest in any League
dont take me wrong,
but did u say thay 2.7d/h is very good profit?
I didnt say very good, i said pretty good, which means decent. However, the profit becomes very good if you add the essence part of the strategy (about 9 div hour in total). Harvest has very few investment and when you farm that you always farm it in combination with something else. I also didnt put any drop other than lifeforce in that 2.7 div/hour. For example i got 3 divine altars that made me 50 divines, didnt add that to the loot table.
can't run the strat anymore, those sextants prices are unheticals ??
To date, the strat is still really profitable, check the MF Academy Strategy Guide for details.
Correct me if I misunderstood, but i use, for exemple, 1 sextant for crop (any color) + 1 sextant to grant the sacred grove + the other 2 sextantes (faster method or slower method) + scarabs?
Pretty much it, yes.
Ok, thanks bro :)@@Exosta
Why do you block Harvest with Black Thumb?
You are forcing Harvest anyway, so you can allocate that for free
Fun detected. GGG Fun Police is on the way to the dev team :D. Await patch next week.
Tbh I feel like Harvest is in a decent place right now, I would be surprised to see an other nerf
How about grand design ? It's insane for harvest
Imo it's bad, because once you get to like 80 90 pack size further increases have diminishing returns, insead the small passivrs for harvest are very goof
@@Exosta thanks for you reply!
What do you think about Wandering Path with Harvest farming ?
That's just bad in my opinion. I tried it and add extremely bad results. The issue I see here is that Harvest Notables are just so powerful!
Is there anyway to garante a harvest in ur map or its just luck ?
Sextant or Map Device Crafting option, unlocked with The Seventh Gate
Does + Quantity on gear affect harvest?
No
Do you have POB of your build?
This is my (very) high budget Standard Build. If no Legacy stuff or other bias factors are involved, I test my strategies in Standard, since it's so much faster to do there. I always base my videos on League prices to evaluate profitability!

Can anyone suggest alternative to hexblast build? I'm really new and have no idea what should I be doing, but I remember hexblast was so fun to use a year ago. It was nerfed and I stopped playing completely, but I still miss it
Hexblast mines is extremely powerful and meta this league, if you like the skill it's still very strong when played this way, you basically just need a blasphemy curse/profane proxy and a curse on hit ring/glove to make it work and it scales very well
@@m0ddedaccount hexblast mines? I wonder why is using mines is stronger that just using a skill? I will look for the guide, thank you very much!
Although I was playing with ignite from it and not the hexblast itself
Palsteron has a hexblast mines build and streams alot on twitch😂
@@pops6336 😂😂😂
who?
Hexblast is still very strong. Your info about it being bad now is so wrong it's funny.
Although if you liked hexblast you should also like impending doom. It's a very meta skill that is already slated to get nerfed next league. Abuse it while you can if you want a good build for clearing the entire screen.
