PoE Currency Guide – How to Farm PoE Currency?

Path of Exile offers multiple pathways to accumulate wealth, but consistent currency generation demands strategic planning and disciplined execution. While quick methods like item flipping and jewel trading provide immediate returns, sustainable income requires a well-defined approach that maintains viability throughout the league. This guide explores proven methodologies that deliver measurable results, helping you build the economic foundation needed for endgame content.

• Strategy Commitment – Select a primary farming method early and maintain consistency. Specializing in one approach—whether Heists, Sextant farming, or Temple runs—allows you to optimize your gear, Atlas passive tree, and gameplay patterns around specific objectives.

• Build Specialization – Tailor your character specifically for your chosen strategy. Boss farming necessitates maximum damage output, while mapping efficiency requires area coverage and movement speed.

Crimson Temple Farming

Strategic Approach – Optimize Crimson Temple maps using Corrupted, Beyond portal, and Strongbox modifiers. For maximum returns, utilize Divination, Abyss, and Reliquary scarabs to enhance loot quality and quantity systematically.

Modifier Optimization (Compasses) – Corrupted Compass forces unique monsters to drop corrupted items. Beyond modifiers provide 6% chance to spawn additional monsters and 25% chance for demon reinforcements. Strongbox compasses deliver 500% increased item quantity plus an additional Strongbox per map.

Scarab Selection – Divination Scarabs double card drops, Reliquary variants increase unique items by 150%, while Abyss scarabs add two extra Abysses and boost monster spawns by 50%.

Atlas Passive Tree Configuration –

1. Twice Tempted (grants additional Strongboxes)

2. Perpetual Search (provides 4% chance for Alva Missions)

3. Black Thumb (adds +2 chance to contain other content)

4. Incursion Item Quantity (boosts item drop quantity by 5%)

5. All three Beyond Demon Item Quantity clusters (increase item quantity from Demons by 8%)

6. Entire Item quantity ring (provides 1% increased item quantity)

7. Time Dilation (33% chance for all monsters to be magic with additional time gain from kills)

8. First Wave (25% chance for Harbingers to be replaced with Harbinger bosses)

9. All Strongbox nodes including Vault of Mysteries (duplicates Divination cards from Strongboxes), Concealed Logistics (duplicates maps in Strongboxes), Backup Cache (duplicates currency items in Strongboxes).

10. (Optional) Shadow of Hunder (30% increased chance to find Eater of Worlds).

11. (Optional) Rampant Growth (10% chance to duplicate Eldritch Ichor influenced by Eater of Worlds with monster packs having 2% chance to contain Touching Tentacle Mass).

12. Ominous Arrival (maps contain additional harbingers).

13. Underground Kingdom (1% Chance to contain Abyss per 2% increased pack size).

Build Recommendation – Accuracy Stacking Juggernaut excels here due to exceptional damage output and mobility. This build offers affordable entry costs with scalable gear progression as your currency reserves grow.

Profitability Analysis – A dedicated 5-hour farming session across 30 maps typically generates approximately 72 Exalted Orbs gross revenue. With investment costs around 36 exalts for map modifications, net profit reaches 36 exalts (7.2 exalts/hour). Additional revenue from Sentinel items, rare drops, Apothecaries, and Squires adds 12-15 exalts/hour additional profit.

Farming Heists

Core Methodology – Execute multiple Deception contracts systematically to acquire valuable gems, divination cards, and currency items. The operational flow involves: running Deception contracts > utilizing Rogue Markers to unveil unusual gem Blueprints > completing Unusual Gem maps for maximum profitability.

Execute numerous maps with time efficiency as the primary objective. After accumulating substantial quantities—typically 100+ maps—liquidate your inventory in bulk transactions for significant profit margins.

Rogue Team Development – Maximize rogue levels and equipment optimization. Rogues accelerate contract completion and increase loot acquisition. Prioritize rogue selection based on effectiveness:

Gear Optimization Strategy – Since this approach focuses exclusively on Gianna contracts, ensure she receives complete gear sets. Secondary team members require only basic equipment configurations.

Gianna Equipment – Her abilities reduce Blueprint reveal costs significantly. Essential gear includes: Precise Arrowhead, Foliate Broach (recommended universally), Whisper-woven cloak, Regicide Disguise Kit (critical for +1 level to all Heist Jobs).

Vinderi Priority – Second most valuable rogue after Gianna, providing 16% chance to duplicate Heist chest contents. Thaumetic Flashpower provides +1 level to Heist jobs and increased job speed).

Huck and Nenet represent lower priority selections. Reserve them for final roster spots when assembling teams for Blueprint operations. Remaining rogues function adequately based on specific operational requirements.

Blueprint Room Strategy – After contract modifications, utilize Gianna to reveal Blueprint wings. Subsequently visit Whakano to expose individual hidden chambers. Prioritize Divination card and currency rooms exclusively—other room types rarely justify the investment. Consult market data to identify high-value targets and unlock corresponding rooms accordingly.

Contract Execution Protocol – Access Adiyah, select your contract and rogue, choose Deception specialization and initiate mission. Within contracts, prioritize main objective rooms and loot all chests thoroughly. Secondary chests should only receive attention when time permits. Upon securing the primary objective, evacuate immediately—death results in complete inventory loss.

Grand Heist Operations – Return to Adiyah and select ‘Prepare a Grand Heist’. These advanced operations present greater challenges with correspondingly higher rewards. Upon entry, pre-select target rooms based on profitability analysis. Given the 4-5 Chaos Orbs investment per revealed room, exclusively visit chambers capable of returning this expenditure. Fossil, Currency, and Divination card rooms consistently deliver superior returns.

When accessing Agility Rooms, evaluate current market prices for skill gems. Items valued below 15 chaos rarely justify the time investment long-term. Complete gem acquisition and exit the heist immediately. Alternative rooms typically don’t warrant exploration—time efficiency favors repeating the process with different wings rather than exhaustive scavenging.

Entry Strategy – Initial heist operations require minimal investment since contracts remain inexpensive during league inception. Execute available contracts initially, then transition to Deception specialization once currency reserves permit.

Deception contracts cost 11-12 chaos each, representing excellent value since returns consistently exceed initial costs. With 40-80 chaos available, invest fully in Deception contracts, execute missions, and liquidate acquired assets for consistent profit. Repeat this cycle until accumulating sufficient capital for Blueprint operations. Blueprint execution costs 1-2 exalts with returns substantially outweighing the expenditure.

Optimal Build Configuration – Develop characters emphasizing movement velocity and survival capabilities. Damage output represents secondary consideration—the objective centers on rapid ingress, thorough looting, and safe egress. Righteous Fire Templar builds perform exceptionally well here, combining mobility with effective leveling progression.

Essential gear includes: Ahn’s Heritage, Beast Guardian, Corpse Coat, Pandemonium Caress, Legacy of Fury, Horror Star, and Plague Clasp. Flask selection should include: Quick Silver, Granite, Quartz, Ruby, and Divine Life variants.

Survival remains paramount—prioritize life regeneration, movement enhancement, and healing capabilities exclusively.

• Loot Filter Implementation – Configure advanced loot filters to automatically hide undesirable item bases, saving valuable inventory management time.

• Strategic Pricing – Avoid listing items below 5 chaos during league commencement. Once market stabilization occurs, minimum pricing should increase to 10 chaos consistently.

• Unique Item Optimization – Re-roll popular unique items to improve their attributes. Poorly rolled uniques rarely attract buyers, making vendor sales the optimal disposal method.

• Market Positioning – Consistently price items approximately 20% above official site valuations.

• Tab Organization – Implement price-marked tabs (5c, 10c, 15c, 20c). With limited tab availability, avoid listing low-value items entirely. For unsold inventory, systematically reduce pricing tiers.

• Vaal Orb Strategy – Apply Vaal Orbs to meta-relevant unique jewels. Successful corruption with ‘cannot be afflicted with corrupted blood’ or ‘cannot be silenced’ attributes increases value to 80 chaos – 1 exalt range.

• Abyssal Jewel Crafting – Consistently roll level 80+ Abyssal jewels. Decent modifiers frequently appear using minimal alteration and regal orbs. Always apply scouring orbs to rare jewels before modifier rolling initiation. These typically sell for approximately 25 chaos each.
