I have played the game for over 10 years now but I'm glad to see your beginner friendly content again, I always prefer to link your videos to my friends that are still new to the game over other content creators which dont always seem to remember what it is like for beginners.

I did a lot of essence farming in strands/colonnades, alternating between both with singular focus, and bulk selling when I had 15D+ worth. This allowed me to gear up my character to do the same in T16, but with searing exarch influence added, delirium for deli orbs, and a few other things. I made hundreds of divines with that, and it's pretty fun corrupting a big stack of essence and getting hysterias and such. Great strat!

As someone who is about to buy a crap load of essences I'm very happy you dropped this video😊

I’ve been watching you play path of exile for years but never played myself. Just started to this league and this guide is super clutch

This is the best guide I ever watched as casual player. Non of that elite mirror ter builds killing maps in second and calling it beginner friendly strats... I love this man! And thank you !!

been reading Crystal Resonance wrong this whole time. Thought you couldn't hit them with a remnant of corruption as I thought that would lock them from being released. Was also thinking of looking up essence farming/selling a few days ago since Ziz talks about it alot and you ended up providing a great one. Been having a blast with your Arc build and even planning on trying pinnacle bosses I've never gotten around to fighting before.

Thanks, helpful video. I imagine it was on purpose you didn't mention TFT (perhaps complicated or controversial?), but it seems like using their bulk selling tool would really speed up the selling part of this strategy.

Did this strat earlier this week using a 119 point atlas tree. I blocked all league content and used my points to pick up strong boxes, shrines, and harpies. I skipped all bad boxes and non king harbies. I also whooped the 16 change awakened sextant and could pick it up for .4 to .6 div. I bulk bought good layout white maps at 4 to 6 chaos each. I have a pretty quick character with high single target damage, I even swapped my normal helm for a Gull and my boots for Seven League Steps and took the wildwood passive for 30 extra ms if no gems in boots. With all this I farmed a HH in one day. By far the fastest I've ever farmed one.

tx for the video, so just the "essence" when choosing the map and no scarabs right? tx again gonna try it

just as a small FYI. You can make way more money if you do bleached T16 Essneces + Searing Boss farming on something like City Square. Just rush to the boss, ignore everything but the Essences and go out, do it again. It took me around 2min to clear the map for that. Most of your profit will be Essences and the Invitation's by far so it's not worth increasing the time it takes to clear you maps by running them Magic or Rare as both the Essences and the Invitation Drops aren't affected by the Quant/Qual. You can also add the Shaper/Elder/Sirus map drop passives and later on, when you are strong enough, Delirium chance as well for even more profit. This is a lot more profitable then just normally running Essences

Hi ZiggyD. Your proposed atlas tree for minimal essence farming at 3:50 is not very efficient. You can get 7th gate and all of the Essence notables in only 47 atlas points (7 less than the on the tree you linked) by routing up the left side of the tree instead of the right side. Ber careful using Path Of Pathing to generate trees. It does a decent job of showing a path, but does not optimize correctly for multiple required nodes. Here's the code for the tree on the official Path of Exile website's atlas tree planner. I'd put in the exact link, but KZfaq tends to eat comments with links. AAAABgAALwOhB-EIGw6zFsQkyy3QNIg2EkGMQmhKDk38ZDBksmbGcStyy3bCecN7Cof7iG2RfZbNnbGf5aDBodGi3qSspsSxgrH7x7PHvc2o0STRTdO114XZkN9e3_jlj_Lo-toAAA==

Also, unlike other farming methods, you get your money very fast, and you can get it in divines, you dont need to convert chaos to divine later which is tedious. Other farming methods, like Simulacrum or Blight etc, you get all sort of items, which almost all you need price check, put on sale, and wait to be sold, and you get bunch of various items which is additional work- cuts profit per hour because you dont get your profit right alway. The only downside of essences is that you dont get big drops, if you only focus on essence monsters, and its low tier maps, i mean sometimes u will get random divine, but no like 3 passive voices or 3 passive mana reservation clusters in Simulacrum, or Tainted oils in Blight + random expensive divination card etc. Its steady profit, no risk from losing it there is no chance for not gaining more than invested at end of map. After you grind enough currency you can switch to some higher tier map strategy where if you juice maps well bigger items can drop. Also, dont know if he mentioned it in video, always convert essences into more expensive ones via Harvest bench, it will increase your profit with little investment, and you can't lose money, just buy blue harvest lifeforce.

I also like adding Harbingers to it. Takes some time, but also doesn't scale off of anything, and the occasional fractured shards feel well and sell well.

Essences are great to pair with Beasts. SInce you farm white maps, its also best place to farm Craicic Chimerals and Spooders, and the way of farming them is the same, You enter the map, you skip everything but red beasts you leave. So Essences and Beasts work great together, doubling your profit.

Another more advanced version you didnt mention is spamming the essence memory. I was buying them for 3div each and doubled my currency each time. Best to buy around 10 then blast them all and sell in bulk on a break. Made a headhunter in 2 days by just spamming the memory casually

Any plans on an updated video for the Arc trickster? Maybe gated at 50 & 100 div? Great build too btw

Best map layout ATM is T1 Glaciers. Open map all 4 essence mobs are right in front of you

If you are fully specced into essence strategy you get alot of 5+ essence monsters especially because of crystal lattice node (15% chance for +3 essence). Your priority should be to corrupt the monster with BOTH shrieking and screaming, that way if they do upgrade they become both deafening and shrieking and you retain the doubling bonus. And from those always prioritize the purple ones as mentioned. You will run short of remnants if you are not specced into it so be picky. If you are specced, you can spend those more liberally. And corrupting only shrieking is not that big a loss esp when you have too much remnants. You're essentially getting 3 shrieking (3 for 1 recipe) over 2.

awesome.

This might be a dumb question, but it looks like you have more inventory space than I do. You have an extra 5x4 section on the left, where you grab Essence of Corruption from. What is that? How do I get it?

G'Day Ziggy! Please also do a vid on Harvest. It's insane how much people pay for lifeforce. I am selling 1000 for 80c and they buy it like candy. Also on avarage 1 map drops around 1000 lifeforce. (1500 if you do 8mod or unidentifed map with 20% packsize sextant)

On the one hand, awesome stratagey for next league. On the other, i feels like the popularity of this vid will drop the market price significantly. Swings and roundabouts i suppose.

the tiers of essence is not better depending of the ennemis level ? in act at low level, the ennemis have small essences ; and i have the feeling that in map T16, in average, the essence tiers is better than in T1

The way i think of the listing prices to keep it straight is i think what fraction of a divine is this thing worth. If youre selling 10 essence for 1 div then each essence is 1/10th of a divine. So 1/10 is your pricing

You can add Alva and delirium and make very good money

Recently I tried essence farming. I was plesently supprised that it gives decent currency. The strategy is better for people who farm a lot and sell in bulk though as the prices can be multiple times better. On the other side, it felt much worse than other leagues I tried like: expedition, harvest, incursion, betrayal. You also reach your maximum value much faster. On the flip side incursion and betrayal requre sextants to get master on map, betrayal is also quite comolicated. Expedition requires scarabs and is quite hard and harvest.. that probably the easiest one. You need decent character, but not as powerfull as for expedition and you dont need any sectants, scarabs or map device craft.

Idk about essences cause you need the right ones to get those juicy divines. But i do love Blight. Took some time until i got there but eventually when i steppen on red maps i started gradually doing more and more divs. Currently making about 1 div per blighted map (about 5-10 min) and thats with excessive filtering of items

And so the algorithm works. You're welcome 🤭

Out of curiosity, how popular will this be? I just started Essence farming just before this video came out, and Im now worried the value of Essences will come down if more people start doing this.

What maps have you favorited on your atlas, if any?

Nice tyty 😅

Thanks ziggy, specced out of essence cause of this vid

I didnt listen to anything this man had to say. The first OST that plays sounds realy good, its so good, i wish it was the official PoE Login screen Music!

But ZiggyD, Reee!

Hahaha nice tab names.

5div/hr isn't much in a league where you can make 4x that much spamming normal tier red maps for exarch invitations (just run in, kill a few packs and leave after the boom), or 2-3x as much just sitting in your hideout rolling sextants. Pretty much anything is big currency for anybody this league. You could just alch and go maps, and with the right atlas tree you're making 5div/hr.

Meanwhile I just use poestack to sell all my essences at once.

12:05 unlucky mistake "low value screamings" "high value screamings" You also say shrieking, but t that's not what's on the screen and a beginner won't necessarily know of the top of their head which is which.

Essence prices about to drop significantly in 3, 2, 1...

Good for begginers, but you NEED the Essence tab. which makes this strat actually pay to win .

Why no views Ziggy?

I give this about a week tops before this isn't worth doing
