Introduction
Negative rarity farming in Path of Exile has been a staple since the very first league and remains strong as bases gain value and exceptionals become more abundant. This guide documents a community-tested approach to lowering rarity to increase the number and quality of drops, with emphasis on Abyssal zones and high pack-count maps. Core steps include scouting corrupted zones for a +1 modifier, irradiating with Visions of Paradise to enable two runs, and then pushing a T16 overrun map with maximum pack size. The overall aim is twofold: big exceptional drops at item level 82, and profitable selling or crafting of item level 82 white bases. The guide also covers practical breakpoints, safety tips, map crafting, and when to Overrun or skip overruns, to balance risk and reward. https://www.twitch.tv/mr9lives

TLDR: Run as much negative rarity as you can. Find a corrupted zone and mouse over until you see +1 zone. Use Visions of Paradise to irradiate so you can run it twice. Then run a T16 overrun map with as much pack size as possible.

This strategy pays out in two main ways:
1- Big exceptional drops at item level 82
2- Selling or crafting item level 82 with white bases

How it works
Negative Rarity downgrades the tier of your drops. If something would normally drop as magic, it instead becomes normal.
There are soft breakpoints, but many factors affect them. Rare and Unique enemies start with high base rarity (even higher this league), and every
modifier on them adds more rarity and quantity. Because of this, the exact number you need isn’t fixed.
A common breakpoint is around -50%. The gap between 0 ~ -50% rarity is usually worth about 30 ~ 40% more bases and exceptionals. You can farm
bases and exceptionals even at 0 or with positive rarity, but the deeper into negative you go, the more you get.
For exceptionals, the game first determines the item’s rarity, then rolls sockets and quality. This is why a negative rarity farmer almost never sees a
u nique exceptional, but will often get multiple normal exceptionals in a single map (I’ve had 7 drop in a map multiple times). With higher rarity you can
still get them, but the difference is roughly 30–40% more at -50%, and close to double at -100%.
Keep in mind that while you’re traveling to the next corrupted area, it’s safer to swap into positive rarity to avoid the disappointment of dropping
exceptionals below item level 82.

Tablet/Farm Setup
Watch the short video (47s long), seriously. Just watch it.

When to Overrun
Use Overruns on i82 maps if you can afford the break-even cost, since they’re expensive. Check the setup guide for details, and avoid the “worst maps” list as some can brick.
---
When to Not to Use Overruns
Skip Overruns if you’re low on currency. Sell them instead, and focus on running i82 maps with increased Monster% until you’re reliably profiting from farming and selling maps. (make sure you use a precursor/irradiated tablet to make the zone ilvl 82!)

Best Maps for Overruns
- Steppe, Wetlands, Cenotes, Canyon, Woodland, Bastille, Bloodwood, Steaming Springs, Willow
---
Decent Maps for Overruns
- Decay, Seepage, Crypt, Fortress, Savannah, Digsite, Spring, Flotsam, Grimhaven
- Penitentiary, Necropolis, Sump, Slick, Riverside, Channel, Sun Temple
- Marrow (can only spawn 16-22 pits)
---
Worst Maps for Overruns
- Mire, Forge, Ice Cave, Vaal City, Molten Vault, Lofty Peaks
---
How to craft optimal maps
1- Start with a 6-mod T15 map. Any mod will do.
2- Activate a Chaotic Quantity Omen
3- Reroll the map mods using a Chaos Orb
4- (Optional) Reroll again if you see “maximum player resist” and “-life regen,” which heavily impacts one of the top meta builds.
5- Activate Omen of Sinistral Necromancy.
6- Desecrate your map using Preserved Vertebrae
7- Add 3 Diluted liquid guilt(pink) to your map.
8- Activate Omen of Corruption & Corrupt your map
When you corrupt a map, it can:
- Downgrade to T14
- Stay the same tier & reroll or become 8-mod
- Upgrade to T16
If you hit a T16, activate an Omen of Abyssal Echoes and unveil. Do not use this for T14 or T15 maps.
What you’re looking for:
1- Area is overrun by the Abyssal
2- Abyssal Monsters grant (50–100)% increased Experience
3- Increased Monster % & Any modifiers that Increased Monster Pack Size. You can see the full list here.

Patience & Space
Running this strategy as a merchant or supplier requires patience and plenty of stash space. Profits often stack up and pay out later, especially during weekends when trading is most active.
If you’re short on stash or patience:
- Be more selective with which bases you keep
- Pivot into crafting the bases yourself
- Remember that good T1 blue magic mods can sell for multiple divs
