Abyss

• Exp

Difficulty: Easy

Initial cost: Medium / High when min maxed

Upkeep: Low Maps + Abyss scarabs

Idol Setup components: CPS TPS KPS ETC

What is the strat about: Farming exp quickly and easily. Can be done on any map tier and any map difficulty. Running the maps rare or corrupted does not add a lot of exp.

Expected return: EXP

Additional info: Idol Planner

• Corrupted Jewels

Difficulty:

Initial cost: Medium (High when explicit modifier mods are added)

Upkeep:

Idol Setup components: 4C1P1S 15M0P1S 1 Eldritch Gaze

What is the strat about: Farming corrupted abyss jewels. It is highly advised to use the caster mastery to open hordes as you will encounter hundreds of them.

Expected return: Tons of corrupted 5-6 mod jewels to sell over time

Additional info: Titanic scarabs can be very hard in t17. If your build is not capable of those, pick 2 other scarabs for packsize, rare monsters, map drops, or something else you like.

T16 is very good for farming t17 maps in addition

T17 drops better jewels, more gold, and well t17 stuff

You will drop tons of jewels, so prepare dumb tabs for them. You can not look at them all realistically.

Can be combined with exarch farming with exarch packsize on minor idols.

Add chance to drop higher tier maps for more t16/17 maps

Idol Setup

• Abyssal Depths

Difficulty: Medium

Initial cost: Low

Upkeep: Low

Idol Setup components:

What is the strat about: Farming Abyss Bosses

Expected return: Low this late into the league.

Additional info: Not worth it at this point of the league so no further additions

· T17 Belts (Supplementing any abyss strat at t17 with high value belts)

· Minor Idol rarity stacking ?? (Rarity mod does not exist)

Incursion

· Locus/Doryanis

Difficulty: Easy

Initial cost: Low

Upkeep: Maps only

Idol Setup components: 2C0P1S 2-3T0P1S

What is the strat about: Hunt for corruption chamber (Locus of corruption) and gemcutter's workshop (Doryani's Institute)

Always kill the residental architect on not fitting rooms to upgrade them to tier 3. This removes the room from appearing in future incursions and increases your odds of a good temple highly

Use the scarab of timelines, when the corruption chamber is present and connected to your temple at any tier While using the scarab take out the four incursion conqueror idol. This way you are getting more temples out of your layout.

Expected return: 0.5-1 Double corruption/ gem corruption temples per map

Additional info:

1 Conqueror for four incursions 1 Conqueror for tiers on killing residental architect to transfer to surviving architect. Do NOT combine these into one Idol

2-3x upgrade tier of surviving architect (100% total)

Fill the remaining slots with any of your liking Either get 100% chance to spawn alva on idols or use the incursion scarab

Can be combined with other idol strats that dont need a lot of idols or only one mod like trial of ascendancy hunting. Can be done on any map tier

Breach

· Flawless Stone farm (Not good)

Delirium

· Minor Idol packsize progression stack

Difficulty: Medium (T3 Strand) and Hard (T16 Glacier)

Initial cost: Expensive, 50c-100c per idols, 32 needed

Upkeep: The map, 2c worth of scarabs (2Mania, 1Beyond, 1Breach) and 5 deli orb of your choosing (8-9c per Diviner and 7c per Fine)

Idol Setup components: 32M1S or 31M1S and Singular Focus

What is the strat about: Run in, get 20 reward tiles and portal out.

Expected return: ~10d per hour

Additional info: some insight.

I do not recommend the strategy at the current market due to it being a medium return strategy while the idols cost are too high to justify setting it up.

I bought every of my idols while they are 30c each for 18%+ deli progress, due to other strategies using the same idol, they are now baseline 50c each and after a few scrolls down, ranging from 80c to 100c and you need 32-31 of them.

Currently there are 2 ways to go about running this strategy, you run fine or diviner and leave the map at 20 rewards, diviner will yield about 50c per map on the dot, while fine give a divine every now and then with bubblegums.

My build can clear these maps in ~2 minutes so expected profit is in 10d~ per hour range.

Run on T3 Strand is easiest and can run on T16 Glacier for Darker Half drop on Fine Deli Orb.

Scarabs used: 2 Mania, 1 Breach, 1 Beyond, and whatever, all of these I bought at 2:1c price range

T3 Strand you can run 5 Carto Deli Orbs and favourite Strand, and get like 30 in a single map, no need to buy them.

Here is a video on clearing the harder variant and the build I used: https://youtu.be/d8Fv50EUJlU

· Paranoia Farm

o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-rSKI4apo0

· T17 Cluster Jewel Farm

Delve

· Sulphite Farm (Yikes)

· Azurite Farm (Very low entry)

Difficulty: Easy

Initial cost: Low

Upkeep: Low (Maps only)

Idol Setup components: 4T1P1S 20M1S

What is the strat about: Farming azurite to buy resonators. You only run through the map and click the sulphite. Then leave.

Expected return: Lots of azurite to buy resonators

Additional info: Add some chance to contain Niko on the minor idols to guarantee him. If you want to sell them through Faustus you will need some other strat to farm gold.

• Idol Setup components: 4C0P2S 6K2P1S 2N2P1S

• What is the strat about: Boss rushing while bargain gambling

• Expected return: Shaper/Elder maps

• Additional info: I tested many different maps. The best seems to be tropical island. City square and mesa do work well too. You want to see as much of the map as possible with as little movement as possible. On the jun encounters you only press release except for the last option on each encounter where you either bargain for items or release. You do not want to generate any intelligence, have no rivalries, all level 3, no items on any of the members. This setup generates itself automatically after a couple of these maps.
