Dear Exiles, today I want to share Ronarray's Atlas farming Divine Orbs guide with you. The economy is developing pretty fast, so what to farm is a really blooming question. For multiple leagues, Ronarray has been doing Stack Decks farming videos since it was a very consistent and easy-to-do farm for a very long time.
I think in 3.28, Decks farming is better than ever. So, in this post, I will do a breakdown for both, very cheap and pretty easy to do, but solid basic strategy, which can make you a pretty decent profit without even using your brain at least a little, and more expensive but more profitable one as well providing you with all information that you will need as usual to farm it yourself.
About the Basic Farm Strat
Let's talk about the start of the strategy and the basic version of it. It's very simple. You will practically need to use the Divination Scarab of the Cloister. Those are limited to five, and you will need to use five of them for your maps.
Scarabs
It's very important to have exactly five Scarabs, not four. You will need to open all your map slots, so scarabs stack together pretty well, and provide more decks when you have more in your maps. For all variations of that strategy, we're always going to use five divination Scarabs of the cloister.
Costs
At the moment, that scarab is very cheap. You can practically get more than 100 for 1 divine. Or if you're paying with Chaos orbs, you can practically get one scarab per 1.82 Chaos. So if you're buying five scarabs, you will pay less than 10 chaos for entrance, which is absolutely amazing and very cheap compared to any other strategy. So just put all the scarabs of the cloister in, add your map, and go.
Tricks for More Profit
There are a few cool tricks that you can use to maximize the amount of stuff that you are dropping. And first of all is the map itself. I recommend running 8-mod maps, so reaching for higher quantity and higher pack size as well. Generally, you will drop some additional PoE currency during those maps. And if your build can handle it, I believe that running 8 mods is always better. I don't think that going for t16 and a half is worth it. So just 8 mods for normal t16. However, if your build can't run 8-mod at the moment, you can take a basic t16 map, add a few exalted orbs, and you will get a map with about 30% pack size and 75% quantity, which is going to be more than enough for the basic version of that farm.
Best Map Layouts
And in terms of maps, which you should use, there are practically a few options that are going to maximize the number of monsters spawning in your rituals. Because Rituals respawn the Deck monsters, and they drop Decks again.
Options:
1. Jungle Valley
2. Mesa
3. City Square
Atlas Tree for the Farm
Now let's talk about the atlas for the strategy. For the basic variation and the more expensive variation, the atlas is going to be the same. You will need to take all chances for Ritual right here and make sure that your maps contain Ritual Altars.

Expected Loot
I practically got 85 Stack Decks together with 24 Chaos, one Nightmare Map, which is around like 20 Chaos, two maps, and an orb of fusing plus a little bubblegum. Everything in total gave me around 1 Divine with 10C investment for scarabs. The absolute minimum for Decks should be ~60 Decks per map, and the absolute maximum is around ~100 Decks per map. The rest of the profit comes from the other drops, such as scarabs, bubblegum, and t17 maps.
Expensive Farm
Now let's talk about the more expensive version of the strategy, which can give you more than one divine currency per map. There are maps that have an area that contains an empowered Mirage, which covers the entire map. At the moment, such maps usually cost about 40 Chaos approximately. They're in demand, so sometimes it even goes higher, like 42 43. But it will be pretty easy to make that currency back from the Mirage because it's going to spawn a lot of additional monsters for us.
In that case, we will also be able to use a Templar Astrolabe because it will provide additional pack space for us. And we are already investing a lot, we can pretty much click it at the zone.
First, I will need to visit the memory vault for it. So, at the moment, Temporal Astrolabe can pretty much pay for itself pretty often if you get anything cool out of it. So, right here I have Reflecting Mist that I just got, and it cost like 11 divines. It's pretty much a gamble, but investing in it is not a horrible idea. So after that, we will need to take the map, make it like a six-mod perfectly as high quantity as you can, and getting a little more pack size would be pretty nice for it as well. With the same set of scarabs, the same altars, and the same map, we can practically go in.
When you join the map in the Mirage, you will be able to access the whole map, which is very good for stack deck farming. At the moment, you will also get more rituals. You can get up to four rituals in your full Mirage map, and your chances for reward from that Ritual are going to be higher as well.
Expensive Strat Profit
1. More than 40 Stack Decks
2. 40C map cost
Cheap or Expensive Better?
Mind the map prices, it could be better to run a cheap strat depending on the costs.
Farm all the Divines!
I hope this farming guide will help you farm more currency, especially since the cheap strategy at the moment is very good. Welcome to MmoGah to get more useful PoE builds and guides!
