In PoE 3.27, community tester BawLoch ran a rigorous 50-map sample and surfaced a mapping plan that genuinely scales PoE Currency. The mixed Apostles + Eater of Worlds setup delivers standout results: ~0.98 T17 Fortress maps per run, profit >1 Divine per map, and it avoids pricey Blight or pure Kura "map-only" farming.
1) Strategy Pillars: Balance the Big Three
A great mapping plan must hit three marks:
♦ T17 sustain: close to 1 Fortress map per run
♦ Cost efficiency: ~50c invested, >1 Divine profit per map
♦ Mixed income: strong currency, scarabs, and divination cards—not just map drops
By weaving Apostles mechanics with Eater altar rewards, this route clears all three, making it one of the most complete profit plays of the league.
2) Setup: Low Cost, High Return Scarab Package
♦ Core scarabs
• Apostles (Polished/Gilded) Upgrade Scarab ×1
• Edict/Regency Scarab ×1
• Eater Scarab ×2
♦ Flex slot:
• Breach/Legion ("Magic Violence") Scarab (~20c): more scarabs/shards focus
• Shadows/Harbinger-style cheap option (~2c): better raw currency per cost
♦ Map prep
• Run Dunes or Underground Sea/Temple style layouts
• Roll "100% Increased Pack Size/Quantit" equivalents
• Use Eater on the map device
• Add Delirium Orbs/Essence of Delirium (≈9–10c)—fund via Stacked Decks to self-sustain
♦ Observed differences
• "Magic Violence" leans toward the scarabs/shards value.
• "Shadows" pushes raw currency and costs ~10% of the price—great ROI.
• Advanced: swap one Eater scarab for a second "Magic Violence" to chase density.
3) Atlas Tree: Specializes in Apostles and Map Value
♦ Key clusters
• Full Eater wheel: for altar frequency and shard payouts
• Beyond at 100% in your region; synergizes with map mods
• World-Eater altars: duplicate chance and quantity boosts
• Map mod effect to scale every reward line you're stacking
• Scarab nodes to amplify your "Magic Violence" slot when chosen
★ Note: Eater shards don't scale with quantity or pack size directly, so allocate points into other reward multipliers.
4) Gameplay Flow: Clear Patterns That Maximize Altars
♦ Two practical routes:
* Pre-clear: rush the map to spawn all altars, then resolve Eater progress and side mechanics in bulk. Best raw returns; higher execution bar.
* Inline clear: progress normally, clicking altars and Eater beacons as you go. Easier, slightly less optimal.
♦ Eater encounter priorities
* Standard Eater rifts: now buffed—worth completing
* AF (Advanced/Amplified) rifts: stronger than standard
* Hive rifts: only chase if a Fortress map hasn't dropped yet
Min-maxers looking for peak PoE Currency will prefer the pre-clear rhythm—the altar density really shines.
5) Profit Snapshot: Stable and Diversified
♦ 50-map sample
* 49 Fortress maps (≈98% drop rate)
* 64 "T16.5" maps (T16 maps with T17 modifiers)
* 84 Divines gross, 55 Divines net → ≈1.1 Divines per map
♦ Income mix
* Maps: ~40%
* Currency: ~30% (Eater shards, Divines, raw)
* Scarabs & Cards: ~30%
Delirium costs self-fund via Stacked Decks: ≈9c in, ~13.5c out on average—creating a positive loop.
6) Economic Accelerator: Why MmoGah Helps
To spin up quickly:
* Buy the starter PoE Currency to secure scarabs and map bases immediately.
* Skip early gearing—jump straight into a high-throughput KB Pursuit/Tracker mapping build.
* Spend time tuning routes, not grinding seed money.
With daily cadence, 200-250 Divines/day is achievable—one of the most consistent 3.27 income streams.
7) Meta Outlook: Higher Ceiling, Same Floor
3.27 pushed the ceiling:
* Buffs to Blight, "Magic Violence" scarabs, and Titan/altar nodes.
* Viable double Magic Violence variants.
But the floor for casual farming didn't move much, widening the gap between optimized and baseline strategies.
Conclusion
This Apostles-Eater hybrid embodies PoE's economic heart: mechanic synergy + tight optimization → outsized returns. Whether you stack every PoE Currency by hand or jump-start via a service like MmoGah, mastering this plan gives you a decisive edge in 3.27's economy. In Wraeclast, knowledge is the rarest currency—and this route lets you mint it at scale.
