By Nancy G Fri Jan 09 2026 09:40:48 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

The Atziri's Temple in Path of Exile 2 is one of the most profitable and flexible endgame farming systems. Unlike mapping, which is influenced by RNG and monster density, the Temple gives you controlled, deterministic rewards based on how you build it. When optimized, it becomes one of the most consistent ways to generate PoE 2 currency, craft gear, and target-farm specific items.

 

This guide focuses on:

Let’s get into it.

1. Understanding How Temple Farming Works

The Temple is built by collecting Incursion encounters during maps. Each encounter lets you:

Once you complete enough incursions, you can run the full Temple.

The key is that your profit is determined before you ever enter the Temple. The run itself is just collecting the rewards.

This means the real gameplay loop is:

The more efficiently you can do steps 1–3, the more PoE 2 currency you make.

2. The Best Rooms for Profit (Tier List)

Here’s the real value breakdown — not the outdated lists from PoE1.

S‑Tier Rooms (Always Worth Building)

1) Corruption Chamber (Locus of Corruption)

This is the single most valuable room in the entire Temple.

Why it’s S-tier:

This room alone can turn a 10c item into a 50 div item.

2) Gemcutter’s Workshop (Doryani’s Institute)

This room is insane in PoE 2 because:

Perfect for farming:

3) Sacrificial Chamber (Apex of Ascension)

This room lets you:

In PoE 2, many uniques have powerful upgraded forms, making this room extremely profitable.

A‑Tier Rooms (Strong, Consistent Profit)

4) Strongbox Chamber (Hall of Locks)

Why it’s good:

5) Breach Chamber (House of the Others)

Still strong in PoE 2:

6) Harbinger Chamber (Court of Sealed Death)

Harbingers are excellent for:

B‑Tier Rooms (Situational but Useful)

7) Trap Workshop (Crucible of Flame)

Good for:

8) Armoury / Weapons Rooms

Useful if you’re crafting your own gear, but not top-tier for profit.

C‑Tier Rooms (Usually Skip)

These rooms don’t produce enough value to justify investing in them.

3. How to Build the Perfect Temple (Step-by-Step)

Here’s the optimal strategy for building high-value temples consistently.

Step 1: Always Prioritize Room Upgrades

A Tier 3 room is 10–20x more valuable than a Tier 1 room.

Your priority should always be:

If you see an architect who upgrades a valuable room, kill the other one immediately.

Step 2: Open Pathways Early

A room is worthless if you can’t reach it.

Tips:

A perfect temple has:

Step 4: Run Maps That Spawn Incursions Frequently

Examples:

These maps let you complete incursions quickly and chain temples efficiently.

4. How to Make the Most Currency from Temples

Here’s where the real profit comes from.

Strategy 1: Sell Completed Temples

Many players don’t want to build temples — they just want to run them.

You can sell:

These can sell for huge amounts of currency depending on the league economy.

Strategy 2: Double-Corrupt High-Value Items

This is the most profitable strategy in the game.

Targets include:

A single lucky hit can be worth dozens of divines.

Strategy 3: Farm Gems for Profit

With a Tier 3 Gemcutter’s Workshop, you can:

This is extremely consistent profit.

Strategy 4: Use Sacrificial Chamber for Upgraded Uniques

Some upgraded uniques are:

This room is a goldmine if you know which uniques to target.

5. Advanced Temple Farming Tips

These are the tricks that separate casual temple runners from high-end farmers.

Tip 1: Always Run Incursions with High Movement Speed

Incursions are timed. The faster you move, the more you kill, and the more control you have.

Use:

Tip 2: Use AoE Builds for Incursions

Incursions reward:

Good builds include:

Tip 3: Don’t Waste Time on Bad Temples

If your Temple ends up with:

Just run it quickly and move on.

Time is your most valuable resource.

Tip 4: Use Sextants and Scarabs to Boost Incursion Spawns

If you want to go full sweat mode:

This dramatically increases temple frequency.

Tip 5: Learn Which Uniques Are Worth Double-Corrupting

This changes every league, but generally:

These are your best targets.

6. Example of a Perfect Temple Layout

A perfect temple includes:

This Temple can easily produce multiple divines in a single run.

7. Final Thoughts — Why Temple Farming Is So Good

Temple farming is:

Unlike mapping, where RNG can ruin your session, temple farming gives you control. You decide which rooms to build, which items to corrupt, and how to structure your profit.

If you want a reliable endgame farming strategy that works in every league, the Atziri's Temple is one of the best systems in PoE 2.
