PoE 2 0.4 Best Currency Farm Atlas & Strategy

12/23/2025 10:05:01 AM

Divine farming in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4 has exploded thanks to ABS-style juicing strategies. On paper, these setups promise hundreds of Divines. In practice, most players copying popular guides are quietly losing a massive amount of value. In this PoE 2 0.4 currency farming guide, we'll break down the best ways to farm currencies.

Core Principle of PoE 2 0.4 Currency Farm

Before diving into tablets and Waystones, you need to understand the real goal of high-end juicing:

You are not farming more monsters — you are farming higher monster levels.

Higher area levels directly affect:

Item level 82+ base drops
Rare lineage support gem frequency
High-tier currency odds
Boss-exclusive uniques (Golden Passage, etc.)

If your map is level 78 instead of 79–80, you are mathematically losing value, even if your screen is full of monsters. This is where most players get baited.

PoE 2 0.4 Waystone Strategy (What to Run, What to Sell)

Option 1 – Omen of Kotic Rarity (Sell, Don’t Run)

Omen of Kotic Rarity Waystones with 50%+ item rarity are currently expensive (often 60+ Exalted Orbs).

Running them solo is inefficient
Selling them immediately is more profitable
Reinvest into cheaper juiced stones instead

Unless you’re group farming or stacking extreme multipliers, these are trade items, not play items.

Option 2 – The Best Waystones to Actually Run

The strongest Waystones for solo Divine farming are Rare monsters have 1 additional modifier. These:

Sell easily (50–70 Exalted Orbs)
Scale absurdly well with ABS mechanics
Are worth fully juicing yourself

Crafting Process

Alchemy Orb all Waystones (cheap and efficient). Add Exalted Orbs selectively. Aim for 50%+ item rarity (60% is ideal).

Corruption logic:

Tier 16 upgrades

Surprise rarity spikes

Sale value (T16 stones sell for 20–25 Ex)

Do NOT corrupt 60%+ rarity stones

Corrupt lower-rarity stones for. This saves Vaal Orbs while maximizing upside.

POE 2 0.4 Tablet Crafting

Mandatory Modifier

You are always looking for increased difficulty and rewards for each closed Abyss. This is the backbone of ABS farming.

Best Crafting Method (Low Cost)

Instead of Alchemy spamming: use Transmutation + Augmentation, roll until you hit the Abyss difficulty mod or only then Regal or Exalt. This drastically reduces wasted currency.

Prefix Trap: Gold Is Bad

One major mistake players make is over-crafting tablets. Gold-found prefixes reduce overall drop value. If a tablet has 1 prefix + 2 suffixes → STOP. Exalting into gold lowers Divine/hour significantly. A clean 3-suffix tablet with:

Increased effectiveness
Additional Abyss modifiers
Difficulty & reward scaling

…is already extremely valuable (often 4–5 Divines).

The Big Mistake: Overseer Precursor Tablets

This is where most ABS guides fall apart. Many players use Overseer Precursor Tablets, believing they turn map bosses into powerful bosses or activate Atlas passives that grant.

+1 monster level
Corruption chance

They do not.

What Actually Happens

Tier 14 map → monster level 78. Adding Overseer tablet → still 78. Atlas “powerful map boss” bonuses do not apply. The game only checks native powerful map bosses, not artificially empowered ones. This behavior existed in previous patches and still applies in 0.4.

The Correct Fix: Irradiated Tablets

If your goal is higher monster level (and it should be), then:

Use Irradiated Tablets

Non-irradiated T14 → Level 78
Irradiated → Level 79
T15/T16 + Irradiated → Best possible drop tier

Important Interaction

If a map already has a powerful boss, irradiated will not push it to 80. You can’t stack both effects. This makes Overseer tablets redundant for farming purposes.

PoE 2 0.4 Currency Farm Atlas Tree Optimization (Post-Fix)

Once you remove Overseer tablets, your Atlas tree improves immediately.

Nodes You Can Skip

Powerful map boss scaling. Forced corruption chance (optional).

What to Add Instead

Path of Exile 2 Item rarity from map bosses. Strongboxes (especially Researcher). Essence scaling (very consistent profit). Extra content density. This setup improves raw currency flow. Increases boss-exclusive drops. Reduces clear-time variance.
