Description

The purpose of this farm is to put as many strong boxes on your maps as you can; taking all the atlas nodes for strong boxes will make them all rare and corrupted. Also, all maps, divination cards, and currency dropped from strong boxes are doubled. 

My gold per hour was with max mining camp, with out this you will make closer to 111k gold per hour

***REQUIRES 6 SLOT MAP DEVICE***

Scarabs

3x Ambush Scarabs, 10c each

1X Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments, 3c each

1x Ambush Scarab of Discernment, 20c each

Ambush on Map Device 4c each

Not including the map, which you can buy or farm yourself for free, and the map rolling

Cost per map: 57c

Map of choice, Jungle Valley is my first pick, followed by Dunes or Strand.

We are also running red alters. You can run blue alters as well, but my testing was done with red alters. 

The reason we run Jungle Valley is because the map boss does not spawn until you enter the arena. This makes it so on the red alters the boss option to choose does not show up giving you the minion option or the player option every single time a red alter spawns. 

WE DO NOT NEED TO KILL MAP BOSS. You will still get credit towards the 30 map completions for red alter progression simply by having them spawn on the map. You only need to kill the map boss on the 15th and 30th maps to get the Searing Maps to drop. 

Running your maps

You will put 1x ambush scarab in three different spots. So you have three separate slots with the ambush scarab in them. DO NOT PUT ALL AMBUSH SCARABS IN ONE STACK. Add your other two, followed by your map. Select Ambush on your map device and open. Run the map, opening all the strong boxes. And killing all adds. 

For your maps, I recommend regexing them and rolling off any bad mods.

Here is my regex as a spellcaster.

"o su|f el|ces|ech|, m|f l"

This removes both reflects, leaching, no health and mana regen, negative player max res, spell suppression, and a couple minor ones I prefer. 

You can also create your own RegEx here.
