Make sure you've completed the kingsmarch quests before hunting for svallin!
This is an extremely simple and easy white t16 strat. We're just rushing maps as fast as possible to spawn eagon memory tears while also opening heist caches and hunting for fallen craters for a chance at the svallin drop, we're also looking for black barya drops from the mob that ocassionaly spawns with the mirage (not in the mirage, you don't need to go in!)
If you don't have enough atlas passives you can drop some of the increased ore nodes as you'll get ore faster than your miners/smelters can handle them, or drop some of the map chance or scarab nodes.
Check the comment section of the linked youtube video for any questions/answers and I'll try respond.
I'd advise turning dialogue volume on, or you can easily miss the guy that drops the black barya invitation.
Changes since keepers
Eagon memory tear trails now drop itemisied, run all of the reverence ones that drop and sell the other two via Faustus
We now get an extra ore for each scarab we're using which brings the expected maps per starfall crater from 35 down to 20 due to the increased amount of verisium spawns which makes an expected svallin drop go from 1/700 to 1/400 maps.
Because of the Kingsmarch change we're now clicking every bismuth ore, it's not worth it to click any of the others. Per hour I've been averaging 30,000 bismuth ore, after being smelted into bars this is worth 1.5m in shipment value without dust. A 50m shipment averages 2.2 mirror shards not including any of the other loot like divines/tattoos, which means the value of this ore is 0.1 mirror shards/h after taking into account some cost for buying dust. Send your 50m shipment to a green karui port for tattoos, Te Onui gives dex tattoos, Moti Aro gives int tattoos, Ngakanu gives str tattoos, you can check which have the highest value tattoos before you send your shipment to min max it.
We don't use mirage in the normal maps as it slows us down, but about 50% of the time while doing eagons chain, the mirage area will include the final boss in the theatre of lies so we can often get a double echo of reverence drop.
Example video using Deadeye Cobra Lash
You can do this farm at 65 maps/h (45 of your own maps +20 eagon maps) as exampled here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EniNs_sVyIY
The build in the video is https://pobb.in/MLjkPk_cEnP2 this has around 15d invested into it.
You can alch your maps if you want for slightly more loot from the mobs that get killed when you're looting caches, as long as it doesn't slow you down, the name of the game is maps/h.
Profits note
The tattoos/Runegrafts/Currency shown here all comes from lost shipments, what is shown is the results from a 9 hour 400 map test.
Make sure to complete the heist questline contracts, it unlocks the ability to drop unique contracts, familial and vengeful are the only ones worth picking up so hide the others on your loot filter.
Running the maps
Best map is strand but any fast linear map will do, you scour and run these maps as fast as possible. You don't need to hunt into every unexplored area as the caches and craters will show on your map from multiple screens away, watch the video linked above for an example.
Skip targeting monsters specifically except the boss, should be clearing maps in under a minute. There's a one second delay between clicking a cache and the loot appearing, so just hold down your actual skill and blow up some packs while waiting for the loot to appear.
Skip all altars, it's not worth the time to look at them just go go go
Stop to open caches, pick up the contracts/blueprints/rogue markers
Only click on bismuth ores.
Only open the big lost shipment box when it spawns, don't open each small box.
You get 1 boss crater every 20ish maps and its 5-10% to drop svalinn
After a memory tear drops, clear the rest of the map and then start the memory chain if it's reverence, just rush the boss asap click whatever option, it doesn't matter and continue the chain.
Get a heist trinket with the mod "Smuggler's Caches have 10% chance to Duplicate contained Rogue's Markers".
Contracts/Blueprints
3/3 and 4/4 revealed blueprints are worth a lot more than the others, so after a mapping session search for 3/3 and 4/4 in the stash window and set these aside so you don't lump them in with your non reveal blueprints.
For contracts, only deception contracts and the familial/vengeful unique contracts are worth anything so when you're done farming, remove any deception contracts + unique contracts from your heist locker. You can vendor the remaining non deceptions 5 to 1 if you want to try and get more deception contracts, but it has to be 5 of the same type.
Bunker/Repository/Tunnels do not drop as deception, so you can hide these contract base types on your loot filter.
