Description

Setup

3× Ambush Scarab
1× Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments
1× Ambush Scarab of Discernment
Ambush Map Craft

Mapping

Run full Shaper map sets with the Maven witnessing them.
Roll each map to 70%+ Item Quantity and 20% quality.

After completing the full witnessed set, you’ll earn a Maven’s Invitation: The Formed.
Roll the invitation to at least 60% quant — more is always better.

Bonus:
After the map set and invitation, you can also run the Shaper fragment set for additional currency and loot.

Difficulty & Tips

This farm isn’t mechanically difficult, but the bosses can get hectic due to the “Thorough Exploration” Atlas Keystone, which infuses Whisps to:

The map boss
Additional bosses spawned through Destructive Play

This dramatically increases their damage and tankiness.
Make sure your build can either:

Burst the bosses quickly, or
Tank heavy hits while you clear them safely.

Be sure before fighting the map boss there are less than 50 mobs left on the map. Should be easy as we are clearing the map with strong boxes.

I got many Tinks to drop including 2x Brother’s Gift (10 divine value) I did not include this in the total profit of the farm.
