Hard
Bold Undertakings
15 hours
Sample is 600 maps done in 15h
Got 2 t0's, but even not counting uniques mercs drop lots of raw div and high tier scarabs
Very good if you can manage 1 min per map around 20d/h + chances at mageblood/hh/ralakesh
Not worth at all imo if takes longer than 2-3min per map for you
Important: mercenaries are unaffected by ANYTHING, even eldritch altars for %duplicate DON'T work so don't waste your time for any juicing or altars and just semi-boss rush
Recent patch bug fixed altars not working on mercenaries, TAKE duplicate now, atlas tree is slightly changed
Less dexterity on atlas tree is for higher chance at ralakesh's boots, because mercs only wear uniques of their respected attributes and you need str+int merc for ralakesh's
Got 6 pairs so far and 1 lucky svalinn (we're still map rushing and I do half the maps/hour as full boss rush)
t0's and svalinn are excluded from profits, ralakeshes are here but listed as 1d each so kinda excluded too
you can take increased eldritch atlars instead of shrines, but i liked shrines more with ~10-15% more maps per hour: https://poeplanner.com/a/6gOu
map choice is Toxic Sewers (bottom left) or Haunted Mansion (top right), open layouts like beach or dunes can be good too if you have a very strong build
