There are various Affliction and Abyss strategies in Path of Exile, depending on your goals and resources. Here’s a breakdown to help you choose:
High-Tier Currency Farming:
Empowered Abyss Magic Find (Duo): Popularized by Zizaran and Steelmage, this strategy involves a dedicated support character applying Affliction Empowers with high item quantity buffs to rare Abyss monsters, then a Magic Find character clearing them for high-rolled uniques and divines. Requires specific builds, investment in scarabs, sextants, and atlas passives.
Affliction + Delirium + Harvest Rolling: This utilizes Affliction’s increased drops when monsters are affected by multiple mechanics. Run Delirium maps with Harvest orbs that spawn Delirium Delirium Orbs to boost loot further. Requires knowledge of Harvest crafting and investment in Delirium maps, but less gear specific than the first option.
General Currency Farming:
Easy Affliction Strategy: Beginner-friendly approach using cheap scarabs and atlas passives to boost Affliction’s effectiveness on any build. Focuses on high monster density and map completion for consistent returns.
Affliction + Expedition: Combine Affliction with Expedition encounters for additional loot explosions upon completing chests. Scales well with pack size and requires investment in both mechanics.
Abyss Focus:
Abyss Chasing (Abyss Depths): Prioritize atlas passives and scarabs that increase the depth and rewards of Abyss depths. Targets high-rolled abyssal unique jewels and requires knowledge of depth layouts.
Abyss Wandering Path: Focus on maximizing the number of Abysses encountered per map with Wandering Path atlas passives. Aims for overall currency and rare item drops from afflicted mobs.
