1. Lists Of Ways To Earn MORE Gold

The Basics For Healthy Gold Income:

Early Game - Selling Unwanted Rares (If We No Longer Need To Disenchant Regal Orbs) Weapon Tends To Sell The MOST Gold - So To Min & Max, We Could Disenchant NON Weapons & Sell Weapons For A Balance Of Regal Shards & Gold Income (I Had 20+ Regal Orbs & 100k+ Gold At Level 40 Using This Method On Day 1 Of The Season)

Selling Uniques Is NOT Worth It, Better Disenchant For Chance Shards

_____

I've Heard Buying Rares From Expedition NPC & Selling It For Gold Also Works, But I Never Tried It Myself, I Skipped Expeditions While Mapping

____

Mid-Late Game - Selling Unwanted & Not Expensive Maps, Rare Maps Tend To Sell For MORE Gold, So Consider Using Orb Of Transmute + Orb Of Augmentation + Regal Orb On To A White/Blue Map (When Applicable), Or Simply Using Alchemy Orb On A White Map For 4 Mods, The MORE Mods, The MORE Gold Maps Sells For!

See Video Demonstration Of Gold Value Of White T 15 Vs T 15 3/4 Mods

We Could Also Use Omens Here For Both Rare Items & Rare Maps Vendor, See Part 2!

____

Buying Castaway Runs After Unlocking Endgame Atlas Mapping

Players Are Always Selling Runs For Gold & Exp As They Come Across Them In The Atlas Map Nodes

The MOST Effective Way To Buy/Sell Those Runs Is Joining A Big POE 2 Discord/Gaming Group/Guild, Messaging To WTS/WTB & Even Adding Consistent Seller/Buyers For A Quick 6/6 Man Party

E.g. In Game Trade Channels #1 #2 #820 (To Join A Trade Channel In Game: Press Enter To Open Chat Box, Right Click Onto Trade Channel To Enable Channel Swapping)

E.g. I'm Using TFT Discord (NON Official & Private POE 2 Discord Group) For My Runs, Here I'm Mainly Buying Runs, But My Friends Have Made 100-500+ Divines Selling Runs As Well!

See Video Guide On How To Buy/Sell Runs On Discords

Its VERY Profitable To Sell Gold Run

It Is Very Convenient For Me (Hideout Warrior/Exchange Trader) To Buy Gold In Large Amount Via Castaway Runs, Collecting 1m+ Gold Per 5-10 Mins

I am Paying Round 1 Divine Per 750,000+ Gold Here

For Castaway Sellers:

A Well Crafted Castaway Keystone (Pack Size + Deli) Plus Tower Gold % Can Easily Sell For 1-1.5 Divine Per Person, Earning 5-7.5 Divine Per Castaway Map!

Players With Overlapping Towers Sometimes Sells 2 Divine Per Runs (1.8m-2m Gold From 1 Map) Other Play For The Time Saved From Doing 1 Run Instead Of 2 Runs For That Much Gold

I've Had Friends Who Earned 100-200+ Divines A Day Just Mapping For Castaway, Deadly Boss (Lineage Gem Farming, See Guide Here)

Some Uses The Grand Project Unique Tablet For Even Faster Atlas Fog Clear And Pathing (See Trade Link)

So Learning The Castaway Methods Can Open Up To Lots Of Currency Earning Potentials If Done Correctly As Well

_______________

2. Omen Of Bartering & Gambling

Interesting Omens That Changes The Way Vendor Operates

Omen Of Bartering Randomize SELL Price Of Items - 1 Omen Is Consumed Per Usage/Sell See This Guide Video From Belton For A Live Demo

In This E.g. Belton's Maps Sold For 383K MORE GOLD By Using 54 Omens Of Bartering & Selling 54 Maps To The Vendor (Atm Each Omen Cost 4 Exalt, So Its 216 Exalt Investment + 54 Unwanted Maps)

Luckily Its Very Little Gold Fees In Buying Omen Of Bartering From The Exchange NPC ANGE Directly! 54 Omens = 6480 Gold In Fees

____

In Comparison To Omen Of Bartering, Castaway Runs Currently Earns Around 600k-700k Gold Per Divine Spent, It Is Also More Consistent & Doesn't Require Us To Sell Maps.

____

Omen Of Gambling - 50% Chance Gambling Cost 0 Gold & NOT Consume This Omen, Effectively Halving Gold Cost Of Gambling!

Its Around 6 Omen Of Gambling Per 1 Exalt In The Exchange Right Now, So Its Super Cheap & Accessible!

Note This Is A SAVING For Gambling With Gold, To Consistenly EARN Gold, Consider Using Omens Of Bartering From Above

___________

3. How To Juice Up Maps For 1.4m-2m Gold Castaway Runs

See The Suggested Atlas Setup Here In The Atlas Tree

__

Castaway Is a Random Unique Map Spawn In The Atlas, It Usually Comes With 500-999%+ MORE Gold In The Area & Only Drops Gold In The Map (Similarly There Is Also Untainted Paradise For Tons Of Experience Gain)

There Are 2 Simple Steps In Juicing/Preparing For A Great Castaway Run:

3.1 Crafting Pack Size + Delirium + Desecrate (Abyss Overrun Modes) Waystone.

Waystone Pack Size Crafting

Chaos + Omen Of Chaotic Quality (Replace ALL Mods On Waystone Into Pack Size Mods):

So 6 Mod A Rare T15 Map + Active Omen Of Chaotic Quality & Apply Chaos Orb

We Would Then Delirium/Anoint The Waystone With Pack Size Via Diluted Liquid Guilt Which Adds Even More Pack Size

_____

For Desecrate Mods: Apply The Above Process - Then Apply Preserved Vertebrae On To The 5/6 Mod Waystone (Make Sure The Order Is Chaos + Omen First, Then Des Mods After)

See Wiki Here For Full List Of POE 2 Desecrate Mods (Ctrl + F & Search For Pack Size)

In The Previous Demo Video We Had Increased Abyss Monster: Which Gave +12% Pack Size, There Are Other Des Mods That Grants 18-20%+ Pack Size Too! So Make Sure To Know/Check The List For Des Waystone Mods Before Picking Your 1/3!

Interesting To Note

The Desecrate Mods: Area is overrun by the Abyssal Seems To Be Giving Us MORE Gold, From More Monsters Spawning From The Abyss Pits Added To The Castaway Map!

E.g. 4x Tower Map Gave 2m Gold

2x Tower + Abyss Over Run Mod = 1.8m Gold

Important

Try To Have At Least 1 Revive On Waystones For Players, In case Of Accidenal Death From Over Juiced Maps (If A Player Dies In 0 Revive Maps, Its Over, They CANT NOT Earn Any More Gold)

________________

3. Gold Gain Tower Tablet Crafting

We Will Aim To Overlap Multiple Towers For The BEST Results, But Having Just 1 Tower In Range For Castaway Maps MASSIVELY Increase Our Total Gold Earn In A Castaway Run With Even 3x 15% Tablets Used

For ANY Tower:

Aim For 15% Gold Found In The Area Per Tablet Is KEY (See Trade Link 1 Exalt Each )

To Take It Further We Can Get Additional Pack Size Too, But Those Tablets Are WAY MORE Costly (Trade Link 90 ex To 1 Annu Orb Each)

Just Have 45% Gold Find Per Tower + The Right Atlas Passive Can Earn 1m-1.4m Gold, And Multiple Overlapping Towers = 1.4-2m Gold!

See The Suggested Atlas Setup Here In The Atlas Tree

_______

4. Additional Tips & Bugs To AVOID

For Running Castaway Runs:

Run Outer Circle Of The Map First & Release The 4 Souls At The Check Points

*BEST To Run With At Least 1 Revive Keystone*

If A Player Dies BEFORE Boss Is Killed, Its Fine To Instantly Revive

If A Player Dies AFTER Boss Is Killed, They MUST Wait Until The Bomb Is Set & Exploded, With Map Completed To Revive

If Host Dies After The Boss Is Killed, And Revives BEFORE Bomb Explodes, ALL GOLD Will Be Gone From The Castaway Map!

As A Host, Is Important To NOT Die, Or Drop The Bomb At The Middle Of The Map After Defeating The Boss, So If You DIE, Other Party Members Can Pick Up The Bomb And Still Complete The Map Without Losing The Gold For Everyone!

______

For Potential Atlas Map Loading/Fog Bugs Upon Opening New Maps

Try To Re-log As The Host

It Is A Known 0.3 Issue That Some Castaway Maps Gets Bugged Out Leading To Tower Resets/Disappearing/Map Not Opening (Happens Around 1/50 Maps)
