Atlas Trees

Ultimatum / Shrines / Betrayal Leveling Tree

• https://poeplanner.com/a/6LDC
• Ultimatum Kirac Mod
• 2x Ultimatum Scarab of Bribing, 1x Ultimatum Scarab of Inscription, 1x Ultimatum Scarab of Dueling (If you can't beat boss replace this with 1x Ultimatum Scarab and just roll Kirac Quant Mod), 1x Betrayal Scarab of Reinforcements
• Run White T16 Toxic Sewers
• Only worry about clearing the Ultimatum and the Betrayal mission, you can kill the boss if you like but don't worry about random other monsters or breaches.
• Check the rewards on Ultimatum and if you get a VERY GOOD ONE, DONT RISK IT, END THE ULTIMATUM after you get it.
• Avoid the mana cost as lightning damage and all Ruin stacking Ultimatum mods.
• Focus on building safehouses and your board with Betrayal and do the Safehouses as they are ready.
• You can click Altars if you like but don't take anything that makes enemies more difficult, just to spawn Influence mobs.

Calcification Essence Farming

• https://poeplanner.com/a/6LD0
• Essence Kirac Mod
• 2x Scarab of Adversaries, 1x Essence Scarab of Calcification, 1x Essence Scarab of Stability, 1x Essence Scarab of Ascent
• Run Blue rolled T16 Toxic Sewers looking for the %Increase Rare Monster mod. To get these easily buy or farm a bunch of toxic sewers, put them into a stash tab and type "rare monster" into the search. Spam alterations around in a big line through the maps and take out the ones that roll. Avoid stats like lower block as essence monsters even with no mods are dangerous.
• Only worry about killing the essence monsters and the boss, ignore basically everything else including breaches.
• Bring 2 Stacks of Vaal Orbs with you at all times and corrupt ANY of the MEDS Essences (the purple ones) as well as any large stacks of essences or essences with 2x Shrieking.
• Expect to die occasionally if you're lazy, if you want to level do the Ultimatum Strategy above until you're at a point you're happy with.

Divinity Scarab Farming

• https://poeplanner.com/a/6LD-
• Any Kirac mod you want, I do Ambush or various drop only ones from the atlas mods
• Hard Scarabs - 3x Scarab of Divinity, 2x Horned Scarab of Nemeses
• Easier Scarabs (Still Hard) - 1 or 2x Scarab of Divinity, 1 or 2x Scarab of Adversaries (More Divinity is more difficult), 2x Horned Scarab of Nemeses
• ONLY do this with Headhunter setup as it gives you the defenses and damage needed to handle these mobs. You can make plenty of currency with other strategies like Essences, Strongboxes, Ultimatum, Etc.
• Run T17s (Ziggurat is my favorite but lots of people like Fortress) or T16.5 Toxic Sewers with as much Scarab% as possible.
• Kill everything, suggest killing the boss as soon as you find it cause some of the Divine Rares will slap you back to town.

• Use Spark of the Nova for more difficult enemies and general clear.
• Use Frostblink of Wintry Blast for movement and to kill off weaker enemies.
• Use Arcane Cloak to protect yourself from dangerous enemies and to deal significantly more damage.
• Use Sigil of Power + Frost Shield + your Graft abilities for bosses/very difficult enemies/area based encounters.
• Use Vaal Clarity to sustain your mana during periods of high damage.
