White Maps Bestiary

The White Map Bestiary Farming Strategy is an ideal method to begin farming currency if your build is not capable of tackling the higher tiers of content, but remains fairly competitive even at the later stages of progression assuming you have enough speed to complete the Maps efficiently.

This currency strategy combines multiple low impact mechanics to quickly clear as many Maps as possible:

• Bestiary Content awards Beasts which can be stored in Bestiary Orbs and sold to other players.
• Essence Content in white maps you can find only up to Screaming Essences but you can still find valuable Remnants of Corruption and use them on Screaming Essence of Dread, Screaming Essence of Envy, Screaming Essence of Misery, Screaming Essence of Scorn to convert them into expensive corrupted Essences.
• Delirium Content is an additional source of profits as it awards a large amount of Delirium Orbs which can be sold in bulk to other players. Aim to clear enough of the map to reach 5 Tiers of reward when you encounter a Delirium.
• Harbinger Content does not scale with map tier, making it as valuable to farm in lower tier content as in Tier 16 Maps. It adds a small amount of time to the map but this trade off is more than worth it for the chance to drop Fracturing Shards.

Requirements

This Strategy has very low gear requirements since it only requires you to be able to run up to Tier 4 Maps. Sacrificing excess damage to enhance your speed is recommended here to increase the number of Beasts you can capture during a single play session.

This strategy is possible at all stages of progression. The early progression variant requires no favorite slots unlocked and 120 Atlas Points, however an alternative variant is provided if you have progressed your Atlas further.

Set-Up

Map Choice

Low Tier Bestiary farming can be done on any white Maps. It's important to identify the best layout of map at each tier to capture Beasts as quickly as possible, but any low tier Maps can be used. We recommend

• Tier 1: Siege Map
• Tier 2: Dunes Map
• Tier 3: Strand Map, Bog Map
• Tier 4: Cemetery Map, Mesa Map, Mausoleum Map

If you have access to favorite slots, Shadow Shaping can be used to prevent undesirable Maps from dropping; increasing the chance for you to drop one of the Maps listed above.

Map Device

• Harbinger - 4 Chaos Orbs; Area contains 2 additional Harbingers.

Fragments

Select a fragment set-up based on your desired investment level.

Atlas Passive Tree

Bestiary passives increase the chance to encounter Einhar in your maps up to 100%. They also increase the chance that you find rarer beasts via Natural Selection and The Hunt for Craiceann to hunt for Craicic Chimerals.

Essence passives increase the amount and the tier of the Essences you find.

Delirium passives increase the likelihood you encountering a Delirium Mirror within your Maps, the number of Delirium Orbs you drop and give you an additional chance to have additional reward tiles when opening a Delirium Mirror.

Harbinger passives increase the rate at which Harbingers spawn making them much faster to complete. They also give you a small chance when dropping a Currency Shard to upgrade it to the full version of the of the currency. In some rare cases you can expect an entire Fracturing Orb to drop!

Dance of Destruction reduces the enemies life by 25%, making them much easier to kill. However, the downside of mobs dealing 25% more damage can be very debilitating. If you are dying in a large portion of your Maps, immediately unspec this node until you have better gear.
