Uploaded April 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In this mapping strategy, the goal is to over sustain 8 Mod Guardian Maps for a different Back to Basics Atlas Strategy. In addition, running these 8 Mod Guardians generates regular 8 mod maps to do any variety of juiced content with.
The reason we choose Guardian maps is because they have the most baseline packs out of any map. Since Influencing Scarab of Conversion is a rare scarab, we have to be selective when we use it.

In this video, I showcase a T17 farm where you pack the map full of magic monsters, then you convert them to Rare Monsters with Evolution Scarab, then these mobs have 7+ modifiers and drop a lot of loot.
While I use Beyond Scarab of the Invasion for this run, I am not sold on it. Maybe Horned Scarab of Tradition would be better.
The Strat:
-Run around to find the Evolution Shrine (Phase Run?)
-Kill most of the white mobs and magic mobs within 80 seconds (Gull?)
-Clear the map again killing the tanky rare mobs with 7+ modifiers

In this video, I showcase a T17 map without using the Horned Bloodlines scarab since the price has increased 300%+ since I posted my last video.
Also, my character can run pretty much any map mod. Only reduced flask charges and less defence is a no go. This allows me to spend roughly 30 chaos per map to roll versus 100+ if I was playing a less flexible character.
What T17 Maps I run: (Roughly)
1. More Rare Monster and 150%+ Scarab (Horned Nemesis, Adversaries)
2. 50%+ Pack Size and 150%+ Scarab (Monstrous Lineage, Adversaries)
3. 180%+ Scarab (Monstrous Lineage, Adversaries)
4. 70%+ Pack Size and 120%+ Scarab (Horned Bloodlines, Monstrous Lineage)
5. 90%+ Pack Size and 100%+ Scarab (Horned Bloodlines, Monstrous Lineage)
Always Horned Glittering and Hunted Traitor.
Regex: e s.*(d{3})%
This is the scarab 100+ regex I use to filter maps. I then eyeball the pack size and scarab quant to determine if I will run. Then I look to see if there are any mods I cant do.

In this video, I showcase a 100% Delirious Map using this Cold Cyclone Shockwave build I threw together to use my new Perfect Marohi weapon.
This build is not min-maxed as it was more or less thrown together to test the Frozen Legion skill that I have never used since Frozen Legion is the 5th Node on my crucible tree. In general, while Frozen Legion can hit for 54.4 Million damage while mapping, it feels kinda clucky and Im not sure if it is worth the 6 sockets they take up and the investment into cold conversion. It might be better to just stay the Physical Impale route with lots of auras or maybe run a Frozen Legion in a Hungering Loop.
POB: 20.5 - 51 Million DPS

I have done a lot of testing with the Back to Basics Keystone introduced in 3.24 and have settled on a scarab and map sustain atlas tree while being able to do some magic find if you want to use reliquary scarabs and a mf character, but MF is not needed for this strategy to work.
My character has 83% quant, 488% rarity, and roughly 11 million DPS for this showcase.

Updates:

In this video, I showcase raw footage of my Runegraft of the Angler build doing more Breach maps. I have been testing if Horned Awakened Scarab is good and it appears to be very good. I am averaging 14.7k mobs per map using Horned Awakened, which is roughly 40% more mobs than Triple Risk, though Triple Risk does drop more loot per mob due to the additional map modifiers. I would estimate Awakened Scarab is around 15-20% better. I did get unlucky in this 20 map test compared to the average.
BTW, Breach is better than Alva. I did the math. Also, this Awakened strat was suggested by a viewer. Thanks.
Regex: !acl|lm|ever urr.*(1[4-9].|[2-9]..)% iz.*([4-9].|d..)%|m q.*(1[4-9].|[2-9]..)%|urr.*([2-9]..|19.)%
Standard Pricing: (330 Div to 1 Mirror Drop Ratio based on https://www.twitch.tv/proplays)
Cost:

Deli Orb - 4 Div
Rolling - 4 Div
Scarabs - 55 Div
Revenue:
Currency - 81 div
Cards - 10 Div
Scarabs - 8 Div
Maps - 19 Div
Profit:
35 Div Per 20 Maps.... But
If, 33 Raw Div Per 20 Map & 330 Div Per Mirror = 2800 Div (4 lock/1 mirror)/200 Maps = 14 Div Per Map (280 div per 20)
Actual Profit:
35 Div Baseline + 280 Div (Lock/Mirror) = 315 Div per 20 Map
Lastly, I run this strat with a 119% Quant character, which isnt very high. You can run this strat with a MF wander or equivalent with ~180% quant for 7.4% more loot.

In this video, I layout my thoughts on the 3.26 patch notes and general suggestions on what kinds of builds I believe will be good. I personally prefer T16 speed clear farming, so I would play builds specifically catered to that strategy.
I will come out with videos detailing results and atlas tree layout for both my T16 and T17 strategy the first 24 hours of the league, so follow the channel for those updates.
I dont do starter build guides, so look up a build you want to play and make changes to it so that it can run all map mods.
Lastly, I forgot to talk about Scarab of Evolution. This may be very good alongside 4 Risk scarabs. I will being testing how good.

In this video, I showcase what I believe to be the best curation farm. After running 100+ maps with various atlas trees like Back to Basics and Barrel Farming, I have settled on this farm as the best.
For this farm to be The Best Curation farm, you need to be able to run almost every T17 map affix and you need to be able to clear the maps in under 10 minutes. If you cannot do this, it will not be The Best. These maps are EXTREMELY deadly in combination with the Altar mods, which give you a massive boost in Divination card drops, which results in 1.5x+ more loot per map compared to other similar strats.
Also, I would only suggest this farm if you have a minimum of 40% Quantity on gear as Glittering Scarab is not an option. 100+ Div is based on 40% Quant. 100 Div Per hour is calculated for in-league economy and based on 1400 The Wrath cards per 20 maps from full stack drops.
I run Exarch for Grand Embers and 1-3% chance to drop Divination Scarabs Altar.
What Maps I run:
1. Needs 70 Pack Size and 130% Quant
2. Needs a combination of over 100% Scarab and Currency
3. Ideally over 60% scarab, but will run lower if map quant is high.
