Hey everyone, today I'll tackle the question what happens when you run trade currency-farming strategies in SSF. Is it fun, is it useful, is it SSF-viable, and what are you getting out of it. In this episode, I'll tackle the Harbinger strategy. I'll cover the strategy, show some gameplay, and of course, the results.

This is another easy one. Just get as many harbingers in the map and buff them as much as possible and reap the rewards. Harbinger in SSF serves a purpose too though, but I'll get to that. I didn't take the strategy from Maxroll this time, but there is one, it's very similar. Harbinger farming just doesn't have that much variety, I feel.

I've made a whole guide about harbinger which still holds up today, I'll link that in the description. The only thing you need to be aware of, is that the loot from harbingers, meaning their currency shards, are not impacted by any item quantity or item rarity. However, the monsters they spawn, and they do spawn a bunch of rare monsters for example, ARE impacted by any modifiers that would otherwise impact monsters, meaning basically all item quantity, rarity, on area, on player, on altars, the whole shebang.
