Farming currency in Path of Exile 2 has never been easier, especially when compared to the hassle of hunting down specific unique items. The strategy becomes increasingly crucial as you transition into the endgame, where your chances of obtaining valuable orbs are significantly higher. Although you may secure some currency items during the campaign, items like the Divine Orb are much rarer than Orb of Transmutation. Fortunately, the Atlas maps enhance item rarity and provide other methods to augment your drop rates.

Introduction

This guide aims to equip you with the best methods to maximize your currency farming through the Atlas Tree. While it's impossible to pick each passive node, you can always respec your points to adapt to your needs.

The Atlas Tree

The core Atlas Tree allows for the allocation of up to 40 points, primarily focusing on increasing monster rarity and pack density. Immediately upon entering the tree, you should prioritize nodes such as Twin Threats and Rising Danger which can be unlocked with just five passive points. These nodes substantially boost your overall currency yield.

Node Selection

Next, direct your attention towards the cluster of nodes containing Expanding Hordes and Bountiful Bloodlines, as they further enhance your pack sizes, thereby increasing the odds of item drops. Shifting your focus to the right side of the tree is also advised; prioritize nodes that grant increased item rarity. Specifically, select Constant Crossroads and Crystalline Growth, while also exploring Essence nodes for either Resonant Lattice or Harmonic Corruption, or opting for Local Knowledge, situated on the upper left side of the passive tree.

Be cautious with Unstable Energies, as it should be lower on your priority list. While this Keystone amplifies the benefits of Prefixes and Suffixes on a Waystone, it can also heighten unfavorable modifiers that might reduce your overall efficiency.

Additional Measures

To maximize your currency-farming potential, ensure you equip gear with Increased Item Rarity modifiers. Investing in Gold Rings and a Gold Amulet with double rarity mods can significantly enhance your farming efficiency, although these pieces may come at a steep cost in terms of damage and defense. Alternatively, you can focus on acquiring gear that complements your build while still providing a rarity affix.

Don't underestimate the utility of Waystones integrated with item rarity, as they can provide that extra push for item drop optimization. Information about acquiring currency can be found at ItemD2R.com, offering great deals for players wanting to enhance their experience amidst the wide array of farming methods.

Conclusion

With these strategies in mind, you should be gearing up to boost your currency farming prowess in Path of Exile 2. The overall goal revolves around optimizing your node selections to maximize monster density and item rarity. Every passively allocated point counts towards your endgame goals! Happy farming!
