Unless you’re crafting or flipping, chances are you’re not making any money set in your hideout. Therefore, to make more POE Currency in POE 3.23, we need to spend less time in the hideout. We’re going to do that by spending more time in our hideout straight away. But before you think I’m completely insane, just hold that thought.

Tips

One of the big problems I have is that it’s very easy for us to get distracted and forget what we were doing. 

So, we’ll finish a map, go back to our hideout, start crafting the next map for our mission, get distracted by someone on Discord, or just forget what we were doing. We’ll end up sitting in our hideout probably way longer than we ought to.

It also turns out that humans are really good at doing things they’ve done lots of times before, especially recently. Point in case: you’re really good at killing those mobs that you’ve been killing all day. You’re also really good at browsing your inventory, looking for things to craft your maps with. Now, this ability to repeat things over and over again and sort of become laser-focused on it is something we want to take advantage of.

One of the reasons I like to run Delve is that it’s great for leveling.That’s because there are lots of areas linked together where we don’t actually have to leave the area and we’re forced into the next one, so we don’t just waste our time. What I’m about to talk about now allows us to do that in maps. 

So, I want you to stop the mentality of just grabbing 1 or 2 maps out of your stash tab each time you finish one and crafting them up, especially if you’re trying to run a currency strategy. 

What I want you to do is craft your maps on mass. I’m running the Abyssal strategy from CrouchingTuna, and it’s very good. But it requires that on our maps, we have monsters with +2 projectiles. There are also lots of map mods that my character can’t run being Tornado Shot. It’ll just get one-shot repeatedly if it has them. Checking these maps one by one is very slow to do.

Strategies

To help you with this, introducing Poe.re, short for PoE regular expressions. For those of you who don’t know, a regular expression is a way in computers of pattern matching for strings, so finding patterns in text. 

If we switch over to map modifiers on the left-hand tab, you now have the option of selecting multiple map modifiers that you want on your map and those that you don’t. On the right-hand side, we’re going to pick out monsters, fire, 2 additional projectiles because we want that. 

We’re then going to run down the left-hand side and exclude anything that’s really bad for our build. When we’re done, we’ll have a string. We can click the copy button to copy it, and then I store mine in Notepad so we can get back to it later without having to reselect everything.

We’re now going to grab a load of maps that we want to craft and put them in a stash tab. We then, in the search bar below the stash tab, are going to paste our regular expression. You’ll now notice that pretty much all the maps have turned gray. Any that aren’t gray already have the mods that you want. 

And what this allows us to do is now use Scouring Orbs and Alchemy Orbs, or if you want super efficiency, Chaos Orbs, to craft the maps. The moment they light up and have the rolls we need, we can move them to the other side of the tab. Then, we’re going to rinse and repeat this until every single map has the roles that we want.

This, in combination with a really strong loot filter, will allow us to basically do what we do in Delve and just re-enter maps the moment we leave because we can already have a set of maps in our tabs ready to go. 

I tend to put 3 in my inventory and use the extra space given by this league’s extra bag space. This means that literally the moment I finish a map, I can start the next one. No more procrastinating. Once I’ve used my 3, I go back to my stash, grab another 3, and I’m straight going again. 

It’s efficiencies like this that will turn you from a standard player through a game god, able to siphon currency from the air.
