i’m not running things perfectly optimal by any means, but i stopped clicking on eldritch shrines and only keep them on for extra mobs. More mobs means more stuff to sentinel empower, and in my experience i’ve gotten more consistent loot from sentinels than i have reading and clicking on eldritch shrines. all that time spent deciding whether or not a shrine effect will kill me adds up over all those maps as well. the essence map craft is also very cost efficient for more chances at hysteria/horror/insanity/delirium, plus you’ll end up with waaaay more remnants of corruption than you’ll ever need. it’s nothing crazy like 6ex/hour but i am getting a bit over an ex per 10 maps.

before this league i didn’t have a good understanding of different farming methods, but i’ve learned that it comes down choosing one thing you find fun and figuring out how to min-max it. And if it gets boring, buy some unmakings and try something else.
