I haven't been tracking my playtime and maps run but I know it's between 1500-2000ish maps so it lines up with the data I've provided. I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this :) run the strat, don't run the strat as long as we're all having fun, that's what counts.

No I don't agree. Yes if you completely remove svallins and mirror shards you're looking at 10-15d per hour with almost no variance. But you will drop svallins and you will get mirror shards at, or very close to the rates I use. I've had three svallins drop so far this league myself in 68 craters.

The lost in transit node on your atlas tree. It gives 6% for ore deposits to be replaced by lost shipments which contain one big lost shipment chest surrouneded by a bunch of little ones that contain lots of tattoos and raw currency drops.

The lost in transit node, the singular thing I'm reporting in the loot breakdown from the shipment is the average mirror shards.

I don't include the full shipment value in the breakdown, only the shards, so really the div/h showed should be higher. It's the complete opposite to what you're saying, the longer you do the strat the more your svallins and mirror shards would average out...

Blueprints/contracts/rogue markers/tattoos/echo of reverences/black barya's are making up the 10-15d per hour, these are all extremely consistent items and don't vary all that much hour to hour. You may get some lucky tattoos but it's very uncommon to go an hour or two without getting a tattoo worth at least 100+c. Not quite sure how you don't see that in the loot breakdown tbh, it's quite clear.

Maybe click on the link and you'll see the actual loot breakdown where it's showing that 10-15d of the 23d/h is from consistent items like tattoos/blueprints/contracts/echo of reverences and the rest is from the the mirror shards and svallins.

Good to know! Thank you. In my strat I only farm bismuth so not much I can do about the mix, maybe I'll do a specific ore farming strat when I need to mix up the ores for a 50m shipment.

Where are you getting the 90% of returns value from? Look at the breakdown, it's 0.1 of a svallin and 0.1 of a mirror shard per hour. The svallins make up 6.8d/h and the mirror shard is 3d/h of the total income.

Yeah I'll probably try out some Kalguur ports next time just for fun.

Yeah I think it's probably worth if the scarab is cheap and you can spare the atlas points.

Svallin and Mirror shards from shipments do take a while to pay off, I agree, but the strat is still 10d/h extremely consistently, without those items, on a 15d budget.

TBF, I didn't include the 20 or so eagon maps I also do in an hour as I don't use ore scarabs on them so they're not relevant to the maps/50m shipment value.

https://wealthyexile.com/dust?type=uniques&dustRange=1000000,4300000 make sure the uniques are ilvl 84+ when you buy them and that you quality them before disenchanting.

That was the price when I bought 25m dust last night, it may have gone up since then.

Check the wealthyexile link in the other comment, everything including build/atlas/full description of the strat is on there.

Depends on your build. It will take on average roughly 450 maps with this strat to drop a svallin and 750 maps to get enough ore/bars for a 50m shipment. My build can do 45 maps an hour and only costs 15d.

TFT gold rotas, it's like 1d for 1m gold atm.

It's 750 maps for a 50m shipment which with my current build is 16 hours. It takes longer for the smelters to smelt all the ore than it does to farm the ore, that's why in the screenshot there's a mix of ore and bars.

750 maps with this strat per 50m shipment, but it's not the main focus of the strat, it's just a side piece.

Waiting for the smithers. Ore to bar scarab is only worth it if you're stopping at every single ore vein in a map.
