U4GM Complete Guide to POE 2 Currency Farming Locations

Strand Map for Speed Farming and Delirium

The Strand Map remains one of the best locations for quick and efficient currency farming in Path of Exile 2. Its linear layout and consistent monster density make it ideal for fast-clearing builds focused on raw loot per hour. When paired with mechanics like Delirium and Beyond this map becomes a powerhouse for stacking monsters and generating large amounts of raw currency such as Chaos Orbs Divine Orbs and Simulacrum Splinters. The map also works well with Scarabs including those for Strongboxes Harbingers and Delirium. Because of its simplicity players can run Strand repeatedly with minimal downtime allowing for a high number of map completions per hour.

Burial Chambers for Divination Card Farming
Burial Chambers remains a top-tier farming location for players targeting divination cards with high trade value. The primary attraction is The Doctor card which eventually turns into a Mirror of Kalandra when eight cards are collected. Although the drop rate is low the value of the card makes the grind worthwhile. Additionally the map drops other useful cards and is relatively easy to run consistently. Adding mechanics like Beyond Legion and Strongboxes further boosts your chances of valuable loot. If your build has enough speed and survivability this map can be a reliable income source over time.

Tower Map for The Nurse Card and Scarab Farming
The Tower Map is well-known for dropping The Nurse a mid-tier divination card that contributes toward The Doctor. Because the map features multiple floors and close-packed enemies it is excellent for farming both cards and raw currency. Using Delirium Orbs in Tower can flood the map with mobs that drop Simulacrum Splinters and additional currency items. Scarabs like Divination Strongbox and Harbinger are especially effective here. This map rewards players who enjoy slower but high-density encounters where multiple mechanics can be layered for exponential returns.

Dunes Map for Legion and General Pack Farming
The Dunes Map is ideal for Legion farming due to its wide-open layout and excellent visibility. Legion encounters benefit greatly from maps that provide ample space for breaking out frozen enemies. In addition to splinter farming Dunes also supports Breach Delirium and Metamorph mechanics effectively. By stacking Scarabs and boosting pack size with Sextants and Atlas passives players can turn this otherwise simple map into a profitable loop. Builds that excel at screen-wide clear and rapid movement benefit the most from running this map.

Azurite Mine for Fossil and Resonator Profit
Delving into the Azurite Mine is one of the most consistent non-map-based methods of farming currency. Fossils and resonators remain in high demand for crafting and their drop locations are fixed based on biome and depth. Beginners can start at shallow depths while experienced players often push deeper for better rewards. Fractured walls hidden nodes and specific biomes like Fungal Caverns or Petrified Forests contain some of the most valuable fossils such as Corroded Frigid and Dense fossils. Targeting these areas and selling fossils in bulk can yield excellent profits without the need for constant mapping.

Blighted Maps for Passive Currency Farming
Blighted Maps offer a tower defense twist to traditional farming and can generate huge rewards if run correctly. They are especially valuable for oils which are used in anointments and crafting. Clear oils like Golden and Silver can sell for large amounts of currency. Blighted Maps do not rely heavily on build speed but rather on strategic tower placement and strong area damage. These maps are ideal for players who enjoy a slower paced but potentially high-reward experience. Using anointing oils on rings and amulets also creates profitable items for sale in the trade market.

The Beachhead and Harbinger Zones for Currency Shards
The Beachhead unique map and Harbinger-influenced zones are effective for farming raw currency shards like Ancient Orbs Exalted Shards and Chaos Shards. Harbingers spawn numerous minions that drop currency in pieces which accumulate quickly over multiple maps. When combined with Harbinger Scarabs and Atlas passives the shard drop rate increases significantly. The Beachhead also has the benefit of being relatively easy while offering solid returns. These methods are well-suited for beginners and intermediate players looking to build wealth without relying on complex mechanics.

Act Farming Zones for Early League Profit
While many players rush to maps early in the league some of the acts can still be useful for early farming. Zones like Blood Aqueducts and The Dried Lake offer consistent mob density and divination card drops such as Humility which can be turned into Tabula Rasa. Farming these areas provides new players a way to generate starting currency without needing endgame gear. As the league progresses this method becomes less efficient but it is still a reliable strategy for day-one currency making or for those playing in Solo Self-Found leagues.
