Beast farming in white t16 maps guide

Hey Exiles! This guide is for those who are either low on currency or prefer to farm while watching something on another monitor. Beast farming is incredibly strong this league since you can stack beasts and capture around 40-60 per map.

How Does It Work?
We maximize beast spawns per map with a high chance of them being red beasts, ensuring the most valuable captures.

Idols Setup
You'll need the following idols for optimal beast stacking:

  • (4) 2x2 Idols: Yellow beasts in your maps have an 18% chance to be replaced with red beasts. One idol should have "Beasts are likely to be less common variety."
  • (4) 3x1 Idols: Red beasts in your maps have a 24% chance to appear in pairs, and your maps contain an additional 4 yellow beasts (which can turn red).
  • (4) 1x1 Idols: Red beasts in your maps come from the wilds. (Optional: Red beasts from the sands.)

Scarabs Setup
I use:

  • Bestiary Scarab
  • 2x Bestiary Scarab of the Herd
  • Bestiary Scarab of Duplicating Since that only takes up 4 slots, you can use an extra scarab of your choice.

What Mechanics to Run with Beasts?

  • Betrayal & Delirium: These have great synergy because you don’t need to stop and engage in additional mechanics—just focus on beasts and make extra currency on the side.
  • Catarina: Good for veiled orbs.
  • Delirium: Gives deli orbs and splinters, translating to extra chaos per map.
  • Essences: Haven’t tested much, but beasts synergies well with imprisoned monsters.

How to Make Currency?
Your main goal is to capture and sell high-value beasts in bulk.

How to Identify Valuable Beasts?

  1. Use https://poe.re/#/beast and select the beasts you want to farm.
  2. Press H (opens Bestiary), then go to Captured Beasts Tab (yellow beast head).
  3. Paste your regex filter there.
  4. Check after every map—your Bestiary has a 1,000 beast limit, and old beasts will get replaced if full. (GGG should let us release whole bestiary)

Profit Per Map?
Depends on market prices, but just from beasts alone (excluding scarabs/lucky drops), expect 5-30 divines per hour.

Gold & XP Gains?

  • Gold: Around 8k on a white map.
  • XP: Decent, since you’re killing a ton of elites.

Map Device Setup

  • Use Eater of Worlds for divine altars (1 in 400 maps).
  • Every 28 maps, you'll get invitations that you can either sell or run for extra profit.

Best Map to Use?

  • City Square
  • The boss is near the entrance, making it easy to kill fast and avoid altar rewards rolling on it.

Happy hunting, Exiles! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. GL & HF!
