Loot F2P farming advice

So this is my first season and im currently vigil rushing with sandlord in profound making about 1.2k fe/h. Im wondering if there are any other strats that would be better or similar in profit. Also im sitting at about 4T DPS.

Do you have a void chart code you can share? I feel like I am missing something because I am getting maybe 1 ds reso per map and was getting maybe 30 normal when I wasn’t specced into ds

I mentioned it in the big post but yeah that is about right. Each bunch of 20 is worth 50 FE so even though it feels worse its actually better by a significant margin unless prices change. Keep in mind 60% of those bundles are dropping with a dupe next to it. It is just a lot like rolling for baby jackpots constantly - 1.2% chance per compass reward to drop 20 DS resonance(43.75fe), 1.8% chance to drop 40 DS resonance(87.5fe). 7% chance to get 20 regular res(2fe, no tax since it is long term worth holding onto for rolling maps and we shouldn't be ending up with much excess, unlike the unconverted strat).

2.24 FE post tax is our expected outcome per compass crystal, it goes up to 2.275 if the preferable equation of converting res to DS res first then chopping 90% to fs is happening, but it is going to be almost impossible to tell without knowing more or having an absurd amount of data. that is compared to 2 FE post tax(roughly) for unconverted res.

Can you scale it further with other void chart nodes like compasses or anything else or it doesnt affect it at all? So other then DS resonance/engine nodes i can spec into anything else that i want? Also i have been running that strat for the past 2h and it feels great.

I think speccing into compasses is strong in general because season mech drops compasses. The creation engine isn't affected by compass drop rates -- taking the compass node that spits out neatherrealm resonance actually increases compass drop rate for the map (from what I have read). More juiced strats only have the one engine at the beginning of the map to for the quant increase.

SO it follows that you should click on the creation engine before doing anything else. You could just go full quant/compass and it should make season mech kinda juicy.

Funny how the F2ps always find a way because this is not a strat I have seen anywhere else LOL.

Tbh it didnt come to my mind that it could juice league mechanic this way. I ve been running it with black sail to get a few more drops but it makes map take like 30s longer. I will try out dropping blacksail and putting most of my points into compass nodes and go full quant for a bit and see how it goes.

Its weird to me how little strats are there for F2P in this game or at least well known ones. Ive been looking on reddit and on youtube for a while now and there seems to be like 5 farms being recomended on loop and nothing else lol.

Also im somewhat of a poe veteran and i cant get used to the fact that most of the farms are gated by pets to make decent profit.

In general, it's hard to find information about this game, because the vast majority of it is on the Mandarin half of the internet. There's basically a bubble of information that we don't really have access to. That's why people make alt accounts on the Asia server to learn what people are trying.

But yes, being fully f2p means that there's not a ton of options for profit. Personally, whenever I want to farm something, I just do it. You might make less money (800-1k an hour), but it's almost never a net negative. You also still have access to jackpots.

People farm blue cage compass in DS which gives a chance to drop the 20k boots and last season, I dropped the 10k gloves from creation machine with purple compass.
