How To Juice Your Monstrous Treasure Maps In POE 3.20?

Feb 02, 2023

In this article, I'd like to discuss the Monstrous Treasure Map crafting option and the proper ways of farming it.

At the beginning, let's talk about what the Monstrous Treasure crafting option actually does. It adds anywhere from 24 to 36 additional Strongboxes to your map and removes all the natural inhabitants or monsters from your map and packs them inside those Strongboxes.

Some of you can probably remember that about a year ago, we still had Prophecies and Monstrous Treasure was one of them. And back in the days of Prophecy, farming Monstrous Treasure was one of the most lucrative methods of acquiring the old big cards, such as Doctor for example from farming Strongboxes.

So, let's talk about how to add this Monstrous Treasure crafting option to your map device. It comes from the Shaping the Skies, passive on your Atlas Tree, implying that upon completing your map meaning you have to kill the boss of the map. By the way, if you want to kill a boss more quickly, using weapons and armors leveled up by POE Currency will help you a lot. You have about 3% chance to get a special Map Crafting option added to your map device.

To my knowledge, there are four special Map Crafting options available. One of them is obviously Monstrous Treasure. There is also the improved Trial of Ascendancy, Alluring Vaal Side Area and the Corrupting Tempest option. Hence, there are four options that this passive can grant you upon map completion. Therefore, on average you will get about 1 Monstrous Treasure of their 133 maps completed, meaning it will take a long time to farm any significant number of Monstrous Treasure.

Nonetheless, if you spec into it at the beginning of the league and then never remove the passive while you keep playing, eventually, you'll have enough Monstrous Treasure generated to last you for one good mapping session, which will have a good chance to wrap you an apothecary. Now, since Monstrous Treasure tracks so rarely, not going the full wave of that is a mistake.

So, let's talk about the proper way of farming Monstrous Treasure. Now, you will obviously want to juice your boxes as much as possible and use all the Elevated Sextants available, such as 600% increased quantity of items dropped from the monsters lying in ambush, traditional Strongboxes, increased back size of your magic monsters and depending. If you have an unidentified map, you will want to use the unidentified Sextant or any additional pack size Sextant.

Now, let's discuss the Atlas Tree for this strategy. You will always want to use the Wandering Path notable and combine it with all of the Strongboxes, small passive nodes available. As for the rest of your passive points, it doesn't really matter how much what you do with them. You have some freedom of what you can or want to do with those passive points. I personalize back into all the possible map duplication nodes and removed all of my favorite maps to have more recurrence drops. Feel free to do with them whatever you'd like.

Next, let's discuss how you should roll your maps. You should buy your desired map with an implicit that grants 4 additional Strongboxes. I've run 10 Defiled Cathedrals. But you could also run Haunted Mansions, Crimson Temples and Crimson Temples of Smothering since they also have a chance of dropping an apothecary.

It is also worth mentioning that acquiring these maps in big ball can be very challenging. Therefore, what you should do is get Fractured Fossil and split your maps. This will allow you to stockpile your maps a lot faster rather than getting them individually after accumulating enough maps.

Next Step would be to roll them to have as much item quantity as possible while doing. So, make sure that all of the map mods that you roll you can actually run after that head to the Menagerie and double corrupt your map. The best case scenario would be for the map to gain two additional mods and become an identified map. And the only way it can break is if it becomes a 70 or 80 quant map, which is not advisable for Monstrous Treasure juicing. The fragments that you'll absolutely want to use alongside with your maps are Faint Definition Scarabs and Winged Ambush Scarabs.

There are two fragments do not really matter too much. Keep in mind that Strongboxes will block most of the Elite spawning mechanics or content and most of the Altars. So, you won't be getting too much benefit of including other Scarabs with your maps. I personally use Mortal Fragments. But again feel free to use whatever you'd like.

For the last remain to fragment slots, you can also add Delirium layers to your map since most of the natural mumps will be removed from your map. You will not have any decent chance of cracking the Altars and by adding the boxes from Delirium layers. You can actually proc some of the elders and maybe get some additional quantity on your map.
