Every Path of Exile league brings a new mechanic, but not all are equally profitable. For those targeting Exalted Orbs specifically, some league mechanics are better suited for farming than others.
Legion encounters remain top-tier for high reward potential. They feature large packs of monsters that, when properly
PoE Currency farmed, can drop Exalted Orbs and high-value fragments. Builds with strong AoE or scaling DoT excel here.
Expedition is another lucrative mechanic. While more time-consuming, it allows for careful selection of rewards and item scaling. With proper investment, each encounter can yield massive currency, including raw Exalted Orbs.
Rituals continue to offer controlled farming with reward rerolls. Use Tribute to refresh rewards and stack currency choices. Defensive or DoT builds like Cold DoT Occultist shine in this arena due to stationary gameplay.
Blight and Delve are more niche but effective. Blight maps, in particular, can be highly profitable when your build supports lane defense. Delve offers raw quantity from fossil nodes, with Exalted Orbs occasionally dropping in deeper runs.
Prioritize content that provides high mob density and scalable reward potential. Combining these mechanics with sextants and scarabs leads to exponential loot output.
Use strategic investment: stacking multiple mechanics (e.g., Legion + Delirium + Scarabs) creates synergy between mobs, giving more chances for drops.
Even lesser-used content like Breach or Metamorph can be valuable with the right setup. In the current patch, Harbingers are especially strong thanks to new Atlas nodes and higher currency drop frequency.
Mixing profitable league mechanics with
