Strategy
This is an update to the creator’s summoning-circle boss rush after the best city tablets (Irradiated with extra unique-monster modifiers) vanished from the market. Instead of overpaying for them, the strat leans into two mechanics that are paying very well right now: Abyss in city maps and Breach on travel maps. Summoning circles and quantity of Waystones stay on every tablet, so the core goal of spawning the Citadel boss Jamanra and her valuable tablets is unchanged.
Abyss adds a second income vector in cities: Craniums from the Depths / Lightless Void chests were around 26 Divine at recording time and Omens of Light close to 9 Divine. Breach on travel maps feeds Womb Gifts and Hive Blood into the Genesis Tree, where you can mass-summon rings with minion modifiers that sell for roughly 15–100 Divine depending on the roll, and leftover Hive Blood turns into catalysts.
It suits players who want a city-map farm with more ways to profit than one boss, and who don’t mind some crafting-bench work afterwards. The creator reports finishing a Mageblood in a day with a weaker version of this setup.
Atlas Tree & Setup
- Complete the Abyss and Breach quest trees. On Abyss, Amanamu’s Omens node is the important one. On Breach, take the first option on the unstable-breach reward node and the node that grants the Womb Gifts used for rings.
- Make sure the summoning-circle node is set to Powerful, otherwise the circles bug out far more often.
- City maps: Waystone with at least 120% Waystone drop chance and four Abyss tablets with an additional summoning circle and quantity of Waystones (the abyssal mod is optional). If those run short, one or two Irradiated tablets are a fine substitute for the +1 monster level.
- Travel maps: two sets of Breach tablets, both with summoning circle and quantity of Waystones, one with quantity of Womb Gifts and one with quantity of Hive Blood. Use your low-drop-chance leftover Waystones here.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low. Abyss tablets around 5–6 Exalted, Breach tablets about 4 Chaos each with plenty of supply.
- Returns: mid, with spikes. A good Abyss map with a Cranium can be 40–60 Divine, though fragments only show up every 7–8 maps or so. Minion-mod rings and catalysts add steady side income, and you can sell your own dropped Abyss tablets after cheaply rolling them.
- Scales with how much Womb Gift / Hive Blood you bank and how many cities you run.
Step-by-step
- Run city maps: click the three monoliths first, kill the boss in the middle, then use the small stones only for checkpoints. Wait for a possible second boss before teleporting away, or the monoliths break.
- Inside Abyss Depths / Lightless Void, full clear and open every chest for Craniums.
- On travel maps, do every Breach and bank all Womb Gifts and Hive Blood.
- At the Monastery of the Keepers, follow the left-side minion-modifier path of the Genesis Tree, select the Womb Gifts, then shift-click each one to mass-summon rings. Sell rings with strong minion suffixes.
- Spend surplus Hive Blood on the catalyst tree, then three-to-one the cheap catalysts at the reforging bench into Sibilant, Skittering or Reaver.
- Roll spare Abyss tablets cheaply (transmute, augment, regal or alchemy, price-check each step) and sell them.
Risks
- Tablet markets get swept fast; if Abyss tablets dry up, fall back to Irradiated.
- Ring and catalyst prices are league-market dependent, and price checks on rare rings can be misleading.
- Summoning circles are bug-prone; interrupting a second boss spawn breaks the remaining monoliths.
- Cranium drops are streaky, so expect several dry maps between big hits.
