Strategy
This method farms Hiveblood from ordinary Breach content and converts all of it into Catalysts through the Genesis Tree, then sells the Catalysts. It needs no Delirium, no city maps and no juiced waystones: the creator’s tracked sessions used plain Tier 15 corrupted maps with three Breach tablets on a travel node, completing three breaches per map and leaving.
Over several logged batches the Hiveblood-to-Catalyst conversion alone came to roughly 65–68 Divine per 10 tablets, about 6.5–7 Divine per map, at around three minutes per map. Ground loot, breach drops and tablets were excluded from those numbers; the creator notes that ground loot usually covers the cost of tablets and maps. It suits any character that can comfortably clear Tier 15 maps, and it is pitched as a calmer, less time-hungry alternative to Expedition farming.
Atlas Tree & Setup
- Genesis Tree — take every node that adds extra Catalysts, the node that lets you birth Catalysts from Hiveblood (mandatory), and the final node for a 10% chance at Jewel Catalysts, which sell for considerably more than regular ones.
- Tablets — three Breach tablets per map, each with increased quantity of Hiveblood found in map (rolls 30–60%; aim for about 50%). The creator paid around 5 Chaos each; 1 Chaos tablets work with lower rolls. Other tablet mods are ignored.
- Maps — any Tier 15 corrupted waystone on a travel node that accepts three tablets.
- Atlas masters — Jado, for the chance at increased tablet effect and the ability to reroll a corrupted map into a better layout. Doryani (Evolutionary Pressure, irradiated maps, Improved Calibration, Volatile Connection) also works, but the creator saw roughly 10,000 more Hiveblood per session with Jado.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — cheap tablets (1–5 Chaos) and regular T15 corrupted waystones
- Returns: high — about 6.5–7 Divine per map from Catalysts alone; the creator reports 3,000–4,000 Divine over a few days
- Scaling: stack Delirium on top for more ground loot and splinters, or run four-tablet city maps for more Hiveblood per map
Step-by-step
- Allocate the Catalyst nodes on the Genesis Tree, including the birth node and the Jewel Catalyst node.
- Buy Breach tablets with high Hiveblood quantity rolls.
- Slot three tablets into a travel node and run a Tier 15 corrupted map.
- Use Jado to reroll maps with poor layouts; keep good layouts such as Sandpit.
- Complete the three breaches, finish the map, exit and repeat.
- Convert the accumulated Hiveblood into Catalysts and sell them in bulk.
Risks
- Profit depends on Catalyst prices; heavy adoption of the strategy can push them down
- Returns assume a roughly three-minute clear; slower characters earn proportionally less
- Tablets sometimes survive a map, but the tracked numbers assume one tablet set per map
- Results come from one creator’s logs plus stream viewers, not a large independent sample
