Strategy
This is an Abyss farming routine built around harvesting Omens of the Abyss rather than raw currency, and it pays surprisingly well for how little it costs to set up. In a sample run of nine Abyss maps the creator pulled roughly 40 Divine Orbs worth of omens — chiefly Omens of Light (around 10 Divine for a stack of ten) and Abyssal Echoes (three combine into a Divine) — all on a character running 0% increased Item Rarity. Because the value comes from the omens themselves and not from rarity-scaled drops, it is an excellent earner for SSF players and anyone who wants a dependable income stream without a min-maxed magic-find build.
The core trick is the Empty Amanamu (void) modifier carried by Abyss rare monsters. Killing a monster inside the resulting black cloud rolls the worse Sovereign/Overlord omens; killing it outside the cloud rolls the valuable Light and Echo omens. Post-patch the monsters actively try to enter or leave the cloud, so simply staying outside and letting them come to you is usually enough. If your build hits too hard to control the cloud, the void dissipates on its own after a moment and the kill then counts as “outside”.
Atlas Tree & Setup
The Abyss Atlas passives matter as much as the map itself. Prioritise the node that scatters Abyss pits across the whole map rather than clustering them — rare monsters spawn spread out, so spread-out pits catch far more of them. Also take the Abyss-monster and group-size nodes, the Empty-Amanamu / evil-treasures omen nodes, and the renegade exile nodes (a free secondary farm). Pick up monster-rarity and magic-pack-size where available — bigger magic packs convert into more rares, and rares are what generate the void modifier.
Map prep: roll the map so it is missing one modifier (a fully-modded or corrupted map blocks the 100% monster-rarity Ritual reroll), then use the Ritual’s chaotic-rarity and chaotic-effectiveness rerolls to push monster rarity and pack size high. Don’t blindly chase 100% rarity — there’s a per-pack cap on rares, so a large pack at moderate rarity yields more rares than a small pack forced to max. Layer in cheap Abyss tablets (the “map has a chance for additional abysses” tablet runs ~2 Chaos; skip the ~14 Divine “infested” tablet, it isn’t worth it).
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — ~1 Divine or a few Chaos per map in tablets; no rarity gear required.
- Returns: high — ~4–5 Divine of omens per good map (40 Div across 9 maps in the sample), scaling further with Item Rarity.
- Scaling: more rares → more Empty-Amanamu → more omens. Rarity gear and Delirium add raw currency on top but do not increase omen drops.
Step-by-step
- Set up the Abyss Atlas tree: scattered pits, group size, rarity, Empty-Amanamu/treasure omens, renegade exiles.
- Take a map missing one modifier; use the Ritual chaotic-rarity + chaotic-effectiveness rerolls to push rarity and pack size.
- Apply cheap Abyss tablets (additional-abyss). Favour very tight/enclosed layouts — Conclave (a.k.a. T-Assembly) is the standout map.
- In the map, kill rare monsters outside the black Amanamu cloud to roll Light and Echo omens; keep totems/minions out of the cloud too.
- Collect omens, combine to Divines (Light ×10, Echoes ×3, Sovereign ×6) and sell or use.
Risks
- Killing inside the void cloud rolls junk omens (Sovereign/Overlord) — totem and minion builds must keep their damage source outside the cloud.
- The old Azmerian-spirit stacking trick was nerfed; only one omen now drops per qualifying monster.
- Returns are RNG-swingy run to run; a bad map layout (open, sparse) tanks the omen count.
