This article is a detailed guide on how to make some Divine Orbs with the new PoE 3.25 mechanic - Kingsmarch town, which is a great "Farm Strategy" in Settlers of Kalguur.
1. Getting Gold
● Gold is required for upgrades, hiring & wages (+currency market)
● Farming high-tier maps is the best source of Gold.
● Packsize and quant are the main stats for gold farming.
● Good t17 run provides -30k gold
● If you can't run t17, there are still options..
● Improve mining to max level.
● In t16, you get 500-1k ore from one ore vein
● Sometimes, you can find two ore veins per map.
2. How to Improve Town Early
● Important: focus on upgrading mining and farms.
● Upgrade farms to get access to all crop types.
● Important: maxing out recruitment.
● Smeltering should only be able to process all types of bars.
● Don't ship too many resources until you get town upgrades. You'll profit later.
3. Most Important Ore
● Verisium Ore is so far the most valuable.
● Verisium Outcrops require players to hold and release to increase the difficulty and rewards of monsters.
4. Smelting Tips
● Smelting turns ore into bars.
● Bars count x5 times the value of regular ore for shipment quotas.
● After you upgrade most low-level things in the town (with basic ore) smelting all ore is recommended.
● Don't overpay smeltersm. You don't need many of them.
● You only need 1 smelter for each type of ore.
● Verisium bar is the most valuable.
5. Food Tips
● Set up Farming Crops as soon as possible.
● Farm all types of food for the bonus.
● More different crops = more production
6. Shipping Ports
● 2 types of ports: Kalguuran & Karui
● Karui send back tattoos
● Kalguur sends back runes
7. Shipping Strategies
● Stack as many resources as possible to get big stacks of rewards.
● Send many small shipments to increase the chance to get a small stack of valuable currency.
8. Port Levels
● Theory: it is highly possible that ports have hidden levels
● Theory: ports gain levels when you complete quotas
● Recommendation: send full ships with resources to meet quotas + crops
● Thaumaturgic Dust is a multiplier:
10 dust = 50% value multiplier
55 dust = 100% value multiplier
519 dust = 150% value multiplier
8104 dust = 200% value multiplier
● It is optimal to add at least 519 dust.
9. Early Town Tip
● Don't send resources if you don't have enough for further town upgrades.
10. Idle Workers' Wages
● When workers are Idle, they don't get paid.
11. When to Start Mapping
● Don't get mappers early.
● Start when the town is maxed, and mappers can run yellow maps.
● Send max-level mappers to missions.
Conclusion
In the PoE 3.25 economy, I'm sure Kingsmarch can be a profitable farm strategy on its own and bring you various currencies, including the Divines. Here is all you need to know about it. If you like this, please watch Ronarray's original YouTube video for more details.
