In Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt, mastering the Atlas Passive Tree and dungeon mechanics is the key to long-term wealth and sustainable high-tier mapping. Whether you're aiming to endlessly farm Horadric Strongrooms for attunement rewards or stack Divine Orbs through high-density monster maps, optimization starts with the right setup.  Read our PoE 2 0.2.0 atlas farming guide, we'll bring you top 2 best endgame atlas trees in Dawn of the Hunt.

Dawn of the Hunt Best Endgame Atlas Tree & Mapping Strats

This article breaks down two of the most powerful POE2  atlas trees currently dominating endgame. A Strongroom-focused farming method that leverages tablets, attunement loops, and Atlas synergies for infinite dungeon resets and massive loot. A Divine Orb farming strategy built on high-quantity maps, rare monster scaling, and league mechanics like Expedition, Ritual, and Breach. From crafting perfect maps to allocating high-impact Atlas passives, we’ll walk you through step-by-step systems to generate currency efficiently, sustain T15–T16 content indefinitely, and extract maximum value from every single run.

1. PoE 2 Best Endgame Atlas Tree

The foundation of this method revolves around three key elements. Rolling maps with maximum quantity, rarity, and pack size modifiers. Using tablets to enhance mechanics like Breach, Expedition, and Ritual for better rewards. Allocating passives to amplify loot from rare monsters and map modifiers. By combining these elements, players can sustain high-tier mapping indefinitely while generating significant currency and valuable drops.

Step 1: Crafting the Perfect Maps

Target Modifiers

The best maps prioritize:

• Increased Item Quantity (directly boosts loot)

• Increased Item Rarity (improves unique/rare drops)

• Pack Size (more monsters = more loot)

• Additional Rare Monsters (scales with Atlas passives)

Crafting Process

Start with Normal Maps – Use Orb of Alchemy + Omen of Sinestral Alchemy to guarantee three strong prefixes.

Upgrade Magic Maps – Apply Regal Orb + Omen of Sinestral Regal to add another high-value prefix.

Exalt Slam for Perfection – On well-rolled rare maps, use Omen of Sinestral Exalt to push for a sixth desirable modifier.

Corrupt for Extra Mods – Vaal Orbs can elevate good maps into exceptional ones, but be prepared to discard ruined results.

What to Avoid

Modifiers that cripple your build (e.g., No Life Regeneration, Reduced Recovery). Excessive difficulty spikes (e.g., Monster Crit Multiplier, Extra Damage as Elemental).

Step 2: Tablet Crafting for Strongroom Buffs

Tablets are essential for juicing up Strongrooms. The best modifiers include:

"Quantity of Items Found" (6-7%+) – The most impactful stat.

"Rarity of Items Found" – A strong secondary option if Quantity isn’t available.

How to Roll Tablets Efficiently

• Transmute Magic Tablets – Start with Orb of Transmutation.

• Augment for Extra Mods – Use Orb of Augmentation to add a second modifier.

• Filter for Desirable Mechanics – Prioritize tablets that enhance Breach, Expedition, or Ritual.

• Once rolled, apply Distilled Paranoia for extra rare monsters, further increasing loot potential.

Step 3: Infinite Strongroom Farming

A critical trick for sustaining high-value runs is avoiding Strongroom completion.

How It Works

Enter the Strongroom and clear it normally.

Open the final chest (this drops the bulk of loot).

DO NOT pick up the Bloody Relic (or equivalent quest item).

Leave Dungeon (press H) → Reset Dungeon → Repeat.

This allows infinite runs without consuming additional keys or resources.

Best Strongroom Layouts

Quad-Tower Clusters – Offer the highest density and loot potential.

T16 Influence – Doubles the number of irradiated maps in range.

Step 4: Atlas Passive Tree Optimization

The right passive setup amplifies loot exponentially. Key nodes include:

Essential Allocations

"Shaping the Mountains" – Boosts map modifier effectiveness.

"Twisted Mentorship" – Duplicates rare monsters for more loot.

"Grand Design" – Increases pack size, compounding rewards.

Mechanic-Specialized Nodes

Breach/Expedition/Ritual – If focusing on these mechanics, allocate their respective clusters.

"Secret Operations" (Expedition) – Improves logbook drop rates.

"Ritual Revival" – Enhances Ritual rewards.

2. POE 2 Best Endgame Atlas Tree

Divines (Divine Orbs) are one of the most valuable currencies in Path of Exile 2, essential for high-end crafting and trading.  To farm Divines effectively, focus on maximizing quantity, rarity, and pack size modifiers. Exploit infinite resets and tablet buffs. Prioritize rare monsters, explicit modifiers, and league mechanics that drop Divines. Sustain T15+ maps with high monster density.

Step 1: Map Setup for Divine Farming

Best Map Modifiers

• Increased Item Quantity (directly boosts Divine drop chances)

• Increased Item Rarity (improves odds of high-tier currency)

• Pack Size (more monsters = more loot)

• Additional Rare Monsters (scales with Atlas passives)

How to Craft High-Value Maps

Start with Normal Maps → Use Orb of Alchemy + Omen of Sinestral Alchemy (guarantees 3 strong prefixes).

Upgrade Magic Maps → Apply Regal Orb + Omen of Sinestral Regal (adds another good prefix).

Exalt Slam for Perfection → Use Omen of Sinestral Exalt on well-rolled rares.

Corrupt for Extra Mods → Vaal Orbs can add modifiers (but risk bricking).

Avoid:

Modifiers that cripple your build (e.g., No Regen, Extra Elemental Damage).

Overly difficult suffixes (e.g., Monster Accuracy, Chaos Damage).

Step 2: Strongroom & Tablet Optimization

Infinite Strongroom Farming Trick

1. Enter Strongroom and clear it.

2. Open the final chest (loot drops here).

3. DO NOT pick up the Bloody Relic (or equivalent quest item).

4. Leave Dungeon → Reset Dungeon → Repeat indefinitely.

Best Tablet Mods for Divines

"Quantity of Items Found" (6%+) – Best for raw currency drops.

"Rarity of Items Found" – Improves unique/rare drops.

Breach/Expedition/Ritual Tablets – These mechanics drop Divines frequently.

How to Roll Tablets:

Transmute → Augment (to make them Magic).

Filter for Quantity/Rarity and desired mechanics.

Use "Distilled Paranoia" (adds rare monsters for more loot).

Step 3: Atlas Passive Tree for Divine Farming

Essential Nodes

"Shaping the Mountains" – Boosts map modifiers (more Quantity/Pack Size).

"Twisted Mentorship" – Duplicates rare monsters (more loot explosions).

"Grand Design" – Increases pack size (scales with other bonuses).

"Remnants of Power" – 20% chance to double tablet effects (huge for loot).

Mechanic-Specific Nodes (Choose 1-2)

Expedition – Logbooks drop Divines frequently.

Ritual – Ritual rewards can grant Divines.

Breach – High monster density = more currency drops.

Step 4: Farming Tactics for Maximum Divines

Best League Mechanics for Divines

Expedition (Tujen & Dannig) – Tujen’s shop sells Divines.

Ritual – Rewards often include raw Divines.

Breach – High monster count = more currency drops.

Delirium (Mirrors) – Pack size + currency rewards.

Optimal Map Tier & Layouts

T15+ Maps – Higher tiers = better loot.

Dense Layouts (e.g., Beach, Strand) – Faster clearing = more drops/hour.

Group vs. Solo Play

Solo: Focus on Expedition & Ritual.

Group: Stack Breach & Delirium for maximum loot scaling.
