Help a friend?

[CreamyPilk]

My friend and I have been playing POE for league or two now. We would get decently into end game and be having fun. This league though, even with the drop changes I've been doing fairly okay. Getting about 1 divine a day (or on a good day 3 divines, with 0% item rarity). My friend on the other hand cannot get anything more than a few drops of chaos and the rare divine, so it is hard for him to get the currencies to further the build (Even with me selling items for him through my premium tabs). I'm focusing mainly on mapping, rituals and grinding out uber elders when I can. He is running delve and mapping. I understand i'm doing a bit more higher tier actives as I have been able to further my build, but is there any advice I can give to help him?

Thanks!

Side note, he is also doing heists as well.

What lvl maps is he up to? is he juicing the maps he can clear easily?
Delve is really good but it doesn't have those random events around.

He is running tier 16's, he finally just got his first void stone from the exarch. So minimal juicing, between some scarabs, 1 void stone and of course alch'ing maps for rarity and quantity. He also has about 50ish item rarity in his build.

How much of a difference in atlas points do you guys have? Perhaps you’re speccd more optimally than him?

Focus on getting upto Tier 14-16 Maps while completing the Atlas/Quest lines. Having a well optimised character also really helps, It may not be an interesting build to play but I'd recommend Toxic Rain Raider / Scourge Arrow Raider or Bane Occultist. Having a build that can farm comfortably is important so you can better gear your next character.

Here's some nodes I highly recommend picking up on the Atlas Skill Tree:
All of the Strongbox Nodes besides Concealed Logistics.
All of the Shrine Nodes besides All That Glitters unless you're fine with the debuff.
Stream of Consciousness Keystone (50% more base content nuff said)
Trial of Glory (Tells you when it provides an improved offering from the door)
I personally hate farming Essences as you need a very large bulk of them, I highly recommend either Ritual and or Blight.

Once you're upto only killing pinnacle bosses for Maven, I'd recommend focusing on Eldritch farming, Having both Eldritch Gaze and Wrath of the Cosmos Keystones if your build is able to handle it is a great addition to generating tons of raw drops. Pick whatever Eldritch influence you'd like to farm and pick up the according node The Light of the Dawn or The Shadow of Hunger. I hope this helps, There's tons more information to provide but I'll let you digest this first.

I have all my base atlas points, plus 3-4ish of the points received from Maven. He I think has 109 out of the base 115. I have also followed an atlas guide for rituals. I think he has gone off on his own for the atlas tree. Ill try to suggest looking at some atlas guides.

Thank you Nebularity for all the helpful pointers to give to him!
