What is Map Juicing?

Map juicing is the process of stacking map modifiers (via currency, Delirium orbs, etc.) to create the best possible maps to run. By “best” we mean:

• Maximized item quantity and quality
  
• Safety from lethal modifiers

---

Criteria for the Best Maps

Optimize Looting and Safety:

• Looting: Maximize the quantity and quality of items dropped.
  
• Safety: Avoid any dangerous map mods that could cause deaths.

T16 Maps:
These let you access level 82+ areas, which is vital for:

• Consistent ilvl 82 item drops
  
• Crafting high‐end gear (ilvl 84 for top‐tier mods)
  
• Some high‐level bases can sell for 20–60 ex

Delirious Maps:

• Adds free Simulacrum splinters and other Delirium rewards.

Use Affordable Oils:

• Guilt – Increases pack size
  
• Greed – Adds item rarity
  
• Paranoia – Adds rare monsters

Key Stats for Ideal Maps

• T16 Maps with:
  
  1. 20–25% Quantity of Items
     
  2. 140%+ Rarity of Items
     
  3. 60%+ Increased Rare Monsters
• No lethal or “build‐killing” modifiers.
  
• Such maps can sell for 1–2 div (slow) or 70+ ex (instant).

Crafting Process for Juiced Maps

1) Start with T15 Maps

1. Normal Quality: Use Orb of Alchemy.
   
2. Magic Quality: Use Orb of Augmentation + Regal Orb.
   
3. Result: Rare maps with at least 3 modifiers.

2) Filter Maps

• Remove maps with:
  
  1. "Increased Gold Modifier"
     
  2. Any lethal modifiers for your build
• Prioritize maps with Rarity or Rarity + Quantity modifiers.

3) Upgrade Maps with Exalts

1. Use Exalted Orbs for more mods.
   
2. Stop if you roll:
   
   • Dangerous mods
     
   • "Gold" modifier
3. Discard any bricked or unsafe maps; they’re not worth running.

4) Add Delirium

1. Apply Delirium orbs before corrupting.
   
2. Choose Oils to fill gaps or push specific stats further.

5) Corrupt the Map

• Potentially upgrades to T16.
  
• Adds or changes modifiers.
  
• Some maps can brick or lose tier.

Stats from 1400 Maps

Before Exalt Saturation:

• ~35% of maps are “safe” (contain Rarity or Quantity + Rarity mods).

After Exalt Saturation:

• “Safe” maps drop to ~27.5%.

Corruption Results (sample size: 387 maps):

1. No Effect: 104 maps (~26.9%)
   
2. Lost Tier: 48 maps (~12.4%)
   
3. All Prefix Mods: 40 maps (~10.3%)
   • Only 8 did NOT have the "Gold" modifier
   
4. All Suffix Mods: 41 maps (~10.6%)
   • Only 2 were “safe”
   
5. Added Modifiers: 112 maps (~28.9%)
   • 9 had lethal or “Gold” mods
   
6. Increased Tier (T16): 42 maps (~10.8%)
   • 7 had Quantity + Rarity
   • 35 had Rarity only

Economy of Juicing Maps

Cost Breakdown for 100 Maps:

Base Cost:
• 100 maps @ 1.5 ex each = 150 ex
• 100 Alchemy Orbs = 25 ex

Saturating Maps:
• ~35 maps ready for Exalts: 2 ex each = 70 ex
• ~27 remain after filtering

Delirium + Vaal:
• ~3 ex/map for Delirium = 80–90 ex total
• 27 Vaal Orbs = 3 ex

TOTAL ≈ 330 ex (2.2 div)

Potential Profit (per 100 Maps):

• Perfect T16 Maps: ~3 maps @ 1–2 div each = 3–6 div
  
• T15 Maps with 2 Mods: ~3 maps @ 20–30 ex each
  
• All Suffix Maps: ~3 maps @ 10 ex each
  
• Other T15: ~10 maps @ 2–10 ex each
  
• Lower-tier maps: ~2 ex each

Estimated overall profit: ~4–10 div (subject to market trends)

Summary

Key Takeaways:

1. ~3% of maps become “perfect” for max looting.
   
2. ~15% of maps remain good for general farming.
   
3. All-prefix maps without "Gold" can shine for stacked Breach encounters.

TL;DR:
• Focus on T16 maps with safe, rewarding mods
• Invest in Delirium, Oils, and corrupt wisely
• Expect high variance and potential big gains
• Good luck and happy mapping!
