Video summary
How to Farm Heart of the Well Diamonds for HUGE PROFITS!
Main summary
Key takeaways
Storyline / Context
- The video takes place in Path of Exile 2 endgame mapping, focused on farming Abyssal Rogue Exiles that drop Heart of the Well (Hard of the Well / diamonds).
- The creator treats the farm like a high-gambling loop:
- Sustain maps
- Spawn Rogue Exiles through Abyss content
- Sell the resulting Heart of the Well diamonds for profit (either identified or unidentified)
Gameplay Highlights (What the farm is doing)
- Runs maps to trigger Abyssal content and spawn multiple Rogue Exiles.
- Highlight clips show landing multiple Abyssal Rogue Exiles in the same map (2+ in one map, then even a third).
- The core goal is consistent extraction of Heart of the Well drops and selling them for profit.
Key Strategies / Setup
1) Atlas setup (Rogue Exile / Abyss-focused)
- The creator says the atlas isn’t min-maxed for pure div/hr, but for “fun per hour.”
- Required Atlas pieces (must-have concepts):
- Increased chance of Rogue Exiles appearing on maps.
- Increased effect of your tablets.
Optional / convenience nodes
- Two nodes are mentioned as not strictly necessary, but they may help with Headhunter-type drops (utility flavor).
Abyss-specific pathing recommendation (specific loop)
- “Loop all the way down to the top … and get Shadow of Death” to increase the number/frequency of Abyss-influenced Rogue Exiles.
“Out of the Pit” (explicitly recommended)
- Increases Abyss monster effectiveness and causes mobs to spawn more often.
- Helps with better Abyss enemy drops (including Abyssal Echo and Omens of Light) by leveraging enemies associated with Ainamu’s void-style mechanics (luring them out to improve rewards).
2) Tablet setup (minimum rules)
Minimum requirement
- Run at least 3 Abyss tablets
- Each must have the stat: “+1 Rogue Exile” / “inhabited by an additional rogue exile”
Why 3 matters
- The creator claims 1 or 2 such tablets performs “really, really bad.”
- They tested alternatives (e.g., one Abyss tablet plus Ritual/Delirium tablets with the same +1 line) and found drastically worse Heart of the Well rates.
Reported yield rates
- With 3 Abyss tablets (+1 each): about 1 Heart of the Well every 3–4 maps (roughly averaged).
- With mixed tablet setups (1 Abyss + other types, even with +1): reported around 1 per ~30 maps in their testing.
Optional upgrades (more Abysses)
- Extra tablet lines like “additional Abyss” / “contains additional Abysses” can further improve results, but are described as expensive.
- The creator treats these as optional, not core.
3) Tablet marketplace search optimization (how they shop)
They describe a filtering method on trade:
- Search for Abyss Precursor Tablet
-
Filter by item stats and keep only the line:
- “adds a … to the maps with number of use remaining” (their line-filter wording)
-
Specifically keep items where the +1 Rogue Exile line has high uses remaining (example: minimum 10).
They also compare currency efficiency:
- They find Chaos orbs → Exalted equivalent pricing is cheaper than buying with Exalts directly.
- They suggest checking multiple price bases (Chaos/Exalt/anoint-like cost) to ensure best cost.
4) Strategy reasoning: why map choice doesn’t matter much
- The creator disputes the idea that “covering more map area with Abyss holes” increases Rogue Exile spawn chance.
- Their hypothesis:
- Rogue Exile-in-Abyss is determined more like a probability event—it either spawns inside Abyss or not, regardless of Abyss surface area.
- Adding “additional Abyss” increases chance (conceptually, e.g., 1/6 to 2/6, etc.).
Practical takeaway
- Map type doesn’t matter much: “Run any map.”
- The probability scaling comes mainly from additional Abyss / tablet modifiers, not map tileset.
Profit / Economy Plan
Selling Heart of the Well (identified vs un-IDed)
- The creator sells mostly Heart of the Well diamonds.
- Values mentioned:
- Unidentified: often around ~3 div each (with wide range depending on roll quality).
- Identified: can range from <1 div (garbage) up to 20–40+ div (great rolls).
Claimed profitability example
- Tablet cost: about ~1 div for sets of 3.
- If you average 1 Heart per 3 runs, that’s ~3 Heart returns.
- At ~3 div each un-ID, they estimate ~9 div back from a ~1 div investment (before considering identification losses/gains and variance).
Heart of the Well Rolling / Identified-value strategy
What stats matter most
- They only enable/target certain rolls using Abyssal Echoes.
- Typically need only ~2 Abyssal Echoes per Heart.
- Priority damage/element types:
- Best: Lightning (highest priority), then Cold
- Also good: Chaos
- Premium but lower priority: Fire
- They emphasize that Hard of the Wild Diamonds (Heart of the Well item) can roll these elements on limited roll positions.
Recommended rolling procedure (step-by-step)
-
Step 1: Gather
- Heart of the Well
- Abyssal Echoes (~2 per Heart is enough, per their claim)
-
Step 2: Focus enabling Abyssal Echo on roll windows
- Explanation: there are 4 rolls total (2 prefixes + 2 suffixes/unique conceptually).
- Best damage lines can only appear on the first and last roll.
-
Step 3: Roll order usage
- Roll #1: Enable Abyssal Echo
- If it hits a desirable element/damage line, keep going for value.
- Roll #2 and #3: roll normally without Abyssal Echo
- Roll #4 (last): use Abyssal Echo only if roll #1 was good
- If roll #1 was a dud, they suggest often not investing Echo later.
- Roll #1: Enable Abyssal Echo
-
Step 4: Accept variance
- They show multiple duds for demonstration.
- If the Heart rolls poorly, they plan to sell it for less than a divine and move on.
Key Tips / Takeaways
- Minimum tablet rule is crucial: 3 Abyss tablets with +1 Rogue Exile each.
- Map type is not important; probability is driven by tablet/Abyss modifiers.
- Expect gambling variance: sometimes you hit high-value diamonds, sometimes you get low rolls.
- For maximizing item value when identifying:
- Use ~2 Abyssal Echoes per Heart
- Place Echo on the rolls where the best damage elements can occur (first and last, conditional on early roll success).
