i think it's worth noting that a 132/132 atlas tree is very unrealistic for early league. unless they changed it you still have to do tough content like the Feared invitation to get all your points. i usually only plan about 120-128 point trees because the last few nodes are extremely tough to get, especially on leaguestart. that being said, i love where you're going with things and I'm probably gonna be basing my early trees off of your 2nd or 3rd suggestions!
100% agree and i think, these trees are only when you farming red maps. I think for the first day, you need to focus on all map nodes + kirac nodes to avoid to be out of map.
If you haven't checked it out yet, you might try Path of Pathing for your atlas trees. It can export to poeplanner, but it allows you to do things like clicking on the Blight symbol to turn on all blight nodes with the best pathing possible, and as you add other things, it will adapt the tree to be as efficient as possible.
2:30 Just a quick note here, that only applies to maps you reroll with Explorer's Scouting Report (Which is the most common scouting report and are usually pretty plentiful), not all Kirac missions, otherwise though kirac missions are still great as they do often give uncompleted maps anyway. Can just save the scouting reports when you're almost done and get last few maps with those. Poorly formatted thoughts from me but I hope you got the point
For me, it will be a map sustain with kirac nodes and betrayal (because quite a lot of craft recipes needed for RF are from Betrayal). But, because Catarina chances to drops a veiled chaos increases with map tier, this one will be the third one in the list after maps and kirac.
It should be noted that with the first tree, you get a 110% chance for a sacred grove, this lets you unspec the harvest chance node near crop rotation giving you two extra points!
I've always shied away from expedition, but with the Kalguur tie in I think I'm going to finally learn it and league start. Also going bleed Glad. Looking forward to seeing how your build comes together
@@JanPapiezGaming If it's fun for the person doing it, then it isn't a waste of time. Not everybody has the mindset of needing to make the most currency in the shortest amount of time. Which is something you'd understand if you took the time to think about how other people might view things :D
For me i am going to bee line for beast into essences into maps with a side of scarabs. With the 6L beast in the normal pool i feel like it's going to be very profitable. Also with the atlas runners in the league mech i feel like maps are going to be expensive and being able to sell high end essences on a trade market is going to insane.
I will be going with Kirac, map sustain and Blight. I really want to try the newly buffed Blight. Also my starting build will be a ignite explody build, which is great for Blight.
I like Harvest to even though i liked the old harvest better (More Recipe options). Harbingers to so you can exchange/swap maps perhaps even fracture orb or remove an affix. Strongbox get some kool stuff and div cards. Delve always fun.Shrines i never touched but seems pretty fun so might try em at some point. Beyond for tainted currency and altering uniques seems interesting, and Safhouses are kool. Beast's have some interesting recipes to. Ritual Kinda quick and fun but nodes are far away. I want everything lol
Haven't thought too hard about it tbh, but I just like Expedition, didn't start it last league, I'm thinking about doing it this league. Combining that with Harvest might end up being my play. Especially because I want to do a SSF-lite league where I only trade currency with the market, and find the gear myself, since last league I burned out on trade, but that new market kinda makes it illegal to not go trade this league just to try it.
You read my mind this league, Harvest looks like it'll be a ton of fun with a good melee build! Though Blight in my opinion looks really good as well, though I love tower defense so I might be biased lol
I'm dropping Expedition for the first time in.. well since the Atlas Skill Tree came out. My build just isn't going to have a great time doing it. (Dual Strike of Ambidexterity Jugg) Still love the mechanic to death though, but I'm actually going to have single target for once so definitely taking Essences and probably lots of Betrayal for a chance at Paradoxica. Oh and the bossing stuff of course.
for basic currency and stack decks, i play heist, i know most hate it, and for my atlas, im going heist, harvest and expedition, heist for basic like i said, harvest for like tri said crafting and selling in bulk for divines and expedition for both basic and big drops.
@@Jstrick9x One good advice he gave was to stick with Atlas mechanics that play to the strength of your build. I am not sure if that applies to Harvest, where monsters spawn in waves so if you kill the first two waves, the tough opponents from T3 seeds will take ages to finish. Maybe he plans to tank attacks until all monsters spawn and clear them at once with bleed pops? Maybe, he never explained it. The bigger problem with early Harvest strategy is that it gives much much more lifeforce in higher tier maps, scales with quantity and pack size. So if you are first to low tier maps, you'll have no buyers, if you're late, you'll have tough competition. He also mostly ignored Kirac missions and scouting reports, which are by far the best tool to expand Atlas completion. He also takes map tier nodes without adding extra monsters to the map. So this starting Atlas will provide you little currency, little crafting, and slow down yout map progression. On another Atlas, taking all map scaling passives with Destructive Play is just counter-productive. Better Atlas trees for the leaguestart can be found from veteran players like Zizaran who thinks deeply about advice he gives, or from players who competed in recent race event (Jungroan's 4 watchstone race)

100% fair! This is probably the only tree I'm gonna post, I'll work toward it!

Thanks! I am using your #2 & #3 trees. Doing good so far, keep up the content!

expedition is a waste of time in sc trade beside early rog

Thank you for this breakdown of early league Atlas

Also with the atlas runners in the league mech i feel like maps are going to be expensive and being able to sell high end essences on a trade market is going to insane.
Noice! However, I'd grab the Kirac nodes and Betrayal early on for crafting recipes more quickly. And like someone else said, 132/132 is a bit much.
Good call!
I will be going with Kirac, map sustain and Blight. I really want to try the newly buffed Blight. Also my starting build will be a ignite explody build, which is great for Blight.
Will craft em on the spot as always
I like Harvest to even though i liked the old harvest better (More Recipe options). Harbingers to so you can exchange/swap maps perhaps even fracture orb or remove an affix.

Great guide! Thanks Tri
My pleasure!
You could save a few points if you took the lower portal keystone to get the left map nodes easier :)
Travel nodes are strong in early league where two points into portals gives you nothing.
First atlas missing three small map nodes below the quant wheel if ya wanna pick ‘em up too
WHAT ARE YOU ATLAS PLANS? REJOICE...3.25 IN 3 DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS!
Pure deli until a good Voices decides to drop and then searing exarch farming until max rolled Dissolution of the Flesh and War of Attrition FF jewel.
Going blight with all the changes. Easy free currency with meteor towers
oo new vid, new atlas starter
for basic currency and stack decks, i play heist, i know most hate it, and for my atlas, im going heist, harvest and expedition, heist for basic like i said, harvest for like tri said crafting and selling in bulk for divines and expedition for both basic and big drops.
will the ability to have 3 atlas trees still be in the up coming league?
Does the scarab that makes map bosses steal and duplicate div cards work of multiple bosses for destructive play ?
Doubt it. I assume only the "main" boss steals the cards and other ones just get summoned, they're not exact copies
Didn’t destructively play get nerfed into the ground this league? I thought that I saw it was only a 20% chance to proc or something
That's just how it is on the Ruthless tree
Test of Loyalty out performs Intelligence Gathering. Or take both.
best vid
There is no perfect Atlas Tree ever since they removed Metamorph from it 😭
Yes this is a joke and yes I am still coping 🤣
rejoice nom mad
Lots of words said, not very good advice for Atlas trees.
I completely agree, I seriously can’t tell if this is satire or he’s never played the game before?
He explained the trees lol. Also, why isn't this good advice? Got better league trees?
