I have been running +15 or more packsize yellow maps since the first week of the league.

I have two red maps. I ran a third.

Three red maps drops all league.

Just buy some red maps lol. You can get a good bit for 2-3 exa and build from there.

Or t11's

I haven't seen a single red map drop since they changed map drops, the highest i've had this league is a Tier 11

I know red maps are supposed to be "endgame content" but the drop rate is still ridiculous.

Why should I have to buy them to experience them. They aren't a high end item that will make me a game breaking build and there is literally ZERO chance I will make the currency back spent on it. I build my own map pool and I don't even buy them from zana.

I don't even consider t12 red maps because they are all just old t1-t2.

So if you really think about it. I got 1 red map all league. Crema boss dropped me a single courtyard map when I did 6 40 pack 100 rarity 11s in a row one day.

It should not be that hard to get into the lowest tier of end game content. And yes I know. Just rng.

This is poe deal with it. end of story
Not hard to sustain red tbh, i dont often buy
plus now u hav maps from zana

Red maps are EASY as heck to sustain.. leveling 2x 100 and 1x 98 this league so far and I can say that its not hard at all.

It was easier with domination, but onslaught isn't a bad mod to farm it.

What I do:

Chisel
Alch

you get 2 options:
If double pack size 90%+ Quantity, run with onslaught
If not, Either vaal it or chaos spam it and run with onslaught.

this

for me i am a bit more frugal and if i get 1 pack size on t11-13 i just vaal orb it (except waterways which i make sure to double packsize since i feel like it has the most density out of all t13 maps, very good exp)
also I started tormenting a few maps to see if any good results, so far I been tormenting palace maps with double packsize with great return in maps (torment v good in lot of open space densed maps in my experience so far)

6 min - 5 red maps or so. It really isn't hard, the only hard thing is knowing what mods to roll on your maps.

EDIT: I didn't feel like making a new VOD so I used one from earlier this month

EDIT 2: The best way to sustain red maps is to sell other maps. While leveling past 93, you really don't want to run t8-t10's unless desirable tile setting. So why not use 2 public stash. Have one with each type of maps to sell, set note for ~b/o x chaos, have X amount. And stock the other one in another tabs. I've easily made over 30-40exa this league selling t8-t10's alone since the start. Later on, I sell t13's that I don't like for speed running.
Maps like excavation, core, abyss - low exp/bad tile setting maps.

This game's made pretty easy to solo to 100 and sustain red maps and people are still crying. It isn't hard, just adapt.

Sustaining maps is a joke compared to 2 years ago. Lvl74+ maps were x100 harder to sustain

I am running onslaught and its been nothing but a further waste of currency.

Need to buy more mtx.
