Has anyone done low LVL map farming before?

I've been doing quite a lot of it lately.

I'll reroll my char and do about 2-3 maps until lvl 4/5 and then reroll

I'm mostly looking for + 20 level cap maps with mods. Evil well maps are nice too.

I just finished a +25 level cap Tier 3 map with 18% monster difficulty and found some nice items.

Just wondering if anyone else has done something like this or similar?

I do this a lot. I am usually looking for those t1-t3 maps with wells or guild point %.

Usually I keep rerolling until my mule or solo character gets +2 extra equipment slots for the maze objective.
I wouldn't do this just for the map drop alone. From my experience and the maps I’ve received in return, this isn’t really worth the time that could be better spent exploring higher levels.
If you’re desperate to find these kinds of maps that’s a different story.

Has anyone tried this strategy?
A level 30 leader teams up with four high-level characters to speed-clear the map. The leader doesn’t fight but just drives , while the others clear the cata quickly. With the maximum/minimum room size set by the level 30 leader, you can repeatedly farm level 30-sized catacombs and get five maps per run.
maybe you could farm lvl ~35+ maps?
if you dont have bigger rooms -> next game

This would be best bang for your buck for sure, but I play solo self found chars only right now.
Not buying anything from market.
My strategy seems to work for me for my type of play.



I awill aways get the +2 EES too when doing MQ.
I wish after like your 3rd map explore after rerolling you automatically got +2 slots. I did 12 rerolls once until I got +2

I normally never pick up any guild maps.
I'll start now and put them up for 1fg for you

So i explore till I get 2ees.
Then I whistle to lvl 6-8
Then I explore and collect maps till prolly 20s.
And then I'll run a GP map or whatever lvl 10 maps I've collected.

Once 30-35.. I explore catacombs cuz generally you finish close to 45-50. And a good map can drop
(Never fucking does but it can)

And then I'll explore the cata at 45-50 and try to get another map or i run a lvl 40-50 map with MD EPs or chests..

So I honestly only try to collect maps low level and lvl 35+ normally.

I do almost exactly this minus the GP maps when going to MQ.
And yes 9/10 times a tier 1 map drops exploring 30+ catacombs

I am the opposite of practicity I 100% explore Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way to mq lol I just can't help it xD but just like DerAmigo I remake until I get +2ees



LOL and I would complain when I have to reroll for the 5th time lmaoo

I have tested it out, HOWEVER, I do this to clear all the maps I have collected and in the hopes of finding more WHITE low tier items that I can put into a Well for Profs. This is harder to explain for me since my posts and ideas are viciously extensive and it becomes a Wall of Text to read. (TL;DR).

When hunting maps, you will get more whites than a normal catacomb at that level, also, the map dimension is SMALLER in comparison INCLUDING that YOU will NOT fall in a TRAPDOOR, UNLESS(UNLESS) you hit one of the Totems that CAN make you fall into a Trapdoor.

It is a process for ME... NOT YOU that I play this way.

Steps when using Maps and Re-rolling:

#1: what is YOUR purpose when doing this at low levels?
#2: can you USE this method for other gains, like Profs in another weapon @ your current level that has a Lower Rank etc.
.... NOTE: taking into account of #1 & 2, you could use this as an advantage while exploring lower level Maps = gaining prof in other weapons or charms.

Do you know the dimension(s) of that Map and the approximate character LEVEL you would reach completing them and the last spot = a Final Maps Chest and drop(s)?

Can you complete that Map utilizing the character level, drop quantity & quantity and also know how many tries you need to clear like a +5 Map Quantity of the same Modifiers before it is USELESS to continue forward exploring that type of map at your current level?


These are "FACTORS" to think about when you are "Map Clearing". You can use certain maps for certain objectives based on the level of the Map + using the /set xxx to either disable or enable (forgot the correct lingo for it) for like hunting Treasure Pest OR Soften the Sneaky Shell.

So, answer YOURSELF... "what is the reasoning for myself to clear lower Tier Maps and what I want to benefit from it?" ... then you ask yourself.... "Is it worthwhile?" ... now let us say, you have either ignored Tier III - Tier V White drops because it is below your station to collect for welling (where a Well can only be found in a Catacomb or a +X Well Map). Is it worth your time for your type of game style???

I can only answer for myself:

I like re-rolling for profs, maps make it easier for me to find whites, I collect those whites (Tier III+) when I explore a Catacomb and come across a Well even @ level 1, then I use strategy to keep the Well in game, level up to a Weapon/Cast charm Rank that is the lowest to benefit from that Well and use Tier III + items and so fourth, however, certain levels and Map/Catacomb dimensions can dictate my time and effort CLEARING either and what is best.

Hope it helps, however it is too long winded!
