Abyss

This setup farms Abyss maps with Abyss Tablets, rarity-focused Waystones, and cleansed-area pathing. Unlike Breach, this Abyss version does not need Monster Effectiveness as a main Atlas choice. Use rarity, useful biome choice nodes, and Abyss-specific reward choices instead.

Overview

Abysses are moving monster encounters that can open pits and lead into Abyssal Depths. This farm is built around increasing reward quality from Abyss monsters and pushing the Abyss tree toward Omens and Desecrated Currency.

The ideal version runs Abyss in cleansed areas after defeating the Nexus in a corrupted area. Cleansed-area value is the main reason to choose the map; biome choices such as Forest, Ezomyte City, Mountain, and Grass are bonus layers when they overlap with a cleansed target.

How to Access Abyss

Use Abyss Tablets on the map nodes you plan to run. Abyss Tablets add Abysses to affected maps and have 10 uses.

Prioritize corrupted areas you can cleanse and run efficiently. Forest, City, Mountain, and Grass areas are better when they line up with that plan, but the cleansed area matters more than the biome bonus.

Atlas Master

Choose Doryani for this version of the farm. The recommended Doryani route is the top-left box cluster:

Doryani point	Use in this setup
Evolutionary Pressure	Adds Item Rarity, Monster Effectiveness, and rare monster modifier chance per explicit modifier on the map. The Item Rarity line supports the Abyss reward plan.
Stitch the Flesh	Your maps have an additional Revival. This is the safety pick while learning or pushing expensive maps.
Disengaged Safeties	Map areas are Irradiated. Use it when your character can handle the added pressure.
Improved Calibration	Waystones have 25% more effect of Prefix Modifiers or Suffix Modifiers when opening maps. This makes strong rarity Waystones scale better.

Atlas Tree

The main Atlas tree should support rarity, rare monsters, and extra Tablet coverage. Treat biome choice nodes as bonuses on top of cleansed areas, not as the reason to skip a better cleansed target. Do not set these choices to Monster Effectiveness for this Abyss setup.

Main Atlas choice	Recommendation
The Journey Ahead	Select 10% increased Rarity of Items found.
Forest Mastery	Select 15% increased Rare Monsters in Forest Areas. Forest is one of the better biome targets for this setup.
History of the Ezomytes	Select Ezomyte Cities are also considered Grass Areas when using Ezomyte Cities for the four-Tablet setup.
Industrial Improvements	Use City maps for an optional fourth Tablet when the map is worth the extra investment.
Mountain Mastery	Mountain areas are usable when this is set to 6% increased Rarity of Items found in Mountain Areas.
Grass Mastery	Optional test value. The currency-upgrade options can be useful, but plain Grass areas are less compelling than Forests or strong City setups unless the upgrades prove worthwhile.

On the Abyss Atlas tree, take the choices that improve Omens, Desecrated Currency, Abyssal Depths, and the Abyss faction target.

Abyss tree choice	Recommendation
Balance of Power	Select Abyssal monsters are loyal to Amanamu for this Omen-focused setup.
Vile Treasures	Select 50% increased chance to find Abyss Omens.
Rotting Bones	Take this for 25% increased chance to find Ancient Desecrated Currency.
Abyssal Ire	Useful when farming higher-level maps because it gives Abyssal Depths in level 78+ areas a chance to contain a boss.
Lord of the Pit	Abyss Pits are scattered throughout Areas with Abysses and Abysses have a 20% chance to contain an additional Abyss are both acceptable. Choose based on which layout feels better for the character.

Tablets

Use three Abyss Tablets for the baseline setup. On City maps, use a fourth Tablet when Industrial Improvements is active and the map is worth the extra investment.

Priority	Modifier	Notes
Core prefix	(8—12)% increased Rarity of Items found in Map	Best Tablet prefix for the main version of the farm.
Budget prefix	Map has (15—20)% increased Monster Rarity	Swap to this when item rarity Tablets become too expensive.
Core suffix	(20—30)% increased chance for Abyssal monsters in Map to have Abyssal Modifiers	Main Abyss monster-value suffix.
Bonus suffix	(20—30)% increased chance for Desecrated Currency from Abysses in Map	Strong extra value when the Tablet price is reasonable.

Avoid paying for Monster Effectiveness on Abyss Tablets for this setup. The farm is built around rarity, Abyssal Modifiers, Desecrated Currency, and Abyss Omens.

Waystones

Craft the Waystone for Item Rarity and Monster Rarity. This can be expensive per map, but the rarity rolls are a major part of why the farm works. For the full crafting logic, see Waystones.

Step	Currency	Action
1	Orb of Alchemy	Upgrade the Waystone to rare.
2	Exalted Orb	Add one modifier.
3	Exalted Orb	Add a second modifier.
4	Omen of Chaotic Quantity	Activate this before the Chaos Orb to block Pack Size.
5	Omen of Chaotic Effectiveness	Activate this before the Chaos Orb to block Monster Effectiveness.
6	Chaos Orb	Reroll while pushing toward Item Rarity and Monster Rarity.

The target result is a strong rare Waystone with Item Rarity and Monster Rarity. If the final map is too dangerous for the character, save the Tablet setup for a cleaner Waystone instead of forcing a bricked map.

Biomes

Area	Benefit
Cleansed areas	Most important target after defeating the Nexus in the corrupted area. Run Abyss in cleansed maps first, then use biome bonuses to choose between similar targets.
Forest areas	Bonus layer when Forest Mastery is set to 15% increased Rare Monsters in Forest Areas.
Ezomyte Cities set to Grass	Strong bonus overlap when History of the Ezomytes makes Ezomyte Cities also count as Grass Areas. This combines City Tablet value with Grass currency-upgrade testing.
City maps	Bonus high-investment target because City maps can use a fourth Tablet with Industrial Improvements.
Mountain areas	Bonus option when Mountain Mastery is set to 6% increased Rarity of Items found in Mountain Areas.
Grass areas	Optional test bonus. Grass only adds currency-upgrade value here, so it may be good but should not outrank cleansed-area priority without testing.

Recommended Strategy

Step	Action	Notes
1	Path toward corrupted areas in Forest, City, Mountain, or other valuable target areas.	The goal is to cleanse useful maps, not to spend the setup on the first corrupted area available.
2	Defeat the Nexus in the corrupted area.	This unlocks the cleansed-area version of the farm.
3	Place three Abyss Tablets on the target maps.	Use a fourth Tablet on City maps when the map is worth it.
4	Craft a rarity Waystone.	Use the Alchemy, two Exalts, Omen of Chaotic Quantity, Omen of Chaotic Effectiveness, then Chaos Orb process.
5	Run the Abysses fully.	Clear the encounter, follow the Abyss path, and take Abyssal Depths when they appear.
6	Prioritize the Omen and Depths outcomes.	The main targets are Omen of Light, Omen of Abyssal Echoes, Ancient Desecrated Currency, and Kulemak’s Invitation.

Rewards and Profit

Loot	Notes
Omen of Light	Primary Omen target.
Omen of Abyssal Echoes	Primary Omen target.
Ancient Desecrated Currency	Supported by Rotting Bones and the Desecrated Currency Tablet suffix.
Raw currency	Scales with rarity Waystones, cleansed-area value, and Grass currency-upgrade options.
Kulemak’s Invitation	Valuable side drop from Abyssal Depths.

The exact market value depends heavily on Omen, Desecrated Currency, Tablet, and Waystone-crafting prices. Check the market before buying item rarity Abyss Tablets in bulk; Monster Rarity Tablets are the fallback when item rarity gets too expensive.

Common Mistakes and Tips

Mistake	Fix
Setting The Journey Ahead to Monster Effectiveness.	Use rarity on The Journey Ahead for this Abyss setup.
Buying expensive item rarity Tablets without checking alternatives.	Swap the Tablet prefix to Monster Rarity when the item rarity premium gets too high.
Spending the setup before cleansing a good target area.	Path toward useful corrupted areas first, defeat the Nexus, then run Abyss in the cleansed maps.
Ignoring City maps.	Use Cities for a fourth Tablet when Industrial Improvements is active and the map quality justifies the extra Tablet.
Treating profit as fixed.	Omen, invitation, currency, and Tablet prices can move quickly. Recheck the market before bulk buying.
