💰 How i farm currency to make end game builds? This method works all the time! I farm most of my currency from farming tier 15-16 maps and killing Conquerors&Sirus along the way.Most people still have no clue on how to juice&farm red maps.I have a guide on my channel that i prepared couple of leagues ago so if you don't know how to make currency,watch that carefully and you'll start printing exalts soon enough.

If you're crazy, you can play this as league starter.I haven't tested it so not gonna prepare leveling trees. Mortem morsu claws should carry a couple of acts. In 3.18 Sentinel patch, GGG didn't buff or nerf anything. Any POB that has 3.17 tree is ready to go. You don't need to wait for 3.18 update.
