Each bonus objective you complete will award one point to spend on your Atlas passive tree.

For most of the endgame, its really that simple.

Run more maps, progress up the new Atlas, and boost your maps through the tree.

Mercifully, respecing the Atlas passive tree is very straightforward.

It is feasible to change trees and strategies multiple times throughout a league if you desire.

However, you should stick with a plan early on to avoid wasting orbs on unecessary respecs.

Below well break down some of the best options for new characters and players.

An Atlas passive tree using Essence and Harvest nodes

You get the idea.

Harvest and Essence should be the go to combination for players who like to craft their own gear.

Both mechanics add monsters to the map, and good Shrine RNG can actually help you clear faster.

There are even builds out there that use the Gull unique helmet to stack Shrine buffs and blast maps.

You will likely skip the Stronbox node “Tamper Proof” now.

Expedition

Expedition remains one of the most valuable league mechanics to farm for easily tradeable items.

If you want a mechanic that generates easy to sell items, Expedition is for you.

Expedition has also gained some value due to the Exalted-Divine price swap.

Rog is also great for early-league crafting, helping Expedition mesh with the nearby Harvest nodes.

Plus, Beyond monsters now drop the old Tainted currencies from Scourge league, adding more value per monster.

Delirium boosts density further and compounds off of the extra monsters from Beyond to create some really crazy maps.

Just be aware that you need a solid character to handle high-tier Delirium and Beyond content.

Pick your preferred influence, spec into these nodes, and blast away.

Be aware that the keystone nodes at the bottoms of these wheels, while powerful, are extremely dangerous.

Avoid these unless you have a very strong character or don’t care about dying.

This is about as straightforward as it sounds.

Double check that you aren’t accidently running Ubers before your character is ready.

That’s all it takes to get started with the new Atlas passive tree in Path Of Exile!
