Stacked Deck Ritual Farming in Jungle Valley

Overview

The creator of the strategy farms Stacked Decks in eight-mod Jungle Valley maps, using Divination Scarabs of the Cloister together with Ritual to kill the same packs twice. Stacked Decks are the only real payout — everything else in the setup exists to increase pack size or to let the same monsters die a second time.

Setup

• Scarabs: five Divination Scarabs of the Cloister. The whole point is stacking as many monster packs as possible; those monsters drop Stacked Decks on death.
• Map: Jungle Valley, eight modifiers, 40%+ pack size, T16. Jungle Valley is preferred because it has no map boss, so Altars cannot roll boss-related mods and are far more likely to offer the duplicate-currency mod instead.
• Altars: either colour works. Stacked Decks count as basic currency, not divination cards, so the "currency dropped by enemies has a chance to be duplicated" Altar mod applies to them. The divination-card duplication mod does not.

For buying maps, the creator uses a trade search filtered to T16 with 40%+ pack size and a regex that excludes unwanted mods. The warning attached to it: confirm the listed price really is what you expect before buying, since a trusted filter makes it easy to click through a scam listing.

Atlas

Ritual is the core — respawned monsters drop Stacked Decks again. Shrines are worth taking with spare points because eight-mod maps get dangerous, but shrines do not increase Stacked Deck yield. Nothing that adds monster types helps; only pack size matters. The divination card nodes do not affect Stacked Decks at all, though the creator still takes them for incidental value.

Running It

Walk in, kill everything, do the Ritual, leave. The creator is explicit about not lingering in the Ritual window — scan it, glance at jewels, move on. Time spent evaluating low-value items is the main way this strategy loses money.

Eight-mod maps with pack size are genuinely rippy. Consider avoiding extra projectiles and reduced maximum resistances if your build is not comfortable.

Yield varies. Over two days the creator averaged around 60 Stacked Decks per map, occasionally 70. Bugged Rituals happen, and a bad map roughly offsets a good one.

Budget Alternatives

For players who cannot afford the scarab setup, the creator offers two lower-cost options from the same video, both built on the league's chart mechanic:

• Run the charts. Alch a map, run in circles, click everything, leave. Roughly 2 chaos of input per map. The big-ticket drop is Message in a Bottle at around 40 chaos, appearing about once every five maps. The creator's blunt advice: sell these rather than opening them.
• Sell the charts. Do not run the mechanic at all — pick up charts and list them. Ordinary charts go for around 5 chaos, and uniquely named ones can be worth multiple divines. A ~2.5 minute map returned about 9–10 chaos of charts. Red Altars and a fast clear are all this needs; Mercenaries are optional and the creator skips them as too slow to kill.
