Covens of Umbra League Start: Which Farms We Are Keeping

What changed, and what we did about it

Covens of Umbra changes the endgame a lot, so we checked every strategy on the site.

Covens of Umbra (3.30) is a big change for farming. The Atlas passive tree has been rebuilt from scratch. Scarabs are gone, and Threads have taken their place. Some pinnacle fights have changed too.

We went through every strategy on the site to see what still holds up. The rule was simple. If a farm can still be run the way it is written, it stays. If it cannot, we archive it for now. We would rather show you nothing than show you numbers that no longer apply.

The short version: map farms are archived, and most boss farms stay.

Map farms are archived

Every map strategy relied on atlas nodes, Scarabs, or both.

Each map farm on the site was built around specific atlas passives, specific Scarabs, or both. With the tree rebuilt and Scarabs removed, none of them can be run the way they are written. So we have archived all of them.

This is not because map farming is dead. It is because we do not know yet what the best setups look like with the new tree and Threads. New map farms will go up once we have tested them in the new league.

Most boss farms stay

Pinnacle fights do not use the atlas tree or Scarabs, so most of them work the same way as before.

A boss farm is one set of fragments and one portal. None of that depends on the atlas tree or on Scarabs. So most boss farms are just as valid as they were last league. These remain published:

• The Shaper, The Elder and Uber Elder, including their uber versions
• Sirus and The Maven, including their uber versions
• The Searing Exarch, The Eater of Worlds, The Black Star and The Infinite Hunger
• Venarius, It That Was Esh, Oshabi and Zorath
• King in the Mist

You can find all of them on the boss farming page, or see how they compare in our guide to the best bosses to farm.

The boss farms we have paused

A few fights changed enough that the old numbers are wrong. We will bring them back soon.

Three boss farms are archived for now. Each one will come back in the first days of the league, once we have updated it.

• Uber Atziri. The Alluring Abyss and the Mortal fragments are gone. She is now fought inside the Temple of Atzoatl, in a reworked fight. We will add the new version in the coming days.
• Catarina. Her drop table has changed. She now always drops one of three Allflame Embers. We will adjust the strategy in the coming days.
• The Incarnation bosses. Several of the Astrolabes they drop have been removed, and the rest work differently. We will adjust these in the coming days.

What to keep in mind

The boss farms that stay are still worth a careful look in the first week.

Prices also move fast at the start of a league, so expect the numbers on every strategy to shift a lot in the first few days. We will keep adding and updating farms as the league settles. Check back often.
