Budget Breach Catalyst Farming

Overview

This is a deliberately cheap breach strategy. The creator of the strategy built it so that anyone with an endgame character can start it the same day, with no expensive tablets, no special maps and no prepared Atlas. The whole plan is to open as many breaches as possible, collect Hive Blood and Lavish Womb Gifts, and turn those into catalysts at the Genesis tree.

What you need

Three tablets per set: two with quantity of Womb Gifts found, and one with quantity of Hive Blood found. Every tablet should also carry increased effectiveness of monsters. At the time of the guide these were the cheapest tablets on the market, around 15 to 25 exalted each, working out to roughly 40 to 60 exalted per ten maps.

Maps are whatever you already have. Any T15 waystone will do, ideally with pack size, monster rarity or effectiveness. The creator of the strategy ran corrupted self-crafted maps and spent nothing extra on them.

Atlas

Take Doryani as your Atlas master. Evolutionary Pressure, Disengaged Safeties and Improved Calibration are all useful, but the node that matters most is Volatile Connection. It gives each map a 15 percent chance to be cleansed or corrupted, and cleansed maps hand out Fracturing Orbs. Over five hours that alone produced five Fracturing Orbs worth around 19 divines, without ever spending a cleansed map on purpose.

On the breach tree take Lavish Wounds and increased effectiveness of rare breach monsters. Skip the node that adds breach modifiers to revealed maps, since this version does not run breach fortresses. On the general tree, the desert and grass biome nodes give extra effectiveness, so favour those biomes if you want to target at all. Leave city biomes for more expensive strategies.

Running it

Open the breach, kill everything, pick up all the Hive Blood and Womb Gifts. Afterwards, take the Lavish Womb Gifts to the Genesis tree and convert them into catalysts. Block Skittering, block either Uul-Netol's or Chayula's depending on which is cheaper that day, block Adaptive, then path up to birth catalysts with a chance to produce more than one at a time.

What it suits

It is safe. There is no added delirium and nothing is over-juiced, so any endgame build can run it. It is also forgiving on capital, which makes it a good way to build up a bankroll before moving to ritual or temple farming.

One thing to keep in mind: the reported numbers count only raw currency drops and catalysts. The creator finished the session still holding around 40,000 Hive Blood and a pile of leftover Womb Gifts, plus roughly six breachstones and a stack of tablets, none of which was counted. Spending those on rings, amulets or belts is pure upside.

Watch the source

The linked video is worth your time before you start. It shows the exact tablet searches, the Atlas and Genesis tree layouts, and the small routing and blocking decisions that a written summary cannot carry, and those decisions are usually the difference between the creator's numbers and yours.
