Path of Exile Atlas skill tree for early-game maps farming

UPDATED TO 3.29

Early Map farming and progression Atlas tree build for PoE 3.29 Curse of the Allflame

Grab more of the small Adjacent Map Drop Chance passives, which are the main priority for progressing through the atlas. This is a very important step: even if it feels like you're wasting passive points, you need this bonus in order to build a big stock of maps to progress the atlas as fast as you can.

Searing Exarch Altars ("red altars") help heavily with currency early on.

Focus on mechanics that are easy early on and help a lot with your character's progression.

Feel free to start removing the League mechanics you don't enjoy.

Shrines is a good option because it gives strong buffs to the player while providing good extra pack sizes. Feel free to grab Shrines nodes if your build is having a bad time in maps.

Once you've enough red maps and atlas passive points, check one of the end-game atlas strategies, such as the Best Endgame Atlas strategy.
