Juicing maps in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) means making them as rewarding as possible, with extra monsters, loot, and experience. Here’s a simple guide to help you set up and farm juiced maps effectively.

Step 1: Use Precursor Tablets in Watchtowers

1. Find Watchtower Clusters:

   • Look for areas on your Atlas with multiple Watchtowers close together. These clusters allow overlapping effects from Precursor Tablets.

2. Insert Precursor Tablets:

   • Slot tablets into Watchtowers to add modifiers to nearby maps.

   • Effects can include:

     • Increased item rarity or quantity.

     • Extra mechanics like Breach or Expedition.

     • Bonus monster levels and pack size.

Step 2: Plan Your Path

1. Travel Through Low-Tier Maps:

   • Use low-tier maps (e.g., T1-T4) or less valuable maps to move between towers.

   • Avoid wasting high-tier maps for traveling.

2. Complete or Fail Unwanted Maps:

   • Finish or fail maps you don’t like running (e.g., maps with bad layouts).

   • This ensures tablets only affect maps you enjoy farming.

Step 3: Set Up Juicy Maps

1. Stack Multiple Tablets:

   • Once you’ve cleared or failed unwanted maps, slot tablets into Watchtowers.

   • Overlapping effects will create highly juiced maps with tons of rewards.

2. Choose the Right Map Tier:

   • Use your best high-tier maps (T15 or T16) for farming these juiced areas.

   • Add modifiers by:

     • Alching normal maps.

     • Regaling magic maps to increase modifiers.

Step 4: Run the Juiced Maps

1. Prepare for Big Loot:

   • Expect maps with:

     • High monster density.

     • League mechanics like Breach or Expedition.

     • Increased item rarity and quantity.

   • These maps will take longer but offer incredible rewards.

2. Avoid Rippy Maps:

   • Check modifiers carefully. Skip maps with too many dangerous mods for your build.

Bonus Tips

1. Save Resources on Travel Maps:

   • Use lower-tier maps for traveling and only lightly modify them (e.g., add two modifiers with a transmute or regal).

2. Clear Inventory Often:

   • Juiced maps drop a lot of loot, so return to your stash regularly to avoid running out of space.

3. Corrupt High-Tier Maps:

   • If you have extra T15 maps, corrupt them for a chance to create T16 maps and get even better rewards.

4. Focus on Favorites:

   • Use this strategy in areas of the Atlas where you enjoy the map layouts.

Example of a Juiced Map

After setting up, your maps might have:

• +2 monster levels.

• 100% increased item rarity.

• Extra league mechanics like Breach or Beyond.

• Higher chance of finding valuable items like Exalted Orbs or Scarabs.

This setup can give you several hours of farming in high-reward zones, making it well worth the initial effort. Happy farming!
