which content do you skip in maps?

trials, once i have a specific one if it comes up again i just ignore it.
Harvest
Bestiary, i won't go out of my way to find them
Abyss after a point or if it fucks off back the other way
Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

He who controls the pants controls the galaxy. - Rick & Morty S3E1
I'll have to agree with everyone in that normally I don't care much for abyss, if it is going my way great if not.. I won't kill myself to back track. Most of the abyss uniques were great during that time but not as much anymore. Belts and Jewels seem to drop everywhere now. There is nothing unique about abyss anymore. You could just throw those bosses in Delve and call it. Although I do like the soundtrack for the depths.

I will say as a SSF player, I might try to push the abyss tree for the +3 monster level depths for higher level item level stuff but even that is.. not to much to write home about.

I'm surprised to see a lot of Alva in here since at the very least she spawns a lot of monsters for maps. Solid for Delirium runs. Even if you don't care for the temple.

Abyss and Blights in maps are a 100% skip.

I have skipped Incursions a lot in the past too.
this is from standard perspective:

-blight 99% skip. I just dont enjoy it at all. would sacrifice casia for anything.
-alva 95%, temple doesnt seem worthwhile (but after reading this thread might consider now running only incursions in maps)
-abyss skip 60%, mostly skip when it goes wrong way or sometimes because not looking forward for rewards or expecting no lich.
-legion lost a lot of reputation for me. started skipping 80% of the time since 4 way encounter dropped literal garbage after 2 years or so splinter collection. It might be not that bad, but i hate it now.
-stopped doing delve, does not look like time efficient, but still want to do first aul encounter.
-heist, atm postponing all since there is so much work to be done in atlas. might resume heist later on.
-breach 35% skipping. Mostly doing when its enjoyable, not so much for the loot.
-jun. postponing her for later dedicated farming in atlas zone with syndicate. Just cant bring myself randomly opening cheatsheets.

yeah, it sounds like im spoiled brat in standard ;D

In a league, more so in the first week- its probably worth doing most of the stuff, well except i would not run blight nor alva temple.

i do like that one too. Would be interesting to see which soundtracks people like in poe.

if you have the build which can kill incursion quite easly, the in map incursion is the best density you can get so alva is always a nice one for drops/exp

with the current atlas change in glennach cairn, alva is a no brainer... i skip all alvas in other regio, but use alva on map when i run maps in this spezific region 100% of the time, the exp/drops are rly great and with the new change t3 rooms are "easy" to get still abit luck need it, but you always get atleast one t3 room for item corrupt / gem corrupt / t3 currency ( last temple i did i had 5 T3 rooms with all the good ones ;D )


abyss is jsut a shadow from the past, abyss jewels got nerfed for no reason, same like abyss uniques which made it even worse...




but suprisingly for me how many "hate" blight/alva/abyss ;D

Abyss - I just don't feel like chasing a fissure all over the entire map just to get a transmute orb anymore.

Jun - I kind of avoid after I got the unlocks I need, but I reckon it can be profitable if you got the patience for spreadsheet gameplay.

Blight - I want to play an ARPG not some poorly designed tower defense.

Delirium - Mostly because Vulkan died on me and playing it with DX is really laggy.

Heist - There is too many clowns with goddam unicorns and dragons clogging the town and is a lag fest every time I try to do anything there.

Torment - Like seriously, who got time to try chasing around the ghosts anymore. I just gone with Seance on Lex Proxima, much better.

Abyss - waste of time & unrewarding especially if it crawls in the opposite direction you're going to.

Incursion - not a fan since it's added to the game. I only run them if I need to unlock the crafting recipe.

Labyrinth & Trials - once I got them, I never run them again.

Heist - counterproductive if you want to progress on the Atlas which is the main focus of the league.

It's supposed to make you WANT to waste your time."
Abyss
Trials once im done
Sulphite (wish we could turn it into tradeable currency)
Heist (i hate standing around while they finish theirs jobs)

Abyss/Alva/Jun/Cassia
Hf :)
I appear to be the weirdo that actually likes Blight and Abyss. :p

But then again, I am not a "power player" by any stretch, so I don't care so much about backtracking (Abyss) or spending time on content (Blight).

What I DO skip though:

Trails - Once I am done with the ones I need
Legion - I don't mind backtracking, but I really don't want to have to kill monsters twice over a wide area. Plus there is some deadly stuff in there sometimes! LOL
Syndicate - Unfortunately, you still get "jumped", but I avoid for the most part.
Alva - I have to be in the mood, but I skip her quite a bit depending on my build.
Heist

Wouldn't mind if Tormented Spirits and Shrines disappeared. Strongboxes too. Plenty of ways to get items and currency without them. Though I suppose you could say that about a lot of the content in PoE....
