so I´ve been wondering, is there any reason to go beyond white maps when you wanna just simple farm?

- essence - doesnt scale
- bestiary - doesnt scale
- grove - doesnt scale
- betrayal - doesnt scale
- blight - ??
- expedition - ??
- incursion - ??
- metamorph - doesnt scale
- ritual - doesnt scale

anyway, if you get little "buffed" and kill everything just by looking at it, only limiting factor is your MS, so stack on movement speed and you get ridiculous div per hour, so to me it seems like the farming progression is something like - white maps, white maps, white maps, empyrian style of farming....

kinda sad, would be really nice if there is a feeling of reward progression between white and red maps on mechanics...

also some "before death" log would be awesome....30k armor, 40k ev, 100 suppres, 5k hp with 2,5K reg/s, 76@ and 72cr and still dying without noticing anything that should kill me (which kinda made me run white maps, cause i literaly see no point in doing reds, so its bosses + white maps for me since bosses < rare mobs).

Let me correct this a little:
- essence - doesnt scale
- bestiary - reverse scales - beastfarming is a lot more efficient in white maps due to smaller mob pool, which still includes chraicic chimeral
- grove - scales - higher map mods give more IIR/IIQ which affects harvest drops
- betrayal - scales - katarina needs to be higher ilvl to drop diadem
- blight - ??
- expedition - exponentially scales because lower maps have less IIR/IIQ, which affects expedition drops, they drops much fewer logbooks, and lower area logbooks have less everything, so they are less valuable
- incursion - doesn't scale - the profit comes from selling temples anyway
- metamorph - scales - much harder to get full charge on lower maps
- ritual - ?? - I've got no idea

Also
--Harbinger - doesn't scale
-- Altars - unavailable in lower tier maps, while being easily the most profitable mechanic in game

Grove - well but the base is same, in reds the T4 mob drop the same base amount, as in whites.
betrayal - I´ve been looking if there is exact lvl of map you have to have to be able to drop diadem and it seems its lvl 73, which is achievable in whites, crafts and everything else is non scalable (also you can do 1 red map to boost her to lvl 83 and do rest in white).

Everything I do scales big time with ilevel. Delirium, Metamorph, Ritual and Blight. The OP has no clue about how things are.

Now the real question is could I do my "above" in white maps and do well and the answer is Yes! Not nearly as good but doable and this is one area where I give GGG huge props taking care of the casuals.

So, I could not disagree more with this topic.....
