What to do with a unique map before using it?

Question, I just got this unique map drop:

Since this is my very first unique map is there anything I need to do such as chiseling and/or exalting (I only have 8 exalts to my name) it before playing it? What's my best way to maximize the value of drops?

You can't exalt uniques...

There aren't any unique maps currently in the game that are worth chiseling IMO. Just run it with the default zana mod (you can't use special mods on unique maps anyway).

This thread is a little perplexing given your 2012 join date.

i don't think chiseling it is worth it since for every chisel you only get 1% quantity. i believe the best would be to inform yourself on what the map is like, in this case the boss can be tricky if you are low level

that's a pretty straightforward one but tehre are many others that pose major treats that need preparation

just my opinion :)

 Thanks. Nothing perplexing as I'm a self-found casual player and until Rampage League I had never had a level 80 build. For some PoE is a walk in the park and easily create builds that face roll content. For me I'm at the other end of the spectrum and until recently hadn't really gotten into a rhythm with a build that works well in the endgame maps.

1. Just run with Zana quantity bonus.
2. Pick up that loot, that map has a nice drop rate.

stand corrected.

Run it with one of each apex shard (not the midnight one of course), it will give you an extra 15% quantity.

You don't get the q bonus for unidentified unique maps.

Ugh so much misinformation nowadays.

Huh. didn't know that. apologies. will just clear my original post.

I never would use zana mod on such a map.
I played this map many times and it mostly droped more rares than i can take out (with the 6 portals, and i have no mf char). So why using zana mod for more quantity ? For me it's wasting currency.

He means the free Zana mod. The other ones are not available. Please think first then speak.
