How did players go bankrupt mapping again?

Dude you're highest character is 94 so you have very little map experience rofl
I spend 40 exalts every league on maps to get 100.

Since I don't play the permanent leagues I can't care less if I go bankrupt or not because if I am mapping over lvl 90 this means I have everything I need already . So every orb that drops goes into crafting fun maps depending on what I feel I would like to run and how challenging it should be .

Even since the new map tiers?
Pre 2.0 with 78s max it was fairly common that hitting 100 is a costy thing but with the up to t15 maps u can hit 100 by earning currency instead of paying for it?

I spend 0 currency to reach lvl 100 this league. It is not needed at all.

In absolute best case you will spend some alchs/chaos and chisels, running selffound trash maps and it will take you 10x the time of everyone else.

Unless ofc. you are running someone elses maps that they are spending currency on.

And to OP, noone has ever run out of all maps. The problem is that you run out of good maps all the time.

Solo. all maps self-found. My computer is a toaster so I never play in parties.
I did invest in chisels and sacrifice pieces.
Now of course I spend 4 x chisels on T12+
I spend 1 alch per map.
I spend some chaos rerolling temporal chains and double reflect.
I spend a lot of vaal orbs corrupting maps (double boss Bazaar and T12+)
3 x sac pieces on most T13+ maps.

This is not counting the cost of a map which you could sell just like anything else. In some way xp is the utility you gain from a commodity :)

Is that expensive? Sure. Did I earn a profit. Yup. 0,6ex (including sales from the occasional item I found) per hour in profits on average. That is me checking my profits over hundreds of maps so don't go "yeah you got lucky in a few (few being 50 or so) maps".

11 days /played time when I dinged 100. Don't know if that is a lot of not.

And nah - you don't run out on good maps. At least not T12+ (village ruin sucks) and gorge, arid lake, plateau, springs, academy and precinct.

I did not run many crematorium maps, so I got 69 of them lying in one of my tabs :) Try to stick to the "good" maps which is mainly about layout.

- Trans/Aug low-tier maps.
- Alch mid-tier maps.
- Alch + Chis + Vaal high-tier maps.

On average you'll come out richer than you were before having spent the currency on the map.

I've been doing this for nearly 2 years and despite having not spent a single chaos on a map in that time once my characters are in the 90s I'm usually flush with high-tier maps that I don't struggle to maintain and could easily rinse-n-repeat till 100 if I ever felt the desire. Of course I only run builds that can do all map mods.

The truth is the difference between just running the map as is verse re-rolling for premium affixes is way more marginal than people realize. Also, vaaling the high-tiers is the most efficient thing that can be done to obtain and maintain higher tiers, but again you need a character to be able to run them.

This is where the real issue is. People love their 200k DPS builds, but if they can't function in 1/3 of the affixes and avoid certain combos of the others then yeah you'll go broke trying to level to 100.
