High or Low Tier Maps?

Hi there,

I'm quite new to POE and am doing mapping with my first character, but am really struggling with currency as I feel those Chaos Orbs are accumulating too slowly so I'm probably doing something wrong.

So I've been wondering what is more profitable - doing lower tier maps that you can clear really fast or high tier maps? Technically I can run T10-T11 maps, but I still die once in 5 runs and clear speed of course isn't fantastic. And if I should spam low tier maps should I chisel and alch them for better drops?

Till now I've been simply working on opening my Atlas. I know there are particular strategies to work on your Atlas, but I didn't want to do that on my first character and just went with the flow.

But now I feel I've hit the wall since my character is not getting any stronger and I can't farm enough currency for highend gear. In my 50 hours of endgame I only got around 150 chaos (from drops and chaos recipe) while I hear some people are farming such amount per hour and even consider chaos recipe a waste of time.

Any advice is appreciated.

There´s no difference in farming currency in low or high tier maps. The most profitable things seems temple these days (or uber lab).

You can get better items (possible rolls) in higher tier maps but that´s all.

Ehh, I'm still missing two Accendancy trials to open uber lab :/
