My early SSF atlas progression with notes

1. Essences to craft some mapping gear.
2. Rushing the lower shaping nodes to get higher level and adjacent maps.



3. pathing through kirac to the other shaping nodes to progress atlas though higher maps and kirac missions.



4. filling out some nodes at the bottom of the tree to add some density, harbingers and extra rares to get more maps and currency dropping.



5. juicing up harbingers, strongboxes and essences. I am not sure how good tamper proof and secret operations will be, but it seems nice to boost twice tempted, and start collecting some scarabs for later. feel free to skip these.

6.take crystal resonance when you start seeing shrieking essences, it is pretty weak before then.



7. Taking concealed logistics and the unique map chance nodes to help fill in the holes in the atlas and synergise with all the map nodes we have so far. If you are farming a specific divination card, then take vault of mysteries.



8. Adding harvest nodes to craft gear. Can do this earlier if you want. Can also take call of the grove if you want to boost harvest more.



This is basically what you will farm for a while until you are happy with your map pool, and atlas completion.

9. path through harvest when you want to respec kirac.



At this point you will respec into what you want for endgame, so I will stop there. Here is example of what i would remove probably:
