Summary

Without a specialized build, simulacrum falls to B-tier. It's still a decent farm, but you're mostly gambling on hitting Voices. At around 15 to 20 divines per hour, it's comparable to POE2 Currency Ash Arbiter and other B-tier options.

Catalyzing Bridge / Basic Breach

Catalyzing bridge isn't too amazing right now, mostly because it's outshined by 200% delirious bridge. Similarly, basic breach without delirium is outclassed by its delirious counterpart. Both belong in B-tier and should only be done if your build can't handle 200% delirium.

Adorned Farming

Adorned farming is a very similar situation to simalacrum and Ash Arbiter. The Adorned jewel costs around 1,400 divines, but entrances cost 14 divines each and the drop chance is very low. It's a B-tier gambling farm that can be good if you hit the big loot.

C-Tier Strategies: Mediocre or Declining

Abyss Chests

Abyss chests were significantly better before. Now, jewels cost practically nothing, and abyss chests don't drop enough value to justify the strategy. This belongs in C-tier at best, maybe lower B-tier, mostly because of very bad prices for jewels and poor chest loot.

Expedition (Outdoor Only)

If you're running expeditions outdoors without max mods, it's not profitable enough to be worthwhile. With the outdoor areas alone, it's somewhere in A-tier, but without max mods, it falls significantly. Running outdoor expeditions without max mods is probably C-tier.

Kulamak Boss

Kulamak is approximately on par with Arbiter of Ash. You can make about 15 divines per hour just running Kulamak, but there aren't many chances for big loot. It's just stable, consistent profit with no big upside. This belongs in C-tier for players who want to farm bosses without heavy investment.

T17 Map Farm

Running basic T17 maps without juicing is better than essences but not by much. If you can complete your maps fast, you can make some profit, but it's not going to provide huge currency compared to other options. This sits in the middle of C-tier.

Divine Arbiter (New Type)

The new type of Arbiter is not looking good enough. Out of all the bosses, Divine Arbiter probably belongs in C-tier. Even if entry prices go down, it's not dropping anything expensive compared to other boss farms which can provide loot worth up to 100 divines.

D-Tier Strategies: Avoid

Essences

Essences look pretty bad right now. Most of them are pretty cheap, and by themselves, essences don't constitute a dedicated farm. This is a solid D-tier strategy that you should only do occasionally if you already have essences spawned in your map.

T16 Map Farm

Basic map farming (Alch and Go) is not too horrible as a strategy if you can complete maps fast. It's at least better than essences, but you're not going to make much profit. It sits somewhere in the lower C-tier, barely beating out a few other options that require setup but provide minimal returns.

BOD Boss

The BOD boss is probably one of the worst possible strategies. The fight itself is long, BOD drops nothing valuable, and there's no real point to farming him. I definitely don't recommend touching this at all.

Tier Summary

S-Tier includes Expedition with Max Mods, Ritual, and 200% Delirious Maps. These strategies deliver the highest consistent returns with proper investment and build strength.

A-Tier covers Boss Rush, Breach, Azir Boss, Chaos Trial, Simulacrum with setup, and Temple Snake with setup. These are strong and consistent farms, though some require significant setup time or specialized builds.

B-Tier includes Ash Arbiter, Logbook Farming, Raven Boss, Simulacrum without setup, Catalyzing Bridge, Basic Breach, and Adorned Farming. These are solid but situational strategies that often involve gambling or are outclassed by better options.

C-Tier covers Abyss Chests, Expedition without max mods, Kulamak Boss, T17 Map Farm, and Divine Arbiter. These are mediocre or declining farms that aren't worth prioritizing.

D-Tier includes Essences, T16 Map Farm, and BOD Boss. These strategies should generally be avoided unless you have no better options.

Final Thoughts

The 0.5.4 farming meta offers something for buy Path of Exile 2 Currency everyone. If you want consistent profit with minimal setup, Ritual, Boss Rush, and Chaos Trial are excellent choices. If you have a strong build and want maximum returns, Expedition max mods and 200% delirious maps deliver S-tier results.
