Final Thoughts

Path of Exile 3.29 still has good ways to make currency, even with weaker ground loot. Strongboxes, Legion, and Abyss!! are all solid options if you run them well.

Right now, Abyss farming is the strongest endgame choice, thanks to high monster density and better rewards.

Pick what fits your build and budget. Start with Strongboxes if you're new, and move into Abyss farming when you're ready for higher profit.

Good luck, Exile!
