Continue ShoppingMapping remains the core loop of Path of Exile's endgame, and knowing which maps fall into which tier can significantly shape your Atlas progression, farming efficiency, and boss-rushing plans. Patch 3.27 brings another rebalancing of map tiers, but the overall structure remains familiar: lower tiers help early atlas shaping, mid tiers support sustained progression, and high tiers are where most currency farming strategies stabilize.
Below is a clear breakdown of all Map Tiers in PoE 3.27, organized from Tier 1 through Tier 17.
These are the introductory maps that help establish your Atlas base completion.
Good for early sustain and shaping decisions.
Commonly used for early currency farming due to easy layouts.
Better drop pool access starts here.
A common point for players to choose their shaping strategy.
Good transitional tier with solid boss XP.
Often used for mid-tier atlas rushing.
Generally easy to run with consistent mob density.
These are high-efficiency farming zones, often targeted in late-league atlas shaping.
Reserved for advanced progression, boss rush setups, and pinnacle currency farming.
When you're ready to push into Tier 17s, make sure your defenses, flasks, and sustain tools are tuned for longer, high-pressure encounters. And if you need to smooth out gearing or crafting along the way, you can always buy PoE Currency at U4N to support your progression.
This tier list offers a clear look at how maps are distributed in Patch 3.27. The key takeaway is that your choice of map to focus on depends heavily on layout, density, divination card value, and personal build speed. Lower tiers are for establishing the Atlas, mid tiers sustain progression, and Tier 16–17 maps define your long-term farming and bossing plans.
