Unlock the power of Occultist Penance Brand in Path of Exile’s Affliction 3.23 with this beginner’s guide to magic find. Get started with Part 2 now!

Using my brother's crazy gifts and some smart trading, I leveled up my magic finding build. With Head Hunter, my build reached a new high, and I switched to t11 burial chamber for more loot. I had a little gambling break (or punishment for a war criminal?) before getting the corrupted cloak of flame and other upgrades. With Legion and strong boxes, and a bit of luck, I continue to make bank. My advice: embrace Abyss, Legion, and strong boxes, and use your magic find gear wisely. And in case you're wondering, it took me nearly 700,000 innocent Souls to reach this level. Thanks for watching! See you in the next video. Happy hunting! 🔄🎮🕹️

Upgrades and Currency Management

In my journey with a cultist and Penance brand, I encountered quite unexpected upgrades, including a gift from Chris in the form of ventor's gamble. While I could have sold it for currency, I decided to keep the ring for myself, as it's always more satisfying to use something you've found rather than bought. Next, the Head Hunter, a crucial upgrade for any magic-finding build, was obtained through a creative method of purchasing Divination cards.

Changing Strategies and Atlas

As I progressed, I found that changing my Wildwood ascendency to focus on charms was essential for improving the quality of life and gaining extra damage. I also transitioned from the classic Abyss strategy to t11 burial chamber with Legion and strong boxes, as I found these mechanics more engaging. With each change, my currency stash fluctuated, and I made strategic decisions to optimize my upgrades.
