I didn't come into Phrecia 2.0 looking for some galaxy-brain strategy. I wanted something I could run when I'm tired, half-watching a show, and still feel like I'm making progress. That's how this "Pure Bubblegum" thing happened, and yeah, it leans hard into the boring stuff on purpose. If you ever price-check your stash and realise the "small" currency adds up faster than your big drops, you'll get it. I even started tracking what I was picking up after browsing CheapPOE1Currency, because it made me think more like a shopkeeper than a gambler.
Why Jungle Valley sticks
I've tested the usual suspects. Dunes feels fine until you're zig-zagging for that last clump of mobs. City Square is quick, but it can get messy when you're trying to keep your pace. Jungle Valley is different because it behaves like a corridor. You go in, you run forward, you don't second-guess your route. The real sauce is killing the boss first. Rush the spider, delete it, then clear back through the map. With the boss already gone, you stop getting baited by altar options tied to boss rewards, and you see more of the "player" and "minion" choices that actually juice quantity and currency outcomes.
The atlas and the cheap juice
At this point in the event I'm not bothering with Wandering Path. I'd rather have a tree that does one job and does it every map. So I'm all-in on Eater influence, then I stack Domination shrines and Ambush strongboxes. Shrines keep the run flowing, strongboxes add bodies, and more bodies means more altar rolls. The spending stays low and predictable: 1 Domination scarab and 2 Ambush scarabs per map, plus whatever map mods you can handle. The goal isn't a lottery hit. It's building a pile of fusings, alchs, vaals, sextants, and all the other stuff people hate clicking.
Build expectations and run rhythm
You don't need a trophy build, but you do need one that doesn't flinch at ugly mods. Mine's a mid-budget Herald of Agony setup made from leftovers, and it's perfect for this because it clears while I'm moving. You're basically on rails: enter, sprint to boss, pop it, then sweep back while altars start stacking. Pick up the bubblegum, stash it, repeat. It's simple enough that you'll notice your mistakes fast, like lingering too long on stragglers or over-looting junk rares that won't sell.
What the money looks like
I ran 50 maps to make sure I wasn't just feeling lucky, and the results were steady: roughly 25–30 divines an hour once I sold in bulk. That's the whole point, selling to players who'd rather pay than pick up 500 fusings themselves. You'll still get the occasional silly map where an early currency-duplication altar makes the screen explode with loot, but you don't need that to win. If you're burnt out on high-stakes farming and you just want calm, reliable profit, this loop does the job, and when you're ready to top up supplies or grab gear without the hassle, u4gm is the kind of place people use to buy currency or items quickly so they can get back to mapping.
