Path of Exile: How to Farm Wombgifts Efficiently

Path of Exile's Keepers of the Flame update has completely overhauled one of the oldest League mechanics in the game: Breach. The new Path of Exile Items are essential to the league's crafting ecosystem, enabling players to create powerful Uniques, generate rare items, and obtain valuable currencies.

This guide breaks down the most efficient methods to farm Wombgifts, optimize your drops, and take full advantage of the Breach meta-progression system.

What Are Wombgifts in Keepers of the Flame?

Wombgifts are new reward items found within the redesigned Breach encounters and Hive Fortresses. Each Wombgift type provides access to different rewards-ranging from currencies and rare items to chase-tier Uniques.

As the main "chase drop" of this league, Wombgifts are also heavily tied into the crafting systems introduced in Keepers of the Flame. Farming them efficiently leads to exponential returns, especially when combined with Grafts or the Genesis Tree.

General Wombgift Farming Rules

Before jumping into the advanced optimization techniques, keep the following fundamentals in mind:

1. Item Quantity boosts Wombgift drops

Just like other league-specific items, increasing your Item Quantity (IQ) directly improves your Wombgift gains.

2. Higher-tier maps yield more Wombgifts

If your build can survive T16.5 or T17 maps, you'll see a significant jump in Wombgift drops.

3. Sacrifice Fragments increase rewards.

Though they raise map difficulty by adding Vaal enemies, Fragments also provide extra IQ, making them worthwhile for most late-game builds.

Many players supplement their progression with trade, choosing to buy POE Items or crafting materials to speed up map setups and accelerate farming efficiency.

1. Use Grafts to Manipulate Wombgift Drops

Grafts are the most reliable way to increase specific Wombgift types during Breach and Hive encounters. They can roll modifiers that dramatically boost drop rates, making them essential for any serious farming setup.

Why Grafts Matter

Grafts can roll an affix such as:

·"100% increased chance to drop [specific Wombgif.t]."

This Tier 1 modifier is rare, but it provides a massive payoff. If you farm or buy a Graft with this roll, you can double your chance of obtaining a particular Wombgift type-potentially even more when combined with other sources of IQ.

Recommended Graft Setup

Many players prefer the following combination:

1. Graft 1: 100% increased chance for Lavish Wombgifts

Great for consistent currency farming, especially if you want Divine Orbs or mid-tier crafting materials.

2. Graft 2: 100% increased chance for Mysterious Wombgifts

Essential for advanced farming through the Genesis Tree, and the best option for players aiming for high-end Wombgift multipliers.

This dual-Graft strategy ensures you get both profit consistency and opportunities for jackpot drops.

2. Use Mysterious Wombgifts With the Genesis Tree for Multiplying Returns

The Genesis Tree introduced in Keepers of the Flame offers one of the most powerful farming tools in the league-especially when paired with Mysterious Wombgifts. This interaction allows you to turn one Wombgift into several, creating a self-sustaining farming loop.

Step 1: Unlock the Genesis Tree

To access the full tree, you must:

·Complete the Keepers of the Flame story

·Defeat the Hive Fortress bosses

·Earn all Mysterious Item Genesis Tree passive points. Though the process takes time, the rewards are worth it.

Step 2: Invest in the Right Nodes

For Wombgift farming, prioritize:

Parthenogenesis (Notable)

·Grants a significant chance for Mysterious Wombgifts to "birth" additional Wombgifts

·The core of the multiplication strategy

Small Nodes for Additional Item Drops

·Increases extra reward items per Wombgift

·Helps produce multiple Wombgifts from a single Mysterious one

Step 3: Chase Ancient Wombgifts

After the core nodes, iiIt into:

·"Chance to birth Ancient Wombgifts."

Ancient Wombgifts are highly profitable on the trade market. If you prefer gambling, opening them can yield multi-Divine items such as:

Headhunter

·Mageblood

·Foulborn Jewels

This strategy offers the highest ceiling for profit in the entire Wombgift ecosystem.

3. Optimize Map Setups for Maximum Wombgift Drops

Even without Grafts or Genesis Tree investments, you can significantly improve farming by adjusting your map strategy.

Use Breach-Focused Scarabs

If your build supports high monster density, Scarabs increase:

·Encounter frequency

·Breach splinter drops

·Wombgift chances

Run High-Tier Maps Only

T16.5 and T17 maps produce:

·More Breach monsters

·More splinters

·More Hive events

·More Wombgifts per encounter

Low-tier farming is simply inefficient in this league.

Stack Quantity Where Possible

Combine:

·Sacrifice Fragments

·Atlas passives

·Quantity-boosting modifiers

·Strongboxes (when juicing maps)

The difference in Wombgifts per hour can easily double with proper juicing.

Final Thoughts

Wombgifts drive the entire loot and crafting ecosystem of the Keepers of the Flame League. While casual players can obtain them easily through normal mapping, serious players can dramatically increase their profits using:

·High-tier maps

·Quantity stacking

·Graft manipulation

·Mysterious Wombgift Genesis Tree strategies

Whether you're aiming to sell Wombgifts for consistent profit or gamble for chase Uniques like Mageblood, mastering these techniques will ensure you make the most out of the league.
