In Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.0, 2 Lineage Support gems have become highly sought after by many players due to their exceptional value: Garukhan's Resolve and Rakiata's Flow. Not only do these 2 support gems serve as one of the primary sources of damage amplification for most builds, but they themselves are also extremely valuable - each can easily be exchanged for hundreds of Divine Orbs. By setting up your Atlas properly, selecting the right Tablets, and allocating Master passives wisely, you can maximize the drop rate of these support gems. The Effects of Garukhan's Resolve and Rakiata's Flow Rakiata's Flow has a core effect that treats all elemental resistances of the target as their inverted values for damage calculation. In Path of Exile 2, the damage reduction provided by a monster with 75% resistance is massive; flipping that resistance to a negative value (for example, -75%) results in an astonishing damage increase. For elemental builds, this gem is essentially a mandatory endgame duplication target. Most ordinary monsters do not have high resistances, but endgame bosses often possess extremely high ones. Rakiata's Flow truly shines in boss encounters, so its effectiveness during regular farming is somewhat limited. Garukhan's Resolve causes the supported skill to perform 2 critical strike checks. If either of the 2 succeeds, the attack is considered a critical hit. Many builds that suffer from inconsistent critical strike chance rely on this gem to function properly. How to Get Garukhan's Resolve and Rakiata's Flow? Anomaly Maps The 2 map types you need to focus on are Temporal Sanctum and Eye of the Storm. After you reveal their true names on Atlas, they appear as Sacred Reservoir and The Jade Isles, respectively. Sacred Reservoir: Before being revealed, this node is surrounded by a dust storm and typically spawns in desert areas. It drops Garukhan's Resolve. The Jade Isles: This node is surrounded by storm clouds, usually appearing near coastlines. It drops Rakiata's Flow. How to Reveal These Maps? In unexplored areas of Atlas, you will see map nodes covered by dust storms, tsunamis, or hurricane effects. Simply keep exploring the regular maps in one direction; after completing a certain number of them, these special maps will gradually reveal themselves and display their true names. Based on player experience, Sacred Reservoir appears much less frequently than The Jade Isles, which is why Garukhan's Resolve commands a slightly higher value. Tablets and Waystones In previous leagues, no modifiers affected the drop rate of these gems. However, during Runes of Aldur League, player testing revealed that the modifier "Waystone Drop Chance" significantly influences the drop rate of both support gems. Waystone Selection You should aim to use 6-modifier Waystones, especially those of Tier 15. By applying Chaos Orbs, Exalted Orbs, and Corruption, stack Waystone drop chance as high as possible. Anything above 120% is a good baseline, while reaching 135% is even more ideal. Tablet Selection The type of Tablet itself does not matter. However, when inserting Tablets into Towers surrounding your target map, look for Tablets with the modifier "Increased Quantity of Waystones Found in the Map." You should try to insert three such Tablets into Towers around the target map to maximize the stacking effect. Additionally, there is a Boss Tablet that may carry the modifier "Increased number of Waystones dropped by Map Bosses." Since the target gems are dropped by Map Bosses, this modifier is likely beneficial as well. Although the bonus is lower, you can attempt to find a Tablet that has both "Waystones Found" and "Waystones dropped by Map Bosses" modifiers. Visions of Paradise Irradiated Tablet The effect of Visions of Paradise allows you to run the same map twice in succession. In other words, if you find a Sacred Reservoir or a Jade Isles, using this Tablet gives you double the chance for a drop. Visions of Paradise is a highly valuable item, and the drop rates for PoE 2 Garukhan's Resolve and Rakiata's Flow are not high, so using it is a risky gamble. The Grand Project Irradiated Tablet The Grand Project allows you to leap directly to a distant map node without having to complete adjacent maps. This greatly accelerates your search for target maps. Although it is less costly than Visions of Paradise, it is still worth 2–3 Divine Orbs. Masters of the Atlas Master passive nodes have a massive impact on drop rates. You need to complete Jado's entire questline to unlock Untol Histories node. This node provides a 35% chance to find Lineage Support gems - Garukhan's Resolve and Rakiata's Flow both belong to this category - so this bonus is critical. Although it cannot be 100% confirmed to affect boss drops, it is stiil advisable to take it. Partial Translations node gives a 20% chance to double the effect of explicit modifiers on your Tablets. This means it can double "Waystone Drop Chance" modifier on your Tablets, greatly improving your drop rate. You should allocate both of these nodes; the rest of Master passives are irrelevant to this strategy. If you wish to search for target maps more quickly, you can choose Doryani as your Master. His node, Hidden Patterns, provides a 10% chance upon map completion to make a nearby unconnected map accessible. This lets you explore Atlas in a leapfrog fashion, moving straight forward - similar to the effect of The Grand Project. Atlas Passive Tree Among Atlas passives, Memories of the Maraketh and Memories of the Karui are mandatory unlocks. It is strongly recommended that you unlock them before farming your target maps. Each of these 2 nodes provides an additional 15% chance for Map Bosses to drop Anomaly Map Lineage Support gems, for a total of 30% extra chance. For such valuable support gems, this is a tremendous benefit. The drop rates for Garukhan's Resolve and Rakiata's Flow are both very low, so it is not advisable to make them your primary farming goal. Instead, a better approach is to casually obtain the 2 Anomaly Maps first, and then adjust your Tablet setup accordingly.

Since the introduction of the new ARC Raiders vendor, Nomadic Envoy, you can visit his shop every week to trade your surplus materials for genuinely valuable items, adding meaningful depth to the in-game economy. The items on offer rotate weekly, as do the specific materials or special currencies (excluding standard coins) required to acquire them. Requirements range from low-tier items to high-tier drops. This week, ARC Raiders Nomadic Envoy Ermal's shop features eight items: seven require specific high-tier ARC parts for the trade, while one requires you to locate the special rubber ducks. We'll introduce these items to help you decide which ones you really need and provide a farming guide for the required trade materials. This week's Nomadic Envoy shop inventory Items available for trade this week include: Eye Band (Face Style) Right Here (Emote) Gardening Shears (Backpack Charm) Complex Gun Parts Blueprint Ion Sputter Snap Hook Hullcracker III 25x Raider Tokens The first three items are purely cosmetic, serving only to customize your character or for social flair. Unless you are an avid collector of cosmetics and have the time to farm the necessary trade materials, we don't recommend prioritizing these. Complex Gun Parts Blueprint allows you to craft Complex Gun Parts at a Refiner 3 station using 2 Light Gun Parts, 2 Medium Gun Parts, and 2 Heavy Gun Parts. This epic-tier material is essential for crafting even higher-level gear. You're likely already familiar with Snap Hook, it's a handy tool for scaling buildings and cliffs. Ion Sputter is primarily valuable as a material to be submitted for Expeditions; this is particularly useful given that the next Expedition window is opening soon. If you're lacking a high-damage weapon, ARC Raiders Hullcracker III is worth considering. Raider Tokens are a special high-tier currency used to unlock various cosmetics or unlock premium Raider Decks. Note that the items listed above are part of this week's rotating inventory. If you are looking to unlock specific features like Expedition Vault slots, ARC Raiders Nomadic Envoy services for sale on IGGM might be a more convenient option! How to acquire this week's items via trade? Of the eight items available, only Ion Sputter requires a specific Rubber Duck for the trade; the other seven items require you to submit ten types of high-tier ARC parts with a specific total value: Eye Band: 300,000 Right Here: 100,000 Gardening Shears: 100,000 Complex Gun Parts Blueprint: 250,000 Snap Hook: 100,000 Hullcracker III: 100,000 25x Raider Tokens: 150,000 These ARC parts include: Any Guns Queen Reactor Matriarch Reactor Bombardier Cell Assessor Matrix Turbine Compressor Leaper Pulse Unit Bastion Cell Vaporizer Regulator Rocketeer Driver Most of these materials drop only after defeating specific ARC enemies. While some can be obtained through trades with other vendors, that is not a sustainable farming method. Any Guns You can obtain guns of varying rarities by fighting any enemy or scavenging across the maps; save any duplicates or guns you don't need to trade with Ermal. Queen Reactor This item has a chance to drop after killing ARC Raiders Queen. Combat strategy involves dodging the mortar shells and laser beams she fires while focusing your attacks on her legs and core. Matriarch Reactor This item is used to craft Aphelion and primarily drops from Matriarch. As one of the most dangerous ARC enemies, Matriarch possesses multiple abilities and can summon smaller ARC units. Bombardier Cell This item drops from Bombardier. These ARC enemies usually appear alongside two Spotters, which help Bombardier pinpoint your location more accurately. It is generally recommended to kill Spotters first, then target the kneecaps on Bombardier's leg joints and the yellow cylinders on its back. Doing so reduces its mobility and forces it to expose its core. Assessor Matrix This item has a chance to drop after destroying ARC Assessors. This enemy does not attack you directly; however, once you breach its interior, it triggers an alarm that draws other ARCs to your location. You must destroy all of them to secure the loot. Turbine Compressor This item drops from two types of ARCs: Courier and Turbine. Courier is a transport-class ARC; you do not need to fight it, as you can simply scavenge its wreckage after it crashes. Turbine moves slowly through the air and descends at the end of the raid. It attacks using mines and lightning strikes. Its weak point is the yellow fuel tank located in the gap of its landing gear. Leaper Pulse Unit Leaper, the enemy associated with this item, appears more frequently in high-risk zones. It deals damage by leaping rapidly toward you and crushing you. Its weak points are its eyes and leg joints. Bastion Cell Bastion is a large, slow-moving ground ARC that deals damage primarily through heavy Gatling gun fire. The best way to take it down is to destroy its legs, or the component hidden beneath its rear armor. Vaporizer Regulator You can obtain this item by scavenging ARC Raiders Couriers or defeating Vaporizers. Since Vaporizer is a flying enemy, you must constantly seek cover during combat to avoid its attacks. Additionally, shooting off the panel on its underside exposes its core components. Rocketeer Driver The strategy for dealing with Rocketeer is similar to that for Vaporizer. However, Rocketeer's weak point is its thruster; the best approach is to leap onto the unit to attack, as there is no armor protecting the area near the thruster. Duck items To unlock Ion Sputter, you must wait for Bird City map condition to rotate in, enter Buried City map, locate the following three ducks, and submit one of each to Ermal: Tropical Duck Gentle Duck Alien Duck That covers everything in this guide. If there is an item you like in Nomadic Envoy shop this week, be sure to start farming the necessary trading materials for it right away!
