Farming Omen of Light in Path of Exile 2 is one of the most currency-intensive strategies currently available. Because the strategy relies heavily on Abyss tablets, map choice matters far more than most players realize. Running the wrong layout doesn’t just feel bad—it actively wastes PoE 2 currency.
Path of Exile 2 0.4 Best Omen of Light Map
When farming Omen of Light, you are always running Overrun maps due to the unique Abyss tablet. This massively increases the number of Abyss pits attempting to spawn on the map. The problem? Not every map can physically support that many Abysses. This guide ranks Path of Exile 2 0.4 best map based on how well it supports Abyss spawning when running Overrun maps with the unique Abyss tablet, specifically for Omen of Light farming. The goal is simple: identify which maps consistently spawn the maximum number of Abyss pits, and which ones silently delete value.
How This PoE 2 0.4 Omen of Light Tier List Was Tested
Every map on this list was run at least once, with many maps tested multiple times. Tested specifically under Omen of Light farming conditions. Evaluated based on actual Abyss pits spawned, not theoretical maximums.
Atlas Setup
The testing used an Atlas with Remnants of Power, which gives a 20% chance to double tablet effects. This explains why some maps show extremely high pit counts (50–60+). Because of this results have a ±5 Abyss pit variance. Good maps stay good even with bad RNG. Bad maps occasionally spike, but average terribly.

S Tier
Run these whenever you can. These maps consistently spawn almost all Abyss pits, even with high tablet rolls. These maps are as close to perfect as it gets. Wide layouts, minimal obstacles, excellent density.
Steppe
Penitentiary (some narrow paths, still excellent)
Frozen Falls
Deserted
Confluence
A Tier
These maps reliably spawn most Abysses and are excellent for consistent farming.
Epitaph (somewhat narrow & cramped)
Headland (somewhat narrow & cramped)
Savannah
Caldera
Sandspit
Spring
Decay
Stronghold
Ravine
Burial Bog
Hidden Grotto (very narrow & long)

Rupture
Crimson Shores

Flotsam (very narrow & long)
Mesa
Overgrown

Steaming Springs
Crypt (somewhat narrow)
Sump
Blooming Field
The Assembly

Great for consistent Omen of Light farming.

Channel (lots of narrow hallways)
Grimhaven
Lofty Summit
Razed Fields (weird chokepoints & walls)
Riverside
Rustbowl
Canyon
Cenotes
Hive
Oasis
Rockpools
Azmerian Ranges

Backwash
Seepage (very long, big map – bad for Abyss)

Usable, but value starts getting cut off regularly. Run only if needed.
Bastille
Necropolis
Alpine Ridge
Fortress (fan favorite, but inefficient)
Bluff
Sinking Spire
Creek
Expected Abysses: ~15–20
Some Abysses almost always fail to spawn.
D Tier
These maps waste tablets. Poor layouts and low Abyss capacity.
Sun Temple (very annoying layout)

Rugosa (very annoying layout)
Bloodwood
The Iron Citadel
Mire
Augury

Forge
Mineshaft
Sinkhole
