Completing map objectives builds Atlas progress and earns passive points that let you shape endgame rewards.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Atlas maps, unlocked after Act X and opened through the Map Device.
Map completion is the foundation of Path of Exile 1 endgame. Each map you finish advances the Atlas, and qualifying bonus objectives add Atlas passive points. Spend those points on map sustain or mechanics that fit the resources you want to farm.
Check the Atlas for maps with incomplete bonus objectives.
Select an incomplete map and read its modifiers before opening it.
Adjust the map's rarity or modifiers only to a difficulty your character can handle.
Enter through the Map Device and clear the map, including its natural boss.
Return to the Atlas and confirm the objective registered.
Spend earned passive points on map sustain or a mechanic you plan to run.
Farming tips
A map's bonus objective depends on its tier and rarity; check the objective shown on the Atlas.
Avoid rolling modifiers that disable your main defenses or damage.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat with maps that still have incomplete bonus objectives; Atlas completion is a limited progression track, while mapping itself remains repeatable.
Common mistakes
Running a map without checking its objective; verify the Atlas entry first.
Over-rolling a map into a dangerous setup; lower its difficulty or choose another map.
Spending passives without a farming goal; choose a mechanic or sustain need before allocating.
When to stop or switch
Switch to your chosen Atlas farming mechanic when the remaining objectives are too difficult or your Atlas passive setup supports the next goal.
