There’s no guaranteed method to get more Syndicate missions in Path of Exile (POE), but several strategies can significantly increase your encounter rate. Here’s how to maximize your Syndicate mission acquisition:
Jun Missions:
Core Method: The primary way to get Syndicate missions is by interacting with Jun Ortoi, the master associated with the Syndicate. She spawns randomly in maps and offers missions that involve manipulating the Syndicate board for rewards.
Prioritize Jun: When Jun appears in a map, prioritize completing her mission before focusing on anything else. This ensures you get the most out of her presence.
Atlas Passive Skill Tree:
Invest in Jun Nodes: The Atlas Passive skill tree offers specific nodes that enhance Jun mission acquisition. Look for notables like:
Bargain with the Legion: Increases the chance for Jun to appear in maps.
Fortification: Allocating points in the Fortification section of the Atlas tree slightly increases the chance of encountering Jun in maps. While not as focused as "Bargain with the Legion," it complements other strategies.
Map Selection and Completion:
Tier Matters: Jun has a higher chance of appearing in higher-tier maps. However, prioritize maps you can clear efficiently. Spending too long in a map negates the benefit of a potentially higher encounter chance.
Completion Bonus: Completing maps for the first time grants a small bonus to Jun mission chance in that specific map area. While not a significant factor, it contributes to your overall encounter rate.
Additional Tips:
Watchstones: Using Watchstones in your map device can further increase the tier of maps you run, indirectly affecting the chance of encountering Jun. However, prioritize Watchstone strategies that align with your overall Atlas goals.
Master Rotation: Consider temporarily blocking other masters (except Jun) in your Menagerie. This slightly increases the chance of Jun appearing when you encounter a master spawn point in a map. Remember to unblock them afterward if you need missions from other masters.
Important Notes:
Random Encounters: Jun’s appearance in maps is still ultimately random. Even with these strategies in place, there’s no guarantee she’ll appear in every map.
Efficiency Focus: Always prioritize efficient map clearing. While maximizing Jun encounters is important, ensure you can complete the map itself quickly to optimize your overall Syndicate mission acquisition rate.
By combining these strategies and focusing on efficient map clearing while prioritizing Jun missions and relevant Atlas passives, you’ll significantly increase your Syndicate mission acquisition in Path of Exile. Remember, some randomness is involved, but these methods will give you the best chance to encounter Jun and progress your Syndicate interactions.
