Torchlight: Infinite SS14 Profound Hunt Rush Guide

To farm up to 2,000 Flame Elementium per hour on a budget in Torchlight: Infinite Season 14 (SS14: Tartarus), run a Goddess of Hunting compass rushing strategy on Profound Netherrealm maps. The strategy prioritizes rapid zone turnover over full clears: equip low-cost Hunt compasses, sprint directly to the Goddess of Hunting statue, wipe the beast waves, grab high-tier loot, and immediately exit to sustain map materials and generate tradeable surpluses.

Void Chart Node Priorities

Configure your Void Chart to force Goddess of Hunting spawns, scale monster pack modifiers, and maintain your consumable supplies:

• Hunt Encounter and Duplication: Take nodes that guarantee Goddess of Hunting appearances, add extra hunt targets, and provide a chance to duplicate reward pedestals.
• Beast Packs and Rare Modifiers: Allocate points that add additional waves to each encounter and upgrade standard beasts into rare monsters carrying bonus drop modifiers.
• Universal Drop Quantity: Path through generic item quantity nodes to amplify base loot yields from completed hunt pedestals.
• Beacon and Compass Sustain: Invest in nodes that increase compass drop rates from rare monsters so your mapping items replenish themselves without constant Trade House purchases.

Skip mechanics with stationary channel phases, complex interface screens, or heavy backtracking. Any mechanic that stops forward momentum dilutes your hourly clear rate.

Compass Selection and Beacon Rolling

Use low-cost compasses to ensure every run remains profitable even during low-drop streaks. Standard Hunt compasses drop naturally during runs and cost little on the Trade House.

When rolling Profound beacons, target modifiers with high item drop quantity while avoiding affixes that disable your character archetype, such as damage reflection, severe regeneration recovery cuts, or critical damage spikes that cause unexpected deaths.

In-Map Execution Loop

To hit target clear speeds of 45 to 75 seconds per map, maintain an uninterrupted movement loop:

1. Enter and Path: Trigger your movement skills immediately upon loading in. Follow the main path while tracking the Goddess of Hunting icon on the mini-map.
2. Clear the Event: Activate the hunt statue. Position your character to hit monster spawn clusters with wide area-of-effect skills before they scatter. Keep defensive buffs active, as Profound-tier beasts deal heavy burst damage.
3. Loot Pedestals: Collect high-value drops immediately after the final wave dies.
4. Exit or Kill Boss: If the map boss sits directly along your path to the portal, kill it quickly; if the boss requires backtracking or extensive travel, open a portal and leave immediately.

Tighten your loot filter to avoid slowing down. Hide normal and magic base equipment, standard crafting materials, and low-tier gear. Only stop to collect:

• Raw Flame Elementium and Flame Fuel stacks
• Profound Netherrealm Beacons
• Rare and Magic Compasses
• Valuable Memory Cards and high-tier Legendary bases

Converting Surplus Loot on the Trade House

Direct Flame Elementium drops provide only part of the strategy's total return. The remaining earnings come from selling accumulated mapping supplies to other players.

At the end of a session, convert your secondary materials on the Trade House:

• Profound Beacons: Bundle surplus beacons into full stacks and list them slightly below the lowest single-unit market price for fast sales.
• Non-Hunt Compasses: High-tier War, Mechanical, or drop-focused compasses drop frequently from rare beasts; package these into bulk stacks rather than selling individually.
• Valuable Memory Cards: List cards that complete popular sets immediately to keep your liquid currency compounding.
