Evasion Stacking Cold DoT vs Bismuth Ultimatum | Path of Exile [3.29]

It's my second favorite atlas strategy that I created myself...for myself. It is a low investment and super fun jackpot farm ( of course, fun is relative ), where my focus is to add as much juice as possible to the map, in order to obtain huge amounts of catalysts and other rewards. The catalyst number offered in Ultimatum windows is a number chosen at random from a pool of outcomes. That number is altered by the map quantity. Ultimatum isn't a strategy heavily reliant on map quantity, since quantity has diminishing returns for catalysts and doesn't affect the other Ultimatum rewards, but having more quantity in the map is still really good. It means more Verisium, Bismuth and better Lost Shipments loot in my case. The overall loot from natural inhabitants is also higher. I get way more scarabs, way more gold...way more divination cards. My strategy got buffed due to the Kingsmarch change, which made ores valuable. Instead of crops, the player must send ores for large shipments now. Personally, I'm still ignoring the other ores and go for the best ones. Bismuth gives elemental modifiers to monsters ( Monsters from league mechanics have a reduced chance to gain a modifier - but it still boosts Ultimatum monsters, contrary to popular belief ), while Verisium is the most valuable ore that can turn into a Starfall Crater ( big jackpot ). The most interesting thing is that GGG changed the catalyst stack size, from 10 to 20. This is not just a stash change for convenience, but also a HUGE Ultimatum buff in itself, which I didn't realize. This is the second buff to my strategy and the most important one. This means that the catalysts are no longer soft capped and quantity in general seems to give way better results than before. I posted in my community tab a screenshot of 11 prismatic catalysts from one reward window. It's genuinely insane. Previously, we were getting around 6/7 of those, if lucky. My map had around 200% quantity, which is not a map that players usually go for when farming Ultimatum. This kind of 8 modded map is pretty rippy, so I suggest farming Bismuth Ultimatum with a strong character. Trickster is not inherently "strong", but it's a tanky ascendancy that ignores most of the Ultimatum mods. Paired with Cold DoT, Trickster can easily fish for rewards in this kind of setting. Ultimatum has a steady baseline currency gain, but it has a lot more jackpots when it's paired with the Kalguuran technology. Besides certain catalysts, divines and divination cards, I can also get valuable tattoos and the Svalinn unique shield. Two leagues ago I think...I got a malediction Heatshiver, by using a Mythic Orb just like in this video. It was the only one available on trade and that was mine. These kinds of uniques are jackpots too and can be worth a lot, depending on the meta.
