Harvest Strat Explained - Run 60% Packsize Jungle Valley Maps. Make sure you have an Astrolabe applied since that's where a LOT of the loot comes from! Enter the map, fully clear it and click all the "Quantity of items found" eldritch altars. Then run the harvest, focusing Yellow Juice. After that, you can enter the mirage if the harvest is in there. If not, just talk to Varashta anyway in-case she is offering a nice reward like a fight with Ridan! The first few maps of an astrolabe can be a bit disappointing, and sometimes even the later maps can be but when the astrolabe gets some good affixes, it absolutely pumps juice in to your harvests! This is why it's quite RNG heavy of a strat.
Scarabs:
1x Harvest Scarab of Doubling
2x Scarab of Monstrous Lineage
1x Sacrifice Fragment of Dusk
1x Sacrifice Fragment of Dawn
REMEMBER THE FRUITING ASTROLABE!

Breach XP Strat:
Simple as it gets, run 40%+ packsize maps without any scary mods like crit multi, on a map you enjoy with a nice open layout. I prefer Strand for this. Fully clear the map and all the breaches. Get a ton of xp! We absolutely spec OUT of Beyond bosses for this strat, and basically any other Beyond strat. This is because once you've killed a Beyond boss, Beyond enemies will stop spawning in your map!
Scarabs:
2x Breach Scarab of Instability
1x Beyond Scarab of the Invasion
2x Scarab of Adversaries
IF you are running a very fast build with a Headhunter, I recommend swapping out the 2x Scarab of Adversaries for 1x Domination Scarab of Evolution, and 1x Scarab of Monstrous Lineage, as this will result in more enemies, and most importantly, more magic enemies for more xp.
