Magic Find CI
Spark Templar/Inquisitor
Build updated for Patch 3.2

The Best Crafty Guides by Odealo

Estimated budget: moderately low (several Exalted Orbs)

Spark Templar Inquisitor is one of the best PoE currency farming builds out there. It has a very high clear speed, and with increased Item Rarity and Item Quantity bonuses allow you to farm over 20 Chaos Orbs per hour just from the Chaos Orb recipe.

1. Gameplay

Spark is a lightning spell that spawns numerous projectiles, that move randomly covering the entire screen. With the use of Pierce Support and Spell Echo Support Gems, Spark will clear the whole screen within seconds. Also, daggers with high base Attack Speed provide extreme mobility with Whirling Blades skill. This build also uses Chaos Inoculation Passive, as in our opinion it is much easier to balance between defenses and Magic Find stats.

5. Gear Setup

Spark Templar is a somewhat budget-friendly build with near to 0 unique gear requirements. It allows efficient currency farming with as little as 4 Links. Most of the gear is very easily obtainable, and rather cheap, with the 6th link on the body armour providing additional Item Rarity, which pays up quickly.
