I stopped treating Omen of Light farming like "just run more maps" the moment I noticed how many Abyss pits simply never appeared. If you're burning tablets and still coming up empty, it's usually not bad luck—it's setup. The quickest way to feel the difference is to plan your session around Overrun Waystones, your tablet supply, and even your stash goals like PoE 2 Currency, because that's when the grind starts paying you back instead of bleeding time.

Why Overrun Changes Everything

Abyss Tablets aren't magic on their own. Slap one onto a random map and you'll get random results. Put the same tablet on an Overrun map and it's a whole different vibe. More bodies on the screen means more chances for the Abyss chain to actually start, and more chances for those pits to show up where they're supposed to. You'll feel it fast: you're moving, you're popping pits, you're looting, and you're not wandering around wondering where the mechanic went. If your goal is Omen of Light, you want the game to be forced into rolling Abyss content over and over, not politely asked.

Layout Beats Tablet Tier

Here's the part people hate hearing: the layout can matter more than the tablet. The pit needs room to open. Tight corridors, narrow bridges, cramped indoor tilesets—those can choke the spawn logic. The game doesn't always "move" the pit to a better spot; sometimes it just doesn't happen. So even if your Waystone promises a pile of Abyss content, you can end up with a scuffed run. Pick maps with wide lanes, open squares, and connected spaces where you can keep momentum. If it feels like you're constantly turning corners or backtracking, that's a red flag.

Rolling And Skipping Without Regret

You don't need to be precious about every map. If the layout looks like a spaghetti maze, skip it. If monster packs are weirdly spread out, skip it. I used to convince myself I could "make it work" because I'd already invested. That's how you waste an evening. Roll until you get something that supports density and flow, then run it like a route: clear the chunky sections first, trigger pits as you go, and don't chase stray mobs into dead ends. Speed matters, but consistency matters more.

Atlas Tweaks And Clean Exits

Once your maps are open and your Overrun + tablet combo is locked in, Atlas passives are the easy win. Take the nodes that push Abyss frequency and anything that keeps packs thick, then play like you're on a timer: enter, sweep the dense zones, pop what spawns, loot, and leave. That rhythm is what turns "maybe tonight" into steady results, and it's also why people who run messy layouts swear the Omen is impossible. If you want the run to feel worth it every time, build around repeatable value—right down to what you're hoping to pull, like a Fate of the Vaal SC Divine Orb, and then get out before the map starts dragging.
