Rules for targetfarming specific and sustaining
You need to "uncomplete" All maps of the same tier and the above tier. This will force all the map drops in those tiers to be the map you are farming. This is very important step, if you want to sustain.
So in order to save your sextants on SSF, you need to plan your completion route carefully

Spoiler

Analyzing the new atlas

Devoto's Devotion farming

It's easy to sustain Pit Map(T8).
Just shape Atoll(T8) and Coral Ruins(T9)

Arena(T9) is easy. Just same Plateau(T10)

Windripper
Also easy to sustain Atoll(T8)
Just shape Pit Map(T8) and Scriptorium(T9)

Rigwald's quill


Lair Map(T11) Very Painfull to farm. Have 2 T12 connected, which means if you use Elder Orb on one of them, you will still have T12 half your T11 drops. I have no idea, whether you will be able to sustain a T11 map with 50% drops and no investment into the map (chisels, sextants etc.).
I would use Elder Orb on T12 Crystal Ore, so you can ping/pong between Caldera and Lair if you want.

The Lion
You can also farm T11 Caldera for this and a bonus is that you are also able to get Kaom's Heart cards. You just need to use Elder Orb on T12 Crystal Ore

Kaom's Heart
You can farm this easily this league. Either Through Caldera (Which also drop The Lion) or through Volcano.
To farm it in Volcano, you need to shape your Arena Map(T9), but this will make it harder to farm your devoto's, unless you already have it.

Orb of Fusing
Hell Yir baby. This is going to be fucking easy to farm this league.
Just run Wharf map(T1) and shape one of the connected T2. I do not think, you need an elder orb on the other adjacent map to sustain, but time will tell.

Sulphite Scarab farming
This is the league where you can deep delve on SSF. Geode have a perfect position at T6, but you need to shape Factory/Villa(T7) and Elder Orb the other. I would use my Elder Orb on one of those map, that you actually like running, since you should use your Sulphite Scarab on these maps.

Flooded mine Have alot of decent cards.
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Flooded_Mine_Map
And you can easily sustain this by shaping Relic Chamber(T5).
Notable divination card drop: The Wolf(random Rigwald item), Survivalist(alchemy orbs), Glimmer of Hope(Random Gold ring), Fathomless Depths(Lightpoacher) and Buried Treasure(sulphite Scarab)
However, this guy farmed 150 maps and only got 1 The Wolf card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L98vs_kf250

Harbinger Orbs.
Hard to farm/sustain through Lighthouse Map. Not realy worth, since you need an elder orb to farm it. You need to shape/elder T7 Waste Poo / Chateau.

Thank you very much for the guide.

I'm going on my first journey on SSF (lvl 57 right now) and I wanted to try Raider dext to cold, as it will prolly be my main character next trade league. I figured starting the buid now in SSF will teach me all I need to know about the build and brings some freshness and excitment mid-league.

By sheer luck I found your build, and you are doing exactly what I want :D

I have one question regarding the target farming of a few uniques through cards.

They ask time on low level areas, atlas shapping, and most of these items will be replaced at some point. I understand that farming them secures a steady progression. It's going slow to be sure to be able to make the next step.

But can Delve crafting replace that? I never played SSF so that's why I'm asking you. My assumptions come from the fact that I always craft most of my gears (and complete my atlas/run T16 without buying any maps). Of course I buy a few more fossils when my own fossils aren't enough to hit something particularly good, I buy the base sometimes, etc... all short cuts that seems not so important to me right now as I could use a "not so great" base and not reroll with new fossils an ok-ish craft until I found a new base to continue crafting. For example the helmet, Devoto, could be replaced with a delve helm. The Lioneyes bow too I guess.

I don't know how delusional I am. Maybe I won't be able to farm Delve without the items farmed through cards in the first place. So could you give me your opinion on that? Could I just "rush" the atlas how much as I can, and delve to craft my gears?

I found someone saying The Lion may take 150 glacier maps per card.. So I looked more onto the drop penalty in act6 and turns out it's only 50%. Since I run much faster and kill much faster than a act6 char I figured let's go. I took my speedy woman to act6 and got a set in 40 min, which granted me the jewel. So bye bye Glacier.

I've started to delve: the beginning is slow: not many Niko missions and basically no fossils behind walls. The craft I could try was from fossils found in blight chest.. Resonators come easily.

I won't be home this weekend so this is on hold, but I foresee that you actually can't delve enough and won't find enough fossils to have an easy time in gear progression (unless you play 20 min per day and then the daily niko is enough). So I'll probably have to mix your strategy into my delve plan for a while.
