[POE 3.23] Exploring Delve - How Profitable Is Low Depth Delve? Tips and Tricks To Making Divines. 

You're fine investing in darkness res and light radius if you're not planning to ge below 1k. If you know for a fact you'll try to push below 1k then I wouldn't bother

​@@skuamato7886care to explain why?

@@jonmacdonald2193 delve levels 1k+ you need a quite specialized build anyways and it gets really damn expensive, usually better to spend the azurite to buy resonators via niko and selling them on trade, so better to plan with those out of the equation ahead of time (dark res "reduction" caps at -200%, at some point you have to spend hundreds of thousands of azurite just to get it close to positive) popping flares is also a lot cheaper when you need to and does most of the work

Congrats on the great success! I am happy to hear your progressing and making money. If you arent going GIGA DEEP in delve say 600+ or maybe even 800+ leveling your darkness resistance and light is perfectly fine. The reason you normally dont upgrade it is because you get experienced in running around in the dark and using your flares. Also after a while the amount of azurite it cost to level the darkness just isnt worth it. But as mentioned in this thread if your staying in lower delve/depth its totally fine to do it up. Also to be honest if you have more fun with the resistance and light then you should do whats fun for you and the heck with the divines. But keep up the good work!

@@Travic_ I have no clue how deep I will go. It is just taking time and since it is my first Delve, I am not always familiar with the generated layouts, with which nodes to go to, etc. Myself being a Zoomancer, I take a detour for cold and minion nodes. For the others, only if they are on my way in. Still, I think I got one of those things from a Vaal city earlier and I just stashed it without pricing it. Maybe I was sitting on something valuable the while time :)

Welcome!!!

Thanks bro!

Solid idea! Sounds like this would work great

Ohhhhhhhhh mmmmm

Well you need to find aul for that side of the ring so I’d say get to like 300+ then go sideways, the deeper the better tho to make them all appear since you need to get super lucky

@@Travic_ Scaling for that ends at 600 (likelyhood of finding the cities ie the bosses). So if you want to farm bosses and are comfortable killing them then 600 is what you're aiming for

Look up poe.ninja and filter by depth. Spoiler it is penance brand.

I have it to be perfect , I’m working on the video to explain it.

I can get you a pob later today I won’t be on a computer for a while, my profile is public you can pull it using pob or heading to my twitch channel and typing !profile it will give you a link. My account name is “Travic”

The cart moves with you! As long as your on the path it will keep up with you

@@Travic_ Thanks for the tip, I always just assumed I had to walk with it LMAO

My god the mad lad congrats !!!

Insane!

Easiest way to do it is to slam faceted fossils until dex gems, then clean it up and you can go multi mod cannot roll attack and caster and slam on support gems. There is a world with fossils where you can slam dex and socketed gems but I need to double check craft of exile.

Oh my god it didnt save thats so embarassing! Thank you for letting me know , poeplanner.com/a/iGu

Manastacker can be played as almost a leaguestarter and can scale easily into delve

I’ve heard good things about a few builds but it’s hard to say. We can check out some other league starter viable options closer to next league when we see patch notes and such. Have you ever tried a twink leveling experience before? I did a video series on managorge arrow it might change your mind on leveling and open a whole new world of game play.

​@@Travic_I would also like to see some tips for leveling. Acts leveling is so overwhelming.

Yeah and you can get it pretty early too! Just get down 200 or so and go sideways until you find him. It’s a really fun fight

If it's just the map you want, spamming kirac with comprehensive reports is an alternative and if you run red tier beachheads until you hit the jackpot, infused beachhead drops also sell for a pretty penny.

@@Exiled_Raven It's been evading me for quite some time. I'm in SSF so having delve as another way to get the map is a good thing .

That list kinda depends how deep you are and prizes fluctuate over the course of any given league. Usually though it's Aul > City Boss (city boss has more valuable drops in Machinarium but that map is rare) > delve specific fossils (check trade to see prices of them) > T3 Azurite. THose are the nodes I'd go out of my way for

The quick TLDR for this is: 1) Aul and Vaal Architech 2) All Special Fossils (hollowed, faceted, glypic, fractured) *tangled and blood (I forget the name) are pretty useless 3) Any elemental node (they say cold/fire/light/chaos) you are aiming for fractured items here. Nothings really changed from the info I gave you in the video ;)

meanwhile I'm spamming kirac contracs for map which I farmed myself :)

That map never goes down. It goes up as the league goes on because people want to gouge people for challenge completions.

you can easily sell this map 3 days before league ends. People still doing challenges last minute

might not want to trust yr friend xD

From experience i myself and most of my friends complete their challenges nearly at the end of the league. I just finished 40/40 yday and my friends still have to do them, so yea this map won't go down. Your comment actually made me realize that challenges is another big profit making strat to use next League 😊

No

Sadly I don’t think so, it’s fun but I don’t think it’s very worth

In the magma fissure areas yea. I’ve gotten hollow fossils

@@SargentD4 that should not be possible afaik. Hollow should only drop from the specific node. Weird.

Nice!!! Yeah I was so shook when I saw it was that expensive

Diggy diggy hole

No point to hunt the fractured walls they never have anything gear. Also the Azurite cost to keep up with darkness resistance becomes multiples of divines

It’s true! It’s insane!

Yeah I sold another after recording this video for 20 pretty easily , it’s so insane

Bruh we both already know

I wanted to do that some leagues back but thought a mechanic somewhere changed to stop it. Either way I'd never been good with deliver

No it scales until about 1200 depth then it stops

its good for finishing bosses.-

It does %damage to bosses!

Once you go very very deep it gets absurdly expensive, basically impossible to keep at high level. So you can ditch it from the very beginning and save azurite.

Yeah, I just kinda was in auto pilot mode and not thinking. Chisels are so abundant this late in the league that I just kinda use them and don’t think

He's got like 5000 chisels, its fine.

Aul is wild man, sometimes you get mods on him and hes just INSANE. What was on yours?

You need to use lube before he goes in. Will be an easier experience with your build.

I just keep moving so I don't get shafted by his plenty projectiles. Evade chance is extremely helpful down there, so is progenesis

His AOE slam does a crapton of damage and is almost impossible to dodge if he rolls increased AOE

Honestly no idea, I didnt bother to check lol. I can handle him until he goes into that phase where he does something with the crystals and starts shooting that beam. I went into that fight blind and at first I thought the key was to let him hit the crystals not knowing that triggers that phase lol.

Haha mannn been a minute since I’ve done that. Still trying to find an opening I like lol

Hammer time?

Bruh I totally forgot lololololol

What does ~ do there?

Is even worth it without any boss?

You make 30 divs with ease just killing a 20 second boss node :)

XD

When I get back to a computer I can! It’s on my profile which is public if you want to grab it in the meantime

If you think im acting then you havent been around long enough or have seen any of my streams. But the reaction are genuine. As far as MF/Delve and money making goes, ill actually make triple of what I would make in 1 hour doing Valdo Maps versus MF. The reality of the nature is you will make infinite more money doing a mechanic you enjoy and doing it well , MF or not. Personally MF was insane for a hot minute then got boring really quick and you can feel the burnout. Delve though has been insane. Both strats have RNG that can both be cracked and just go dry. Right after I filmed this video I hit Architech into Architech and they both dropped a map and valdo piece (30 div total from each) in a matter of 10 minutes. Then it followed up with 5 hallowed fossils and 3 glyphic and 1 faceted. So some hours are like that 65+ div just like MF. I do agree though inflation is insane but everything that is not MF is actually bonkers and well worth considering.

@@Travic_Fair enough. No offense meant, just got kinda annoyed I guess. Glad you are having fun still !

@@Regenerd Its really easy to get sucked into the fomo of magic find and the fomo of divine per hour. A lot of people are so hyped on that metric and forget a lot about the fun/hour. Even though the inflation is out of control and yes I agree its so insane (each upgrade I buy for every character starts at 350+ div) its still meant to be a fun grind. For me for example the inflation just pushes me to farm more ya know. Its kinda cool to not be able to get everything I need in one day. Its also fun to explore mechanics I would never try cause the profit was terrible and not giga juice profit. Like yesterday on stream I did the architech I hit the 30 div drop Map+Frag and I was so shook I peeked my mic and everyone was like SIR PLZ YOUR MIC. The idea is to find the enjoyment in the game however it is you need to find it. The day it stops becoming fun is the day to take a break and I agree breaks are healthy. But I just constantly change what I do and always find new ways to find that spark and excitement. Its meant to be a game and for fun and not a job (well I mean this is my full time job but you know what I mean)

@@Regenerd Here's the difference, though. That magic find also takes 3 hours to setup, and you're spending 3 div a map, mostly to leave them. Delve's investment is into the character and 10 minutes of sprinting through maps, no trade required. For people like me, who don't care for spending an hour trying to find someone willing to trade me 15 compasses, it makes sense. You're making, sometimes, 60 div an hour with zero investment. Which is fundamentally easier and more fun, at least to me, than making 60 div an hour spending 45 of it into the next set of maps.

You started me on this! This is your fault , also I hit another map and adorned piece after recording this I was shook

Bruh kekw

Dude it’s wild
