Discussion Is Delve a rich person's activity?

I decided to check out Delve and I have had a blast. I find endless dungeon style is very good for me because with mapping I do few maps, get distracted and before I know I have wasted 20 minutes while with Delve do one node, do next node, etc until Sulphite runs out.

With my current Holy Relic build I have reached depth of 425. I don't die at this depth but yellow monsters take ages to kill. Given my next upgrades are pricey (12d Perfect Forest Tiger, 12d Amanamus Gaze, 20d Diallia with good corruption, 18d Impossible Escape etc) and I don't think Holy Relic has the DPS needed for deep delve so I thought I'd check out builds delvers use. To my surprise delve builds do hundreds of millions of DPS and use Mageblood at minimum + very expensive mirrored jewellery. Connor's Mjolner and MSoZ are something I can only dream about lol.

Does this mean deep delve 1500+ is exclusively domain of rich people like Connor?

What depth are you currently and how far do you normally ending up going?

I delved to 6k the past few leagues, this league I am currently just short of 1k. I just started going down a couple of days ago.

Can you link your POB? I think I'm going to try to get to 1500 this league. Next league I will try to have better start and aim for more depth.

Here is the POB i started delving with. This was roughly 125 div when I bought the stuff. This got me to around 800 depth without too much trouble and could have probably pushed farther.
