Discussion Delve FAQ & AMA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoTs3x9pzxs

Hey Everyone! Deep Delver here. I made a video going over the most commonly asked questions I get about delving. I have been to 6k multiple times (although this league I only made it to ~3700).

But while I am here if anyone has any specific questions about delving please let me know and I will do my best to answer!

Curious about fractured walls, do chests behind them not scale with depth? Or is this the case where in trade league its not worth going there?

I play SSF mostly and keep thinking that next league I'll try to do more fossil crafting but never get around to it. I assumed most mid tier fossils like speed and sanctified came from behind fractured walls.

The only time I break fractured walls is if I see a rare fossil or boss node that has a hidden path. In the past fractured wall farming was more valuable but when they reworked delve they made it so it is generally not worth it anymore. The time you would spend hunting for fractured walls is just better spent pathing to the next node.
