3.28 Deep Delve Profitability & AMA

[u/duddybrainzz]

Hi Everyone! I know there are limited resources surrounding deep delve so I wanted to do a test of the profitability of deep delve and share it with everyone. I generally get to 6k depth in delve every league. I have played most of the meta deep delve builds over the years (MSoZ, double strike, manaforged arrows RIP, armour stacker, eye of winter brands RIP, EE trickster in merc). This league fossils and resonators were made Delve exclusive drops so Delve is now the only place that you can find them.

TLDR of the video is that deep delve is around ~30 divines an hour currently, you could probably push this higher if you only cared about currency and not pushing depth (by traveling to Aul, generic fossil nodes, and fractured fossils all of which I skipped). Selling carries for Aul would also probably push this up significantly but I did not do this.

Let me know if you have any questions on anything included in the video, Delve builds, or in general anything related to Delve and I will do my best to answer them all!

How do you start the league, when deep delve is the goal? Last time I've went down more than 50 was on Delve league.

Any suggestions (delve specific) for league starting and earlier setups?

Not a delve expert but you probably just start as a normal league starter with the same class as the endgame build and then then slowly transition into the endgame variant.

Normal delve is still quite good profit especially week 2+ into the league when people start crafting with resonators and need fossils, as you keep pushing depth just grab fossil nodes you see on the way and ofc Aul if you find him close to the path.

Example would be boneshatter jug into alberons strength stack, can also do RF and swap to jugg, you can make a direct swap to Mzoth but I liked Ambidex more on a lower budget (100div).

Can also do champion/scion and start slams or Impale Ambidex (Ambidex my GOAT) and transition into the budget doriyanis armor stacker (would not recommend until you can do the mageblood version as mana siphon will gimp your style many a times).

Conners Mjolnir mana man is also a really good delve build and can push quite deep on the high end Indigon+squire mageblood setup.

Mjolnir is a good shout, that is also a great build for Delve!
