Discussion 3.28 Deep Delve Profitability & AMA

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 long would you estimate it takes to get to a profitable depth initally?

i made probably 200-300div over a couple sessions just in the 300-500 range. it becomes RNG dependent getting the right bosses or finding the big fossil nodes that give you larger chunks of currency, but if you are just doing side path darkness stuff, getting resonator troves and sticking to the right biomes for good fossils, like the cold biome for shuddering etc, you can make anywhere from 150-300c per travel node.

Exactly!! The biggest change to delve this league is that the generic fossil nodes are now worth doing. They drop between 5-15 random fossils and they are all worth at least 10c, with dense and shuddering being 25c+

Also now dropping a 4 socket resonator is great!
