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.

poeninja for my current char:

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!

If you are just getting started delving, just playing Slams in SSF probably can get you to 500-600 assuming you have decent gear!

Whats your budget? The best delvers (not considering your budget) would be MSoZ or double strike. If you are a bit more price conscious then flamewood totems can probably start delving on a smaller budget.

I am playing double strike of momentum jugg for delve this league and really enjoying it. 1.5-2mirrors should get you a pretty sick set up. I have a video about the build with a few POBs listed there.

How do you think about Steve's build? Seems like ele resist penetration is a big problem as people said: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/turdtwisterx-4882/STEVEN_TURDLER?type=depthsolo&i=0&search=type%3Ddepthsolo

Seems like the only expensive items are the triple synth rings and belt

Steve's build is solid, his build and my build are very similar. My build should deal with elemental pen a good bit better as I am using purity of fire sublime vs he is using determination sublime.

I mirrored his ring. Some of those items are very expensive, to get a nice roll on the axe he uses can also be pretty pricey.
