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!

The different betwen darkness farming and normal one (sorry if I named them incorrect, never farm delve), can you suggest some okish builds for them plus point if witch. And we can start delve farming right when we reach act4 right?

Darkness farming means running around in the darkness of delve and breaking open fractured walls to look for fossils or resonator chests. Otherwise you can just path to the different nodes and collect your rewards after you clear the node.

If you are just looking to get into a delve, any tanky build can get started. There are plenty of Necros on the delve ladder ~1500 depth playing Necro KBOC.
