tldw; - tested deli scarabs of paranoia - figured the best method was to get the most rewards in the shortest time rather than going for like 10+ bars per map - strand is bis for deli - used 4x Paranoia 1 Mania - Tree is min maxed for 8 rewards as you hit the boss (9/10 time this worked for me) - 8 mod maps only - invested 7div - returned 47 (excluding filler and lucky drops) in 3 hours - scarab prolly go up, deli orb prolly go down, still prolly ok ggs
After testing a bit with different configurations, it seems to me that the real prerequisite to getting 8 rewards before boss is +40% pack size on the map (which means 8 mods) Beyond kinda does nothing, you can lean more into shrines with domination craft, get more monsters and most importantly more power. Getting good set of shrine buffs (like repeating + speed + chaos pops) helps a lot
Great vid, spot on regards the profitability but I wouldn't run beyond. Instead you can just run ritual chance without running the rituals. That way you get a lot of extra monsters and can hit the 8 rewards milestone as well without all of the hassle of running beyond (e.g. waiting for them to appear lol)
Me playing archmage, like 50div invested? Once i got to 7th layer i straight frostblink to boss, dps not high enough for 8th layer and monster is like hasted all the time, had to frostblink every second to not die.
Been playing it and seems like a good strat. I didnt do precise calculations but theres net profit even after using 4 instances of the 5c paranoias. Also the loot explosion after finishing the deli is very satisfying. So long as you dont die often and lose the deli before boss this seems very easy to do.
This is best for a specialized build like flicker strike, you really need to be doing one minute maps to really make this strat pop. Before soulthirst got nerfed this would be a perfect build for this.
Was good last league already even when limited to two scarabs of mania. I think the low value of cluster jewels is not because of that strategy but because of the titanic scarab. I dropped multiple 3 passive mana res eff 84+ from them which I didnt in like 200-300 maps with the delirium strat last league.
I used to hate running Deli. Was running Expediton and Harvest before, slotted this on one of my Atlas and never looked back since. Clearing still abit clunky as my character isn't exactly a full mapper build but working on a map blaster character to really run this full steam.
Yeah I tested that before releasing the initial video and it didn’t seem to work for me but apparently it did for tuna, 100% worth specking ritual chance if it works
This is similar to what I've been doing when I'm not carrying people through acts & levels... hoping the scarabs don't become more expensive because of this video loll
Your scarab prices seem off. Paranoia has been more like 5c in bulk for a few days now. I’ve been doing 2/3 with red altars in city square (just alch+go). Pop a red altar pack, boss rush, then round out 7 rewards and get your mining node. Much faster, even for my slow character, and I find I’m getting a lot more gold/hr this way to keep the town running. Boss rush is always good - invitations and synth/conq map drops nearly pay for the strat themselves and deli drops are icing on the cake at that point.
did you also try one scarab of neuroses for the deli boss spawn, they can spawn multiple ones which add a lot of splinters. or arent you really interested in the splinters?
I can't stop drooling over your weapon! How do you even craft something like that? I'm thinking about fractured flat cold or fire dmg base, than spam essence of wrath until I get 2 other decent flat ele dmg rolls and I'm stuck. How to force proper suffixes I have no idea?
@@Milkybk_sorry can answer my question one last time? why does my delirium timer start going down from 5 right after I touch the mirror at the start bricking my run? what did I do wrong? I try to kill more mobs but timer won’t stop going down
@@Milkybk_ I think deli maps have always been Trop island(low chance of the mirror moving sideways and soft bricking the map)>malformation(cancer to run)>strand(consistent nice layout but not quite as good as other 2).
@@Milkybk_ i can hit 9-10 on strand with breach howevr it takes around twice as long so i doubt its worth. 1 of my runs i got a whole simulacrum worth of splinters
I had this silly idea of going in and getting deli reward up to 5 in the first 25 seconds and leaving map. I wonder how profitable that would be doing like 1.8maps per min... I guess i'll test it myself. (blah blah blah something about currency per hour)
I'm playing an ephemeral edge trickster with a mageblood and found this to be very difficult. Not because I would die but because I just couldn't kill anything fast enough. I reckon you really do need the headhunter. I unspecced Decent into Madness and it still got too hard towards the end. I had to also stop using the Mania scarab. I instead used a domination scarab for a couple more shrines in it's place. I can get 7 reward layers with 8 on the boss so one less reward rollover. But I also had to take The Singular Eternity along with the two Fog Dissipation Delay small nodes. And I was seconds on running out of fog while killing the boss usually. It was still profitable. I still often got like 7-14 deli orbs along with a ton of random stuff. One of my regular farms is harvest so I am sitting on the juice to convert the orbs to one of the top 3 sellers so that helped my profit a lot considering I didn't need to buy the juice per se. Worth noting this is terrible for gold. And in my case really bad for the league mechanic all together. As activating an ore node does not stop or slow the fog down. You either need to backtrack the map for the ore node and gold or not get the extra reward rollover from the boss. This hard choice made me only be able to do this for 10 maps before deciding it was not for me. tldr. You need a headhunter setup to be able to perform anywhere close to as advertised in the video.
I have no problem running this with EE trickster w/ Mageblood. Get 9 rewards every time. I don't use Descent into Madness though since it doesn't seem to provide any benefit (I guess more splinters? but those aren't worth much) and makes the map take longer.
I think it's fair to include "lucky drops" at half their value in the profits breakdown. Lucky drops will always happen in PoE and I think completely disregarding them is a mistake, but to keep things fair cutting the value in half should provide more realistic expectations
@@swiftkd9144 you mean the unique jewel? i never saw any for my 200+ maps. Is it because i ignore the delirium boss? I will kill it if it is at the start of the map, but if im in 6th layer, i just ignore them.
@@discrep not true at all, or not entirely true, strat may be still profitable but with awakening scarab being 150c+ its almost better to run without it
@@ProMikus I think it's still worth it even at current market prices for awakening and juice. In T17s with a couple of blue quant altars, you can average 3-5d worth of juice per map, which easily pays for the scarab. Even in 8mod jungle valleys you can avg 2-3d if your build can handle selecting every quant altar.
