Sulfite costs ramped up so much that the 30k cap doesn't feel much better than the 5k. I'm seeing close nodes at 1250 cost in the 280 depth where I farm. Feels like costs were multiplied by 10 but cap only by 6? Sulfite gain is much better, though, from high level maps over 1k from a t15.

I'll buy fossils from you, and I'll also buy a prime resonator from you.

Oh, I don't sell them. I use them. Then I sell the products for many many moneys. I also make all my own gear. It's pretty convenient.

T14 Map was getting like 370ish per node in a party of two with 75ish quant. So it seems to be approaching 100 sulphite per 10% quant as you get closer to T16.

Tad bit of hyperbole there.

Most rares aren't worth picking up outside of leveling, chaos recipe, T1(even this is debatable), ilvl 86, and shaper/elder. Fossils don't change this, you're still picking the same rares up.

???.gif. I identify tons of rares in every league that are quite nice. Fossils change this because why buy a 6link with 130 life and 120 res when you can buy one with 130 life + 5% max life + 120 res (same for boots, gloves, i'm assuming helms but haven't tried it on helms yet). Ele fossils let you get things like the belt i'm using atm that has 30% fire damage on top of all the other belt rolls.
Light Riches don't drop nearly the same quality of cards as putrid cloister.
I've gotten multiple hoarder cards, an abandoned wealth, immortal resolve (fated connections), multiple chaotic dispositions/cartographers, and a bunch of other semi-valuable but not as good cards already this league. I haven't gotten that much chaos worth of cards if I combine every putrid i've ever done (10+ easily, 65+c a pop, few leagues they were 100++).

You know how many times i've bought a putrid cloister to do the atlas completion and gotten less than 5c worth of div cards total? That map is a total crapshoot.
Uber lab, unfortunately, still has its place. Many builds rely on unique helms. The pool is so diluted, even if you can use a rare helm, getting the enchant you want with fossils is a demoralizing crap shoot.
Yeah uber lab is still needed for unique enchants. Getting your own enchant is a crapshoot, yes. Everyone running delves can spam out enchants on helms without having to run uber lab and use it on a rare, though, so the enchants are still more plentiful.
You're not getting 20+c out of that much delving unless you hit a couple currency nodes or a moderate city.
I find A LOT of wealth chests in the darkness and behind walls. I'm not just randomly making shit up. I can just play the game for 4 hours in a day and rake in way, way, WAY more raw currency than i've ever been able to in any previous league.

These patch changes to sulphite just keep getting better and better for my purposes! I'm really, REALLY going to need them to add a Resonator stash and make fossils stack now.

That moment when you run hundreds of burial chambers and get a stacked deck.

I think that's selection bias. If rares were generally worth it, most people would not be recommending against picking them up.

I have not been as lucky as you with the div cards in delves. Nor do I get them in most delves. I think this might be selection bias again. You're remembering the good delves and transposing that across all of them. You do definitely get more div cards on average, I'm just not sure it's a significant money maker.

I'll admit I don't go poking off into the side areas, I'm not a fan of the mechanic and I'm playing a build that seems particularly weak to having its sustain suddenly cutoff. If that's where the majority of your delve profit is coming from, maybe I need to reconsider.

So, we're three weeks into the league. Has anyone seen bosses in their mine often enough to think that they can finish boss challenges before the end of the league? This is without using the "exploit", so 5 minimum each.

I haven't seen any bosses yet.

Jugg is / was #1 on the solo delve ladder, nebuloch jugg with all endurance charges.

Did you craft this Croetec Croetec I got really lucky with a +3 and socketed attacks deal 20% more damage on an imperial base. Doubled my damage with ele hit going from a shit citadel +2 to a +3 with elder mods and a proper base.

Lol people were saying sulphite was expensive last night. I had a path to architect temple that was 500 sulphite, get up this morning after patch and it's 750.

The chaos spam actually worked out this morning as did the prismatic/serrated/pristine fossil.

Tallied for exactly 4 hours of delving at 60ish depth. 150 fossils (exactly) and 54 raw chaos. Then I burned a good 40-60 fossils and got nothing. But I managed to use my Prime Resonator to make a 400 dps 1hander eternal sword. So that's good, I guess.

Spent over 100c buying maps (and easily another 100c worth of maps that i had/dropped) trying to get red elder to spawn, zone just collapsed or the maps just lost shaper influence but wouldn't get elder over and over and over, vaal'd my shit and done with this league.

4.5-5 hours. 6k sulphite. Never went beyond Depth 65. I didn't pick up any three slot resonators as I have two full tabs of them after the first hour or so.

I didn't pick up Trans/Augs. Also didn't sell any 6 sockets. It's retarded 103 chaos to 28 alchs. Wealth's are rigged to give chaos more often than alchs. Seems ridiculous. Alch prices should be weighted differently on trade sites because of this, but oh well! Nothing wrong with getting richer quicker.

Kiroy Kiroy Funny and accurate.


Been playing Jugguloch with Consecrated Path. Cool skill, basically flicker without the stupidity. I imagine the single target might feel a bit lack luster when it gets to the real high end. I wonder if it's worth switching helm and two jewels for Molten Strike in those situations.

Has anyone else noticed a sort of minimum duration to CP's teleport? If you're familiar with Lightning Warp, especially with Poet's Pen since that allows you to bypass the casting animation minimum duration, you can easily trigger your PP before LW finishes casting, thus wasting the second trigger. In that situation, it's better to "jog" in between PP triggers to maximize your overall movement speed. It takes a bit of practice, but you eventually get the cadence for stutter stepping required to optimize LW and PP casting.

CP feels the same way. If I just hold down right click, I get frequent double slams in the same location despite holding my mouse far away and mobs being present in that location. Doing a little jog between CP attacks feels overall faster.

Are you dark delving here or just running the cart horizontally and hitting the darkness along the path?
