Delving vs Labyrinth vs Maps

Which do you prefer and why? Which is the most rewarding of them all?

Labyrinth is kinda luck based with the keys.. but you can score good.
Delving is probably the best for currency farming but its high level only.
Maps I don't know, haven't reached them yet (Still level 44).

all of them, but lab least of all.

lab just takes too long to do decent full key runs. normal build will run one in 10-12 minutes or so. it is pretty RNG as well with the enchantments and chests. you can get a trove of t13 maps which is mooooneeeey especially early on, but i think its the most boring of them all.

maps is just consistent. its always there, it always pays off.

delve is good but its annoying to get down to the depths required every time.

They're all rewarding so pick something you like doing. Me: lab runs.

Personally, I prefer maps because it has Syndicate.

In an ideal world, it would be a Zana mod or have a scarab so you could proc it.

I tried lab and I like running the actual lab, but trading feels awful because you can't pop into your hideout. The rewards are also pretty small (though you get quite a few). So you're spending a lot of time trading.

Delve just takes too long for me. I get to the encounter and all I can see is a timer as I kill predetermined waves of monsters. Darkness farming was fun but is now dead.

I love Delve and maps, but i despise lab. I've made peace with it a long time ago and i've learned the mechanics and sometimes i even farm it for a bootenchant or sth, but i wouldn't shed a tear if it disappeared. I think it's because you fight against stuff you can't kill. No catharsis by revenge so to speak. (I like the izaro fight though, the bossfight itself is great.)

I do lab only for completion then i never visit it again.

Im mapping and when i max sulphite then i go Delve. Then again mapping and untill i have enought.

I hate lab with a passion so it's only maps vs. delve for me. Usually I like both almost the same. The big advantage of delve is that I follow a path instead of exploring a sometimes shitty maze and of course that I do not have to loot myself until everything is done. The downside of delve is that you have to farm that goddamn sulphite and that delve is bugged like fuck lately. Once you have a decent sulphite capacity and you are at a decent depth you can switch between playing t16 maps and delving quite nicely but with a low sulphite capacity and at a low/mediocre depth it both feels like shit. At that stage maps feel better because you can at least buy them for a fair price while grabbing sulphite either takes you forever or you have to pay mad amounts of currency for the scarabs.

I used to hate lab but I got used to it and even enjoy running it for the ascendancy points. Not sure if I'm ever going to farm it, even though I'm starting to like it.

Maps I enjoy the most, can't even tell why. Probably because of the Atlas progression and the journey to Uber Elder? Whatever it is, it feels good when you get those map drops after a long drought.

Delve I find boring as hell. "Follow" Cart to the next node, hold down your button for your clear skill and stand in place or run in a circle, wait for the "encounter" to end. Hope to drop anything worth picking up, repeat. Wow. Such joy. Hopefully fossils will start becoming more frequent soon, not enjoying the rewards right now (around 100~ish depth) and my motivation to start digging deeper as soon as my sulphite capacity is reached is rather low.

Are you asking this as a new player?
If yes, and you want to know the best ways to start making some currencies then I'd suggest maps.

Delve is crazy good at 1000+ but its a pain to get there.

Ulab is always good but i suggest farming it at the beginning of new leagues.

Best way ever to get curr is always crafting tho but you must learn how to do it.

If you are newbie, but have some really tanky build (assume some cliche from forum), then - for you - Uber lab. All you have to do is obtain some nice rare helmet with proper ilvl and hunt for enchants. When you get some nice one, you can craft your base properly.

Mapping? And what good you want to "farm" there? 99,5% drops are garbage. Veterans farms maps for sulpshite and some interesting encounters (Betreyal, Incursion). Or you can endlesly farm Burial Chambers or Spider Forest for "Doctor" cards. Boring as hell if you ask me.

Delve? Profitable, for sure. But if you are casual or/and newbie, you will hardly get past depth 400 there - not enough sulpshit, too weak character. Overall, get some practice in Uber lab, get some currency from there, them go to Delve, or Delve every time you have sufficient amount of sulpshit.

Or you can build some "Uber Elder" killer, very profitable if you know how to make watchers drop. Play year or so, you will be able to properly design such thing.
