810 chaos after 5 weeks of Delving, proud of you!

Almost pissed in my pants laughing - the 810 chaos guy is really funny! ^^

I'd be embarrassed to show 800 chaos like that, lol

I've got maybe 600c and only found my second exalt of the league today. Now while that may be a pittance for some people, that's quite a bit for me given how often I look for reasons not to play.

And to be fair - for players who can stomach running over 50 maps a day, the delve rewards don't tend to outweigh the sulphite bottleneck.

But for those of us who prefer a slower pace, I would say delve has proven more rewarding.

Given that I'm at that said 600c, considering we aren't even at the halfway point that's significant for me. I'm not farming efficiently and often go afk. Most of my drive died with beastiary as I've never fully recovered after that burnout.

Now I get that you're annoyed or upset or whatever -- but all those people at the lower echelons are seeing more currency than they normally do and thus are feeling more rewarded and enjoying the league.

I personally was hating the sulphite grind before I even made it down the first 100. I mean delve is like an even more inconvenient incursion, but having the little minigame of find something perdy in the darkness helps keep it entertaining.

As I'm pretty sure if delve makes it to standard its going to be stripped of all the stuff that actually made it enjoyable, so why not run league a bit longer... As much as I hate sulphite, the delving aspect is fresh enough that it gives me something more than just mindless mapping.

So what are we talking about here? The amount of currency drops or the converted value of the loot when trading? Because those two are different things, especially for SSF or people who rarely trade (aka the majority).

I have certainly seen more currency drops in delve than during maps. The current rate chaos:exalt is also speaking toward a much higher chaos drop-rate in delves. Personally, I feel very well rewarded by delves, especially with items that are intrinsically useful(chaos, alcs, fuses...) and not because they are rare( mirrors, exalts...)

I would be careful with claims like this because it's more likely that no one needs chaos in delve because everyone has tons of fossils and resonators.

Delve is fine.

For the "regular players," the time spent exchange rate between Delve vs "Everything Else" is just fine. It's good, as a matter of fact.

Every "Power Player," or those that claim to be, has their own thing that they say is "The Best Thing Ever" for "_______." OK, that's great. Enjoy doing that, whatever it is. Have fun.

I enjoy Delve. I'm getting good gameplay satisfaction from Delve. I'm also have fun getting, from my perspective, a lot more currency drops in a Delve than I would vs some Maps or the time and Currency Investment it takes to get those Maps to a state where they might yield more raw Currency Drops.

Delve is fine. If one doesn't like it, one doesn't have to have anything to do with it. That's fine, too.

you don't have to be careful with claims like that if you've experienced both types of content, outside of quant farming pre nerf breaches this is definitely the most currency available to the common player, most long paths have a wealth chest on them somewhere.

One of the most noble, yet rarely seen royal guards - it's my honor! Huzzah! I unfortunately have to report that I do not spend time collecting virtual rocks whole day so I could have "fun" in the evening. Pal.

I'd be lying if I didn't admit that this is a great riposte, and one that makes me smile.

This post inspired me to delve for an hour straight and just see what I got out of it..

220 chaos (equivalents). In one hour.

73 chaos in pure currency, 80 chaos from a div card, and 67 chaos from fossils. I was delving depth 110-120 and I didn't use any particular strategy. I just picked a spot and started going. Also using a dominating blow build, which I don't think anyone considers top tier in terms of efficiency. Even if you take out the div card, I gained 140 chaos in an hour. I don't know how much the 1% earn in an hour, but that is insane for the average player.

I realize that OP is trolling and just creating an excuse to link his HH and mirror for the thousandth time, but to anyone else saying that delve isn't lucrative, I call BS. And that is just in terms of currency earning, that doesn't even take into account the XP per hour that is possible in delves.

Edit: I also did not do any city biomes or hidden nodes. Just regular nodes for an hour straight.

When I was 5 years old I used to tell everyone that I left my superman figure at the countryside but maybe next time I'll bring it to kindergarten with me, but I definitely have it! Seems like at 5 challenges you're as clever as I was when I was 5 years old.
