Is Delve actually buffed?

I ran some tests at depth 700 in standard and couldn't tell a difference t o last league in terms of fossil drops or fossil nodes in newly generated map chunks.

How are your experiences with the reworked delve so far ?

Isn't 700 too low to be testing at? I thought the changes were higher up.

deep delve got nerfed, but the lower depths allegedly have their rewards buffed to make it more appealing.

I'm just curious to what extent the lower depths actually got buffed

Don't know if "updated" means nerfed/buffed. They just included the new league content to bring the encounters up to date with the new leagues.
GGG false marketing of buff.....

I have been sideways Delving at 200-250 to try and see. So far I can't quite tell. What I should be doing is leveling a 90-95 character to see if the XP/hr got buffed or not on top of that.

My personal feeling about very low-delving (before 100) that loot got nerfed. I see less things at all and less worthy loot. I still didn't get further.
While they told us it was buffed at lower levels, I think they've pulled the wool over our eyes to make it seem like it was buffed.
Do I see a lot more of those ultra rare fossil nodes at depth 230-ish? Yes but Bloodstained fossils aren't worth shit, and when it takes you a couple of hours to get 2 of them to sell for 13c each it's not very rewarding.

This is my Fossil tab, nothing spectacular, and note that this is from a combination of Delving to depth 230, Heist, Ritual and wherever else they drop from.
I have used a half dozen or so of the single resonators and Dense fossils so add those to this list.
Last league I had a lot more than this for the same amount of effort, if I had to guess I would say double this amount.


Around depth 200, behind walls, rewards are certainly better then last league. If you ignore walls, is as bad as previously.

Yeah i think the behind walls areas are better from what i've seen, more fossils in general.

Not as good as it should be though you still get functionally nothing behind 50% of walls and it doesn't feel very specialized, also resonators probably need to be more common I buy most of my smalls with Azurite because it never drops enough.

I'd say a modest buff as best guess
