In Path of Exile, Delirium Orbs are a type of Currency used to enhance Atlas. They add Delirium layers to the map, granting players substantial rewards.
Therefore, as each patch progresses into its mid-to-late stages, the demand for Delirium Orbs increases significantly, and Patch 3.29 Curse of the Allflame is no exception. Whether you need Delirium Orbs themselves or hope to exchange them for Divine Orbs, you'll need an efficient method for farming them.
And there is a simple yet efficient method in the game that allows you to farm a large number of Delirium Orbs in a short time.
Delirium Mirror Mechanism
The core of this farming method is utilizing Delirium Mirrors mechanic in Path of Exile Patch 3.29.
Specifically, when you touch a Delirium Mirror on the map, a gray fog will spread outwards from the mirror image into the depths of the map.
Monsters within the fog's coverage area will be fogged up; killing them will increase your Delirium progress.
Each time you accumulate a certain amount of progress in the reward counter, you unlock a reward level. At the final reward point, you'll receive a Loot Explosion with rewards including our objective, Delirium Orbs, Simulacrum Splinters, and other high-value items.
Therefore, you need to maximize your reward counter progress before the challenge ends to increase your reward levels.
Additionally, you should try to kill monsters in areas with high fog density, as the deeper you go into the fog, the more Simulacrum Splinters you'll obtain. However, the monsters will also be stronger.
Furthermore, in Delirium Mirror, players have a chance to encounter two exclusive bosses - Kosis and Omniphobia. Defeating them will grant players a large amount of reward counters and generous loot. So, don't miss them if you encounter them.
Scarab Selection
Understanding the basic farming methods is just the first step. Next, players can significantly improve their efficiency in each map by using specific Scarab combinations.
According to player community testing, in PoE Patch 3.29, three types of Delirium Scarabs can increase the rewards of Delirium Mirror gameplay, and the cost is not high; you only need a small amount of currency to acquire a large quantity of them.
Delirium Scarab of Paranoia
This scarab allows two additional reward types to be generated in Delirium encounters. More reward types mean a higher probability of obtaining Delirium Orbs at the end. This scarab costs only about 20 Chaos Orbs, making it very cheap.
Delirium Scarab of Mania
This scarab increases the reward counter's fill speed by 100%; fog density increases by 50% with distance from the mirror. At current market prices, one Chaos Orb can be exchanged for one scarab.
Not only does it allow your reward stacks to accumulate faster, but the higher fog density also means more Simulacrum Splinter drops.
Delirium Scarab of Neuroses
This scarab guarantees the appearance of a specific boss in each Delirium encounter, and defeating any boss increments all of the player's reward type counters by one.
Since the boss is guaranteed to appear, this means that players will receive at least two progress boosts per map, along with additional rewards for defeating the boss.
Based on repeated player testing, the optimal combination for this farming method is 1 Mania + 1 Neuroses + 3 Paranoia.
Map Selection
Map selection also significantly impacts farming efficiency. Maps suitable for this method need to meet three conditions: linear terrain, high monster density, and prominent boss locations.
In POE Patch 3.29, four maps meet these conditions: Beach, Strand, Tropical Island, and City Square.
Beach is widely considered the most suitable choice for the vast majority of players. Its terrain is open, monster density is moderate, and boss locations are easily accessible, making its overall difficulty neither too high nor too low.
Strand, as a classic linear map, boasts one of the highest monster counts of all maps, but it's also the most difficult, requiring a sufficiently powerful build to clear efficiently.
Tropical Island is another classic map long used by players to farm Delirium Orbs. Its straight path makes movement very convenient, and the boss is relatively easy, but it still demands a certain level of build.
For players whose character build isn't high enough, City Square is a good alternative. This map's advantage is its conciseness; the boss can be killed quickly, but the drop rate of Delirium Orbs is relatively low.
Atlas Passive Tree Node Selection
Finally, you'll need to use Atlas Passive Tree to increase rewards and monster count.
First, you should prioritize unlocking all Delirium-related passive skills, especially the following two - The Singular Eternity and Descent Into Madness.
The former reduces dissipation rate of Delirium by 30%, giving you more time to clear the entire map and avoid wasting accumulated counter progress due to insufficient time.
The latter, along with two smaller passive skills below it, can further increase the difficulty of Delirium and amount of reward drops, but only if your build can withstand higher monster strength.
The above is a detailed method for farming large amounts of Delirium Orbs and other high-value currency by farming Delirium Mirror in Path of Exile Curse of the Allflame.
It's worth noting that with game updates, even more efficient methods may emerge. You can follow EZG Facebook page to stay updated on the latest game news and avoid missing out.
