Strategy
This is a profitability breakdown of farming Tangmazu, the new Delirium pinnacle boss, rather than a pure “get rich” guide — and the honest conclusion is that it is only marginally worth it. Tangmazu is accessed by spending Ravens Reflections (gathered from Simulacrum), and his chase drops are Raven Touch shards (used to anoint helmets) and Split Personality unique rubies (let you re-anchor passive tree starts). The creator ran 100 fights back-to-back and tracked every drop in a spreadsheet.
The result: across 102 runs over about 7 hours, profit landed at roughly 5–10 divine per hour depending on current prices. Raven Touch shards are the only big-ticket drop and they are rare — two across the whole session — while the bulk of the loot (Ospixes, Vell Piercers, Sadus’ Mercy, lineage gems) is near-worthless. Prices also fell hard after the 0.5.3 patch, dragging returns down further.
It is an easy, low-effort farm you can do while half-watching something else, but the EV is comparable to just running good maps.
Atlas Tree & Setup
For the Atlas master, the creator goes with Doryani (“Head of the Snake”) so pinnacle bosses have a 25% chance to drop an additional unique — useful because Split Personality rubies are uniques. Jada is skipped (his pinnacle bonus is tied to near-worthless lineage gems), and whether Hilda’s lethal-adaptation modifiers apply to Tangmazu is unconfirmed — test it yourself if you want more Raven Touch shards. Specifics to confirm against the source video.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: mid — Ravens Reflections cost roughly 1.5–1.9 divine each and are consumed per fight
- Returns: ~5–10 divine per hour at post-patch prices; Raven Touch shards (~70 divine) are the only real payout and drop rarely
- Scaling: getting lucky on Raven Touch shard drops is the only thing that meaningfully moves the needle
Step-by-step
- Farm or buy Ravens Reflections (from Simulacrum) — you need a stack to chain fights
- Set the Doryani master for the extra-unique chance
- Update your loot filter to catch Raven Touch shards and Split Personality rubies
- Run fights back-to-back — the arena is tiny and easy, especially for projectile/Twister builds
- Track your spend vs. drops; bail if shard luck is poor, since the floor loot is worthless
Risks
- Returns are mediocre (~5 div/hr) — you can match this just running maps
- Raven Touch shards are rare and the rest of the loot pool has almost no value
- Post-patch price decay hit both the shards and the rubies
