Strategy
This is a Delirium-focused method aimed at farming Simulacrums (and their splinters) as a simple, repeatable currency source outside the usual Expedition and Temple routines. Simulacrums sell for roughly 2.7–3 divines each at the time of recording, and because buyers tend to purchase one or two at a time and round up, you can reliably move them near the top of that range. Blast Delirium-juiced maps, bank Simulacrum splinters into full Simulacrums, and sell.
There are two ways to run it — inside a city and outside a city — and it works both with and without a Grand Mirror and full Delirium coverage on your maps. The city variant leans on more expensive tablets but concentrates the Delirium value; the outside variant is cheaper per map. Pick based on how much you want to invest per set.
Atlas Tree & Setup
The core setup is Delirium tablets slotted into your map areas to push Delirium percentage, then rolling maps for the mods that best multiply Delirium/Simulacrum returns. Cheap tablets ran about 4 divines each and expensive (city) tablets about 9–11 divines each at the time of recording — prices spike fast, so confirm current tablet costs before committing. Exact atlas passives and tablet mod priorities should be confirmed against the source video.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: mid — tablets are the main cost. The video’s 50-map test cost 57 divines (30 regular maps + 20 city maps), buying cheap tablets for regular maps and a couple of expensive tablets for the city sets.
- Returns: high — even with tablet prices spiking mid-test, the run stayed profitable off Simulacrum sales at ~3 div each plus general map loot. Scales with how hard you juice Delirium and whether you run the city variant.
Step-by-step
- Stock Delirium tablets — cheap ones for regular maps, a few expensive ones if running the city variant.
- Roll maps for mods that boost Delirium/monster value.
- Choose your variant: inside-city (fewer maps, pricier tablets, concentrated value) or outside-city (cheaper per map).
- Blast the maps, prioritising Delirium clear and picking up Simulacrum splinters.
- Combine splinters into full Simulacrums.
- Sell Simulacrums near the top of the market range (buyers commonly round up), and repeat.
Risks
- Tablet prices are volatile and can spike out of control, thinning margins — always price-check before buying a batch.
- Requires a build that can clear Delirium-juiced maps quickly; slow clear kills the div/hour.
- Simulacrum price depends on live demand; liquidate steadily rather than dumping all at once.
