Strategy
This is a cheap Delirium splinter-farming strategy built around triple Delirium tablets and high monster rarity. The goal is to flood maps with Simulacrum Splinters (plus mirror shards and fracturing-mirror loot), then liquidate everything quickly. Because Simulacrum Splinters drop from delirious monsters — and rarer monsters drop more — the whole plan leans on stacking monster rarity rather than expensive juice. The creator deliberately keeps tablet cost under ~1 divine each so the strategy stays profitable even if tablet prices rise.
It suits anyone with a reasonably tanky mapper who wants a low-effort, high-liquidity currency farm: Simulacrum Splinters sell instantly, and the strategy doesn’t depend on rare chase-item drops to be worth running.
Atlas Tree & Setup
Run triple Delirium tablets: one with increased fracturing mirrors, one with increased mirror shards, and one with more-likely unique boss, layering increased Simulacrum Splinter stacks and monster rarity across all three. Maps want 60%+ (ideally 65%+) monster rarity with some effectiveness and pack size, all kept at ~1 chaos per map. Long, linear layouts (Ravine, forest, grass, swamp) maximize splinter drops because Delirium spreads with you from start to boss — avoid big circular layouts. For the Atlas tree, Doryani or Jeoah are the strongest masters; the cheap-tablet path values extra effectiveness, extra rare-monster mods, free Irradiate (+1), the 25% prefix/suffix effect node, and free Cleansed. Specifics to confirm against the source video.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — roughly 3 divine per 10 maps (tablets under 1 div each, maps ~1 chaos)
- Returns: high — the creator’s 50-map sample produced ~169 divine profit, about 3.38 div/map and ~39 div/hour (45 div/hr counting one lucky glove drop)
- Scaling: spend more on better tablets (more rarity/splinter stacks) for higher per-map yield; splinters are instantly liquidatable to NPCs or runnable yourself
Step-by-step
- Buy triple Delirium tablets (fracturing mirrors / mirror shards / unique boss) with added Simulacrum Splinter stacks and monster rarity, under ~1 div each.
- Buy cheap (~1c) maps with 60%+ monster rarity, favoring long linear forest/grass/swamp layouts.
- Spec the Atlas tree into Delirium with Doryani or Jeoah plus the cheap-tablet support nodes.
- Run maps fully — break every mirror and scout the whole map so the Delirium reaches the boss for maximum splinter drops.
- Sell Simulacrum Splinters (or run the Simulacrums yourself) and offload mirror shards/tablets.
Risks
- Slightly slow — you must break every mirror and fully scout each map (~52 minutes per 10 maps)
- Can be rippy on a non-tanky character; the Doryani extra-revive node helps
- Splinter drops occasionally dip to 30–40 instead of the usual 150+ for unclear reasons (possible layout/bug/checkpoint quirk)
- Profit relies on tablet/splinter prices holding; cheap-tablet focus mitigates this
