Strategy
This is a cautionary “farm to avoid” breakdown of repeatedly killing the Delirium pinnacle boss for profit. On paper it looks like an ideal lazy farm: a fast, repeatable boss you summon by feeding Raven’s Reflections into the Willow, with a chance at high-ticket drops like the Raven-Touched Shard and unidentified Rubies. The creator stress-tested it over 100 runs to see whether the spreadsheet math survives contact with real drop rates and a moving market — and concluded it does not.
The headline drops are real but rare. The Raven-Touched Shard (a helmet anoint, ~109 div at recording) and unidentified Rubies (~16 div each, used to allocate from a second tree start) are what carry the farm, with Sadist’s Mercy, Raven’s Flock staves, and high-item-level bases as filler. The problem is variance and price decay: across 100 runs the creator hit exactly one Shard and three Rubies.
The verdict: at recording-day prices the 100 runs netted only ~7.6 divines of profit (~3 div/hr). Worse, while waiting days to sell, the Shard fell to ~70 div, Rubies to ~8 div each, and Raven’s Reflections rose to ~2.4 div each — which would have flipped the whole test to a net loss of ~45 div/hr. Treat this as a documented trap, not a recommendation.
Atlas Tree & Setup
No atlas tree is needed — this is a pure boss-rush farm. Unlock the boss via the first couple of Delirium quests, then feed Raven’s Reflections (bought from the Currency Exchange, or farmed from Simulacrum runs) into the Willow to summon him. The creator ran Doryani’s pantheon-style bonus (25% chance for an additional unique from all kills) and ~90 item rarity on gear to maximize drops. Specifics to confirm against the source video.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: mid (~1.9–2.4 div per run for Raven’s Reflections) · Returns: low — ~3 div/hr at recording, negative once prices corrected · does not scale safely
- Drop rates observed over 100 runs: 1x Raven-Touched Shard, 3x Rubies, plus a few Raven’s Flock staves and minor bases.
- Throughput: ~43 runs/hr when fully optimized.
Step-by-step
- Complete the first Delirium quests to unlock the pinnacle boss.
- Acquire Raven’s Reflections (Currency Exchange or Simulacrum drops).
- Run high item rarity and a bonus-unique pantheon (e.g. Doryani-style).
- Feed Reflections into the Willow and kill the boss on repeat.
- Sell drops — but check live prices first; the big-ticket items decay fast.
Risks
- High variance: big-ticket drops are rare enough that a small sample can swing wildly.
- Price decay: Shard and Ruby prices crashed within days while Reflection cost rose, flipping profit negative.
- Liquidity: it took ~4 days to offload the loot, during which the market moved against the farm.
- Bottom line: the creator concluded this is a bait farm and would not run it again.
