Strategy
This is a low-cost Delirium farming loop built around stacking four Delirium tablets on city maps to flood the zone with Delirium monsters, which shower you in Simulacrum splinters and high-tier drops. The core idea is that your loot tier scales with how much deliriousness is applied to your character, so the strategy leans on cheap tablets and high monster rarity rather than a single expensive “increased fracturing mirrors” mod that has spiked in price.
An earlier version of this farm relied on a pricey fracturing-mirrors tablet that climbed from ~4-5 divine to 15-17 divine, with bricking entry costs that felt terrible on bad luck. This updated version drops that requirement entirely. By swapping to a cheap “Delirium fog in map applies increased deliriousness” tablet (around 5 chaos each) and stacking monster rarity instead, you get similar returns at a fraction of the entry cost — and it feels far less stressful to run because each map is nearly disposable.
It is best suited to players with a strong, fast clearing build. High deliriousness makes packs significantly tougher, so weaker characters will struggle. With a capable build, the creator reports roughly 7-12 divine per map and showcases a single hour of farming returning ~45 raw divine (and well over 100 divine in total value once tablets, fragments and uniques are counted) off less than 10 divine of investment.
Atlas Tree & Setup
The farm runs on city maps (Faridun = desert, Vaal = forest, Ezomite = grass), with the creator preferring Vaal cities anecdotally. Biome Atlas nodes matter: desert/grass for increased monster effectiveness, forest for increased number of rare monsters.
Key Atlas / mission picks:
- Partial Translations — randomly grants 0-40% increased effect of your tablets; with four tablets this is the most important node and can massively inflate total rare monsters.
- Unexpected Missions + corrupted way zones, plus Eastern Knowledge for better Verisium Remnant outcomes.
- Grand Projects on towers to open more of the map faster.
- General rare monster scaling — rares are what drive deliriousness up quickly.
Tablet setup (run four on each city map): increased deliriousness, increased stack size of splinters, monsters have increased effectiveness, and — most important — increased number of rare monsters. Cheap rolls are fine; only consider paying ~1 divine for a 23%+ deliriousness roll if you are stacking multipliers from the Atlas.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — tablets are ~5 chaos (or near-free without effectiveness), and crafted way-zone maps cost roughly 6-7 chaos each.
- Returns: high — approximately 7-12 divine per city map, with the creator citing ~150 divine of total value in one hour from under 10 divine invested.
- Scaling: loot scales with applied deliriousness and character rarity; aim for at least ~90% item rarity on your character (Andvarius, a gold Maugri’s Blood, etc.) to skew results upward.
Step-by-step
- Buy four cheap Delirium tablets per city run (deliriousness + splinter stack + effectiveness + increased rare monsters).
- Craft or buy way-zone maps with high monster rarity: take a 5-mod map (1 revive), apply Chaotic Rarity + Chaotic Effectiveness + Chaotic Quantity omens, then slam a Chaos Orb at one mod remaining to hit 103% monster rarity. Exalt + Vaal to gamble a T16 (which you can resell to recoup cost).
- Speed-run cheap pathing maps with at least one Delirium tablet each to spawn Mirrors of Delirium.
- When a Mirror spawns, place it on a city area and raise deliriousness toward ~150-200% by running adjacent non-city maps first.
- Run the fully-juiced city map with your four good tablets and a high-rarity character; collect splinters, divine and fragments.
- Repeat, rerunning city nodes when Mirror placement allows.
Risks
- Requires a strong, fast build — high deliriousness makes packs lethal for weaker characters.
- Vaal-orbing crafted maps can brick them (lose the 103% rarity); budget for some loss.
- Returns are variable — your mileage depends heavily on character rarity and RNG on Partial Translations / Jato rolls.
- City-map layouts get repetitive; corrupting maps to swap layouts helps but adds a brick chance.
