Summary
Simulacrum farming is one of the most rewarding endgame activities in Path of Exile 2, offering players the opportunity to earn valuable currency and chase one of the game's rarest unique jewels, Voices. This guide explains how the system works, how to access Simulacrums efficiently, and which strategies beginners should follow to improve both consistency and profitability.
What Is the Voices Jewel?
Voices is one of the most valuable unique cluster jewels available in Path of Exile 2. Depending on the number of passive skills between its jewel sockets, its value can range from hundreds of Divine Orbs to several Mirrors. Because of its rarity and powerful socket expansion, it remains a highly sought-after item throughout a league.
For beginners, it is important to understand that Voices is an extremely rare drop. It should be viewed as a long-term bonus rather than something you expect to obtain quickly.
Where Does Voices Drop?
The Voices jewel can only drop from the boss encountered at the end of a Simulacrum. Current community observations suggest the drop rate is extremely low, with estimates placing it at roughly one drop every 100 to 150 Simulacrums.
Since there is no confirmed method to directly increase the jewel's drop chance, successful farming focuses on maximizing the value of every Simulacrum run rather than relying on the unique drop itself.
How to Unlock Simulacrums
Before entering a Simulacrum, you first need to generate a Grand Mirror through Delirium content.
The general progression is straightforward:
Complete Delirium maps.
Finish the map objective and Delirium rewards.
Trigger a Grand Mirror.
Activate the Grand Mirror to create a Simulacrum encounter.
Use Simulacrum items if you want to run additional encounters beyond the free one.
Finishing the Delirium reward objectives is important. Simply rushing to the boss significantly reduces the likelihood of spawning a Grand Mirror, making full map completion the more efficient approach.
Building Delirium Efficiently
A practical way to reach 100% Delirium is by using Breach encounters with modifiers that add additional rare monsters. This allows players to build Delirium quickly without requiring expensive investments.
Running multiple Delirium tablets also increases your opportunities to spawn Grand Mirrors. While tablet modifiers are not especially restrictive, completing all available Delirium rewards before defeating the map boss provides the best overall results.
Free Farming vs. Investing
There are two main approaches to Simulacrum farming.
The first is a self-sustaining method where players continuously generate Grand Mirrors through normal gameplay. This requires more time but has little to no currency investment.
The second approach is purchasing Simulacrum items directly from other players. Although this requires an upfront investment, it allows far more farming sessions within the same amount of playtime.
Newer players are generally better served by the self-generated approach until they become comfortable with the encounter mechanics.
Preparing Your Maps
Monster density and difficulty greatly influence your rewards.
Using Waystones with approximately 70% increased Monster Effect provides an excellent balance between difficulty and loot. Many experienced players achieve this by rolling multiple beneficial modifiers with Chaos Orbs instead of relying on corruption.
Desert biome maps are commonly preferred because they offer efficient layouts and strong overall returns, although other biomes remain perfectly viable if Desert maps are unavailable.
