PoE 2 Patch 0.5: Best Delirium Farming Strategy – 100 Divine Orbs/Hour Currency Guide

Summary

Patch 0.5 has introduced several strong farming strategies, and this Delirium splinter farm stands among the top performers for generating POE2 Currency. With current prices, this strategy can generate approximately 80–100 Divine Orbs per hour, depending on your clear speed and preparation. The biggest upside is the flexibility and low cost of the tablets involved—testing has been done with simple one-divine tablets, with a wide pool of affordable alternatives available. The farm primarily drops Simulacrums (which remain in high demand for Voices farming) and raw Divine Orbs, making it incredibly easy to liquidate your profits.

Core Strategy Overview

The main focus is farming Simulacrum Splinters and Simulacrums themselves, with a significant amount of raw currency as a bonus. If you don't have rarity on your gear, try to get at least some—aiming for around 97% rarity can noticeably improve raw currency drops.

Atlas Setup

The key requirement is 200% Delirium Citadels. Apply a Grand Mirror to your Citadel (for example, V Citadel) and run those maps with four tablets. Citadels allow four tablets instead of the standard three, making them significantly more efficient for this strategy. While you can run the same approach in normal 200% maps with three tablets, Citadels are strongly recommended given the low cost of tablets.

Getting Delirious Fog

When running basic maps with basic Delirium tablets, you have a chance for a Grand Mirror to appear nearby. After completing that map, you can apply deliriousness to a specific set of maps. You'll need to complete several maps in the surrounding area to raise your Delirium level from 10% to 200% before starting proper farming in your Citadel.

Atlas Master Choice: Jado

Jado is the recommended Atlas Master for this strategy. His Unexpected Missions node provides the key benefit: corrupted Waystones open with one additional modifier, and when combined with Partial Translations (20% chance for double effect of explicit modifiers on tablets), the synergy with four tablets is absolutely massive.

Doryani is a viable alternative with Volatile Connection for clear speed and Disengage Safeties for irradiation, but Jado's tablet bonuses make him the superior choice for this specific farm.

Atlas Tree Priorities:

Nemesis Rising (additional rare monsters) is essential—it stacks exceptionally well with Delirium

Desert Mastery for effectiveness (if your Citadel is in a Desert biome)

Forest Mastery for more rare monsters (Forest biomes)

Grass Mastery for general effectiveness bonuses

The rest of the Atlas tree should focus on tablet bonuses and effectiveness nodes. While pack size is valuable, the testing suggests effectiveness provides better returns, especially with the Delirium tree bonuses.

Tablet Selection

The testing used affordable tablets with three core modifiers. The most important modifier is increased stack size of Simulacrum Splinters—aim for roughly 28%, though you can go as low as 25% to save currency. The second essential modifier is increased number of rare monsters. These two stats form the foundation of the farm.

The third modifier provides flexibility. Delirium monsters in maps have increased pack size is the preferred option—more pack size gives more monsters and more splinters. Alternatively, you can use increased magic monsters if available cheaply.

Budget Alternative: If prices jump after this video, you can drop the pack size modifier entirely and focus only on splinter stack size plus rare monsters. There are thousands of such tablets available for 1–4 chaos, making this a resilient strategy that won't be heavily impacted by price spikes. You can still add magic monsters as an affordable filler prefix if you like.

Waystone Crafting

There are two primary ways to craft your Waystones for this strategy.

Option 1: Tablets Have Pack Size

If your tablets already have pack size modifiers, start with a four-modifier Waystone. Use a single Exalted Orb to reach five modifiers, leaving one open slot. Apply Chaotic Effectiveness, Chaotic Rarity, and Chaotic Quantity together—this requires that one open modifier slot. Use a Chaos Orb to reroll, aiming for 100% monster rarity. Finally, fill the last slot with another Exalted Orb.

Your perfect Waystone will have roughly 100% monster rarity and some pack size on top.

Option 2: Waystones Have Pack Size

If you're running pack size on the Waystone itself, craft with Chaotic Quantity plus Chaotic Effectiveness and Chaotic Rarity. Use a Chaos Orb until you hit monster rarity (around 62%) and pack size (around 26%). Then corrupt it with a Vaal Orb.

Critical: Corrupting Waystones is mandatory when using Jado, as Unexpected Missions requires corrupted Waystones to activate its bonuses. Aim for higher monster rarity—more rares mean more Simulacrum Splinters and more raw currency.

Expected Returns

In a 55-minute test run covering 10 maps, the results were impressive. From Simulacrums alone, the run yielded 20 Simulacrums worth approximately 54 Divine Orbs. Raw currency added another 23 Divine Orbs directly. Chaos Orbs contributed roughly 6 Divine Orbs, and additional drops including Greater Exalted Orbs, Orbs of Annulment, and a Vision of Paradise added about 5 Divine Orbs more. The total came to 85–90 Divine Orbs in just under an hour.

Per-map average: With good modifiers, a single map can drop nearly four Simulacrums, four raw Divines, and 237 splinters—a lucky but not impossible result. Most maps will yield 1–2 raw Divines and 1–2 Simulacrums.

Estimated Rates:

Fast build clearing maps in 5–6 minutes: Up to 100 Divines per hour

Average build clearing in 7–8 minutes: 60–80 Divines per hour

Running in non-Citadel maps with three tablets: Still profitable, but returns will be lower

Farming Tips

Clear everything. All monsters drop splinters, so incomplete clears hurt your returns significantly. If your build struggles in 200% Delirium, this strategy can still work with lower Delirium levels, though returns will be reduced proportionally.

Watch your map modifiers. Magic and rare monster modifiers substantially increase your loot. The best maps will have high monster rarity and pack size.

Biome selection matters. Forest biomes provide additional rare monster bonuses, making them the preferred choice. Desert biomes offer effectiveness bonuses as a solid secondary option. Grass biomes provide general loot effectiveness.

Why This Farm is Sustainable

Simulacrums will remain in high demand as players continue farming Voices, making this strategy consistently profitable throughout the league. The tablet pool is deep enough that prices are unlikely to spike significantly. Even a budget version with only splinter stack size and rare monsters remains profitable.

Alternative Adaptations:

If your build specializes in Breach, consider running 200% Delirium Breach maps instead

Expedition farming with similar tablet setups can offer comparable returns with different mechanics

Rarity on gear (around 97% in testing) noticeably improves raw Divine drops

Final Checklist

Build up Delirium fog to 200% on your chosen Citadel

Equip four tablets with splinter stack size plus rare monsters (minimum)

Roll Waystones with Chaotic Effectiveness plus Chaotic Rarity

Corrupt your Waystones for Jado's bonuses

Run with Jado as your Atlas Master

Full clear every map—every monster matters

Sell Simulacrums and raw currency directly

This strategy provides stable, consistent income with flexible entry requirements and minimal price volatility risk. Whether you're running a 100-Divine build or a 500-Divine powerhouse, the returns scale with your clear speed. Happy farming, exiles!
