PoE 2: The Complete Simulacrum Farming Guide — How to Farm the Voices Jewel

Summary

The Voices unique jewel is one of the most sought-after items in Path of Exile 2, often selling for over 1,000 Divine Orbs. This guide covers everything you need to know about farming Simulacrums efficiently and maximizing your profits—even when the Voices jewel doesn't drop. Whether you're saving up to buy one outright or funding your Simulacrum streak, managing your POE2 Currency wisely is key to sustaining this farm and turning a profit over time.

What Is the Voices Jewel?

Voices is a unique Sapphire Jewel that, when equipped, allocates 2 to 4 Sinister Jewel Sockets on the left side of your character's passive tree.

The roll determines the value. A 2-passive Voices is worth around 40 Divines. A 3-passive Voices is worth roughly a Mirror. A 4-passive Voices commands seven to eight Mirrors. It's a massive gamble to identify them—you can always sell them unidentified for a fixed price and let someone else take the risk.

How to Get Voices

The Voices jewel drops exclusively from the Grand Mirror at the end of Simulacrum runs. There is no known way to increase the drop chance directly—it's pure RNG.

The speculative drop rate is roughly 1 in every 100 to 150 Simulacrums, around 1% or lower. Some players report Voices drops occurring every 3 to 6 Simulacrums, while others run over 20 with zero drops. The rates may have been adjusted in recent patches.

The good news? Even without hitting the Voices jackpot, Simulacrum farming can be extremely profitable. Here's how to maximize your returns.

How to Enter a Simulacrum

Method 1: Free Simulacrums (No Entry Cost)

Complete Delirium maps to spawn Grand Mirrors. Use three Delirium Tablets on your Atlas, complete the Delirium tier rewards in each map, and kill the boss for a chance at a Grand Mirror spawn.

A critical requirement: you must complete the Delirium tier rewards—the rewards shown at the bottom of the screen—to increase your chance of spawning Grand Mirrors. Simply clicking the Delirium mirror and rushing the boss gives you an extremely low chance.

Method 2: Purchased Simulacrums

Simulacrums can be bought on trade for around 2 to 3 Divines each. While this has an upfront cost, it saves significant time compared to farming Grand Mirrors. To activate, use the Simulacrum item on a node with at least 100% Deliriousness on your Atlas.

Getting 100% Deliriousness (Cheap Method)

Use Breach Tablets with "2 to 3 additional rare monsters when stabilized." Apply two of these tablets—usually, one or two maps is enough to reach 100% Deliriousness. This is a very cheap and efficient method.

The Simulacrum Run: What to Expect

A Simulacrum consists of 15 waves of increasingly difficult enemies. In the early waves (1 through 3), Deliriousness sits at 10 to 30 percent with item level 75 to 77 and around 4 rewards. Waves 4 through 9 jump to 40 to 90 percent Deliriousness, item level 78 to 83, and 5 rewards. The final waves, 10 through 15, hit 100 percent Deliriousness at item level 84 with 6 to 7 rewards.

As waves progress, monster life increases by up to 360 to 500 percent on rare and unique enemies, and damage scales up by 70 percent in later waves.

Good news: Unlike the description may suggest, Simulacrum has multiple revives—you can re-enter after death. This is why you don't need nodes like Stitch the Flesh for extra revives.

Juicing the Simulacrum for Maximum Returns

Waystones: Run 70% Monster Effect

Start with a 6-modded Waystone. Use Chaos Orbs to activate Chaotic Quantity, Chaotic Monsters, and Chaotic Rarity. This guarantees 70 percent monster effect. No need to corrupt—this setup works perfectly well as is. Desert biomes are ideal for maximum returns, though not strictly required.

In-Run Reward Choices

During the Simulacrum, you're offered bonus reward modifiers. Your first priority should always be Apex Predator—this adds an extra boss each wave, significantly increasing loot and rewards.

If you proc a 20 percent second choice, prioritize additional map modifiers. If you've already secured Apex Predator and additional modifiers, then additional monsters is a fine third option.

A good strategy tip: if you haven't gotten a second proc by around wave 5, take the additional map modifier anyway—consistency pays off.

Atlas Master: Doryani

Use Doryani as your Atlas Master with four specific nodes. Evolutionary Pressure increases rarity and monster effectiveness. Disengage Safeties makes maps Irradiated for item level 81. Improved Calibration increases Waystone modifier effectiveness. Volatile Connection helps spawn Cleansed or Corrupted areas.

You can also run Tier 16s—with Disengage Safeties, it becomes item level 81 zone, which can drop high-item-level bases and accessories.

Simulacrum Rewards (Beyond Voices)

Even without the Voices jackpot, Simulacrum farming can be consistently profitable. Players report multiple Divine Orbs per run on a good setup, along with Exalted Orbs, Perfect Jeweller's Orbs, Megalomaniac jewels, and T14 to T15 Waystones.

In well-optimized desert biome runs with 70 percent monster effect Waystones, players consistently report 2 to 4 Divines per Simulacrum in raw currency and sellable loot—enough to at least break even or turn a small profit on each run.

Key Tips for New Simulacrum Farmers

Pick up loot between waves — items disappear when you start a new wave. Use the Stash nearby to store your haul.

Build for survival — later waves are brutal. Invest in stun and freeze immunity, as getting immobilized is a death sentence. Dodge and Energy Shield are your best friends.

Don't get swarmed — the arena is small and enclosed. Never stop moving. Leap Slam enemies are particularly dangerous—constant movement is your primary defense.

Focus rare monsters first — affixes like Temporary Invulnerability or Bubble can trap you quickly.

Make a dedicated Simulacrum farmer — This content is specialized. Builds that clear maps quickly may struggle in Simulacrum's later waves. Consider a build specifically designed for survival and consistent wave clearing.

Boss priority — When Omniphobia and Kosis spawn together, prioritize Kosis. His ice beam and energy shield mechanics make him the bigger threat.

Summary: The Simulacrum Farming Loop

Prepare your Waystones with 70 percent monster effect, 6 mods, and Desert biomes preferred. Select Doryani with the four recommended nodes. Inside the Simulacrum, choose Apex Predator first, then additional map modifiers, then extra mobs in that priority order. Clear all 15 waves, focusing on survival and boss kills. Loot between waves—don't let items despawn. Then repeat, knowing that every run is a chance at that 1,000-plus Divine Voices jewel.
