[3.12] Brittleknee's Darkness Farmer - 200+ Depth, Fossils, Resonators, Currency - Video Included!

Would this build work as a heirophant if you got all of the same passive tree nodes? I looked at the PoB and you can get all the same nodes with just 10 more levels so the only thing you are missing would be the pathfinder ascendant node. Is the flask sustain that pivotal to the build?

Do I need a watcher's eye and a solstice vigil to get this build up and going?

Yes, its quite important. Since we don't kill any monsters, there's no way to fill flask charges otherwise.

1. Why Lavianga Spirit?
2. If we take life on the tree and have plenty of life on the gear we expect to not get oneshotted then wouldn't instant life flask or half-instant life flask help a lot if things go south? Is it not practical with such a high life recovery?
3. No Onslaught flask?
4. Is it possible to survive 200-400 depths with way less life? There is potential for so much more movement speed - belt with 36% during flask effect, a lot from green Temple jewels, etc. etc.
5. Did you considered version without Indigon? Any thoughts?
6. Are Ichimonj important? Something like https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Allure would give a lot of movement speed. There is also shield with up to 20% ms.

Lavi's is the single most powerful mana throughput in the game. Mana is life. Its hard to tell on paper just how powerful the mana recovery is without putting it together and feeling it. You cannot even touch the amount of recovery you get from mana flasks with life regeneration, recovery, flask or otherwise. Remember, you're also diverting up to 48% of incoming damage into your mana pool due to MoM scaling.

You can add an onslaught flask if you'd prefer it over any of the others. I prefer a defensive flask setup versus speedy since I farm at 600-1000. Also can add smoke mine, too.

Can change the gear up if you'd like, she's pretty modular. Most of the money comes from resonator sales than speed of finding fossils/boxes so you want to be tough since you have to wait around for the azurite to pop out of the node anyways, and push as far down depth-wise as you can for more of it.

No, it will not function without Indigon. An argument can be made for Wind Dancer over Agnostic and possibly dropping Solstice Vigil initially at shallower depths until you can afford it, but Indigon is the foundation that the entire build is built on.

Again, speed isn't everything. In a future update to the build that is coming after we see patch notes, some of the current Aura scaling will be re-distributed to other nodes. Therefore, they will be more important than ever.

brittleknee, I just don't understand how exactly Lavianga would help us. Do we run out of mana a lot and can't cast phase run or something?

You comfortably farm depths 600-1000 with such build? How is t going? O_o

Also is Ichimonji really that important? It's just 10% increased buff effect per sword and it won't make us invisible or make us reach some specific important threshold OR will it? :o Is it mandatory for that build to function?

I see. But I if I farm depths 200-400 or something I still can neglect life a lot and get more speed, right?

Lavi's offers huge amounts of mana recovery which, because of Indigon, means huge amount of life recovery. As you approach 250+ stacks of darkness, the incoming darkness degen damage cannot be mitigated by the Eternal flask alone. You periodically tap Lavi's with more and more frequently to sustain until things get uncomfortable, then flair to reset your stacks.

Farming at 600+ nearly doubles what you can make in your Chaos/Hr due to the amount of Azurite per node. Right now at the end of the league, resonators are not very profitable, but in the middle of it, a 2 socket chaos resonator was 5C, and costs 750 Azurite, and you were getting 500+ Azurite a click per node. Sometimes, depending on your route, you'd click anywhere between 6 and 10 Azurite nodes, and then you'd factor in your fossils, raw currency and other items on top of it for your total profit.

At 200-400 you'll still want *some* life. After all, your success will be determined at your ability to survive an incoming hit. If you neglect too much, you'll die too much, simply because unlike previous iterations of darkness farming, you do have to take a punch or two.

I get eye with phasing while grace. Do i need to buff my phase run? I got 6l Queen of The Forest and don't know is that even worth to have extra one socket. Im prepering to start runing into the darknes, but whana be sure i understand evrything before i switch from cyclon to speeeeeeeeeeeeeeed lady.

My current colected gear:



I spend around 4 exalted in end of metamorph league. Can make it cheaper but have uselees money. I'm now in 100 deph and can push deeper but dont have too mutch time before league ends. Whana know is worth to rush that kind of bulid or better start some tanky boi and make most of the content and comeback with bag of money and delve already pushed into ~400.

Just your personal opinion.
If you know some kind of graph about fossils occur per deph it will be fantastic :D

You enhance Phase Run for MS and Skill Effect Duration, you'll still want to move fast for longer, so still worth the Qual % on the Gem and the Enhance, etc.

It's best to clear down with another build then build this lady later. Her main uniques are very expensive early-league, so don't stress yourself out trying to get them. Play a build for progressing the Atlas, Bossing, or Lab Farming, then use the money to dig down and then level her.

Fossils are not affected by Depth, but rather by Biome. I've included that in the FAQ. As far as data regarding fossil prevalence per depth, only GGG knows that. Even if I were to collect data, there are too many variables in route length, nodes per route, etc, to try and control for an accurate number.

The amount of Azurite you get out of the Rich Azurite Veins scale by depth, and a vast majority of your profits are going to be by selling resonators that you buy from Niko with the Azerite. Likewise the reward chests like Currency, Jewelry, etc will have more stuff in them at depths. I've seen no incidence down to 1000 where I got more fossils than the normal one per.

Thanks for answer. Btw now i have see that whathers yey gives haste while haste....

Gl hf in Delirium!

This question might be already have been answered, but does it matter for your route that you stay within a "zone"? Like only in frozen hollows, or can the route move through different zones?

Im at 320~ depth in standard but i can't find a suitable route for me. I try to run a square so that i also come out on a already completed node, it is faster since you don't have to logout.

If i stay on the normal version of this build, how hard will it get at depth 400-500?
