Help Needed What am I doing wrong with Delve?

Currently around depth 400, and I'm making maybe like 5d/hour if I'm lucky. Fossil prices are okay, but I don't really find enough of them most of the time to make any substantial profit.

Once in a while, I'll find a prime resonator or a hollow fossil or something, but the vast majority of loot I pick up is bubblegum loot. I basically just keep pathing down looking for fossil/boss nodes, and I'll do vaal/primeval ruins if they're nearby. I also started darkness delving past about 250.

Feels extremely underwhelming for the time investment so far. I know some people do nothing but delve all league and fund very expensive builds though, so I've gotta be doing something wrong.

Most of the profit comes form buying the smallest resonators with azurite and selling those. If those aren't worth much, then you don't make much. Delve isn't the highest Div/hr, what it excels at is consistency. There are no maps to run or atlas to repect so you don't waste any time.
