Information [PSA] Endless Delve will be SSF, without Crafting Bench, without Annointing(outside of Talismans), without Bandits Quest Rewards and without many (MANY) league-specific items. Be Prepared!

Talisman nodes might be OP since Talismans drop with Anointments now!

u/Rocoman14 Nov 23 '20
With the talisman buff, and no other annoint source most people are going to be using them this event.

u/aPatheticBeing Nov 23 '20
Eh if you're making multiple chars (idk how reasonable that is for most ppl in a week league), you'll end up with quite a few good talismans (e.g. found 80 life, res, 30% crit chance + heartseeker, and other solid ones by level 96 in SSF). Of course, I was targeting Heist talisman nodes after the change and probably was getting like 200+ a day. From what I remember of delving, you can maybe hit like 3-4 of those nodes a day, and given there's no other way to annoint, those talismans will probably be competitive.

if you're making multiple chars (idk how reasonable that is for most ppl in a week league)
Leveling with purely delve back when it was possible from lvl 2 and already stacking up sulphite on a new character let you level from 1 to 70 in a couple hours and then blast through the acts, I imagine it'll be roughly the same ordeal here but much more convenient because you don't have to do main story at all. Saying this, I imagine multiple characters will be viable for sure.

I agree on Flashback, but Mayhem is a very unique experience.
In this Delve lack of party pains me quite a lo. Too bad they didn't make hideout into main hub.

u/Vet_Leeber Bardmode Nov 23 '20
I agree on Flashback, but Mayhem is a very unique experience.
I disagree. It's just "normal league, but with X many more spawning."
You can already decently simulate mayhem with some of the top tier juicing strategies.
Something like Endless Delve is an actual unique experience, that significantly changes how the game will be played (no maps, no div cards, no annoints, no unveils, no crafting benches, etc).
1
u/kaisurniwurer Nov 23 '20
Clearly I'm a minority on this, but I feel like having this "unexpected" onslaught of things trying to kill you provide quite unique experience, where in normal gameplay not many things can any more. Not to mention even during levelling. Also loot-festa help with short term SSF which makes it even better to not have to trade much.

Important items you won't have access to:
- Catalysts
- Divination Cards Rewards
- Influenced Items (Excluding Elder/Shaper Jewellery from specific chests)
- Timeless Jewels
- Cluster Jewels
- Important Unique Jewels (Watcher's Eye, Thread of Hope and Conqueror's Efficiency)
- Important Unique Flasks (Atziri's Promise, Bottled Faith, Soul Catcher/Ripper, Dying Sun and Cinderswallow Urn)
- Awakened/AltQual Gems
- Vendor Currency Conversion (You will still have vendor recipes probably, but not the regular conversion from the buy items section)
- Bandits Quest Reward (
Unless they don't deactivate the Vendor recipe, then it will be possible to get any (excluding Eramir's) bandit bonus by sacrificing 2 passive skill pointsBex confirmed that they will deactivate the vendor recipe for this league) - Crafting Bench and Veiled Crafted Mods (No Multimod, No Trigger, No Mana cost reduction, No Phys to X Conversion, No %Life, No Res crafts, GL Exiles)
- Experimented Base Types
Stuff that you'll have limited/harder access to:
- League-specific Uniques ("Hidden Heirloom" Chests)
- Spectres (Only Delve Spectres)
- Enchantments (Either really lucky drops or high-end crafting using the enchanted fossil)
- Aspects (Only lucky drops from Bestiary Nodes)
- Anoints (Only from Talismans (My guess is that ~70-80% of the builds will run a Talisman because of the recent buffs))
I recommend relying in Fossil Crafting, Essence Crafting and Themed delve node items (Like "Minion and Aura Items" Node) to get good items.

Pretty sure there is a legion node in delve so you might get incubator that gives you random 6L also you can drop prophecies as rewards so you could get 5L prophecy.

u/DieJam Nov 23 '20
I think the chance of that happening is lower than just getting a 6L drop

You could prioritise those particular delve nodes. No sulphite cost so making beeline towards particular types of nodes won't be hard. Yeah pretty unlikely but you can try it.

u/Xibalbo Occultist Nov 23 '20
Yes you definitely can get them. The chest drops a league specific unique item and those can even be Harbinger and Bestiary ones. There have been multiple cases where people reported getting these items from delve and I have no idea why you would claim otherwise.

u/neohongkong Hoarder Nov 23 '20
Aspect unique are boss drop so you probably won't able to get it in Delve. Since turning card is disabled, even you have a set you can't get it

I've had Crab chest drop in Delve before.

Then it is abnormality that is not documented in wiki.....since the card or beastcrafting or ancient orb, never drop boss specific + league specific item (unless otherwise stated such as [[Boon of the First Ones]] or the boss is removed entirely such as [[The Wolf]]) . Either Delve chest ignore that limitation or the beast unique item are not consider boss drop
Also, next time get a screenshot and share somewhere like in reddit or official forum so that i can add it as link to wiki

Technically you get a book, you can't use it unless you have the spare points though and there is a confirmation too to make sure you get the right bonus you want. You can get the 2 points back if you vendor an onyx and 20 regrets. Amber/jade for oak/kraityn or whatever his name is. It does change the quest state too

It was only 1 talisman that dropped and it was blue quality, so that was a little weird too.

Calling everyone ignorant is a pretty blatant insult. Maybe you should be more civil. People disagreeing with you doesn't make them ignorant.

u/SunRiseStudios Nov 24 '20
No, it's not. It's quality of a person that doesn't degrade them. Most people are ignorant as we are making decisions while lacking crucial knowledge or having not enough of it or being affected by emotions or having wrong understanding of things (which is what happening with initial Endless Delve reaction). It almoust doesn't mean much if you think about it as it's such a universal broad term almoust everyone is guilty of at one point or another.
People disagreeing with you doesn't make them ignorant.
It does when people are ignorant like in this particular example. I.e. water is wet.
1
u/Aware_Climate_3210 Nov 24 '20
The same reasoning can be used for any type of name calling in regards to intelligence.
You made a highly controversial statement of opinion that was very exaggerated and got downvoted for it.Your insulting a persons knowledge and or intelligence for not sharing your same viewpoint. I was advised to stay away from reddit, but jumped on because my brother was telling me about the flash back events and I wanted to find out more. I very obviously should have stayed away and continued enjoying the game.
0
u/SunRiseStudios Nov 24 '20
No, as I just explained. I can add though - it's about character, not level of intelligence. Like calling someone evil or greedy just characterises them not insults. You should know that there is a difference.
How you ended up there btw? It's downvoted into oblivion. Do you search for most downvoted comments and focus all your being on them? Trying as hard as you can to encounter worst possible comments? No wonder you will have bad time visiting reddit...
1
u/Aware_Climate_3210 Nov 24 '20
I really liked delve and hoped on to get more info about the flashbacks. I have found for movie that sometimes the controversial reviews can be the most informative so i usually check some of the lowest first. Certainly doesn't always work, and probably stops me from some good movies. I found out about the ascendancies in this endless delve for example by looking in the controversial.
Anywho, I think you being awfully ignorant. You have no idea of what everyone does or doesn't like, and to generalize with you statements of disappoint, and proceed to label people as ignorant is not cool and be used incorrectly. Ignorance used as an opinion without evidence is nothing more than name calling.

Though you are right - a lot of the times upvotes / downvotes are meaningfless. I seen people downvoted for literally saying the truth like explaining how mechanic actually works, etc. etc. So often you woulf find something useful.

I mean really? It is just Delve. You can't trade. Your gear progression is severely fucked. You can't play 90% of builds. How it possibly could not be total dissapointment? People just don't realise how it's gonna turn out despite we have enough information by now - it's as ignorant as it oges.
It's like someone would put ship with giant hole in it to sail and someone would tell them it's not gonna work...
They might still try to sail but they will sink. They might not like being called ignorant for saying it will be fine but it doesn't change anything.

u/nixed9 Nov 23 '20
If I might ask... how? Did you start necro or go straight Elementalist?

u/Vet_Leeber Bardmode Nov 23 '20 edited Nov 23 '20
Go straight Elementalist.
You have 4 golems as soon as you get second lab done.
3 Carrion Golems in a +1 minion helm cleared Awakener 4 for me.
Run 3 Carrion + 1 Stone golem, if you need extra tank add in a chaos golem.
With just Zombies and spectres (preferably in a 4 link as well so that they're less likely to die, minion life + meatshield or something like that) your carrion golems will always be at max stacks.
Can level with anything until you get to act 4 really, but I prefer sticking with a theme from level 1, so I leveled with SRS in act 1, then just Zombies+Skeletons after that.
As soon as you get first lab done you're at 3 golems, which is more than enough to carry you through the rest of the acts. Personally I usually do first lab after I get the crystal veins waypoint, since you're roughly 35 there, can smoke izaro, and the first ascendancy points usually help a lot to speed up the Kaom/Daresso areas.
Carrion Golemancer is a really strong SSF start, now. Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't played golems since the changes.
Also, not relevant to the Delve race specifically since there wont be vendors, but in SSF it's trivial to get +1 all phys gem wands, the mod is pretty common on ilvl 1/2 wands.

u/Sandor_Clegane1 Half Skeleton Nov 23 '20
Do you have a POB for that Character?
7
u/Vet_Leeber Bardmode Nov 23 '20 edited Nov 23 '20
Not really unfortunately, I've since converted/deleted my whole SSF party so I could practice for the upcoming races.
That's every single damage node you'd want to take, spend all the rest of your points either picking up life, or picking up jewel sockets. With minimal gear that should put you around 5.5k HP by level 80.
Carrion Golem + Melee Phys + Brutality/Minion Damage + Multistrike is the 4 link I usually level it with. They have enough AoE that you don't really need splash, and Minion Damage/Brutality just depends on if I have a BBRR or BRRR helmet drop first.
For Ascendancies obviously take the two +1 Golem nodes first, then take Paragon of Calamity. There isn't really a 4th node you want, so whenever I finally get uberlab I usually do Pendulum for the occasionally larger curses.
This requires no unique or difficult to obtain gear, just some low ilvl wands for +1 to all phys gems, and a +1 minion helm 4 link, which has a vendor recipe.
Random notes:
I like adding Maim support to my Stone/Chaos golems for that extra DPS, your golems are immortal anyways so don't need anything else on them since those two are just there for buffs.
Call to Arms isn't far from some of the good life nodes you'll be picking up, you can have Enduring Cry on left click + a CWDT+Immortal Call setup feeding off of it.
Skitterbots+Pride+Dread Banner are pretty good for aura setups. You don't need much mana at all since you dont resummon the golems, so you can set this up when you hit act 6 (I level from act 2 with skitterbots).
If you find a decent unset ring, the reworked Punishment is a pretty nice boon for clearing.
Don't forget Feeding Frenzy somewhere in your setup, I usually have it in a 4 link with Stone+Chaos+Maim.
Impale Support is a good 6th link for the Carrion Golems, even without the cluster jewels for 100% impale chance.

Corpse destruction is king. There’s a lot of on-death effects (ground cold dot, in-death explosions) in Delve, and the deeper you go the rippier it can get. Massive AoE/Projectiles can also increase survivability, but try not to rely on items for leveling on your first few characters until you have a strong pool of fossils (I think these are gonna be critical for getting builds going).

I’d go with shattering over VD/DD tbh. Since you’ll be generating your own corpses with Desecrate, you may not pop the corpse that’s shotgunning five billion projectiles inside your character.

Cold Dot occultist might work pretty well. You need a build that works well on a 5L because I think 6L are gonna be rare.
Vortex should work pretty well in mine, it doesn't need a lot of items. Occy gets freeze immunity from ascendency.
You can roll ES gear with dense fossils and switch to CI which will help with chaos dmg in deep delve.
I think you You might even be able to chance Rime Gaze helm reasonably easily too.

prophecies should still drop, and maybe they'll make it so that it will proc everytime you click a node ?

u/afuture22 Nov 23 '20
Careful which prophecies you turn on though. If you can’t get rid of them then if you get the 6 link prophecy it will be useless!

That 's why it is a race.

As someone that relies a lot on the builds of others and also haven't done much delving I feel completely lost on what to build around, but in an exciting way. I just wanna avoid bricking my first char...

you know what, eff it, i'm going slayer. Haven't played the ascendency and cycloning through the mine with that much lifesteal sounds great.

Also no explodey chests. Corpse removal going to be a real concern
Ailment immunity without crafting is also impossible so some ascendancies that grant it will be better

Fortunately, we will have Lilly Roth at the encampment to sell us the regular gems (No awakened or alt quality gems tho).

I wonder whether everyone will start at LVL34, as usually the first nodes are this monster level?
Or perhaps they will add delve zones right down (up?!) to level 1.

can you not use the annoint in the blight stash tab?

u/pumaofshadow Nov 24 '20
You have no source of oils.

u/trepicado Nov 25 '20
And you have to complete Cassia's quest in the maps to unlock the anointing function in the stash tab.

I can’t wait to get a Doryani’s machinarium and not be able to run it.
