I had almost forgotten something rather insane can occur in Delve. I’ve always wondered how large of a city could I get down there. That almost becomes irrelevant when you get a cluster of cites.

I have no idea if this can start occurring a lot due to the depth that I’m at. If all of what I’ve found is considered to be in a single cluster or multiple clusters. In the past, I’ve had two cities spawn next to each other or within several nodes. It was nothing like this.

I was trying to burn my Sulphite as fast as I could so I could get back to running maps and working on my passive skill trees for the different regions on the Atlas map. Things were going great as I was in the 310 depths of Delve and it looked like I had already found another city.

Knowing that this was something special I didn’t just want to dive right into the city and start clearing it out. I had no idea how many chambers or even other cities could be inside this cluster.

I decided that I would try and go around as much as possible first. I wanted a “clean” screenshot to remember this special occasion. I wanted to see all the different icons of the different chambers without wrecking them by clearing through them first.

So I loaded up on around 50k Sulphite per trip and went down exploring around the city cluster I had found. I needed to run lots of maps anyways and this was just a great excuse to burn lots of Sulphite. Not to mention I was more than likely going to be farming in the 300ish depth range moving forward anyway in Delve.

There were also a few nodes I wanted to farm in the area. Some of the biodomes in the area can have a 20 or 40 Chaos Fossil in them if you are really lucky. Some of these nodes ended up dropping 10 to 25 Chaos worth of items from a single node in some instances even without dropping some best fossils in Delve. All around it was a lot of fun.

I discovered a single node gap between a big chunk of the main cluster. I decided to save some Sulphite and use it as a route to try and uncover the remaining parts as I could. This thing is just massive with 6 different cities and four boss fights in the main cluster.

I decided to first clear the eastern cities that were divided from the main cluster by that giant abyss in the middle. With some of these chambers being in the 320 depth range they were much deeper than the ones I struggled to clear on day 23 and 24.

Since I had made some improvements to my gear increasing my damage and survivability they ended up feeling like less of a challenge. If I’m not mistaken these chambers are one tier lower than the ones I was struggling with.

After that I started to give some of the boss fights a try. The Vaal one I know I can clear without much of an issue. The Lich’s Tomb type I have yet to defeat and it looks like I was not going to for that day. So I did my best to go around them since if you don’t clear them they remain even if you fail to kill them.

The one I did clear dropped rather substandard items. At least I got a few lower-tier fossils along the way. Nothing of high value though.

After I had finished off the main city with only one death. I spent what Sulphite I had cleared to some interesting nodes I could see in the area. Even without farming a city or in the darkness I’ve started to learn and spot interesting things I should be going after at these depths.

Since I already had a lot of Delve loot. I thought why not farm all the darkness I had sitting around. It would save me time in trying to sort, price check, and sell things anyway doing it all at once in bulk.

I even ended up discovering yet another city. I had spotted a node I wanted to check out and happened to uncover it. It ended up having six chambers in it. That in itself would have made the trip to it more than worthwhile.

This adventure ended up producing so much loot I have found myself with an almost full stash after I had finished. The three tabs I had cleared out for this were not enough. I ended up removing a lot of the lower value currency and banking it into my main currency tab. I’m still finding loot I got down there in other tabs as I work on cleaning things back up.

Including everything even the oddball stuff that was not included above. I looted 1,613 Chaos worth of loot or 11.12 Exalts worth. Not including anything that I’ve kept I only have 70 Chaos worth of loot left that I’m trying to sell. Along with a lot of currencies that I’m still working on upscaling.

Final Thoughts

For now, I have a lot more Sulphites to farm. I’m also rather glad to get a lot of my storage space back. If this keeps up the way they are going I’ll have to stop mid-farming to tally things and sell just to make room for more farming.
