Azurite purchases improve mine equipment and help make deeper or wider Delve exploration possible.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Azurite Mine nodes and Azurite encounters along the Delve chart.

Azurite is earned at mine nodes and spent on Niko's mine upgrades. Build a route that includes Azurite encounters, collect the ore, then return to the mine interface to improve the equipment that supports your next Delve goal.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Meet Niko and gather Sulphite from maps.
  • Unlock the Azurite Mine interface.
  • Choose a mine depth your character can safely complete.
  1. Collect Sulphite from Niko encounters while mapping.
  2. Open the mine chart and choose a cleared route leading toward an Azurite node.
  3. Follow the crawler through the route and defeat its encounter.
  4. Collect Azurite from the completed node.
  5. Return to Niko's mine interface and inspect available upgrades.
  6. Spend Azurite on the crawler or exploration capacity relevant to your next route.
  7. Resume Delve and use the improved capacity to reach further nodes.

Farming tips

  • Prioritize upgrades that solve your current constraint, such as safer exploration or additional capacity.
  • Route toward a target biome or reward instead of detouring to every nearby node.

Repeat, collect and use

Azurite nodes can be farmed on new Delve routes; upgrades are cumulative progression purchases rather than a repeatable currency sink in every session.

Common mistakes

  • Entering a route without enough Sulphite; check the cost and reserve before starting.
  • Spending Azurite without considering your mine bottleneck; compare upgrades first.
  • Following every branch and exhausting supplies; choose a target route.

When to stop or switch

Pause Azurite farming when the upgrades needed for your next depth or side exploration are purchased, then return when another mine constraint appears.
