WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Queue for a Public Delve at the Delve Hall in the Hub, or enter a Private Delve gateway if you have one.
Delves replaced Shadow Towers as Trove’s soul activity. A run asks you to clear randomized cave objectives and bosses while the difficulty rises with depth. Vaults are reward opportunities on the route, not a reason to ignore the floor objective. Bring Delve Shadowkeys if you plan to open eligible Shadow Vaults, and choose a depth you can finish consistently. This general route covers progression; the special weekly reward limit and The Depths’ Runic Vault have their own distinct conditions.
Travel to the Delve Hall and queue for a Public Delve or enter a Private gateway.
Read the floor’s objective when the cave loads.
Follow the objective markers and defeat enemies needed to complete that floor.
Find and defeat the floor boss to finish the encounter and continue deeper.
Watch for eligible Shadow Vault rooms during your run.
Use a Delve Shadowkey on a vault you intend to open and collect its contents.
Continue only while objectives and bosses remain manageable; exit after the run stops being reliable.
Use rewards to fund the next run or the relevant crafting goal.
Farming tips
A completed boss encounter is the dependable basis for progressing deeper; do not skip the floor’s objective.
Keep keys for vaults you are ready to open and check the reward rules before spending them.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable activity. Depth and cave layout vary; soul rewards and some associated currencies have weekly limits, so further vault openings may not repeat the same weekly payout.
Common mistakes
Using obsolete Shadow Tower routes: enter Delves for the current soul activity.
Pushing beyond a sustainable depth: lower or hold depth until objectives and bosses are consistently clearable.
Opening every vault without tracking limits: check weekly reward eligibility before spending keys.
When to stop or switch
Stop a run when the selected depth becomes unreliable or the target weekly soul rewards are collected; resume at a sustainable depth later.
