Delves and souls
Delve depth and material route
Advance through Delves at a sustainable pace while completing each cave’s objective and boss encounter.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Delve depth and material route
Public Delves from the Delve Hall or a Private Delve gateway.
Before you go
- Delve access.
- Combat build appropriate to the planned depth.
- Enough survivability and damage to finish both objectives and bosses.
- Optional Delve Shadowkeys if you intend to open eligible vaults.
Farming steps
- Enter a Delve and read the current floor objective before moving far from the start.
- Use the objective markers to locate the required enemies or interactable targets.
- Clear the objective rather than spending time on unrelated enemies.
- Locate and defeat the floor boss after the objective is satisfied.
- Collect the floor rewards and note whether the clear felt comfortable or marginal.
- Continue deeper only when the previous floor was completed reliably.
- If enemies or the boss stall the run, end the push and adjust your gear or select a more manageable depth next time.
- Use collected rewards toward the next Delve run or the specific crafting need they support.
- A randomized layout rewards following the current objective markers rather than relying on remembered directions.
- Watch how long boss fights take; they are a useful signal for whether another depth is sensible.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable progression activity with changing floors. Vault currencies may have weekly limits even when the cave and its rewards remain available.
Common mistakes
- Running past the objective: complete it before expecting the boss route to progress.
- Treating every floor as a required depth push: stop at the last level you can clear comfortably.
- Confusing floor materials with weekly soul rewards: check each reward’s own cap and source.
When to stop or switch
Stop pushing when you cannot complete both the objective and boss at a steady pace; switch to gear improvement or return at a manageable depth.
