30 Divines in 1 Hour: Mastering the Delirium + Breach Currency Route (PoE 3.26)
Welcome, Exile. If you're on the hunt for an efficient, budget-friendly method to stack Divine Orbs without engaging in high-risk bossing or complicated mechanics, you've just uncovered one of the most powerful farming strategies in Path of Exile 3.26. This guide walks you through a proven method utilizing Delirium mechanics, Breach encounters, and strategic Scarab usage — all centered around affordable investment and maximum return.
Whether you're running a slower build like a Chieftain or speeding through with a juiced Deadeye, this approach scales beautifully. Let’s break down every aspect of this strategy — from your map setup to final loot liquidation — so you can farm 30+ Divines per hour, with minimal complexity.
Setting the Stage: Why Delirium and Breach Make a Perfect Pair
Delirium and Breach are two synergistic mechanics in PoE that reward you for raw monster density. The more enemies you kill in a Delirium fog, the higher your reward meter climbs — and Breaches offer a flood of fast-spawning mobs to fuel that meter.
In 3.26, Delirium orbs, cluster jewels, simulacrum splinters, and raw currency are all highly liquid and in demand. The Breach mechanic provides additional mobs without the need for expensive map device crafts or scarabs — maximizing your profit margin.
Combining these two in one well-optimized setup creates a loop where every map has explosive potential.
Essential Investment: The Scarabs and Map Setup
You’ll be running 20 Tier 16 Strand maps, selected for their linear layout and dense boss arenas — perfect for slower characters or anyone looking to maximize clear efficiency.
Scarab Setup Per Map:
2 Scarabs of Mania – These double your Delirium reward progress.
3 Scarabs of Paranoia – Add multiple reward types to each Delirium encounter.
Why this mix and not 4 Paranoia + 1 Mania? Simple economics. At the time of testing:
Mania Scarabs: ~1 Chaos Orb each
Paranoia Scarabs: ~16 Chaos Orbs each
To keep the strategy cheap yet efficient, the 2:3 ratio of Mania to Paranoia hits the sweet spot.
Total Investment Cost (20 Maps):
40 Mania Scarabs = ~70 Chaos
60 Paranoia Scarabs = ~960 Chaos
Strand Maps = Negligible (approx. 1 Divine for 50 maps)
Using a Divine-to-Chaos ratio of 1 Divine = 210 Chaos, the total investment sits around 5 Divine Orbs. And yes — that includes everything.
Atlas Tree Optimization: Your Passive Blueprint for Profit
Let’s talk strategy. The Atlas Passive Tree is the backbone of your success here, and precision matters.
Here’s how you want to spec your Atlas:
Core Focus Areas:
Delirium Mechanics:
Delirium reward types +1 upon map completion
Delirium fog dissipates slower (for slow builds)
Additional Delirium encounters
Increased chance for Cluster Jewels and Delirium Orbs
Breach Mechanics:
Higher chance for Breach encounters to appear naturally
Increased Breach monster density
Breach Bosses drop Breachstones
Sulfite and Niko Nodes:
Increased chance to encounter Niko
Sulphite chests contain additional Azerite
Niko’s chests grant temporary map buffs (movement speed, damage, resistances)
Map Control:
Singular Focus (to target only Strand maps)
Extra map drops and favorite map bonuses
This skill tree allows for a controlled, consistent flow of Delirium fog and Breach portals, all while maintaining solid mapping fluidity.
Warning: Avoid the "Delirium Never Ends" node unless you’re running an extremely fast build. It can completely stall your progress.
Loot System: What You’re Farming and Why It’s Valuable
Let’s break down the core loot you’ll consistently get and why each piece contributes to fast, tangible currency returns.
Raw Currency:
Chaos Orbs
Divine Orbs
Alchemy, Fusings, Regals, Annulments
Delirium-Specific Loot:
Delirium Orbs (Armor, Fine, Currency, etc.)
Cluster Jewels (Highly tradeable or craftable)
Simulacrum Splinters
Supplemental Profit Items:
Stacked Decks
Skill Gems
Scarabs
Essences
Fossils (via Azerite farming)
Mapping Profit:
Tier 16.5 maps
Breachstones
Memory-influenced maps
All of this fits in two organized tabs:
Currency Tab: All raw currency, easy to sell
Quad Tab: Delirium orbs, clusters, splinters, and extras
Time to Run: Map Execution Walkthrough
Now let’s talk gameplay. Here’s a step-by-step flow of how to efficiently run each map:
Before You Enter:
Load your map into the device
Add 2 Mania + 3 Paranoia Scarabs
Choose the Map Device mod for Increased Quantity (Avoid Breach craft unless you want to invest more)
Inside the Map:
Activate Delirium as you enter
Skip solo mobs, prioritize dense packs
Focus on pushing reward tiers — aim for 8+ before reaching the boss
Kill the map boss last to trigger the Atlas bonus
End Delirium manually once reward level is maxed
Collect loot
Pro Tip: Reward tier 9 is often achievable with a Breach spawn or heavy pack density. If not, don’t stress — Tier 8 still yields solid profits.
Profit Analysis: The Numbers That Matter
After 20 runs, here’s a realistic breakdown:
Raw Return from Currency Tab:
2 Divine Orbs
~120 Chaos Orbs
Various other orbs (~1 Divine equivalent)
Returns from Quad Tab:
~25-30 Delirium Orbs (Avg 25-35c each)
Dozens of Cluster Jewels (10-30c each)
Simulacrum Splinters (~1 Sim every 2 maps)
3x 16.5 Tier Maps (~100c each)
Total Estimated Return: ~27-35 Divine Orbs
Investment: ~5 Divines
Profit Margin: 22-30 Divines for 1 Hour of Mapping
Market Value Discrepancies: How to Maximize Sales
Not all price checkers are equal. Many tools (like Wealthy Exile) undervalue Delirium orbs significantly.
For example:
Armor Smith’s Delirium Orb:
Price Checker: 13 Chaos
Actual Market: 32-35 Chaos
Multiply this discrepancy across 30+ orbs, and you’re losing several Divines in theoretical value.
Solution: Use Trusted Trade Sites or In-Game Indexing Tools Like:
TFT Bulk Selling
Fostor
Trade Macro
Path of Exile Trade
Advanced Profit Trick: Orb Gamba With Primal Life Force
Want to turn low-tier Delirium orbs into the high-value ones?
Here’s how:
Take your low-value Delirium Orbs
Use the Horticrafting Station (Harvest Bench)
Spend Crystallized Primal Life Force to re-roll the orb type
This gamba can turn a 10c orb into a Fine Delirium Orb, worth 50c+ or even a Divine Orb equivalent.
The exchange rate? Around 3.6 Fine Orbs = 1 Divine in trade value.
Note: RNG is involved, but the cost-to-reward ratio is still in your favor.
Azerite Farming: Bonus Profit From Niko
In your 20-map session, expect to collect 7,000+ Azerite — purely from Niko’s Sulphite chests.
With this Azerite, you can:
Purchase Resonators
Buy Fossils
Flip them for quick Chaos via bulk trading
This part of the profit often goes uncounted in estimators — but it's easily worth an additional Divine or two.
Final Verdict: Is This Strategy Worth It?
Absolutely. Here's why this method stands out among other league-start or mid-league currency farming methods:
No bossing required
Minimal RNG dependence
Extremely liquid loot
Flexible for slower characters
Highly scalable with faster builds
With proper setup and an hour of efficient play, you’re looking at a conservative 25-30 Divine profit with room to push higher depending on market prices.
Bonus Tips for Better Results
Use a strict loot filter to focus on value drops
Adjust Atlas Tree based on your build speed
Monitor market prices — sell high-value orbs and cluster jewels during peak demand
Use Delirium Splinters to run full Simulacrums later
Stack maps ahead of time to streamline farming sessions
Stay Chill, Farm Smart

Now go out there, melt some monsters in the fog, and let the Divines roll in.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes this Delirium + Breach strategy profitable in PoE 3.26?
A: The synergy of Delirium fog scaling with monster density and free Breach spawns enables maximum loot generation with minimal investment, especially in Strand maps.
Q: How much do I need to invest to start this strategy?
A: Around 5 Divine Orbs total for 20 maps, which includes all necessary Scarabs. It's highly scalable and budget-friendly.
Q: What are the best maps for this method?
A: Strand maps are preferred due to their linear layout, strong boss arenas, and ease of navigation for slower builds.
Q: Can this method be used on any character?
A: Yes. While faster builds perform better, slower builds like Chieftains can still fully benefit thanks to the slower fog node on the Atlas Tree.
Q: Do I need to use the Breach map device mod?

Q: What’s the estimated profit per hour?
A: On average, 25–30 Divines per hour with solid loot RNG and market timing. Up to 35+ Divines with optimized sales and crafting.
Q: How do I sell all the loot efficiently?

Q: What loot is often undervalued by price checkers?
A: Delirium Orbs and Cluster Jewels are commonly mispriced. Always verify market rates through real-time trade sites for accurate values.
Q: Is this better than Simulacrum farming?
A: It depends. This method is safer, more consistent, and less RNG-dependent. Simulacrums offer burst profit but are riskier and costlier to run.
Q: Can I automate or semi-automate any part of this?
A: While full automation is against ToS, optimizing your stash tabs, loot filter, and crafting bench use will drastically improve speed and results.
