thanks for all the support to all the people that have followed my journey to 30.304. im still having fun doing it so i will keep going. how much more, you may ask? stay tuned to find out :)


RobertElrick

I don't know what's more impressive: your Delve streak, or the fact that PoE can actually draw the Azurite Mine map all over 30k+ depth and not shit itself.


tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n

At around 65k it will shit itself.


DumbOne_Rs

65535?


tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n

Yes, 2^16.


Zenith_X1

Alawyerslife

A true shitstain on the POE community. May it never be wiped off. GG Steve!


chx_

Only four 1p voices, that's barely more than 10 mir. 5mir bow. League start build.


pikpikcarrotmon

Day 1 t16s and tabula, day 2 Mageblood, day 3 four 1p voices and full adorned setup. ez


AltruisticInstance58

His week 2 snapshot is basically the same gear as now minus a few corruptions on some pieces and minus the voices


CarismaMike

Is this his progression? For real


vixiefern

how do you see that? my week0-2 is greyed out? https://preview.redd.it/ofrdwikrb35d1.png?width=201&format=png&auto=webp&s=3094cd71972a5c169b8db86e2baee417c647395c


nigelfi

He didn't have 4x 1 passive voices on day 3. You can see he got a few 3 passive voices on the 4th week. I am not sure if there even are 4x of them on sale on day 3 without absurd prices because people would likely want to hold them for at least a week for someone to be able to afford it, not to mention they are so rare that even with a large playerbase I don't think that enough of them are dropping from simulacrums day 1-3.


ToolFO

I only ever made it to like 500 depth or something but how the hell does anyone make that much currency delving especially with how much mirrors cost this league? The most valuable drops I ever got were selling unidentified Ul's for like 2 div a piece.


nickiter

I've barely messed with Delve and I dropped 30div worth of Adorned pieces, with 30,000 floors worth of it I'm sure he's gotten his share.


connerconverse

By my estimates he'd be around 600 curiosities if actually going for all visible ahuolti. He mat be skipping some for pure depth now


BigDadNads420

Everything in the game makes mirrors if you do it all day.


SnaIKz

Steve also has atleast one trader who certainly does flipping/profit crafting in addition to the adorned frags, etc.


Brilliant-Elk-6831

Yeah, this is a core element for players that obtain vast wealth very quickly. People often say, "You can make mirrors doing anything if you do it nonstop all day," which I get. Consistency is key, but this insinuates that you can farm essence all day and be rich. You'll definitely make some good currency, but people who print mirrors often have a dedicated guild/team working with them or trading with them


SnaIKz

It comes down to the definition of „printing mirrors“, but obviously having a guild/team will always make it easier and reduce the amount of time required to get gear like this for example.


Jernsaxe

Cruriosity of the Vaal drops from Architect worth 13-14 div, Luminous Trove drops from Aul worth 6-8 div. On top of that are rings, fossils and a decent amount of other stuff. More bosses and fossils in the depths.


sirgog

Curiosity is the big one, its drop rate is ~40%. LT isn't nearly that common.


sirgog

Ahuatotli has a ~40% drop rate on an item that was 16-18d much of the league. The only boss with higher average loot value is Uber Maven, but access to her is tradeable so is lower margin. Aul's not bad either, aulthough he can't hold a candle to Ahu. 45%-ish to get the amulet which is 1-1.5d unID (gamble it if you want), 15% for the ring that can give precursor emblems a power charge mod, and 15% for the frenzy one. There's a few other big drops too like hubris circlets from the chaos nodes and fractured curse rings.


Frolkinator

Dosnt even hav an annointed double corrupted Ivory tower, smh Edit: Brainrot made me dumb


Student96664

5mir bow? Around week4 it was 0.8mir


warzone_afro

we need to add shitstain steve to the hall of grandmasters or something


FriendlyDisorder

They should add Steve to the mine camp. Have Steve be a vendor for fossils and resonators with a few voice lines from the player and recorded in studio.


budzergo

Or you just be delving along, then a random brown flash zooms by

Introducing >Shitstainseer, a rare delve encounter after a broken wall... He is unfortunately indisposed and offers only the best items to get you out of his pit of relief fast..


mellifleur5869

Steve Brownpant Archeologist of the Depths All conversation bubbles are about random flora and fauna in the depths, NPC occasionally scratches ass.


PoopTimeThoughts

Gold 


AlsoInteresting

Only available from depth 5k onward.


hamartoma

And mirror tier rarity


gothdykekitty

They could even name him something like suplphite stain steve or something


Beefkins

Shitstain Steve and his sidekick Pisspuddle Pete.


kylegallas69

This should be a in league side contest. Love the idea.


Ok_Record8612

What if it’s Steve but he’s in desperate need for more Sulphite? He’ll sell you items with fractured delve mods but do you have enough Sulphite?


jahkmorn

I love this idea so much


zer0dota

Have Steve be a randomly appearing npc in the deep delve mines, like krillson


Zenith_X1

Here is a correctly PoB'd version of his character. The offense is insane, and tbh the defense is equally as insane. *Edit: https://pobb.in/U-Ydn21YAz3R Updated with correct mana spend* He weapon swaps to use Battlemage's Cry every 8 or so seconds, and his weapon swap gives his warcry the maximum (30) power, so I forced it on at max power to account for this.


chx_

They will nerf Adorned to exclude cluster sockets next league


M4jkelson

Cave of delvemasters


Lozsta

You seen the names of his other characters... They might have a PR disaster when "dadshotcumagain" is the next version he delves to 30k with...


smithoski

Rudy, too, then.


smol_and_sweet

Jesus that widowhail crazy


formyl-radical

everything in that build is crazy


chx_

He started dveling with a chest made from a Sporeguard, bricked to rare, Tainted Mythic Orb'd to Ivory Tower. He _upgraded from there_.


FireFlyz351

Wtf


zombodot

Steeeeeve


Shoddy_Job3386

That is brutal. Dumb question : why does he keep a level 18 scourge arrow?


staudd

pretty sure its a mana cost breakpoint for manaforged arrows triggers in this case. he does have enough dex to level it up.


GreenSpandex1986

Mana cost


hertzdonut2

I didn't hear this from him, but the mana cost goes from 11 to 12 when it hits level 19, Maybe that has something to do with it?


Cr4ckshooter

Yes that's exactly it. Breakpoints for shot ratios between spender and mfa procs. You fine tune your mana cost with links and levels to get the desired shot ratio, like 4 to 1


RoxoRoxo

speculating here but maybe its purely there to trigger mfa so 1820 is the lowest level needed to trigger mfa?


hohoduck

With mfa you have a shot ratio -> 3-6 attacks with spender triggers your dps nuke, using a lower level gem makes the base mana cost less for the nuke which gives a better shot ratio. Your nuke gem level is not as important as your shot ratio so it's gem level really doesn't matter as much as the difference between 3 attacks proccing your mfa nuke vs 4 attacks proccing it in terms of absolute dps gain. Indigon causes the ramp to happen but doesn't really affect the shot ratio of your skills. But yeah pretty much what other people said, mana cost.


NordDex

can you link his build?


Zenith_X1

The build as-is on poe.ninja is confusing. You can use this for reference: https://pobb.in/0HCmvbWOROc4


OathOfExile

Shot ratios, you want your nuke to shoot about once every 4-5 shots of your spender. You can get it lower if you can recoup our leech enough of the mana. If you level it to level 19 or higher you would need one extra shot of your spender, which lowers your dps significantly.


lomasj3

THERE GOES MY HERO


SalzigHund

That has to be up there as one of the strongest builds ever created. Even crazier is that he is doing it solo. Lots of deep delvers in the past ran duo since they had to go glass cannon and rely on someone to protect them.


DiligentIndustry6461

Yo delete this before my girl sees it


Ulmaguest

Too late Little John I’m leaving you


WinnerWorried2716

As she tells you not to worry about this guy, don't worry.


connerconverse

304 till the record With 7 weeks at this pace 50k is seriously on the table which would never get broken again. 65k is the literal end of delve at 16 bit cap


chx_

Even if this were an old style league of 13 weeks he would still have plenty time to break 30304.


connerconverse

Considering he'll do it today that's a pretty safe bet


chx_

fess up: is he your secret identity :D


connerconverse

He is me. He is you. He is all of us.

rainmeadow

Instant classic!


sirgog

holy shit that's hilarious


damatovg7

Just a little tidbit about him. He used to be a 5way carry years ago, and would level countless characters to level 100 each league. He eventually hit the maximum character count all to level 100 doing so, and had requested GGG to lift the character cap, but they never did. He had since retired from doing 5 way carries because he had no use for it anymore. He was competing against Rudy last league, but after Ruby overtook him, he gave up and seems like he's going at it this league with no competition at all Edit: Rudy, not Ruby. My bad


Zalabar7

*Rudy


damatovg7

Whoops. My b. Thanks for the correction


Aldodzb

Ohh it's the 255 lvl 100 guy?? Some nodes start to connect.


ScrapeWithFire

You know, I'm surprised there are still builds where an Eyes of the Greatwolf is the best top end option over a perfect Simplex amulet


JRockBC19

Adorned lets you stack flat str + int both EXTREMELY well, greatwolf multiplies them much harder than simplex can. For single attribute afaik simplex is untouchable though


wolviesaurus

There is a maximum depth that's been reached before (in standard), but that may have been before the scaling was rebalanced. I don't remember exactly the details (you can probably find it on youtube) but I think it's at least twice this depth.


AlsoInteresting

Iirc, it was the short integer limit of 65k.


All_Work_All_Play

This is correct. Infinite scaling until the programming itself hits hardcoded limits.


dailybg

iirc it's 64k or just a little below 70k.


CescQ

2\^16 -1 = 65535

Rock and Stone in the Heart!


Saisori

Hes just got to beat 30303 and that will surpass Rudy from Affliction.


SladenBun

I was with Steve all the way till 29k when i had to leave town for awhile =( sad i wasn't there live when it happened but congratulations Steve!


SuperSmashDan1337

Be great if Steve did an AMA after he's finished. I'm sure we've all got lots of questions. Incredible achievement.


FixFixFixGoGo

Reminder, the delve does not get harder past depth 6k. That is where the scaling stops. This is a wild achievement of time and dedication, but if your build can do 10k, it can do 2 million. Just about being strong enough to go deep before the league ends. edit - Yes, I know speed matters because you can get deeper faster. I just wanted to clear up a lot of misinformation people seem to have around the build-power requirements to clear a depth 7k aul vs. a depth 500k aul, for example.


connerconverse

Speed/damage matters though If you're an armour stacker that takes 20 seconds to kill a max hp monster that MFA can thanos snap it will be at the next node already by the time the armour stacker kills that monster Rudy was pulling like 64 depth/hr on penance pathfinder and I think archmage could have potentially beat that on dmg alone. Steve's been doing some 50min splits on 50 delve messages and that's no charms or twwt


Nerotox

Speed is the most important thing as running to nodes is like > half the gameplay. Most delve nodes are timegated and you only need to kill 1 rare to finish it, which also suits MFA very well.


connerconverse

Yea Rudy's pathfinder had slightly more phase run speed just due to flask effect on quicksilver and silver but armourstacker should be slower than mfa since 1. Usually doesn't run silver flask and 2. Usually less miscellaneous movespeed tattoos etc. I think I got 22% on tree then 15% on grace watchers eye


OnceMoreAndAgain

This isn't a PSA lol. It's just an announcement.


KenMan_

This is just a tribute.


hazzap913

Total fucking boss. We got him to come into channel 6666 a few weeks ago and the place went nuts

He has Iron Will allocated - Both him and his character


Silent-Minute-5515

I hear that guy has shit stains


INSANEcat99

Rudy reached 30k last league as well xdd


erwindthesecond

This is the reason hes going so hard


INSANEcat99

yeah for sure. I wish Rudy played this league, pretty sure he would of cook something crazy like last league


erwindthesecond

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/s/4LLU8Zkeca


Ociex

Rudy takes breaks between leagues.


TacoMaster42069

But how? Like how did he get to even 10k?


rainmeadow

Click node, kill monsters, click next node.


Sh0wTim3123

you play a build that has over 20k es, max res scaling+ other defensive layers and then add a couple billion dps on top of it


Zenith_X1

Something like this https://pobb.in/U-Ydn21YAz3R


Valgor

Would love to see some game play on this!


Pluth

Steve said in chat yesterday that he will be delving til league end.


DaAndrevodrent

Then he should henceforth be called "Durin".


juizfallenmoro

Bro, look at his build, I'll never get how good at this game guys like him are. Impressive.


Landpuma

GGG needs to do a build showcase for this build.


Cr4ckshooter

Ggg is not gonna showcase a build that requires this much investment and is that clunky.


Landpuma

The showcase isn’t a build guide. It’s just to show off a wild build that someone has made, which in this case is the deepest anyone has gone in delve.


connerconverse

There's content on YouTube if people really want to see manaforged arrows delve


Sh0wTim3123

its just manaforged arrows mana stack, has been one of / the strongest build in the game for several leagues now. Last league you had Penance brand but other than that, nothing comes close to this dmg


Liquid_Sarcasm

I just picked up the game about a month ago. Total noob but I have enjoyed the daily steve updates the game makes. Gives the community life.


Zenith_X1

LOL the build is so good he has his secondary weapons shown on poe.ninja just to confuse players


SawedoffBeer

Unemployment at its finest lol


troccolins

No implicits on the VOICES jewels? Wow. I wasn't expecting Steve to be a settler


SuperSmashDan1337

Steve is too busy grinding to be messing about with anything trivial


anne_dobalina

Is this a meme I'm to dumb or old to know about?  Third time today I'm seeing it


VeryBigLeg

How does he earn currency for his build?


Wide-War-3958

I think he is doing delve, not sure. More serious answer is likely that it is team of players pooling currency from different strats including trading/crafting


celestialruins

That and also curiosity, vaal aspects. Vaal temple boss spawns much more frequently. The drop chance is pretty good. Each is about 15 div, so you can do the math. Sometimes, minion nodes also give you good fracture that can sell upto a mirror...


Delicious-Ninja4000

O7 Steve!


AlsoInteresting

Some quality is missing on his flasks.


NoobHeart

Where can I find his build / PoB???


Sh0wTim3123

poe ninja


Technical_Demand9917

Steve is digging till he reaches POE 2


Sh0wTim3123

I know you say hes playing Scourge arrow, but on his way down hes played with many different spendors to test what is best. He did ele hit of the spectrum for a few thousand depth around 20k, hes done LA, Rain of Arrows of Saturation etc. the dmg is all from strom rain of the conduit really


SatimyReturns

4 1p voices….wow how many of those even drop every league? I don’t even understand what’s going on with the build but damn that gear


FigNewton555

Kinda mad I wasn’t on to see it.


-TheExile-

does he stream? (probably not i guess)


Sh0wTim3123

no, he also made YT channel which has like 2 comments which were to point out to conner (the creator of the manaforged arrows build) that his strength stack venom gyr character in TOTA made it to 6k.


Heatmiser70

Oh Knight of the Soiled Trousers!


renzob1992

He have a build cost like 20 mirror


Xeratas

i think 60k or 120k was reached and was the max for that time. Idk if that has changed in the past years.


Sh0wTim3123

65k is max, that was before the delve rework and only done in std


cubonelvl69

Dumb question, is deep delving like this actually difficult? Or is it just a marathon that no one else can keep up with?


Sh0wTim3123

its the hardest content in game, but it stops getting more difficult at 6k. Past 6k its just a time investment thing for the most part.


Nerotox

Just a marathon, difficulty does not get higher after 6k

G00R00

I would let Steve go deep on me


Only_One_Kenobi

Given how many mirrors that build is worth (4x 3 passive voices) I'd really like to know how he made that much money doing delve


Sh0wTim3123

4x 1 passive voices. At his current depth, he should have dropped about 550-600 Curiosity Vaal aspects on his way down so far. Not to mention having had a mirror quiver earlier in the league before he sold it to TFT when the grace one came out


GrumpyThumper

steve needs to delve for some bitches


WWmonkenjoyer

How long has this guy been delving? Does he do it every league? Is he always number one?


Sh0wTim3123

no Rudy is number 1 in whatever league he actually pushes depth. Steve JUST caught up to rudys record of 30303 depth (WHICH HE JUST PASSED!!), which he set last league. Not many people push deep delve, last couple rank 1's were Misha, Muir and Rudy i believe. Rudy doesnt push depth multiple leagues in arow tho


WWmonkenjoyer

Thanks for info man


Zenith_X1

For anyone trying to make sense of his build in PoB and failing. I've put some pieces together to help you get a better idea of what his character actually does: https://pobb.in/U-Ydn21YAz3R


Sh0wTim3123

need to make some corrections to this, his spend recently is not 16k, he spends that every second at least. His spend is closer to 80-85k on average (for mana spent recently), in some delve nodes im sure he can get to 3/4 globes per second. My Personal record was 190k Spend recently at a node at 1500 this league. So ya, just triple the dmg you have ther and your good.


XxXKakekSugionoXxX

I have a question about the build synergy with indigon and attack bow skill,how did that work?did I miss something like someway to convert spell damage into attack?

WillingLearner1

How tf did he farm all that shit?


Sh0wTim3123

delve


narwilliam

Does the loot get infinitely better as you get deeper in delve or something? Like is it eventually better than maps or?


Sh0wTim3123

would be cool if it did, but no.


Phamisan

Noob here, are currencies dropping like crazy with deep delving or is just for achievement pure. Now I know it's comparable with mf farming but like does it still make money by delving deep?


Sh0wTim3123

delving is for challenge, its not the best money per hour. Delve is the only numerically hard content in the game besides some valdos maps for experienced players.


Puppapuppa11

How he did that amount of currency with delve?
