Divine Farming Blueprint T17 Boss And Delirium
This guide is a complete, repeatable blueprint for running T17 maps in Path Of Exile 3.27 with a focus on a tight Delirium rush + boss loop that targets consistent, predictable income—specifically, achieving 30+ Divines per hour when executed with the right build, atlas setup, and map investment discipline. The strategy emphasizes speed, altar and Delirium density, and minimizing downtime between runs. It’s not about gambling on a single massive drop; it’s about stacking reliable returns through shards, altars, scarabs, and repeatable boss kills.
You’ll find actionable steps for atlas and map preparation, scarab and Delirium usage, boss tactics, loot handling, build and gear priorities, and an efficiency-first route example. The guide also includes an FAQ to answer common edge cases and troubleshooting.
Why T17 Boss + Delirium Rush Works
T17 sits in a sweet spot where map rewards are high enough to justify modest investment but not so punishing that clear speed collapses. The combination of Delirium layers and altar mechanics multiplies shard and currency returns, while the T17 boss provides a reliable single-target payout window. When you optimize for density and altar frequency, each run yields a predictable basket of rewards: shards, scarabs, divination cards, and occasional high-value uniques. Repeating a fast loop with low downtime compounds these returns into 30+ Divines per hour.
The core reasons this loop is effective are density, repeatability, and control. Density increases the chance of altar spawns and Delirium nodes; repeatability reduces variance; and control—through map rolling and scarab selection—lets you tune cost vs. reward.
Atlas and Map Optimization
Atlas planning is the foundation. Your atlas should funnel T17 maps you can clear quickly and that spawn altars and Delirium nodes reliably. Focus on the following atlas priorities: increase monster density, add altar spawn chance where possible, and unlock map tiers that give you compact, fast layouts.
Choose T17 map types with compact layouts and short boss approaches. Avoid sprawling maps with long corridors or maze-like designs that waste time. When rolling maps, prioritize increased pack size and monster life only to the point your build can still clear quickly; avoid mods that drastically slow clears like “reduced monster movement speed” or “monsters deal extra chaos damage” unless your defenses are tuned.
Use scarabs to boost altar frequency and shard drops. Small to medium scarabs are often the best ROI: they increase altar and cluster density without inflating the map’s difficulty beyond your clear speed. Save the expensive scarabs for short, high-investment sessions where you can chain runs without downtime.
Scarabs, Delirium Orbs, and Altar Strategy
Scarabs and Delirium Orbs are the levers you pull to tune reward density. The goal is to maximize altar and Delirium node frequency while keeping clear speed high.
Use a small stack of Delirium Orbs to trigger Delirium early in the map. You don’t want to overstack Delirium to the point where trash mobs become unkillable or your clear speed collapses. The sweet spot is enough layers to spawn multiple Delirium nodes and increase altar frequency, but not so many that you spend more time surviving than clearing.
Scarabs that increase altar spawn chance or shard drops are high priority. If you can afford them, use a single medium scarab per run to boost altar frequency and shard quality. Avoid using large scarabs that add too much difficulty unless you’re confident in your build’s survivability and clear speed.
Altars are a major source of predictable value. Learn altar spawn patterns for your chosen maps and prioritize routes that pass through altar clusters. If an altar spawns near the boss arena, clear the altar before engaging the boss to avoid losing potential rewards.
Map Execution and Boss Tactics
A successful run follows a tight rhythm: enter the map, trigger Delirium early, clear to altars and nodes, then transition to the boss with cooldowns ready. The boss kill should be fast and safe—your single-target DPS and defensive toolkit determine how quickly you can finish and reset.
Start Delirium as soon as you can safely do so. Use movement and AoE to clear trash quickly and stack Delirium layers. When you reach altar clusters, clear them efficiently; altars often drop shards and currency that compound your per-run profit.
For the boss, switch to single-target mode. Use a defensive flask or cooldown to survive enrage phases. If the boss has predictable telegraphs, bait them into safe windows and burst during those windows. If your build relies on a ramp-up mechanic, position to allow that ramp without taking unnecessary damage.
If the boss drops a high-value item, don’t get greedy. Secure the drop, stash it, and reset. The fastest way to consistent income is to avoid long pauses chasing a single jackpot.
Build and Gear Priorities
You don’t need a niche meta build to run this loop, but you do need a build that balances fast clear and reliable single-target burst. Movement speed, AoE, and a strong single-target cooldown are the pillars.
Movement and clear: prioritize skills and gear that let you clear trash in 2–3 minutes per map. Movement speed on boots, quicksilver flasks, and mobility skills reduce downtime between packs and altars.
Single-target and bossing: ensure you have a burst window—either through a cooldown skill, a flask, or a temporary buff. Single-target damage scales with concentrated DPS, so invest in a weapon or skill tree nodes that boost boss damage.
Survivability: life or energy shield, reliable mitigation, and flasks that remove ailments are essential. A single death can erase the profit of multiple runs. Defensive flasks that grant instant mitigation or remove stuns/bleeds are worth more than marginal DPS upgrades.
Flasks: use a movement flask, a life flask with instant recovery, and utility flasks that remove ailments or grant resistances. Keep a flask that provides a short invulnerability or damage reduction for boss windows.
Loot Handling and Economy
A strict loot discipline is critical. Use a loot filter that highlights divines, scarabs, high-tier uniques, and altar shards while hiding low-value clutter. This reduces time spent picking up trash and speeds up resets.
Sell low-value items to vendors or vendor-craft into sellable items. Stash high-value drops for bulk sales. Track per-run profit after scarabs and Delirium Orbs; your goal is to scale clear speed and reduce downtime rather than chasing rare one-off jackpots.
When selling, group similar items and list them in bulk to reduce time spent on the market. Use price-checking tools sparingly; the time you spend checking prices is time not spent running maps. If you’re consistently hitting your target returns, reinvest a portion into scarabs and map rolls to scale up.
Route Example: A Tight T17 Loop
This example assumes a build that clears a T17 in ~2.5 minutes and has strong single-target burst.
Start: Open a T17 map with a medium altar/scarab scarab applied and 1–2 Delirium Orbs. Enter and trigger Delirium early.
Trash clear: Use AoE to clear to the first altar cluster. Keep movement speed high and avoid detours. If a Delirium node spawns, clear it quickly to collect shards and potential currency.
Altars: Clear altar clusters and pick up shards. If an altar spawns near the boss, clear it before engaging the boss.
Boss: Switch to single-target mode, pop defensive flask, and burst the boss during a safe window. If the boss enrages, use your cooldown to survive and finish the kill.
Reset: Pick up highlighted loot, stash high-value items, and immediately open the next T17. Keep the loop tight—your goal is minimal downtime between map entries.
Efficiency and Time Management
Time is your currency. The difference between 20 and 30 Divines per hour is often measured in seconds per run. Reduce downtime by pre-sorting maps, keeping a small stack of scarabs ready, and using a loot filter that hides everything except high-value items.
Inventory management matters. Keep a dedicated stash tab for map runs and another for high-value drops. Use a single hotkey to apply scarabs and open maps quickly. If you play with a friend, coordinate to split tasks: one player runs maps while the other handles market listings and stash management.
Avoid over-investing in a single run. If a run requires expensive scarabs and orbs, ensure you can chain several runs to amortize the cost. If you can’t chain runs, scale back investment and focus on lower-cost, higher-frequency runs.
Advanced Tuning: When to Spend and When to Save
Not every run should be maximized. Use a tiered investment strategy. For routine sessions, use low-cost scarabs and minimal Delirium Orbs. For focused sessions where you can chain runs for an hour or more, increase scarab size and Delirium layers to boost returns.
Track your ROI. If a particular scarab or orb consistently reduces profit per hour, stop using it. If a scarab increases altar frequency and your per-run profit rises, it’s worth the cost. The key is to measure and adapt.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
A common mistake is overstacking Delirium or scarabs and killing clear speed. Another is ignoring map layout and choosing sprawling maps that waste time. Don’t chase a single jackpot at the expense of consistent runs. Finally, neglecting defensive flasks and survivability often leads to deaths that erase hours of profit.
Avoid these by testing map rolls, tracking per-run profit, and prioritizing uptime. If a map mod or scarab reduces your clear speed by more than 20–30%, it’s usually not worth the extra reward.
FAQ
How much should I invest per run? Invest only what you can amortize across a chain of runs. For routine play, use small scarabs and 1–2 Delirium Orbs. For focused sessions where you can run many maps consecutively, scale up to medium scarabs and more Delirium layers. The rule of thumb is: if you can’t chain at least 5 runs with your investment, reduce the cost.
Which T17 maps are best? Choose compact layouts with short boss approaches and frequent altar spawns. Avoid sprawling or maze-like maps. If a map consistently spawns altars near the boss or along a short route, it’s ideal.
Do I need a specific build? No, but the best performers combine fast AoE clear with strong single-target burst and reliable defensive cooldowns. Movement speed and survivability are more valuable than marginal DPS increases.
How do I hit 30+ Divines per hour? Optimize clear speed to 2–3 minutes per map, minimize downtime, use scarabs and Delirium to increase altar and shard density, and maintain strict loot discipline. Chain runs and reinvest a portion of profits into map rolls and scarabs to scale.
What loot filter settings should I use? Highlight divines, scarabs, altar shards, and high-tier uniques. Hide low-value currency and common rares. The filter should reduce time spent picking up clutter and speed up resets.
What if I die frequently? Prioritize survivability: better flasks, more life or energy shield, and defensive mechanics. Reduce Delirium layers or scarab size until you can clear safely.
How do I price and sell drops efficiently? Group similar items and list in bulk. Use market tools sparingly; time spent price-checking is time not spent running maps. If you’re consistently profitable, reinvest a portion into scaling.
Final Checklist Before You Run
Prepare a small stack of medium scarabs, 1–3 Delirium Orbs, a T17 map pool of compact layouts, a loot filter that highlights divines and altar shards, and a build tuned for fast clears and a reliable boss cooldown. Keep flasks ready for boss windows and a stash tab for high-value drops. Start with conservative investments and scale up as you confirm ROI.
Closing Notes
This guide is designed to be practical and repeatable. The path to 30+ Divines per hour is not a single trick but a disciplined loop: choose the right maps, tune Delirium and scarabs for reward density, keep clear speed high, and manage loot and economy efficiently. Small improvements in clear time and downtime compound quickly; shave off 10–20 seconds per run and you’ll see a meaningful jump in hourly returns.

Sample Atlas Passive Plan (concise)
Focus your atlas on three pillars: density, altar/Delirium frequency, and respec flexibility. Start by allocating passives that increase monster pack size and altar spawn chance, then branch into nodes that improve Delirium/Beyond rewards where available. Keep a small reserve of atlas refund currency or gold to respec quickly when a better mapping route appears—3.27’s atlas changes make flexible respecs valuable for adapting to meta shifts.
Begin with nodes that grant:
Increased Monster Density and Pack Size to raise altar and shard opportunities.
Altar Spawn Chance and Shard Quality to directly boost predictable returns.
Map Layout Favoring Compact Maps so boss approaches are short and resets are fast.
After securing those, add nodes that improve map sustain (reduced map degradation cost or increased map drops) and a few targeted nodes for mechanics you use (Delirium reward boosts, scarab efficiency). Keep one respec path to swap into an essence or alch-and-go style if market or session goals change.
