My favorite is whichever I can get out of the fastest. They’re all terrible and I do not enjoy any aspect of them in any way.
They are annoying slogs, I hate Brann, the AI is awful, the objectives suck, it’s just not fun in at all.
I mostly just stick to sluice for farming crests, the delve is fast and its quick to get to.

I dont like the underwater ones, or the mushroom ones and excavation site has 1 specific mode thats an absolute slog. The one with all the drills that spawn waves. On any challenging level you end up having to slog through hundreds of millions of mob hp, per drill, and you need like 6 of them. So a few billion hp of mobs to grind before you even finish the base objective.
The most fun is earthcrawl with the moving minecarts because smacking all the things in the face with a train is hilarious
I just want to say - you cant get mythic gear from delves. The best you can get is 1/8 hero then the looong slow grind to get them to 8/8. You cap at like 20 something gilded crests per week so, how many months would that be to get everything up? Plus you need to rng to all slots on hero as well. So on so forth. Delves arent competing with raiders or m+ spammers.
Why would you feel challenged or threatened by someone who spends half a year to end up with gear thats worse than the average group content runner?

A lot more than that, now that the crest caps have been removed and you can convert runed crests to gilded.

I like the design of Mycomancer, but the end boss is kind of a pain. He’s really big and avoiding his charge can be tough. Both fungal delves are cool because you can use the spoors to help take down mobs faster.
The under water delves are teh suck, as we used to say back in the day. I usually only do them on undead characters or warlocks. I have an alchemist that could make pots, but it’s usually just easier to wait for the bountiful status to rotate to a non-sucky delve.
Sidestreet Sluice gets honorable mention as a sucky delve because of how bad it is for causing the Pacifist Rig to aggro pretty much every mob above or below where it spawns. If your game engine can’t handle content with multiple layers then stick with putting everything on the same level.

thats true, you still have to be grinding 8’s at a rate of like 8 crests per run but i did forget about conversion. By “cap” i was meaning the 3 special gilded chests you get from the 3 +11 bountifuls. So those 3 chests PLUS conversions according to how many +8 or higher delves a person grinds is how many gilded a person can attain

I’ll take three of them for 125g a pop!
I also like Sidestreet Sluice. Exquisite Goblin Delve.

How is it that delve players don’t even realize how the game works?
You get a mythic crafted item literally every two weeks.
Maybe actually read my responses and save yourself from embarrassment.
a mythic crafted item? I’ve done almost* all there is the find in delves aside from the more specific and mind numbing achievements. What is this delve-only crafted item?
Not trying to be a jerk, literaly asking for myself, you know for knowledge.

What I believe he is talking about is that if you do enough delves to get 60(not sure of the number) Gilded crests you can CRAFT a mythic level item.
Edit : OK, just checked and yes. With 60 gilded you can craft an item 675, with another 30 you can make that item 681 with a matrix.

My favs are Nightfall Sanctum and Dread Pit. Love the atmosphere and all story lines are really good. Whenever Nightfall comes up in rotation, it’s alt parade just for fun.
Least favorite, it’s between Excavation Site 9 and Waterworks. Profit story and the one with waves of mobs in Waterworks are slow and pink on pink in ES9 makes it hard to see healing pots. Or I’m just getting old.
As far as difficulty goes, I didn’t think 8s were easy when I first started late in S1. Coming from “catalogue the wildlife” type difficulty world content, it was an adjustment for sure. 11s were really something - every pull was CC one, stun another, blow CDs, hope. Wait for CDs for the next pack, repeat. So no, a couple of pieces of completely random heroic gear a week didn’t feel too out of line.
Being more or less geared on my main now and with a ton of catch up gear available for alts, of course it’s much easier. But heroic gear isn’t what it was back in S1 either.

I still haven’t done a T11 on any mage. Done them on locks, hunters, evoker, DK, Pally and Spriest, but haven’t had the guts to try on my mage. Even a 10 is too much of a chore.

It’s not a delve only crafted item.
You can literally make a mythic level crafted item level using crests

question: why does this bother you

Yeah, but you only get so many gilded per week and the conversion from runic - if unlocked - is 45 to 15 with like 4 to 10-ish runic per delve, depending. I’m sure there are people who are all crafted gear now, but it won’t be me for quite a while.

I know reading is really hard.
You don’t have to convert anything. Delves literally award guilded crests.
How is it that delve players don’t even know how delves work?

Lol, it’s not like this is a MASSIVE game, that’s been around 20 years and some people play it in their spare time. I know a LOT more about this game than I should, and that just scratches the surface.
Some people have kids and a job, that they care about.

tak and sinkhole are least favorites, solely because of tricksters, and i hate when they show up in the puppetmaster delve too. favorite delve by far is the dark iron dread pit
