  If you're looking to make massive currency in Path of Exile, Simulacrum farming is easily one of the most profitable-yet misunderstood-strategies available in the current league. Over two days, we ran 40 Simulacrums, burned 1,300 Chaos Orbs worth of investment, and came out with a valuable lesson that could save you hundreds of Divine Orbs:

  Let's break down what happened, the profits and losses, and why Simulacrum might just be your next big goldmine-if you play it smart.

  What Are Simulacrums?

  Simulacrums are endgame events where you fight through 20 waves of increasingly difficult enemies, scaling rewards with difficulty. They drop:

  Raw currency (Divines, Exalts, Chaos)
  Gems (many with 21/20 quality)
  Unique jewels like Megalomaniacs and Voices
  Fossils, Essences, and Stack Decks
  Rare chase items like 1-passive Voices, worth up to a Mirror of Kalandra

  These are high-risk, high-reward runs-especially if you ignore the golden rule we broke.

  The Investment: 1,300 Chaos Orbs for 40 Simulacrums

  Each set of 20 Simulacrums cost around 650 Chaos, or ~32 Divine Orbs per batch. It's not a cheap venture, but if done right, it can return more than double your investment per hour.

  And that's without getting absurdly lucky.

  Let's get straight to the biggest mistake:

  We pulled 12 Voices jewels from our Simulacrums. If sold unidentified, each would've netted 13 Divines.

  12 x 13 = 156 Divine Orbs potential profit
  Instead, we ID'd them... and only made ~2 Divines back.

  Megalomaniacs and Split Personalities

  Another major Simulacrum drop type is Megalomaniac jewels, which roll 3 random notables. Most are junk. Occasionally, one will be worth 1-3 Divines, and very rarely, you'll hit something like:

  Primordial Bond-~15 Divines
  Furious Assault + Wind-Up-~50C to 1 Divine
  Support-focused triple combos-1-4 Divines
  We ID'd dozens of these. Most? Trash. Best outcome? A single ~1 Divine hit.

  Rule of thumb: Sell Megalomaniacs in bulk, or only ID if you know the good combos and have time to price-check everything.

  Actual Loot: Beyond the Voices

  While Voices identification was a disaster, Simulacrum drops as a whole were still great. Here's what else we pulled:

  Raw Currency:

  4 Divine Orbs
  170 Chaos Orbs
  1,000+ Stack Decks (~13 Divines when opened)
  Currency tab value: 20+ Divines

  Level 21/20 Gems:

  Leveling gems in off-hand weapon slots during Simulacrums is low-effort and massively profitable if you do it right:

  21/20 Withering Step - 1.5 Divs
  21/20 Slower Projectiles - 3 Divs
  Multiple 21/20 support gems - 3-4 Divs each

  If you forget to quality or corrupt them consistently (like we did), you're leaving tons of Divines on the table.

  Fossils:
  75 Dense Fossils - ~25 for 1 Divine → ~3 Divines total
  Swap with Harvest to optimize for profit
  High-volume, high-demand market

  Essences:
  Essences like Scorn, Loathing, and Contempt are extremely valuable this league.
  Sell in bulk or flip via Harvest
  Potential: 5-10 Divines just from Essences if you're strategic

  Side Hustle: Gem Corruption Profits

  If you're leveling quality gems (using Gemcutter's Prisms), you can:

  Level to 20
  Corrupt with Vaal Orb
  Pray for a 21/20 outcome
  It's a 1 in 8 shot, but the profits are huge.
  Each successful 21/20 sells for 2-4 Divines
  Stack enough of these and you're farming currency passivelyFinal ThoThoughts

  Simulacrum farming is one of the best ways to print currency in Path of Exile, especially if you're not afraid of a little repetition and have a strong build. Even with major mistakes (hello, Voices ID'ing), we walked away with over 40 Divine Orbs in profit.

  Done right, 20-25 Divines per hour is totally realistic.
