Path of Exile 3.25 Simulacrum Farming: Currency Results and Viability

Farming 30 Simulacrums for 10 hours yielded about 36 divines, averaging 2.8 divines per hour, placing it mid-scale for effectiveness.

### Reviewing the Effectiveness of Simulacrum Runs in Patch 3.25
Ron R introduces a new video series called "Great or Bait" to test end-game strategies, starting with 30 Simulacrum runs. The recent changes in patch 3.25 reduced the number of Simulacrum waves from 30 to 15, making the first 15 waves less rewarding, but potentially increasing the drops from wave 30. In Ron's 10-hour test, he obtained a moderate amount of general currency, three pure divines, four exalted orbs, and six orb of alchemy, making the Simulacrum runs somewhat worthwhile.

### Profit Breakdown from In-Game Items
The total profit from stock decks amounted to around 10 divines, with most items being sold for 1k to 14k. Oils, bridge stones, and splinters combined to yield approximately 1 divine. The basic scarab set resulted in an estimated 10 divines, despite the challenge of selling them quickly. Miguel maniacs were difficult to price and were not included in the overall profit calculation.

### Disappointing Drop Rates and Limited Profits in the Gaming World
Drop rates for valuable items like Split Personalities and good Voices are extremely low, leading to minimal potential profits. The majority of dropped items, such as Essences, have low value and require upgrading to Divine in order to be sold. Significant drops like Darker Half divination cards and a high-level cluster jewel are rare but offer better potential profits.

### Calculating Profits from Item Drops in the Game
Dropping various items, including clusters and parts, resulted in an estimated 36 divines in pure drops. Taking into account the price of similar items, the potential profit from selling all the drops is around 28 divines. This would result in a profit of 2.8 divines per hour, with the potential to increase to three and a half or four divines per hour with a faster farming speed or a more effective build.

### The Assessment of Simul Chrome Farming Strategy
Simul Chrome farming has an average yield of about three divines per hour. It heavily relies on big drops, making it unpredictable and not highly recommended as a farming strategy. While it may not be great for farming, it can still provide some currency for those who enjoy using Chrome.
