PoE2 Voices Jewel: What It's Worth, How to Farm One & the Unidentified Gamble (0.5 Simulacrum Chase)

Voices is the single most expensive chase jewel in Path of Exile 2 right now — a corrupted Unique Sapphire that hands you 2, 3, or 4 extra Sinister Jewel sockets, and a 4-socket roll trades for well over 1,000 Divine Orbs. It drops only from deep, high-Deliriousness Simulacrum runs, the drop rate is brutal (players report 80–200 runs per copy), and because it drops unidentified, there's a real gamble baked into every one: identify it yourself and pray for four sockets, or sell it blind. This guide covers exactly what Voices does, how to farm it, what each socket-count variant is worth, and whether you should ID it or flip it unid.

Key Takeaways

• What it is: Voices is a Corrupted Unique Sapphire jewel, Limited to 1, that "Allocates 2/3/4 Sinister Jewel sockets" — extra jewel slots that appear beside your Ascendancy portrait (source: in-game / poe2db).
• Where it drops: the grand mirror at the end of Simulacrum of Delusion runs (100%+ Deliriousness). Very low chance; higher map tiers = better odds (Game8).
• What it's worth: a 2-socket copy is a few hundred divines; a 4-socket copy trades for ~1,000–1,800 Divine Orbs (community sales; volatile — always confirm on poe.ninja).
• The gamble: Voices drops unidentified, so its socket count is hidden. Selling unid ≈ 900 div reported; ID'ing risks a low 2-socket roll. Most farmers sell blind.
• Why it matters: jewel slots are the highest per-slot power multiplier in PoE2 — four extra jewels can outscale several passive nodes. That's why it's the endgame chase.

What Is the Voices Jewel in PoE2?

Voices is a Corrupted Unique Sapphire jewel. Its entire value is one line:

"Allocates 2/3/4 Sinister Jewel sockets"

Only a madman would ignore a god's instructions.

— in-game item text, Voices Sapphire (poe2db)

That number — 2, 3, or 4 — is rolled when the jewel drops and is locked forever, because Voices is already Corrupted (you can't Vaal it, Divine it, or re-roll it). Each socket is a full extra Sinister Jewel socket that shows up on the left side of your Ascendancy portrait, not on the passive tree (Game Rant).

That's the whole pitch. In PoE2, jewels are the densest source of raw power per slot in the game — a single well-rolled jewel can carry more damage, life, or resistances than a cluster of passive nodes. Voices takes a single passive-tree jewel slot and converts it into up to four extra jewel slots. On a min-maxed build, four extra jewels is a massive stat swing, which is exactly why the top end of the market pays mirror-tier prices for it.

How Sinister Jewel sockets work (and their limits)

Sinister sockets are powerful but have hard rules you need to know before you buy:

• Regular jewels only. You cannot slot Unique jewels into Sinister sockets — they're for standard rare/magic jewels (Game Rant).
• No radius or socket mods. Jewels placed in Sinister sockets do not benefit from passive-tree radius effects or "jewel socket" passive bonuses. They give only their own explicit modifiers.
• Limited to 1. You can only equip one Voices, so 4 is the maximum extra sockets any character can have.

In practice that means you fill Sinister sockets with clean, high-value rare jewels — life, resistances, attributes, crit, or damage rolls that stack additively with the rest of your gear.

How Do You Get the Voices Jewel in PoE2?

Voices comes from the deepest layer of the Delirium endgame — the Simulacrum. Here's the full chain:

Step	What to do
1. Unlock Delirium drops	Take "Is this about me…or you?" on the Delirium Atlas passive tree so Simulacrum Splinters drop from Delirium monsters in level 75+ maps (Game Rant).
2. Farm Splinters	Run Delirium (walk the Delirium Mirror, stay inside the expanding fog) and collect 300 Simulacrum Splinters, which auto-combine into one Simulacrum.
3. Open a Simulacrum	Use it on an Atlas node at 100%+ Deliriousness to create a Simulacrum of Delusion.
4. Push the waves	Clear the Simulacrum's 7 waves (0.5 cut this down from the old 15). Deeper = more Deliriousness = better rewards.
5. Grab the grand mirror	Voices drops from the grand mirror at the end of the run — on a low chance. Higher tiers improve the odds (Game8).

Two things make this a genuine chase rather than a farm:

The drop rate is savage. Community reports put it at roughly 80 to 200 Simulacrum runs per Voices, and each run is a 7-wave gauntlet against Delirium bosses like Omniphobia and Kosis. Some players get lucky in a handful of tries; plenty grind for days. As one r/PathOfExile2 farmer put it, streamers have been "trying to drop it nonstop for days."

It's build-gated. Deep Delirium and Simulacrum are among the hardest sustained content in 0.5 — dense packs, stacking negative mods, and roughly one free death before the run ends. If your build can't clear waves fast while staying alive, this is not an efficient farm for you.

That combination — low drop rate plus high build requirement — is exactly why most players buy Voices instead of farming it, and why a Simulacrum carry is a legitimate shortcut if you want the drop chances without the wall.

What Is the Voices Jewel Worth in Divines?

Price scales almost entirely with socket count, and the gap between 2 and 4 sockets is enormous. Rough current ranges (volatile — verify on poe.ninja before any big trade):

Variant	Approx. value	Notes
2 Sinister sockets	a few hundred divines	The "bad" roll — still valuable, but a fraction of the top end
3 Sinister sockets	mid-hundreds of divines	Solid middle tier
4 Sinister sockets	~1,000–1,800 Divine Orbs	The jackpot; documented sales up to ~1,784 div, ≈9 Mirrors of Kalandra
Unidentified	~800–900+ divines	Sold blind — buyer takes the socket-count gamble

For scale, at a divine-to-exalted ratio hovering around 100:1 in the current league, a 4-socket Voices is worth on the order of 100,000+ Exalted Orbs. That's why it sits alongside a Mirror of Kalandra as a genuine "chase of a lifetime" drop.

Should you identify Voices or sell it unidentified?

This is the real decision, and it's the part most guides skip. Because Voices drops unidentified, the socket count is hidden until you ID it — and identifying is a one-way gamble:

• Sell it unidentified: you cash out a guaranteed ~800–900+ divines with zero risk. The buyer eats the socket-count variance. This is what most farmers do, and it's the mathematically safe play.
• Identify it yourself: you're betting on a 3 or 4 socket roll. Hit a 4 and you've roughly doubled your money; hit a 2 and you've left a fortune on the table. One player summed up the downside bluntly after unid'ing at a vendor by mistake: "of course it had 2 slots only." Another watched a streamer "ID 5 on YT and all were a massive loss."

Rule of thumb: unless you specifically need a high-socket Voices for your own build and would keep a 4-roll regardless, sell it unidentified. The expected value of blind-selling beats gambling the ID for the average dropper, because a 2-socket result destroys most of the price. Only ID it if you're a high-roller who can absorb the variance or you're keeping it either way.

Best Way to Get Voices Without the Grind

Farming 80–200 Simulacrums is out of reach for most players — it demands a top-tier build and dozens of hours. The faster paths:

• Buy it outright. Fund the purchase with Divine Orbs, then grab an identified 3–4 socket copy or gamble on an unid. A guaranteed 4-socket costs the most but removes all variance.
• Carry the content. A Simulacrum boss carry lets a stronger player push the high-Deliriousness runs for you, stacking your drop chances without the build wall — and you keep everything that drops.
• Farm the feeder mechanics. If you want to grind toward it yourself, get efficient at Delirium and Simulacrum first; those are your splinter and run sources.

FAQ

How rare is the Voices jewel in PoE2? Very. It only drops from the grand mirror at the end of high-Deliriousness Simulacrum of Delusion runs, on a low chance, and players commonly report needing 80–200 Simulacrum runs to see one. A lucky few drop it in a handful of tries; most grind for it.

Should I identify Voices or sell it unidentified? For most players, sell it unidentified. The socket count (2/3/4) is hidden until you ID it, and a 2-socket roll is worth a fraction of a 4-socket. Blind sales report ~800–900 divines with no risk; ID'ing is a gamble that only pays off if you hit 3 or 4. Only identify it if you'll keep the jewel for your own build regardless of the roll.

Can you add sockets to Voices by corrupting it? No. Voices drops already Corrupted, so you can't Vaal it, Divine it, or otherwise change the socket count. The 2, 3, or 4 sockets are fixed on drop — that roll is the whole gamble.

What jewels can go in Sinister Jewel sockets? Only regular (non-unique) jewels. Unique jewels can't be slotted, and jewels placed in Sinister sockets don't gain passive-tree radius bonuses or "jewel socket" passive mods — they give only their own explicit modifiers, so stack clean rare jewels with life, resistances, attributes, or damage.

Why is Voices so expensive? Jewels are the densest power-per-slot in PoE2, and Voices converts one tree slot into up to four extra jewel slots. Four well-rolled rares can outscale multiple passive nodes, so on a min-maxed build it's a huge upgrade — pushing the 4-socket variant to ~1,000–1,800 divines, roughly on par with a Mirror-tier item.

Is Voices worth buying? If you have an established endgame build that can use extra jewel slots, yes — it's one of the biggest single upgrades available. Buy an identified 3–4 socket copy if you want a guaranteed result, or gamble on an unid for a lower entry price. Fund it with divines rather than burning 200 Simulacrum runs.
