How long does it take to 100k AD?

baradur03baradur03 Member Posts: 21 Arc User
Hi!
I have read on lots of posts people talking about getting to the daily cap on 1-2 hrs at most.
I'm more of a new player and wonder: how the ...... do they get there so fast? Can anyone help me understand please? I'm already lvl 70 (just 1 toon).
Thanks!

    the majority of those players are endgame. So they either have too much salvage sitting on their alts/mail
    or they quickly burn through dungeons to get enough RAD.
    once you get to that point youll see how easy it is to gather 100K RAD in no time

    I use my DC to farm the random intermediate queue.

    2300 repeat bonus, 2400 Role bonus(Healer), 2000 New player bonus (Sometimes), and salvage. You'd be surprised at how quick it adds up.

    Still I think when Ravenloft first started Salvage was dropping a little more frequently from Barovia that what it is now. Now if I play for a few hours I think I'm lucky if I get maybe 1-2 pieces of Salvage just from fighting...

    So you definitely need to do your dungeons for those as well even if it mean's mostly repeating the Random Intermediate Queue as that will often spawn relatively quick.

    I was a bit skeptical at first, but if you are prepared to farm the Intermediate Queue you can rack up 50k in an hour sometimes.

    In some end game content I am getting around 20k to 30k of rAD just in 1 run. I can also usually do those events on my main with others that are end game in 15-20 minutes per. That means that when we grind content doing this for a few hours for the drops we want we are getting very quickly to the point where we have maxed out on our rAD and add to it for the next day or beyond into the future.

    I've hit it in under an hour on my main just blasting through Barovian quests working toward boons and a hunt or two.
    That is, NOT farming intentionally.

    If I intend to? 45 min maybe, best on DODC for random healer bonus.

    The new system is better for those who dislike the grind.

    another way, from invoking to get "% bonus" adding up to 100k, then any quest ad rewards or salvaging you get some extra ADs.
    if it get under 65k-70k, they hold some new salvagable items until hit capped 100k bonus then repeat process.
    it take about 1 week-10 days to rebuilt bonus supply of ADs,
    rarely often we get from Overflow Xp and get 30k ADs and recieved bonus 15k to make instant 45k ADs, that burn off the stacks of bonus supply pretty quick.

    forgot to add, if you run out of bonus ADs, and still doing salvaging, you get flat rate base ADs without bonus ADs.

    If you are moderately new to 70, the answer is never, because you won't hit 100k regardless.

    -The only queue you will have available is the Random Leveling queue, so 12,000 for your first run, 1,000 every run thereafter.
    -You won't have the 'bonus AD' all the time because you can only generate something like 3,600 of that a day.
    -For the most part, since you are running the basic random queue, you won't be getting any salvage drops.
    -You probably don't have the item level to run anything Epic or higher for better drops/more salvage.

    With luck, you might get a couple items a day worth about 2,000 salvage. Maybe you organize your schedule well and can run one weekly bonus for per day another 4,500. Maybe you get lucky and run a random dungeon instead of a random skirmish, so every couple days you can buy a bag of 500 astral diamonds from the Adventurers seal vendor.

    All told, on a single character who is a somewhat recent level 70, you'd be doing well to rack up 20-25,000 AD per day. (Assuming 2 hours per day of play time) Good luck levelling all your gear, companions and mounts up to higher item level with that!

    This is not true.. in 2 hours of baronial not even doing hnuts you will get more than 25k salvage..

    How many days of invokes does it take to get to 44443 bonus AD?

    You mean 33333. Less than 1 day, with 12 characters.

    Except the bonus rAD is still bound to the character, and not the account.

    Yes, that is why I send the salvage to the alts. I don't do RQ daily (I only do that once a long while with a private party). I also don't earn rAD for a toon if it does not have enough AD bonus to cover it.

    plasticbat is right, just watch some alts's supply of bonus ADs, if it run low, just switch to other alts and keep invoking until reach 100% (100k) cap bonus. rotate alot.

    I do that in the other way around. I spread the salvage for the toon that is closer to 100K AD bonus cap.
    I stash the salvage in the shared bank. When I do the invocation rotation, I can check what every toon's current AD bonus is.
    If it is already 100K or close to 100K, it takes some salvage out from shared bank to salvage.

    @baradur03 I can make 100K or more buying and selling in the AH. These people talking in chat are still upset about the Rough AD daily cap. The way you can make RAD quickly is having an army of characters level 64 or greater can get to Sharandar where every Monday you can run the weekly quest "The Arcane Reservoir" in about 4 minutes for 4,500 Rough AD (6750 if you have the bonus AD). I only have 8 characters on my account. So the most they can make is 54,000 in under 1 hour on this one. However there are others like this in the game;

    The Red Wizards - Protecting the Portal - Reclaiming the Hoard - Biggrin's Tomb - Ballad of Baphomet, all pay 4,500 Rough AD

    Out of all them, only Reclaiming the Hoard in Well of Dragons, will take some effort to do. This one requires you to kill 50 people and collect 15 items. If you can reach the daily cap in RAD for a month (30 days) then you stand to make 3,000,000. If you read my article I linked at the top, I make much more buying low and selling high in the market. Other Cryptic games used the gold standard to run their markets and frankly I would still prefer the method over AD. To many players AD = real cash, but for me everything is virtual and I often give away items as prizes or gifts.

    It is my opinion, people should play this game to have fun. Instead some are playing the game far too much, and only created the army of alts to power boost one character. To brag in chat they are making AD hand over fist is one thing, but to complain about changes making it more difficult is another. Games are suppose to challenge you. I wouldn't like to play this game God Mode, those kind of games are weak and don't last. Besides if you wanted to play in God Mode the Foundry Editor (when available) has that as a setting and you should just play in there. With the cap in place it limits the power player, but for those who play out of enjoyment, it makes the game more about getting there on your own merits.

    Have fun!

    Yeah, if really going after it, 100k in an hour is completely doable. 25k or so from just the first two random queues, do Barovia quests and a few hunts, and with salvage and seals for rings to salvage, etc? Even if not going for it, should hit 100k in 2-3 hours max.

    As has been mentioned there are several ways to earn an AD boost...

    Of course much of this is completely dependent on the kind of gear you have...

    The better the gear (enchantments, boons, companions and mounts) a player has, the quicker and easier it is - sometimes you have to spend money to make money - figuratively or literally, to achieve your goal.

    Just my 2¢

    Its dependant upon what content you can run and how much time you have to play.

    Being level 70 doesn't mean being able to experience all this games content because of iL. So it doesn't matter if your an RP'r, "hardcore", "casual" or anything in-between, to fully experience everything this game has to offer you must meet 13k min iL (end game reqs).

    Being 13k iL still doesn't mean you will complete that content either. However it enables you to complete a lot of other things faster. Things which give salvage or straight RAD. These things are usually in campaigns/areas which many new players might not have unlocked.

    So unless you put decent amount of time into the game over w/e period YOU deem fit, you probably wont experience anything like this.

    If you have one character you are not utilising the 2 Free character slots provided by the company for w/e external reasons. If you are a vet its highly likely that you will have more then one character even two. The company allows 50+. You can invoke/prey with these characters granting bonus RAD on each up to 100k per. With VIP you get more bonuses to straight earned RAD and salvaged RAD.

    I have 8 characters and it takes 1 second to earn the 100k daily RAD limit with a click simply because it builds up through natural gameplay for where my main character is and spills into the next days limit. No running around doing tonnes of campaign unlocks however enjoyable they were, only ones like Stormkings voninblood (I try to avoid this so much lol) and the 2 newer Mods.

    If you are new/ish lvl 70 then you are likely stuck with the Random levelling queue. Or intermediate at 9k iL. You will still need ~60-70k RAD to get to cap but you will be busy unlocking content or levelling new character(s) probably. Even if you play intermediate queue with a healer or tank you get bonus RAD. Maybe just go Barovia with friends/guildies, very easy to unlock/gear up intentionally by Devs.

    devs just got on right track for players to get Astral Diamonds easy, remember it was nerfed from original invokings, twice, to prevent invoke bot farmers.
    1. getting bonus AD flow from invoking until 100k cap.
    2. recent new refine base cap for "account" users.
    3. easy access to salvaging format with Ravenloft random armor crates

    Ravenloft was best way, it look like anti-bot script, all the quest runs we earn barovia coins, all these we have to do kill tasks, errand tasks, or to recover tasks.
    some quests are harder, but it is great to help someone or run few alts.

    just watch Bonus ADs carefully, you can run out too fast. it took me over a week from invoking to restore to 100% ADs bonus base.
    this new "daily" 100k per day (per account) was a little too fast compared to 36k per day for each character.

    I spread my salvage out across 6 of my 8 characters. They each get 3960 invoke bonus to AD daily. So every day they each salvage one to three items until they are as close to zero AD bonus as possible (without actually getting to zero). I run two characters through one RQ each per day. Finally, I rotate which character refines rough astral diamonds every day. So far, none of my characters have been under 100k when it is their day to refine. In fact, in the last couple of weeks, I have gone from more than 800k unrefined AD to over 1m unrefined AD.
