About to reach lvl 76 with a Herc which means I can solo TT1-3 soon. I heard it will take 2 subs but don't know if it's actually worth doing. At least with TT2-1, you have a chance to get gold mats.

    yeah ..

    theres definitely a chance :
    General Wurlord Chance to drop on solo mode 0.3333

    So .. keep trying.

    Most profitable ???

    I prefere to do squad mode with my friends.. much more enjoyable. and many things to drop (Even if i can solo most of bosses up to 1-3)
    I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Rules= Know your enemy (players and NPCs) gives you more chances to survive.

    I prefer doing 1-2 squad mode, quick and painless, plus theres a pretty nice market for TT70 mats right now, on HT anyways.

    For those doing TT's in squad mode, are you soloing them or did you have a squad with you?

    I just have guildies open the door and solo them.

    I've done 1-3 about 5 or 6 times, but the mats are harder to sell, not enough buyers(and never got a gold mat either b:sad)

    What's your solution to Drum's AOE?

    Foxform + use potions, or bring a cleric friend/alt. That's how I do it, though I'm light armor so it hits less then on a rober.

    Unfortunately the foxform bonus is a % of your normal pDef, so with arcane armor you still end up with pretty poor pDef, and respeccing doesnt suit my AOE grinding.
    I've got a feeling 2800hp and pDef 750 aren't enough for drum 1-3 or even drum 1-2 without a cleric. (who I would prefer not to have to share loot with)

    Then tbh, your best bet is to skip drummer.

    How long does that take? Assuming you're taking your time not to get killed running through the dungeon solo.

    And you pulled that .3333% from where? Lemme guess PW Database which is incredilby accurate b:chuckle

    I've gotten a gold mat on solo from him and I've made many millions in solo mode from him alone with the Forshura's Armor. To top it off, it takes 15-20 minutes for the whole run.

    According to the PWI database:

    Forshura's Black Orb has adrop rate of .3333%/.9966%. (default/actual)


    Forshura's Armor has a 16.666&%/42.1297% drop rate (default/actual).


    I'm going to guess that the Black Orb is the gold matt that was referred to earlier, and it explains why you've gotten so many Forsura's Armor drops.

    Dunno about TT, but pwdatase's drop rate for FB bosses has been too high in my experience. I think there's a separate chance for a dropped "item" to be coins with FB bosses, which pwdatabase does not take into account in its "actual drop rate" figure.

    And yes, I'm ignoring the times when the drops are coin-only. When we get item drops, the number of drops seems pretty consistent for each boss (although slightly different from what's listed in pwdatabase). But a significant portion of those are coins, not items.

    Is it possible for a level 76 pure mage veno solo TT1-2 and TT1-3 squad mode? How long do they take? I have a Herc of same level. Which boss should I skip?

    I have run a couple TT1-2 in party and the drum bosses aoe is definately a physical attack. If you are mage build it will hit you hard. Probably not quite 1 hit you but close. My heavy armor build enables me to take a few pots during battle and do just fine, but it also gimps my pet heal so I need a second veno to heal pet. Second veno=mage=dead...needs a cleric. Might try again when I reach 73 and have leveled pet heal. I suspect that those arcane/light venos who can solo the party 1-2 are higher level, probably 75-80.

    1-3 drops apoc pages and gold mats at a better rate,
    and...

    Only takes one sub

    i do it in about 2 hours even with a herc with phoenix's claw skill, skipping soul banisher and drummer, its really not that hard, youll just have to spam heal alot more on the snake because his magic hits way harder.

    2-1 and 2-2 are definitely not profitable, as if youre not properly equipped you skip about 75% of the -good- bosses :|

    I found 2-1 more profitable than 1-2. Never tried 1-3 and was wondering if at lvl 76 i can solo that?

    Did a little calculation of the first 4 solo TTs
    The data comes from PWdatabase so not 100% sure. My own survey is ongoing but so far supports these figures. Prices are very ballpark since server, time, demand, etc will change things considerably. The drop rate is calculated from the default drop rate and multiplied by 3 (3 drops in solo TT).
    Here is the first:

    TT1-1 SINGLE (Chronol) LVL 60+
    Chintien....................Aprox Value..........Drop Rate (%)....X3 (%)...Avg Profit
    Chintiens Edge..............60000....................16.67..............50.........30000

    yes a lvl 76 should have no difficulty in 1-3... but from my research I think it is less profitable than 2-1. (1-3 also takes 2 subs)

    Actually pretty much every HH that veno can solo with herc is extremely over farmed and the mats sells for like nothing atm, at least on LC
    Most mats in 1-2 have dropped with like 100k in value last months. Every 80+ veno runs 1-2 pretty much everyday lol.

    Snake skins are hard to sell even at 130-140k, also golden shards dropped from like 300k to 170k now. Drum also hard to sell since u can get it in solo mode. And mats from fetch boss was always hard to sell for more than 100k.

    Only mats that sells good from 1-3 is gold mats like snake gold and mats from drum (since veno cant solo drum in 1-3). Snake blood etc ure happy if someone pay even 100k for. Same goes for armor boss there. Only good thing is that mobs drops alot of apoc pages.

    I mostly do 3-1 and 1-2 tho. Behe green sells good still and also gold from 3-1 sells for alot. Behe gold is like 10-12mil each and other gold 2-3 mil each. And i do 1-2 still b/c it gives alot of mirages for cube, its fast, i have cleric so i can do aoe bosses, and its so many bosses to kill, so even if mats sell for less than 150k i make a profit b:cute.

    I would say mats from 2-2 and 2-3 is the most profitable to farm atm, ape, forshura, seven shine boss, doggy, belia etc mainly cuz veno cant solo that.
    Maybe its even more profitable to make a real party and rush 2-2/ 2-3 than solo HH as veno b:surrender.

    I coulda swore 1-3 only took one sub on squad O_o;

    but in anycase, 1-3 has highest apoc page drop rate in game, and 2 diff gold mats with relatively good %s which are worth alot <:
