What runs/bosses are most profitable to solo with herc? Still shy of opening 3-1, so I'm restricting myself to all of 1-x, 2-1&2 (minus ape, wurlord, and astral).

From my experience, 2-2 Feng is a decent boss to farm, with Fengs Iron Bars selling quite well at 350-400 k.

    If you're sticking to those ones, I always found opening TT 2-1 in squad mode (have a squad of 4, then kick the other 3 people after it's open) to be the most profitable, due to being able to kill the ape.

    Personally, though, if you wanna do squad mode by urself, I recommend having someone in the squad that CAN open 3-1. After it's opened, they can pass lead to you and all party members can leave the group. When I started soloing 3-1 runs, I was easily making 12-15 mill in profit (often times more than that) per day.


    BTW, more people are high lvl now and already have their TT90 gear, so the 3-1 runs may not be as profitable as they used to be. I'm unsure because I haven't played in a few months and have no idea what kinda prices are on the servers now.

    Hm I was actually thinking of doing that as the bosses are quite easy. Anyone have an idea of the general value of the mat prices in this instance?

    damn how many mats u been getting?in 3-1 only what is worth (atleast on lc) is giant beast armor,and boss is so cheap.. most i EVER get from that boss is 3 mats in 1 run,usually its 1 or 2,sometimes none.his mats are around 900k on lc,sacred mother boss his mats are like 200k so i dont bother with it.
    i just do 1st boss to open doors,and Colluseast for armors.
    2-3 is most profitable but doubt u can solo all,u need barb and clerics for forshura and and more dd's for astral,but u can skip all bosses besides 1st to open and only do doggy,his mats are like 700k~
    or u could try do 1-2 and 1-3,mats arent so expensive but atleast bosses drops alot so it pays off actually.

    Really? I've been having the worst luck in 1-2 and 1-3 for the past few weeks. Quite a few runs where I've wound up with no subbed drops at all b:sad

    3-1 should be doable at 86, but be aware that the bosses will take about 40 minutes each to kill solo. Given that, how stingy GBA boss is, and the fact that nobody has managed to get past the timed boss solo, this is one of those TTs which I highly recommend you do with a group of 3 or 4. I think you'll get a higher ROI doing all the bosses 2-3 times with a group than you would get doing just three bosses solo in the same amount of time.

    all depends how fast u want to sell mats,since alot of people reach high lvls ah is loaded with mats
    which make price goes down,plus there was 2x event which also caused mats go down.if u dont mind waiting,
    u can put higher price,but i usually lower down price of my mats cuz i am impatient.
    this mats i put that i npc,all of them are cheap and usually takes long to sell them,if people would be buying them actually,i probably wouldnt.
    but sometimes takes 3-4 days to sell mats which are worth like 50-100k

    about 1-2 and 1-3,yeah sometimes is bad luck,but mosty u get 3-5 drops from serpent boss and dimentora,so it pays off in the end.didnt mention u cant do soulbanisher alone so as drum boss in 1-3,but i guess u already know that.

    A Veno on DW has done the timed boss solo. A squad would still make things better though.

    hmmm... I can't exactly remember what the prices of 3-1 mats were back when I was doing those runs, but these are approximately what I was getting per mat on dreamweaver back then:

    3-1 Iron Plate of Darkness 50k
    3-1 Evil Minion's horn 20-50k
    3-1 Evil Minion's shell ~4mil
    3-1 Sorceress hand ~300k
    3-1 Sacred mother orb 350k
    3-1 Sacred mother aura 2mil
    3-1 Giant beast armor ~1.5 - 2 mil
    3-1 Giant beast shell 7mil
    3-1 Ghost lord ribbon 300

    I see some prices have gone up since then and some have gone down. The main thing, though, is that the price of giant beast armour is only half of what it used to be... and that was the biggest money maker in there for me.
