Its 2x Event. Sooo Should I
A:Solo
Or
B:Squad?

If I so solo Mode can I bring a cleric with me? Or is it only SOLO?
And if I do squad I need 4 people (3 + me?) and also, Could I use people that around lvl 5ish? or do I have to use lvl 60+?

TT1-x = 1sub?
TT2-x = 2Subs?
TT3-x = 3Subs?
Is this correct? Doesnt matter solo or squad?

    I will not answer regarding whether or not you should solo or squad during this 2x event, or whether you should TT at all or not, because it can be argued. It's totally up to you.

    But solo mode is open to 1-4 players. Squad requires at least a squad of 4 players in order to be opened.

    Subs, from what I remember, go as follows (high modes in squad):

    1-1 and 1-2 = 1 sub
    1-3, 2-1, and 2-2 = 2 subs
    2-3, 3-1, and 3-2 = 3 subs
    3-3 = 4 subs

    Which drummer are you talking about? And what level are you? Sometimes, a veno cannot solo drummer if they are too low level and don't have enough hp or phy def. And I think if it's the two of you, the cleric an just IH you and themselves.

    If you are farming solo mode, dont skip drum, and dont worry about a cleric. he doesnt aoe in solo(single) mode.

    Just a slight nitpick - whilst you can only open solo with up to four, it doesn't kick you out if you later invite and pull in a full squads-worth.

    It's a silly idea to do that though, you'll have to split maybe two mat drops, at best, between six people...


    It really depends on what mats you want - most of the good stuff doesn't drop at all in solo mode. Drums are the major exception to that.

    depends on your lvl, and which pet do u have.
    with herc, at lvl 63 u can tank also drummer in 1-1 squad mode, with a cleric healing/bb [drummer hit phys hard, so if u've low phys def, and low hp, u could not resist to his aoes if cleric use only IH].
    Run TTs solo mode if u've herc it's just a waste of time.
    The best drops in 1-1 are drummer drops. BTW, if u wanna, u can solo drummer in solo mode, cuz he has no aoe in solo.

    but...if u really wanna make coins from TTs, lvl up fast, reach 80+, and then start to solo squad mode 2-1/2-2/3-1 with no worries :)

    (In 2-1 skip feng-wurlord - with a cleric, only wurlord)
    (In 2-2 skip feng is u've no cleric, cosmo and wurlord)
    (In 3-1 call some 90+ for killin' djinnscream)

    I disagree a little bit here.
    If you solo squad mode 2-1 and skip feng and wulord, that only leaves fatiliqua, cosmo, and soulripper. And cosmo's mats are only 250k if i remember right. I think it would be better to do this in solo mode for forshura's armor.
    2-2 solo mode, agreed that it's not profitable, but if your soloing squad mode, the only 2 bosses you can do alone are fatiliqua and soulripper. alot of squads do TTmoney runs where they kill fatty to open the door, skip to the puppy, then kill the squid for dusts. Depending on how many mats drop from those 3 bosses, and spliting between 3 ppl, (me, a cleric, a barb, or a herc veno) I can get anywhere from 800k-1m a run. Saves alot of time too when you can complete a run in 45mins as opposed to 2 hours.
    3-1 I completely agree, solo mode isnt profitable. But neither is squad mode. Unless a gold mat and a bunch of GBA's drop (which i hardly see drop) I do however see EMS's drop alot. But since they do drop alot, they've gone down in price.

    Havent u read notes at the end? xD

    Veno can solo Astral in 2-2, without worries. :D
    And that's the only reason why solo 2-2 squad mode.
    Never tried 2-1 solo mode, never tried a tt solo mode, always squad.
    So, Idk if wurlord is soloable in solo mode by veno herc.
    2-1 is good if u kill just fataliqua and cosmo and go away.
    :)

    And wait the end of 2x drops to sell them. Easy no? :)

    Astral walker, yea i can see i higher lvl veno soloing it, but would probably need a charm, alot of channeling gear, and to be lvl 93+ for max pet heal. Atm I just cant see my herc tanking astral walker and being able to hold heals for the adds.

    never heard of the trick to solo astralwalker? O_O
    A veno 79+ can easily solo it.
    Herc will get just one hit from adds, than adds will try to hit u.
    Read here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=574962

    :)
    Healing max range, up on chain, in the place where phys adds wont get herc (or where phys adds can also get herc, but herc always without relfect - not works on astral), adds wont get u, and they'll reset and gone mad.
    And u'll have a lot of fun, waiting that ur herc make all that dmges to astral.
    - With 2x drops, the record is of 8 dusts dropped, in subbed squad mode. -

    Well you got me there. xD I wouldve never thought to do that. Sounds pretty fun. I understand how to do it, but it would probably take a few tries before i got it right.

    I started doing TT2-1 solo mode when I finally hitted 74, the only problem I had on my 1st run was to discover that Fataliqua had an aoe(also reduce channeling speed). Which I fixed ever since then by using my eldergoth and me standing between the last two clapping hand. Wurlord and Feng are the same thing, glacial walker tank them like a chief, only have to watch out when they cast their nuke, since it's immediatly followed by a melee attack. All that with a simple -3%channeling from my switch sleeves. Only reason I'm not doing more runs currently is because of my recent case of bad lag on my end. b:angry

    it's one of the easiest thing ever done. just try to do it with a squad for the first time.
    The "hardest" part is to climb the chain.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIH6uoTVpiY (there's showed a way to clim the chain. I prefer clicking with mouse anyway - just try and learn it, gl :) )

    Im sorry for the little OT, but I think this wouldnt be OT for venos who wanna solo 2-2 squad mode :)
