    From what I've seen, sometimes 1 rapture and *some* uncannies drop...But 2 or even 3 raptures drop when 2x drops is activated on any server. I can't wait to reach 100 myself and start farming.

    You can only get max of 2 raps per run outside of 2x drops.

    You will more than likely sell them as a squad and split coins.

    An average nirvana run is about 1 rapture and 4 uncannies and takes 30 minutes for most squads I think.

    so i'll have to sell the raps i get split the cost then save up to buy more?

    so if my math is right if 2 raps drops every run i wouldneed to go on
    303 runs?

    Not sure about the numbers runs you'd need to do. Just a suggest merchant save your coin, wait for the next rep sale, or play the gold market, and get yourself Rank8.

    Sorry to say but you don't see a lot of world chats for psychic's, its all "nirvana squad looking for more APS DD's" b:sad

    Even if you had the money to buy it, rapts can still take awhile to buy, simply being that its pretty hard to have ppl sell them to you if you aren't the highest buying price in RT.

    The lame part is, is that you cannot even start farming Nirvana until you are 100, the only other way of going Nirv upon lvl 100, is selling gold via charging zen, or merching, or even farming TTs for cash for Nirv.

    Point is, it can be a very long term goal, but will be worth it in the end. Unfortunately for me, I lack patients getting my Nirv gears. b:cry

    Would agree with this as an average drops rate but don't think average runs take 30 minutes. If you have decent aps and rank 8 to farm your Nirvana gear you can find decent squads to go with. This means 10 minute runs, maybe 20. I would suggest doing runs on your sin because as yet, theirs no place for Seekers in a Nirvana squad.

    If one rap drops then you can offer to buy it from your squad for the price of what the highest catshop is buying for (say, 2 mil) or a little extra if your nice, or a little less if your squads nice. You then get back 1/6 of what you bought it for because you squad drop the coin and get your share. If you buy all the raptures from your squads you can prolly do it in 85 runs. Thats assuming you have coin to buy the raptures from your squad.

    If you want, you can spam runs and do 4-8 runs and hope 6 raps drop. Then squad will give one to each person instead of sell.

    Yah I'm not really sure what's average since all nirv I do has me in it. I was thinking average for a squad that would take a Psy.

    On most of the runs I go with random groups, the run takes about 25-30 minutes. This is usually with a cleric, maybe a veno, and the rest are APS of some sort. This duration does not factor the time it takes to gather the group in the first place.

    On average, I make a little less than 1m per hour this way. I make more grinding spiders, so I've sort of given up on Nirvana runs.

    Higher damage runs I have been on take 15 minutes, and those types of runs are more profitable than grinding. However, I don't often get on these types of squads when joining randoms.
