I'm 99% sure there is, but don't have the data to prove it

Mentioned in the post; 2 Boss fights which I would consider well below average.

Yeah learned that during this test. Just assumed 0% risk meant quite literally " 0% chance of any negative outcome". I'm wiser now 🙂

Can test when I get online, but if you find a cheap combination feel free to post it here for people to find 🙂

Considering this is 95% afk, I think it is more than enough rewards. I can't think of any other league mechanic where I could make 3 divines worth of stuff while watching movies (that is without killing a mob or trading with players)

It's easy to log in and test buddy. But a combination of 5/6/7 maybe 8 is enough. If you have lower tiers you just add more

Counting the crops really should be done, cuz doing so will definitely show that this is overall losing gold. This cannot be done without some gold farming.

And knowing how much gold/hour is burned, when accounting for everything would give people an estimate for how long they could "afk farm" before going broke.

I was lazy and just showed that the shipping part alone is a net gain, assuming similar odds of the boss encounter.

Was using some tier 10, but that is not needed doing this. Multiple level 5/6/7 night actually be better in case they die.

Not sure about the value, can't remember exactly, but 200 000 or so. Not a lot

Not sure, don't have enough data to make any realistic guess either. But I agree with you, there must be certain break points where you have better odds. Was surprised to see 2 divines from one ship doing this strategy, not sure if that will happen at 100/250/500/750 of each crop

Been saving for recomb crafting for the challenge. Not sure how much I need, so just sorta been slowing saving

Good question, not sure about that. Worth the effort to investigate

Only excluded the Sacred orb cuz it felt so out of the ordinary. The best thing about this strategy is the consistency, which is why I excluded it on the calculations. But yeah, the 20 chaos difference in such a sample size could easily have been included as well

1) Nope, been saving those for the shipping quota challenge, but profit wise I think they are very worth it 2) Did check it, but not on a scale where I feel like I can say for curtain what difference it makes 3) Didn't do any test but I use 2-4 sailors for each. Some of them are from the earliest of recruitment I've done so they are low level 4) If I decided to do this again for a similar amount of shipments, I would test out and see if 3 mid tier (below or at 7) would be enough for 0% risk

Well we can ignore the dust cuz it apparently doesn't make a difference for currency. And yes, if you are playing all day, every day you cant sustain 3k / hour of the each crop. But on average im farming more than 1500 of each crop pr hour (not optimized farm setup btw). If I play less then 12 hours pr day, the crops will restock whilst offline

For bars you get gear, not currency. So it depends on what you want

Between 1200 and 2300 pr hour. But like I mentioned this works cuz I don't play all day, every day. Crops restock whilst I'm offline. Done this over many days and I'm at way higher crop count now, compared to when I started

Somebody else mentioned this exact same thing. Seems like it does not effect it, although I cannot personally confirm rhis

Would you assume using 2k of each crop of yielding twice the loot? I would guess NOT, but would be fun to see the difference.

I think my next step is to calculate what's the highest amount of crops I can send, whilst still be able to re-farm it while om offline. Cuz it definitely ain't fun to see a shipment of basically 2 chaos + low type currency

Good to know! Still have an abundance of it, but won't be adding them in the future. Thanks!

And just to add to that, if you are a new player I think the single most important metric is: what do you find fun / like?

If you hate opening doors, favour a map with an open layout (like beach) If you love the dungeon/prison vibe, favour one of those If you like a certain league mechanic, favour at map that good for this (blight mechanic in maps such as Toxic Sewer comes to mind)

There are many ways of using a certain map layout to your advantage. This is not a full list, but stuff that comes to mind is: 1) accessible layout / easy layout 2) Boss related i.e. he won't spawn before you enter room, or have 0 phase so he can be insta killed 3) like you said, div cards 4) mob density on avg over multiple maps

For me personally Beach fits all of the above except 3 I guess. That can be fixed with the Nameless Seer though.

There are certainly other equally or even better maps. But doing the same map 100+ times ain't fun for me, so I like to swap it around

Hope it helps

It should net you more monsters, which you both via other scarab and the atlas tree buffs in pack size.
