Fuckin commie market. Still don't know how I feel about it. No. I hate it
This is a video game, not real life. Hate the "commie" market all you want, but I PROMISE you'd hate it a helluva lot more if you couldn't buy PEN weapons for less than 800 billion or whatever crazy price the game's top "enhancers" would set.
Ya I didn't factor in the essences because it's a pain in the ass trying to get the other stuff to make frenzies from what I remember (cause I don't use workers or anything). Had 65 from the 2 hours. I'm sure part of it was it being my first 2 hours there and not having ideal rotations down but I got bad amounts of trash loot on top of the bad rng on rings/reds (since all the youtubers seem to say they average 1+ rings or reds per hour). I'm 284/268/331 ap/dp. I get about 16-17k trash per hour at trees with agris and level 1 loot, I got about 9-10k trash on the 2nd hour I did at sycraia with level 2 loot and agris (and it used more agris than an hour at trees i'm pretty sure). Fogans I never really seem to break 10k trash at either.
If you aren't going to bother with frenzies, Underwater is kind of a waste. You're leaving a LOT of silver on the table that way. Also, 284/331 is pretty much bare minimum for underwater, so it doesn't surprise me it feels like shit. And if you're awakening and are actually only 268, that's even worse.
Secondly, new grind spots always go shitty. I was completely floored when I saw that Kratuga is around 11k in trash on blue scroll and when I first started there I was around 8-9k on blue. It took me a solid 4-5 hours of grinding to really get down the mobs, the rotation, pulling, all of that shit before I slowly started creeping into the 11k range and now I'm solidly around 10.5-11.2 most hours on blue.
I do seem to average 1 belt per hour at trees pretty steadily with very few 0 belt hours and sometimes 2-4 belt hours which adds to the gap even more on top of the huge difference in trash. Trees does cap easily since I pull the same silver on season chars as I did on the couple hours on my zerker, just doing the 3 tree rotation near manshaums that I always do and it's just hard-capped by the spawn rates but I don't even come close in trash count on the other spots and since the trash is all roughly the same price it makes me sad.
Ooof. Not even doing 6 pillar rotation? Man, I don't know how you think that a 3 pillar rotation is "good" money at trees, but to each their own I guess. Outside of powerleveling friends or going there from like level 60-62 on a seasonal char, trees just falls behind a lot of spots at similar AP/DP requirements.
Even if you were for some weird ass reason only at the minimum AP/DP requirements, I'd still just do Sherekhan's Nights or Centaurs.
Yeah I don't have a godr and they're the same price as tet blackstars. I keep checking the market trying to snag a tri blackstar but I haven't seen anything but tets and a couple pens on the market all day.
Godr is a fuckload more expensive than Blackstar to enhance. Godr value lies in the fact that you can get a DUO for roughly the same price as a TET Blackstar and the Godr is slightly better. Meanwhile, you can slowly "progress" a TET Blackstar in the interim and then dump the Godr once the Blackstar goes PEN.
