ES Farming: Data and Time(s)

[kk235197]

Figured I'd contribute with my first post:
Exactly 400 Regrets runs starting at 11pm EST on Aug. 29th. 1bloodlust, 1ornate

[Azieru]

Appx 250 runs (Went to sleep with 2.3mil, woke up with 7.3 mil) On weeping Queen

3 Dominance
1 Berserker

(100 luk)

oohh. gratz on getting a bloodlust to drop. very nice indeed.
also gratz on berserker. i hope you both get perfect enchants!

and yes. the money obtained from botting WQ is sort of ridiculous.
it leads me to buy things in the marketplace; things i never cared to
have but now do cus its an extra couple of million per bot session.
more than one ghostly or ocean? do i need three DC helms?

i do if i wanted red blue and black plumes...

if i may rant a bit. im wondering; those of you whom have nearly
everything and probably upwards of hundreds of millions on your
chars, whats the point become now? i see some ppl running
around with full raider sets and i think to myself.. thats nearly
40mil per armor part...

but then again money has become something of just an issue
of time. it can be farmed in WQ.

i have multiple sets of multiple things with multiple enchants.

do i start trying to collect 5* items? maybe spend it all trying
to craft something worthwhile... the other day i went through
and bought all the bloody thorns to make ekinar swords and
chiulin spears. spent another large sum of money to see what
sort of dye combination could be had. and then, let them rot
in my box.

i mean... is this the jaded-ness that i read about?

gawdz. i remember when i was aching to just get enough
money to complete the dark crest set with a helmet.

i guess this is the curse of progressing from lumpenproletariat to haute bourgeoisie...

you could always make a +10 DW staff and sell it to me for cheap.
ya'know, share the wealth.

Results from last night botting, appx 9 hours (not sure when the bot blew up, guessing around the time maint started)

7mil gold
2x Berserker ES
1x 5 star Queen's Glory Boots (Mehish, sells for 1mil if you're lucky)
3x Dominance ES

Nothing much really of note, even in that many runs, I only got about 60 Empowered E. Stones, and I tend not to sell until a full stack anyway.

gimmez da l00t, bishes![/B]

lol. yeh. i hear you. at the same time, are you not able to do any botting?
5mil a night seems pretty common for bot/farming, but would be ridiculous
to attempt manually even with binds...

not that i see a lot of anything over +8 on the market.

sadly, i could spend every last penny buying and enhancing a DW staff
and still not get it to +10. i wont get into how much i lost trying to get
a DW twin swords over +6. lets just say durability in the 70s range isnt great.
theres a set of +6 DW twins swords on the market right now with
relentless enchant and a dura of 71 for 11mil. all i can say to that guy/gal
is; i feel your pain

sometimes i look at my +5 valor DW-TwSw with 93dura and feel they are
a little on the crappy side. more jaded-ness i guess... BUT they are silver
and an icy blue. kinda reminds me of Twinkle and Icing Death.

im REALLY surprised this latest patch didnt lower the enhance/enchant
rate to single digits and sell those stones for 20bucks a pop.
the rate of fail-burns i get, i feel its getting there...

that being said. i just bought 100 blessed magic elixirs.

its all for the LOLz now.

very nice, very nice indeed

barring all the nice scrolls, 7mil is nice pocket change to just
float around with... its funny the number of 5star queens set
for sale on the east coast... all from the same seller; captain obvious

also, you seem to be a magnet for Berserkers, NICE

seems like after this latest patch that Weeping Queen
only drops Dominance and Berserker scrolls?

Dominance: Weeping Queen: 4/500 : [7am-4pmEST.Sept4.East.Server]
Berserker: Weeping Queen: 2/500 : [7am-4pmEST.Sept4.East.Server]

and one 5star Queens Glory Helm

Question...

Uh.... How in hell how are you getting 500 runs off in 540 minutes? Even sitting there clicking things as fast as they can load, between loading screens and waiting for battle cleared and everything else, I can only do a weeping queen run in 83 seconds from boat launch to next boat launch.
83 seconds=
Hitting the Launch button and the instant the UI disappears, hitting the boat skip cutscene bind key.
Instantly timescaling for loading bar.
Skipping the spider cutscene.
One-shotting the spider with a spear less than a second after the cutscene ends.
Timescaling to x10 speed to rush the battle cleared (doesn't help much, but a little)
Timescaling and clicking and holding down mouse buttons to make battle cleared screen show really fast.
Clicking replay, and again timescaling the loading screen.
Spamming the mousebutton to hit launch the moment it appears.

And that doesn't count when you get errors, kicked back to town, server response delayeds, etc...

So even assuming you sat there for 9 hours straight doing this as fast as you could, AND matching my best times and getting a 83 second run everytime, with no errors or anything else. 83 seconds per run every run for 9 hours = 390.36 runs.

You claim to be beating that by ~130%, and going at a rate of 64.8 seconds AVERAGE run speed.

I call bullshit.

[Azieru]

I think he's counting each run as 5 drops, so 2 berserker ES in 500 drops, so only 100 runs, which is much more likely.

Valor: Trampled Plains : 0/200+ bot runs : [6amEST.Aug28] : East Server

Two Moons: Impending : 1/20 [6pmEST.Aug20]
Weeping Queen: Berserker: 1/206 [12amEST.Aug20]
Trampled Plains: Valor: 1/10 [4amEST.Aug24]
SourceoftheRumor: Bot-cycle: 150 [9pmEST.Aug21]
BloodPrince: Manually Farmed: 3hrs [7pmEST.Aug23]

Illusion: Counterattack : 1/2 : [11pmEST.Aug25]

got some R9 scrolls after randomly running hero boats
on a list of stuff i wanted. probably 2 out of 200 runs.

@Azieru
I submit the above, as proof that he normally counts in runs, not in evil cores.

If you look at my post, #14 in this thread, you'll also see his quote of Ornate of 1/2

Why would he change now?

I call bullshit.

LOL.

sometimes i have access to more than one machine when i sleep.
it seemed moot to explain that fact; strangely one machine got all
the dominance ESes in 250 runs so really 4/250.

its why i separated the two scrolls like i did...

at the time it made more sense to say 500 runs, but i can see where
that seems like i pulled that in a short time frame, which is incorrect.

i was wrong to write it that way.

you can see how strange it seems to post the data the way i did, no?
at the time, in my mind, it made complete sense cus i took the data
from two different machines. but thats confusing to those reading it...
cus the runs were simultaneous; i lumped their data together.
so the data should read:

-Machine 1
Dominance: Weeping Queen: 4/250 : [7am-4pmEST.Sept4.East.Server]

-Machine 2
Berserker: Weeping Queen: 2/250 : [7am-4pmEST.Sept4.East.Server]

having two machines running the same boat simultaneously
from the same user is 500 runs, imo. but i agree that the way i wrote it
is not factual. i really wanted to convey that i made 500 attempts
but neglected to say it was on two machines.

if one person starts 6 VMs and bots 100 boats, is that 600 or 100 simultaneous runs?

does it really matter... WE ARE CHEATING ON A FREE GAME.

as i mentioned in the first post, the emphasis was on the time frames...
and again, my fault for not stating i used two comps.

next time , i will state if i am running seperate machines or VMs etc

i am incredibly thankful for you and everyone for your respective work.
i really am, otherwise i would have quit a long time ago.

Weeping Queen: Dominance 2/186, Berserker 2/186 [4am-11am PST/Sept15/West]

[azn69knight]

The Contract: Force 1/184, Maelstorm 1/184, Tricky 2/184, Intense 1/184 [2pm-9pm PST/Sept14/West]

[Zaiakunokami]

LOL.

Understood. All you had to do was say VMWare and I would have been right with ya from the beginning.

For the topic information here.
I have received these over the past 2 weeks, with a combined total of about 750 runs, usually between midnight-8am or midnight-4pm. Normally I'd have way more runs, but been testing new stuff that isn't working as smoothly as I want.

5 Berserker
7 Dominance

[xiacross]

Nobody does Shady Forest here? O_o
I would do contract cuz iam just dying to get a maelstrom and seeing how all of you are getting maelstroms there.

But from another thread it said there was maelstrom about 1/375 in Shady forest. So I am gonna do a night's run on shady and post my findings.

Got fiona's will plate armor from shady all I can say is that I got one from a few hour bot run which is around 60 runs for me.

Also I would post my Weeping data but I accidently turned off my computer without checking the number of runs LOLs. However I can say that I did an entire night around 4:00am-2:00pm and got 1 berserk, 2 dominance, and one 5 star glory boots.
