There is no real or set price on this it depends if your there at the right time
and what people are asking.
Average price I have seen is 3k if that helps.
Some also do it for free or tips or test run.

I am a runner not a Droks runner and there is no fixed price on runs it depends on the price at the time.

There is no "real price" - the price is whatever the runner wants to charge. Or, the cost of Consumables, if you want to fight your way down. (which I highly recommend, if you want a challenge, especially if you do it without consumables. )

I will never go with a runner who charges more than 1k. Most times you can get people running for tips, so just wait a moment and you'll find it cheaper.

The 'real price' is realistically whatever you want to pay for it, not what the runner is charging. There is always someone willing to do it for a cheaper price.

1K is not worth the runners time as it take only 20 min to get to Droks so 2K is just fine and duel runner charge 3K for a split.You get a runner for 1K or less it will take longer than you might hope for and that sounds like a non experienced runner.

all ask 2k today, where u saw 3k guys? but if u wait a lot u ill find free test runs where few guys try to run and at least one win. Anyway is a hard run for nothing, for pro runners is easy but they lost months to learn and should be 5-10k not ... 2k

Lol, I remember when it was actually challenging to run Droks. Now it's not even complicated... Dervishes with Vow of Silence make Wammos sad.

With the new runner in the Dervish alot of people can run it now. So it's supply and demand like anything. I ran it alot in the past. Made a bunch of money. But I used to charge 3k per for the run. And I always did a warm up for free. You should be able to get it for around 2k now or free. Just depends on how long you want to wait for the cheaper price.

Firstly - to all you people being cheap: I know coming by coin IG for many people can be frustrating and difficult, but only paying 1k for the time alone a droks run takes is very not cool and pretty insulting. Runners have always more then earned their pay - and now with prices on all runs plummeted to lower then they've ever been before - they deserve every gold coin you can give them (up to a certain amount). Even if a runner is running it for only 1k - or just for tips, c'mon gang, tip the guy above the asking 1k price - 2k should be a minimum. Most vet runners I know will even refuse your tips if they do offer a free run - which is more honor in their corner, but at least offer it.

Sorry, a little preachy there I know, but runners in the old days and today take the brunt of abuse on the runs with scammers, people not tipping, being jerks on the run, etc. - and they deserve to be blessed/rewarded in the end.

Overall 2-3k - definitely no less which = maybe not what you "can" get it for - but what you "should" give for it.

No it doesn't as Warrors are still the fastest I can run faster with my Warrior than my Derv.I really like the boost to Charge at 33%.Those who can do it with both prefer thier Warrior over thier Derv.

dervishes arent the reason its so cheap. Its the chillbans nerf. droks was still 6k+ before it was nerfed.

Droks hasn't been 6k for ages? Chillbains was hardly a threat

It's Dervishes, Drok's is easy now.

QFT! yEP All ya need is a little practice and anyone can with a Derv. I did enjoy the run. I went and got the skill "I am Unstoppable". I want to try that out. I think that would make it even more easy. With that being said though it does require some practice and it's not just pressing buttons.

But I quit doing it since people whine about paying 3k per for a run. I take 30 minutes of my time, and help one to skip numerous hours of a game. Hmmph.

Uh..no. Droks has been 2-4k LONG before chilbains nerf.
It was about 5-6k as soon as NF came out but lowered once people started making dervs for running Droks. So yes it IS all the dervs that lowered the price not chilbains.

Look for or grab the "for donations/tips" runs and or the freebies of course. During prime time these are pretty easy to find. Even jump around from American servers to the Euro severs as the Euros aren't as greedy as those on the American side. But, there is no set price, but, 2k is fair value for what the runner has to do. I wouldn't want to do it more than once myself I find it tedious and one wrong move can and does spell doom for a lot of runners.
