W/Rt. 1-2 ecto average 12 min run and like 1/5 dry run. I find that if you try not to kill a large amount of smites in a small period of time you get more loot/ecto.

12 minute runs...

On average I get 1.5 ectos per run, but I get fuc*ed all the time by nightmares so it averages to 1.2~...

On a good day with maybe, 5 hours of farming I make 110k~.

i run this build
http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build/Me_Solo_UW_Smite
i have had good success with it averaging 0-2 ectos per run.
i will update this post with further runs that i do.
(note i just uploaded that build to pvx last night so its still in testing)

Ok First Edit of the day
Did 10 UW Smite runs, killing ALL smites (double checked) and got 12 ectos which i thought was reasonable although 3 dropped in one run.

at what point did it make sense that the build effected the number of ecto drops???

the build just determines efficency and where you can farm.


anyway...... for me i use E/Mo SH ele. Run takes me around 12min and i get an ecto every 2-3 runs

Personally i dont think profession matters.Ive been in a 4 man team with 600/smite 2xss and we did approx 90% clearout with 6/10 quests done - and in all had about 13 ectos drop between us - cant say if others with large teams have had same as this was a chance run and we decided to see how efficent we were at getting past bohemoths and first time we had mindblades and the poor 600 had hell - if your gonna do Uw read the Uw post beforehand as its damn usefull for those new to exploring Uw.
We also did a 3 man team 600/smite with ss and did chaos planes first but sadly screwed up nr ice planes but still netted about 8 ectos between us ( 2+3+3).

I still see it as how many ecto dropper types gone for as well as team size - smite runs are 2% but runs going for the others as well do add up more .. 2%+4%+x%+X% meaning each % for that type not added up totally ( sorry but i feel someone will add them up by accident )

been trying to 55/SS UW (unsuccessfully i might add...) and haven't been getting as far as the 600 smite team we usually run.

in 5 55/ss runs, we got 2 ectos, but never got past the 1st 3 terrorwebs.

last night went in 600 smite and got 3 ectos from Aatxes. 1 from a smite.

(completed 1st quest, servants of grenth, and escort of souls in 600 smite run)

my last 2 runs
killing the start area, chamber, iceworld, and aatxes near obsidian monsters, doing the first quest and the one in iceworld (=like 25 dryders)
each run 30min, each time 1 ecto dropped from _all the enemies_

i'm having bad luck or what?! oO

went in as 600 / smite with a hero smiter and got 5 ectos when doing everything up to the mountains.

1 from Aataxe, 1 from terrorweb and 1 from Keeper of souls, and got 2 from the first group of 6 mindblades. (was shocked when i saw the first drop, started dancing on the second...)

went in later that day with my wife as 600, me as SS necro with smiter hero. got 1 ecto in the first run, 2 in the second. in those runs, 1 dropped from Aatxe and 2 from smites.

from what i've seen, the 4% chance from Aatxes, 2% chance from smites, Twebs, and keepers seems about right. i need to get to more mindblades consistently to gauge their drop rate, but that won't happen until we get my wife's necro to level 20 and ascended.

I know this may sound a little dumb, but I honestly think a lot depends on what time of day you go. In the morning and at night past 10 I notice a lot less drops. At one point I was averaging 2-3 drops from 8-10 at night. From 10-12 I got 0-1 average. I did try restarting the clock, to end that whole "please take a break" and still no luck. I do not know why whether it is because not as many are on or people place bots in there (yes there are still bots out there that extremely destroy drop rates). I don't know but I figure drop rates may even be on a time schedule.

Hmm, I might start to record the ecto drops I get from smite runs (maybe even screenshot the drops). I would do Mindblades but I have gone well off it, I get an average of about 3 ecto a run which I don't think is worth the hassle of running the mountains with monster lag.

25-30 min -> 4-7 ectos per run ... midle = 5 ectos per run = 20 ectos per hour.

In all runs(about 10-15) already drop 2 black dyes, 2 white dyes, 3-5 phatom keys, many golds weapons....

NM Clearing the Chaos Planes. ~35-40 minutes.
I did a few runs and the lowest number of ecto's that dropped was 4. The highest amount was 9 so far. On average I'd say 6 so far.

It's pretty easy, save time by making sure that Aaxtes can't block you in.
Low HP makes sure that the enemies won't run from the Lava Front damage.

I did one run today, this screenshot was taken after killing the first mob:


Can't wait to do another run tomorrow.
