But that's still ~18k an hour, not too shabby considering how ridiculously easy and simple it is, plus if you have a survivor .. you might be grinding the hell out of HFFF anyway.

Oh yes. Farming with other people. Add in all the times that you get some loser who tries to scam you, or takes the quest first thing then /ragequits when a hero dies too early, or turns in the reward and zones out right as you have you cursor over the quest reward, or... you get the point.

Id rather be poor and use collector gear then have to unnecessarily deal with PUGs.

Anyway, best steady source of income atm is UW, grab a build that can farm mindblades and you're set. Actually you are very close.But it is a craftable item that has a high value.I'm only holding onto this till I have it nailed down in absolutes(if that is possible).I'm thinking any DECENT build will pay off on this and at moment have it nailed down to just taking heroes.Of course I'm sure a solo build CAN do this,but of course the problem is can the market support this?Otherwise this turns into a sell to merchant 10gp a pop,but I'm thinking due to popularity of a certain toon this can remain steady.Not totally sure on this whole thing.Hence my hesitation in revealing.

my tip:

farm as much gold as you can from that source, then when you are so rich that you couldnt care less - share it

and dont give me that greedy a$$hole look ppl :P you found it, you earn it, if you share it - kudos to you

Most profitable spot ever = DoA when first released. Armbrace was selling for 300e+. A single Titan gem would net you well over 100k + XX each. Duo/Triple teams made HUGE amounts of money at that time. That is the most profitable ever hands down.

@OP - If your intention is to make quick cash NOW in the present you already missed the train. Making money was 100x better in the past. The "best ever" is long gone.

(the list goes on) Nahpui. Standard build so look it up. If you have any questions take it to wiki. As far as being hugely profitable or not. If your intention is get rich fast then farming feathers isn't going to cut it. As it stands right now I think feathers are somewhere in the vicinity of ~30gp each or ~300g for a set of 10.

If it really was as profitable as you think it is that area would be flooded with farmers. That is not the case. As a matter of fact you got your math wrong on the value of feathers. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Originally I dropped 100 feathers on the first run then dropped 80 on the second.They have settled down to a 30-50 range.In 30 minutes I had a stack easy working on another stack.Takes about 1 minute to find someone wanting feathers to make stuff.Took me 10 minutes tops to kill everything here.At moment readjusting rates but got an easy stack in 30 minutes(adjusted party for speed and efficency) and have my runs setting at 8 minutes.So looking at this completely in NM.Also you are right have rates of money messed up.So thinking get this at 5 minutes(10+ runs an hour)at 30+ feathers a run looking at 10k an hour give or take.Which blows after my initial 2 runs(those looked like way more money).The only other thing this place had was an extreme Celestial weapon drop(all classes).Have nailed 9 of those in gold so far.After 9 runs.

This run's been around forever.

Stacks of feathers are going for ~7k a stack.
You can do a run in 8 minutes? Fine. Let's say you do a perfect 8 minute run, and get your average top drop of 50 feathers.

8 minute runs = 7.5 runs per hour
7.5 (runs) x 50 (feathers per run) = 375 feathers per hour
1 stack = 250 = 7k
1 feather = 28g
375 feathers (at 28g) = 10.5k an hour

You'd be better off farming raptors for unided golds and black/white dyes.

Also, your Celestial weapons (Arn't they always gold?) are unlikely to be max, and since it's Factions, they're unmoddable.

yeah I've been doing the HM Nahpui farm, though only to get feathers for essences of celerity for consets for DoA runs. I've netted quite a few gold celestials, though none have been r9 15^50.

DoA runs is where the real profit is, Nahpui was only supporting that. The nightmare weapon mechanic change was somewhat of a nerf of this run for the 55er (I know there are other builds but since it's not that great of a farm, I don't really care to get a better build)

I was killing it last weekend during the cupcake fest. 90 second raptor run yielded 3-4 cupcakes per run at 250g a pop. Add in unid golds, whites, and dyes, I figure I was making about 30-40k per hour of farming in NM. I'm sure some of you hardcore guys would laugh at that but for me that was big money.

I say ele solo UW is the most profitable. roughly 45-60 mins, depending on whether you wanna do just plains or pits also. I have an average of 3-7 ecto a run. Let's say I do get 7. Ectos go for 5k a pop now, so 7*5=35k roughly every 45-60 mins.

MLiC Had a friend tell me about it so I went there to see what's up.At first it looked promising(I did nail 100 feathers),but it went to hell fast.

In UW once, on a lucky run, I probably made about 65k in an hour, but my average is around 40k/hour.

Anti-farming code is dead you idiots. They made Loot Scaling, which can have the same effect if everything dies at the same time. Kill enemies one at a time, and bye bye """anti-farm code"""

Farm bad guilds in GvG ATs. You make about 50k for less than an hour of playtime (~2 hours real life time).

Farming Raptors on envent weekends must be up there as one of the most profitable farms you can do in the present day. Its not hard to rack up a stack of event items in a couple of hours, or less.
