Just wondering what is the most profitable farm at the moment. I'm not talking about the VS crap either..cause that isn't really a farm.

I'm assuming Raptors? Since it's around 300g per few minutes..is there any better farms around atm that I don't know of?

Thanks.

UW SCs, if you're lucky, are very very profitable.

Same as it's always been: farm noobs in Ascalon/LA/Kaineng/Kamadan.

SC = Speed Clear.. there are posts here with video of people completing UW in under 15 min.. That would be a pretty fast farm

Wow...find that hard to believe but why would you lie :P

Btw, where do most UW groups form, as in Zin Ku Corridor theres no PuGs doing it...so i'm guessing it's mainly guild groups cause PuGs suck?

Most pugs leave from toa, I used to pug it alot and did fine majority of the time...some pugs are bad but you can usually tell before you start judging by how the people act / what they say.

It's theoretically possible to make that much in one night, but only if you are incredibly lucky with the end chest. And you might have better luck searching in ToA, though without the safety net that was UA, most PuGs seem to fail.

Why would UW SC count but not VS farming?

In SCs, while still not brain surgery, do require some knowledge of what the hell you're doing.

SCs are for guilds/ organized people. VS runs are for the common man, just like the use of ursan. So now everyone QQs because noobs are making money in an easy fashion just like they were able to do with the pre nerf ursan.

Either way, I am unable to do either so by the time I could even do it I probably wouldn't even get the chance to abuse the farm.

Most profitable farm would depend on many things.

Are you looking for consistency?
Are you looking for the most profitable solo farm/team farm?
Are you looking for the most profitable farm based solely on luck?
Are you looking for the most profitable farm with the least amount of effort?

UW solo is probably the most consistent in terms of generating a steady stream of income. (ecto has gone up again, last time I checked it was 5.5k at the trader)

UW SC is very profitable but it is based solely on luck with the end chest albeit you can still farm certain areas for ecto with an Ele/Sin while you are carrying on with your SC run with the rest of your team.

DoA is still profitable if you can gather up a decent group for a full HM run. 20+ gems by the end of a full run is not too shabby in my opinion.

VS farm is not too shabby too. The chest drops fairly decent items even if you can't manage to get a Voltaic. Any crap golds you get can be sold UnID. The run is quick and easy. (if you aren't the sin)

During special events Raptor farming is very profitable. A dedicated farmer can farm upwards of 500k over a weekend.

You can provide a service. Run dungeons. It's not really running for the most part. It's more like you're farming but you're getting paid to do it.

Emerald Blades, and Silverwing Bows are still profitable in their respective dungeons but again this is based solely on luck so it's probably better to do something else.

You can run Bogroots really fast for the frog scepter and once you complete the dungeon it boots you right back outside so you can repeat it over and over and over again. Frog scepters are a good profit. Do it while it lasts. This is of course post Ua nerf. Of course once everyone realizes this everyone is gonna just go get their own scepters instead of buying them thus the price will probably tank.

Last but not least. If you have accumulated enough funds. You can farm Kamadan/LA/Kaineng/Ascalon etc... aka power trade.

That's all I can think of at the top of my head at the moment.

*Personally I would choose UW solo as it provides the least amount of resistance (challenge), least amount of failure, and doesn't require a team unless you have the funds to power trade*

Farming by nature is repetitive, mindless and takes minimal skill to do. Not sure where you're getting easy/no skill=not farming thing from. Cash is cash, the easier to gain the better. And speed clears require intelligence? No. Mild coordination? Yes.
