What do you find to be a more profitable farm, W/Me Triple Chop smite runs (average 15-20 mins) or A/E burning speed chaos plane runs (30 mins)?

I have been running both, and while it seems chaos plains has more enemies and thus more ecto drops, yet have the potential for horrible wurm spawns which seem to block the way to chaos plains quite often...

In your experience, which has proven to be most profitable?

if you can do chaos in 30 minutes then thats the way to go. avg ecto drop for plains is around 5 id say, where as smites is 1-3. BTW if you can do plains in 30 minutes ill pay ya to see that. it takes me an hour minimum to do all groups on plains.

Agreed with Crom, although I think hes just guestimating. I can clear plains in 30 minutes, but it takes more then that to get there and clear it total.

I would have to go with Plains on this one. I did smites and I barely got any ectos. Doing Plains takes longer yes but a full run is guaranteed ectos. I take about 1 hour to fully clear plains. So far im my last 3 full runs and a half of a run I have made 14 ectos so a very good drop rate for those.

I have horrible luck with speed clears, too many underexperienced people and all the good groups are already full...
