I was just wondering which is more profitable over a fairly long period of time. Not per run because obviously solo is but say, in an which would make more on average? Thanks for any input.

Solo you get more ectos but it takes longer, duo you get fewer but it's aeons faster.

Solo is also a lot harder...definitely more profitable though. Got lucky 1 time and made 24k+ in the first room (4 ecto drops from 3 mobs of aataxes, I wish I had taped that run for you guys).

I love to duo it...it's more fun/faster. Was just mentioning that solo is sometimes insanely awesome.

I would really reccomend the duo...you get lonely solo.

Duo - eventually, you will get more ectoplasms because of the fact that it's so much faster. At first, soloing makes it look like you are a god at farming, but if you compare with a friend who has been being duo farming runs with a decent partner for the same amount of time, he/she will destroy your ecto count by a mile!

5 damage? So do I.

Hmm... 130 health from Healing Signet... so 12 tactics... Gladiator's Defense deals out 29 damage at 12 tactics... enemies taking 29 damage... one effect coverred...

Most likely n/mo to help him with life or bonding or something. From the sword I would guess ripostes also.
