BTW, that 160k will get MUCH higher over time... I tend to save a lot. I just need a price quote to shoot for since I have all the time in the world.

BTW, selling a few goodies here:

***IMAGE REMOVED***

I only problem is that I work 4 days/week, leaving only 3 days of full-time farming available. Another thing: my better half refuses to let me farm all weekend days... she does look out for me

EDIT: I got more replies than I bargained for... most not associated with the original topic

Still, I welcome all posts

Cyclone Axe is probably safer to use too, since it hits all targets in a large attack radius. Hundred Blades is a little trickier since you have to backstep a few times to line up the targets, but it's a faster adrenelin builder once you get to less than 3 targets.

Pretty much the whole day, minus lunch, dinner, and quality time with the better half

I'm considering running Droks for more profit, but people can be soooooo flakey (scammers, GW-crashes, etc.) I find farming much more reliable, though it is boring. I'm an ex-EQ player, so I know what camping is all about.

EDIT: My armor is full 15k gladiators (regular Droks will be fine). Here's my hunting sword... nothing special, but I found it off a sand drake and decided to use it.

NP. All you need now is a dual-DR shield to make it complete.

Just curious... did you have a -2/-2 shield to experiment with? I've tested both a -2/+45 and -2/-2, and the latter is much more effective since it scales upward with crowd sizes, while the former doesn't. In other words, that extra bonus hit points is a fixed constant (divided by total # of attackers), while -4/attack adds up to a huge total amount of absorbed damage, and it only gets better with larger pulls.

I'm not ragging on your personal conclusions, but there's a reason why people will take superior absorbtion runes (-3/hit) over minor versions(-1/hit), and it's not for a nicer graphics model.
