Shivering's Ulu1/Cornian Meso Journal

My dude, you are breaking the game. I foresee mage ult nerfs coming in the future as a consequence.
(NO JOKE )

 

This isn't even his final form. Wait till he does another set of 4x mage ulu1 with his feet.

 

Nerf on the scale of squashing one button ult is what I had in mind. Possibly a fat cooldown/charge on ults in exchange for buffing every other aspect of mages' skillsets. I have a feeling it's going to happen if this type of gameplay becomes the mainstream (which it likely will).

 

Just to add onto the comment above about time investment compared to the reward.
I put in an extra 200 hours to power level both my mages to 200 so I could pseudo 2-hit the gold monks. When I was 3-hitting silver monks on the mages, it physically hurt my hands to do more than 2-3 hours of leech at a time. Both mages also needed 1535/1565 tma to 2 hit silver monks- I had roughly 6b in int gear just so I could comfortably sell leech.
And then they removed the extra bugged mobs [which was more than fair], and then went ahead and moved around mobs which completely invalidated the literal hundreds of hours I put in to comfortably sell leech.
I've also power-leveled 3 mages to 130+, and I'd also have to agree with Shiv. You can literally afk buy leech from 10-80, then poison to 120 in a day. Then spend 1 more day to go from 120-130.

So honestly, if you're on the fence about making a couple more mages to abuse ulu1, you have one more month before Anniv event patch drops when they'll inevitably nerf ulu1. I would say 100% go for it and take advantage of it while you can. Of all the meso methods I've tested, and all the leech I've sold, I can say for certain that 4-mage ulu1 is by far the least amount of effort I've had to put in for the meso/reward ratio.
I've tested other maps and I can guarantee you can net similar/if not more mesos than you currently can at ulu1.

 

Totally agree, that's why I make my posts publicizing other possible non-meta maps like Mu lung and ToT. I think it's more fun when a community comes together and shares info to figure out what's broken (especially during events). And I don't mind when nerfs happen, because it keeps the game fresh. I'm glad the staff constantly buffs/nerfs certain strategies/maps.

 

Poverty Mage Thread when?

 

?_?

 

I'm just sharing information like you my friend It's ironic how one would say ulu 1 is a waste of time and suddenly decides that it needs a giga nerf.

 

What do you mean suddenly though?
He had an initial assumption, tested ulu1 for a while and realized he was wrong, then gathered a lot of data about ulu1 and said it needed a nerf?

 

yeah I also thought the strat was overblown, and thats why you need these journals. Groupthink isnt always right.

 

From the timeframe of testing ulu1 and gathering data, you could have been at 5-6F selling leech and making more than ulu1. Even though 5-6F is nerfed, there are still players selling 5-6F leech making more mesos than ulu 1. Selling leech guarantees fixed mesos/hr where as ulu 1 would require luck to even obtain a 7/51 red craven.

Is making 4 mages difficult? No, not really if you are dedicated. To keep things civilized and on topic, I would like to point out that farming/leeching on multiple mages does require practice. However, is this really the best way to make mesos? I would argue, no it really isn't if you know what you're doing in the game. Farming in my opinion plays a small role in meso making due to the number of pots consumed per hour and I would say only a small part of the community would be dedicated to farming whereas many players would prefer to sell leech and gain a fixture on mesos.

 

Selling leech is not a guaranteed fixed meso/hr, especially if you take into consideration the opportunity cost of time spent looking for buyers.

 

I agree that the cost of time spent looking for buyers will be consuming. My statement on "guaranteed fixed meso/hr" refers to IF and only if you are able to find a buyer. Of course, using a smega one time will not always assure you a buyer immediately which leads to inefficient time consumption. However let's theorize and say for instance you do get a buyer for split leech at skeles for 5.5m/hr, this will guarantee 11m/hr depending on how long your buyer is willing to be leeched for.

 

If you actually did any sort of testing regarding farming, you'd know that raw meso generation also guarantees a fixed meso/hr on averages.
Mobs drop mesos more consistently than buyers do.

 

idk man...you're kinda talking to 2 of the people who sold the most 5-6F leech on this server...
