Dark Elf Test

Dark Elf Test

As stated in my previous post, here is my results for the Dark Elf hunting grounds test.

But before I start, let me apologize for temporarily turning this blog into a crude Lineage economics class. But the only way to prove something is test test test.

Parameters: I only hit up the following mops: Dark Elves, Werewolves, Arachnevils, Arachnevil Elders, 1 dire wolf. I took 250 red potions, 10 braves, 2 ghastes, and 30 twigs.

Results:

Made $8,080 - $8,140(230 red pots used) - $8,000(braves used) - $3,000(ghastes used) =
-$11,060 lost money.

I lost money, big time. As you can see, I only used 230 reds, not all 250 - I kept running around looking for mops, but could not find any. Also, I kept items I would normally have discarded, like wooden shields and studded leather armors. The only item I did discard was an Elven Bow as I am sure it would be near impossible to sell and stores do not purchase them.

So in conclusion, even in easier spots, using DK morph, with decent AC, you STILL can't make money.

There is one more test I could run but it would be a near joke - same potions, but different area = I could go back to the beginning - Silver Knight Town. But by doing so, I would feel incredibly insulted. A straight smack in the face from NC. So no, I won't be doing that test.

Again, these last few tests I have done have been in prespective of a knight. Tainted (link can be found to the right - Classic Lineage) has been kind enough to offer to do the FV and DV portion of the test as he is a mage. I look forward to his results very much. In the meantime, is there an elf out there that would be willing to give it a shot? The parameters would be changed and the elf would have to be a water elf. Please whisper me or letter me in-game and we can set something up.

And NC, when you read this blog Monday morning, no, I do not want to start a new character only to have that character created solely to feed my knight. If I ever need to do that, then I would have never started the Knight to begin with.

Have a great week Lin players! Good drops to you guys!
