FV test. Posted by Hello

Ok, here is my test results for the the Fire Valley portion using the Red Potions.
As before, I took 300 reds into FV. I also rounded the amount up to represent the incidentals that you don't see here - wis pots, haste pots, etc.

1st test = $15,000 made - $11,100(red pots used) - $3,200(braves used) - $1,500(ghaste used)
= lost $800

2nd test = $25,000 made - $11,100(red pots used) - $2,400(braves used) - $1,500(ghaste used) = made $10,000

3rd test = $27,000 made - $11,100(red pots used) - $3,200(braves used) - $1,500(ghaste used) = made $11.200

So, from the total of all 3 hunts, the results are as followsl:

-$800 + $10,000 + $11,000 = $20,200 made

In regards to using red potions, Fire Valley is undisputed in regards to making money. I chose not to include the bdai as it would have seriously skewed the results. And quite honestly, how often does one get a bdai every time they hunt Fire Valley?

So, Fire Valley is the place to go for money right? Wrong. Read the results again. For a knight, it took THREE hunts to garner $20K. This is really not acceptable. Why? Well, when it comes to boss hunting, like Death Knight, most veteran players who are experienced at hunting this boss, usually takes anywhere from 200 to 300 nteles with them. When I hunt DK, I take no less that 250 nteles. Thats $17,500 PER hunt on nteles ALONE.

So hunting in Fire Valley may net a knight some money, but for the veteran players who still love boss hunting, it's not enough. Some of you may be wondering, "Well, sell the Bdai." Why should I? Knights are not allowed to use what they've earned? And anyone knows, when hitting up a boss, you don't take red potions - you use clears. Clears??? Yes, clears. Know what NC?

1 red potion = 37 adena x 100 = $3,700 adena
1 clear potion = 600 adena x 100 = $60,000 adena

I KNOW NC can do math.

But then again, I've been wrong before.
