Auf/ht takes about 1 hour. We know they are decent money from their drops. How does that compare per hour to the 3 daily bosses you can farm? How would that scale to a per hour rate, for example, 1 hour a day for a month straight killing auf OR 1 hour a day killing pap/chao/ephinia on 3 accounts for a total of 18 kills. Let's assume 120k nx = 1 cs/ws through gacha tickets. Have a feeling auf/ht blows it out of the water, but I'm looking for something solo / low stress and minimal to do. Open to ideas.
used to do it alot with my pally, most days waste of time, not really good nx drops,,, i kinda liked it as for fun playin tho... but thats just my perspective
I do pap/chao/ephinia on my 150 NL. Doesn't take too long and get 8-16k nx. It's not much but an honest living. On top of daily votes I get to hit gacha fairly often
Doing all 3 now because of Dark Tokens Pap:6.5-7min Chao = 3 min Ephenia:7.5-8min Will retire from pap after halloween unless I need elixirs/PE. Absolute joke NX drops: got 350 7 times in a row too. At least the other two are free and have the occasional YSS/YWG. Ephenia has been giving more NX than pap too, wtf? Admittedly Chao is horrible for NX (even the 1k is rare) but is effortless, at least for me.
Yeah i agree with chao being low nx but its 1 minute for me and just so easy. I've always thought pap is better than ephinia for nx but I used to ephinia with a ranged char, usually with 4 kills pap its like very very common to see 5k nx in my experience. Can get unlucky tho. How much nx you usually get from all 3 ?
With the current pap drought I'd say it can get as low as 5k-6k if Ephenia doesn't drop 5k. It's also easier to multiclient summon farm while in Chao/Ephenia for me at least so that's another consideration.
Beside their relative decent NX drops and ywg and yellow snow show for the low effort as mentioned before. The Ellin Exchange has ocasional fairly provitable 30% scrolls. (2x tusks or the fairy boss etc thing). Also their +item drop chance monster card is very nice. I usually also grind another 200 etc. Stack from the Ellin mobs from whatever stack is closest to 200 before I go to bed. Purple Fairies drop 70% Earring STR. Boars drop 10% Earring STR. The worst drop from Ellin Exchange is 50 cheese wich still NPC's for 100k. Papu is absolutely trash. From the last 50+ kills I have received 5k once and 1k 4 times. 350 all other times. I only do papu when I am in Ludi and want to waste some time. But he rarely pays back the energizer and pots I use.
I can't give you much data as I stopped actively killing Fairy+Chao after the nerf to the 5k drop (the 1k nx drop didn't save it for me), I can provide some tips that I picked up from other players though. The order you kill Fairy and Chao matters, the Fairy card gives a +50% drop buff, while the Chao card only gives +25%, ideally you want to kill fairy first in order to maximize your nx odds. For Papulatus it's best to kill him back to back at reset, since he has a fairly high chance to drop his card if you wait until ~10-15 mins before reset to start, you can kill 2 Paps and retain the card buff to start off your next 2 Paps (after reset) with card already on. This makes it less of a daily and more of an every other day thing. This was also buffed recently since you no longer lose the card buff upon using nearest town scroll. You might already know the above stuff but figured it might help someone else or maybe bump up those nx drops for whoever gathers the data
