    Currently I have a level 140 F/P mage and an HS mule. I've been earning some money here and there primarily selling leech, however I really find selling leech incredibly boring and unsatisfying despite the steady flow of mesos. With that being said, is bossing with a DPS class (NL, Sair, BM/MM, warriors, etc), a more fun and efficient way of earning money? I'd like to know your thoughts :D

    the best way to earn meso is scroll equip or resell at a profit.This is usually the most direct way for businessmen to make money.
    Making money from BOSS is not practical unless you can go to HT. But it's a lot easier than leech. I used to be able to leech six hours a day, but now I just want to APQ every day.

    @ykcin Scrolling equips sounds like a gamble. You could either go big or lose a ton of money depending on your luck. I've actually considered doing APQ however I need to get married first haha.

    Congrats to be the best char combination at the moment. The most profitable thing to do at the moment is leeching. As a 140 f/p you could be leeching at ULU2 or petris and get close to 100m ea hour (not accurate, refer to the numbers here https://royals.ms/forum/threads/skele-leech-should-have-it-price-increased.125772/).

    Bossing meso:
    For ordinary players,
    Zak: if you sell helm/book, usually you need to spend 30-60 min waiting (if ur not organizing) or recruiting and door’ing ppl to Zak (if ur organizing or are a BS). Profit: about 50 m ea run. Gene book: one book every 3-10 runs. Average profit per run for a 5 ppl pt is 17m to 55m.
    HT: you need to get to 155 first. You need to wash (a few billions if not tens of). You need to have decent if not great range (ppl will ask about ur range unless you are a sed).
    HTP service is about 800m-1000m ea run, and there is not always a buyer. If there is, the profit would be 133-167m ea run, after you waited an hour for a buyer, and 1.5h fighting HT. And sometimes an hours/hours waiting for rewarp.
    HT books: don’t know the exact average profit. If every book drops every 3-10 runs. Then the profit would be 90-300m ea run.
    The profit would be 223-467m per run. The cost is hours of waiting for attackers, getting buyers, fighting HT.

    Scrolling is no longer profitable in royals, with either the clean equips price going up high (ST, Ski), or the finished equips price going super low (almost all attacker weapons), or the price of scrolls going super high (GFA 30% doubles, Int scrolls 30% go 160% or double).
    More people figure out how to calculate the cost of scrolling, and the profit. I have to admit there are more smart players than before. I used to scroll nisrock, ST, craven, earrings, gloves, and more for profit, but recently I did some research in the market and found all of these are no longer profitable if you are a merchant or scroller.

    If you really wanna play an attacker class I strongly suggest DK. Ez to fund, needed in more bosses than before, good DPS.

    APQ is lame. Number of runs per day is limited. Apple price recently drops from 17m to 14m.

    Bossing with a bishop can be pretty efficient in money if you have a buyer (only HT though, the other bosses don't give good money)
    You use pretty much no atk pot (or like wizard elixir/energizer) at all and almost always get NX and you don't really need strong items or some heavy washing to join but just to not dc/die and to know what to do

    It's fun if you like it but not efficient if you're looking at the rng from the drops. It's a gamble everytime you spend your time and your consumables when you boss, while you could be spending the same amount leeching and earning a consistent amount.

    I'd say just do whatever you like. And doing any single thing too long gets really boring so a variation is always good to spice things up. That's how I like it, not doing something that's too long - but switching up the activity to make it spicy and exciting

    Yes, bossing can be quite rewarding. (anego, bigfoot, zak, ht, lyka, pianus, crow, so many field boss so funnn)

    If you are looking to farm HT efficiently

    Bishop + hero/pala combo is probably the best for HT farming, it's all skill dependent so anyone can do it without any funding. You can ht on bishop at low lvls if you are good at it, you can be sed as a hero with minimal funding, tats 4 runs a day.

    Or you can even duo client with bs + sed, people would love you and bring you along more often. Also, makes it much easier for you to be an organiser, all you nid to recruit is a SE and couple of NLs. After you have learned the basics, always try to organise and lead when you're starting out and recruiting randoms, it's safer to sell the books yourself instead of trusting a stranger to sell it for your team.

    Hero/pala is slightly better than drk ( hero higher dps, pala weapon cancel crash ), reason being you can att/crash+sed safely while duo clienting your unwashed bs. Unless you are a god at handling zerk and dispel.

    So, consider making a hero, and continue lvling ur hs mule

    I experienced HT farming (6x a day) and Leeching. Leeching beats HT farming. HT farming isnt efficient.

    I'd say leeching is 2-3x more efficient than bossing

    ~f6~f6~f6~f6~f6~f6 You have good stamina. How do you stay up so long. I've never seen anyone that finishes 6x daily.

    I just try to, similar to doing 7-8 hours of leech. It's so drop dependent and far more risky than leeching too
