The thing about IV2 is that since the mobs split in two, you tend to get a LOT of drops, so the slightly lower equip sell price is offset by pure amount. There's also an NPC in the map to sell to, instead of needing a bishop for door. The etc drops there also have value, unlike most other farming maps. This isn't a huge amount (iirc was like 20% of the value from my short test a year ago) but still does add up.
I’ve been blessed by a reply from the herself! Didn’t think about the NPC being there. Definitely a game changer. Thanks for answering!
I would strongly recommend getting a keypad and putting your looter in a VM separate from everyone else if you do so, effectively giving you the simultaneous control that 2 computers would give. Trying to do it all with just a single keyboard seems miserable - IV2 is sweaty enough already
Maybe im just crazy but I feel like with the correct setup even 8 mage IV isn't really hard and I still got time to do other shit at the same time
Personally I very much dislike constantly having to reposition mages there, pretty sure that alone doubles my blood pressure. It also has the most mage cycling required, since you need to cast twice per spawn wave instead of once, so it is sweatier than other maps, you're just very familiar with mage farming But hey, feel free to try it with a single keyboard - it might be somewhat doable. I've talked with uwu1 farmers who do that (iirc only 2 ch/4 mage though) Then you can report back and give a more comprehensive answer
