Is there a good way to farm for these?

im really bad at running cc and each time get <100 goblets each time, are there any pre-defined paths you always take to maximize your score to get more mats?

like 10min ago i just finished the whole thing with all the obejctives completed for the first time but was unimpressed with only 67 goblets

im trying to farm for blasting chime tier 3, i have the base item already but upgrading it the first tier has become a huge burden, since I did not dupe enough goblets to upgrade this item..

is duping mats still viable or did they completed get rid of it after u25?? and by fire caves do you mean time = money fire caves or fire caves in 3bc?

thanks

ps, ive also messaged epoch about the duping thing, but so far no response meh, guess its a myth after all. well.. worth a shot

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

Here's a very nice guide about challenges:

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/429624

You haven't got this link from the vault. We have a bad reputation to keep. Tell Turdbine I say: Hi, welcome!

EDIT
What level are you running challenges btw? There's a 10% penalty on score (loot) for each level you are above the maximum level up to 50%


PS: I don't post very often but does Epoch really exist? Shouldn't DropBear confirm it within 12 hours?  Tongue

Actually thanks thats something important that I left out.

I'm running lv 15-18 challenges on a lv 24 char, does that affect the score by more than 10%?

and also if your lv 15 running lv 15 theres no penalty right? does that mean your score scales up by 10% per level like .. if your lv 15 running lv 18 your score would be 30% higher?

No positive scaling...and you're an idiot for running a level 24 in a level 18 challenge.  Make an iconic arti and you can solo any heroic challenge.

I assume you like my calligraphy.

As I (already) wrote there is 10% penalty for each level above the challenge with a maximum penalty of 50%

Let's say you're running a lv 15 chall with a lv 18 toon. It gives you 30% penalty

Same kind of chall but with a lv 28 toon. The penalty won't exceed 50% (at least it should not since I always run them at level). Who knows if turdbine screwed that too

And if you were dumb enough to run the challenges taking that much penalty, you couldn't even complete level 18 challenges with a level 15 toon because you're either:

A) New
B) Retarded
C) Both New and Retarded
D) Both Retarded and New

For Buying Time, my goal is to never buy time. Done right, you can consistently average around 240 parts per 5:00 running 4 levels under the challenge rating, 300 per 5:00 during bonus weekends. That's almost 50/minute normally, 60/minute on bonus weekends. Buying time is my go-to challenge, my preferred place to farm xp pots and epic tokens.


This. Convert Mephit Wings into every other mat. Convert Epic Mephit Wings into token fragments & every other mat. Convert them into epic tokens ... for some reason?

After two to three conversions, it's possible that you can run the challenge that gives the mat you want at a better mat/minute ratio. Do that instead.

Sorry about your brain.

IIRC if you are 5 or more levels higher than challenge, your rewards are reduced to 10%.

Run to the bottom right corner of the map for the fixed spawn thief. Kill. Run to the boudoir. Kill the ?medusa? who is often there. If any time left run to the armory for the knight dude. If any time left check for some random other bosses. Avoid the mage with the eles, he's a time-waste.

This is all old info, I've not had to run them in years. On a OP ED Barb/Pal/Wolf/etc now I'd probably just murder everything in sight.

Oh, alternatively - run to thief, kill, afk and alt tab to wait out clock, repeat.

Oh and smash every box in sight in the first section to make sure you 80-90% of the time have all the sigils you need.

Oh yes I forgot this, it's usually easier just to farm the short one and convert. Duh. Apologies.

Heroic: Farm Extraplaner scrolls and trade them 2:1 for the goblets. Labor Shortage was made to be farmed solo. Use a hire for the center, pick up al the torches and make a line to the upper south east stairs and buy a teleporter. Get the quota and repeat. You can do that under level. Works best with an acid sorc for hast, ddoor and fast boss kills.

Epic: Like mentioned above - Farm wings.

I think you're totally right about this. I only run at level so I must have fucked up with my previous explanation

Each level above challenge gives 10% penalty
5 (or 6?) levels above gives next to no loot. Guess it's only good for favor without bothering for the 6 stars
