Hi folks
Having looked at the crafting of keys, the need for Taint, Abyssal Cloth, Crushed Glass, large gems, blackrock etc is just too much of a pain to bother with. Not to mention, taint is probably the most difficult item to get and to require 5 per deed when each party member needs a deed is ludicrous. NO idea who thought that idea was good. They obviously have limited knowledge of the drop rate of taint nor the other uses it has for basic items like scrapper's so that it was always in short supply even prior to this.
I have legendary and gm skills in every required trade, but the amount of hassle/cost of resources just isn't worth the time, and is certainly not the slightest bit 'enjoyable' given the messing about required for each item if you take in the initial gathering time.
So given the above, I am wondering what template is the most effective at gathering the required keys via the exodus dungeon.
So if you have the time, and want to assist me in working out the best method of gathering, go to the exodus dungeon, play normally for ONE (1) hour and record the total loot gain and what template you used. The time limit for the test is so we compare apples with apples
I didn't actually 'kill' anything with the following template so am interested to know if those who kill find any decent items on the corpses.
Class: Rogue
Template: Stealing 120, Hide 100, Stealth 75, Lockpicking GM, Detect Hidden 52 (training still), magery, med, eval.
Play Style: Detecting and looting chests, stealing from zealots.
Loot after 1 hour:
Keys: 2 Robes of Rite, 3 Exodus Sacrificial Daggers
Gold: 55,738 gps
Gems: 61,396 gps worth (65 ruby, 84 sapphire, 73 tourmaline, 82 diamond, 79 amythyst, 74 star sapphire, 88 emerald, 89 citrine).
Essence: 8 Order, 4 Feeling, 2 Passion, 2 Achievement, 3 Precision
Other: 17 Potions of Invisibility, 17 Parasitic Potions, 73 smoke bombs
Deaths: None
