DISCLAIMER: There might be some whining ahead...

As a newbie, I've sworn to myself that I will explore every feature of the game especially the farming aspect. Late last night, I finally decided to hunt one of the Titans, Cerberus, in Mt. Eruca. Through dual clienting, I finished the task around 30-45 mins (cleric and shaman) and was quite disappointed with the dropped loots. T_T

I managed to get the following:

1. 4 pieces gold bar- Is this in demand? What's the selling price of this item?
2. 1 pc. Pink Hearts
3. Ghost Wing- What's the current market price of this today? Is this even in demand?
4. 1 pc. Golden Hearts
4. And of course, bragging rights and unlocking another achievement for killing a Titan LOL.

Unless the gold bar is priced for 1-2 M and the ghost wing around 10M-20M and immediately salable, I'd say hunting Titans as a way to earn money is quite impractical. You have to invest 1M zullie and then, your fingers are stressed in between healing, rebuffing, resurrecting (I know, I have slow fingers trolololol), debuffing, and hitting the Titan, and then, you are only rewarded with the above things. I know that Titans also drop stinger cart parts but do the said items make for a lucrative business?

Based on my estimate, it would be better to farm equips(Oro and MOG), hearts (MOG and Ruins) and refines from ECF, and gather harvest mats to earn zullie. One of you might say that I should just stick with farming such items instead of hunting Titans if I'm only going to whine about it but here's a question, what's actually the purpose of introducing such bosses in the game when killing them is not even worth it IMO?

/Ends rant.

''Hunting'' at those ''more rare'' items

You got a point here SteelHeart.Wasting time on killing titans is not worth as the drop isn't this pleasant.I'd suggest you to level a bourg up to 150, invest 100 DP in a collector and farm refines in ECF. I find it much better even than harvesting, specially using dual guns with P[9]. And there is always market for refines.
Imma give you example anyway. I farm a stack of Enthrics (999) with 6 buffs - 120mins. You could sell it for 35-40m even in somebody's buylist, there are always people demanding it.
Meanwhile, when you've done 3 stacks of Enthric, you've already done a stack of Tincture, Arcanum and Hermes, which go like 65m per stack. Asides of that, Low ether, Ether, High ether,Low essence, Essence are still growing in stacks.
Another option is farming charms and ghost pots in Chess Dimension , but you need a bigger investment in a Shaman. You do the math. Hope I've helped.

The drop rate of those rare items is too low which makes hunting titans not worth it. T_T

Thanks for this detailed answer, Hefest. I know that refines really make for a lucrative business but I'm one unlucky person. Most of the time that I go to ECF, I always get killed. Wahahahaha. I have a shaman but already level 235 for mercury and red hearts farming but it would always be good to explore other farming venues that' why I tried farming Titans and see if it would make a good source of income.

Your suggestion about the chess dimension is really interesting. I can create another shaman for chess dimension farming but the question is, does the shaman need be geared up with IM set? If yes, then it would really take me a significant amount of time to complete the said set.

Imma pm you my ingame nick , you can contact me anytime you get killed in ecf. About the shaman, yeah it'd better be IM otherwise you'd waste alot of pots

Weeee. I am touched. Thank you so much for the offer but I don't want to impose. I'm pretty sure that you are a busy person. And besides, you might get a lot of enemies if you will help me. Hmmmn...but let's see. I will try farming in ECF again and If the PKing gets too extreme, I might PM you if shyness won't overcome me. XD

Hmmmn... thinking about creating a second shaman on the same account of my first shaman so that they will just share armors.

Thanks again, Hefest.

Why hunt titan if you can hunt zulie at ORLO.

^ As I've mentioned in my first post, it would be good to explore other farming venues that's why I hunted Titans to see if it's worth the effort and the time.

May I know where in Orlo you can hunt for zullies?

You still don't know? try roaming around

Nope. I only go to Orlo to farm Mercury. Anyway, thanks.

the mobs in chess dimension r weak , normally they hit u 5dmg , but u have better wear full IM ulti set to make ur AOE(fire tornado) higher dmg(faster killing)

Ahahahah. If only the competition is not that stiff. XD I allocated one whole day to gather Orlo and Junon mats (triple client) last week but oh dear, a lot of people were also farming for harvest mats. I can't keep up since most of the Orlo farmers have IM gathering tools and some of them even have boosters. As of the moment, I just settled myself with farming Junon and Eldeon mats.

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying, I assumed that they have high damage. Alright, I'll gear up my shaman with IM set.

Steelheart, on 30 October 2014 - 05:23 PM, said:

They are not farming there for the mats from trees and plant. As I said before, they are farming zulie.

^ You mean the millions of zullies, 1 DPs, and exp medals being dropped by the plants? If yes, the competition is still stiff. XD
