droprate & minmaxing goldfarming questions

    • New

    currently i am sitting at 1248% droprate with max buffs as knight/warlock. i am farming vale of rites on easy with crosswords set skill, the alchemist stone (item that converts items 80% directly into gold), parfume and the 120% move speed buff. i am wondering what the best way is to up my return on farming and maybe someone can help me out:


    1. does droprate have an upper cap or limit where you do not get more out of it?

    2. runes are maxed at xiii and can not go higher? i am asking this, because my droprate rune is xii and upgrading this seems like an easy+safe way to get more droprate. so far xiii runes is the highest i have seen.

    3. is there another class that does farming faster or better then knight/wl? i first did rogue/knight, which has good aoe, but suffers from more skillcooldown. similar to that i noticed most classes have the cooldown problem, meaning their skills are not ready when you move to the next batch of mobs. some rogue/x combo would have luck passive and movement speed, but the ones i tried had the same cooldown problem and it did not feel faster to me. maybe my equipment is not good enough to have reached a tipping point here or maybe knight/wl is the most convinient + fastest, i am not sure.

    4. do the normal and secret zodiac buffs stack or just replace another? see these: https://wiki.chroniclesofarcad…ms/companions/zodiac-pets

    5. in the romdatabase i saw droprate titles. which one(s) are somewhat easy attainable on this server? preferably without needing to activate the titlesystem thingy.

    6. what % do the corrupted stats increase of weapons with higher tier? my weapon is tier 14 with max droproll, sitting at 324% i think. if i go to tier 15 by how much would the droprate increase? i think i saw t15 with around 328%, but i am not sure on the value and if this is worth the roughly 15k dias it would cost.

    7. are there other droprate boosting things i am missing? i am using the altas buffs and mostly used an old topic on the official ROM forum as a guide.

    8. my farm spot currently is vale of rites on easy. is it advisable to move to a different spot or not and if yes why?


    thx for your time and reading. even if you just know a few things, i appreciate your help.

    1. There is cap reaching over 1k Droprate should already be more than enough, as long as you drop 4 items from each mob no need for additional droprate

    2. Answered in #1

    3..kn/WL is I think on of the best classes to grind and you can stay on it, not worth building setup for other classes

    4. You can have Droprate buff active from small, adult and legendary at same time, however only once a day without reset ticket.

    5.Droprate titles require unlocking the system at least only exception is a quest title from Talaghan that will give 100% Droprate if used

    6.i am not sure about the increase but as explained above not worth

    7.Might be possible but again not imported if You already hit over 1k Droprate

    8.vale.of rites is best farming spot I believe. I checked outamy spots aswell by myself but found no better source


    Final advise from me is getting move speed buffs

    Since you clear speed can be faster


    For example I can make up to 120milliom gold each hour if I tryhard currently, dunno how much you make.

    Regarding Point 3.

    Knight/Warden is a much better choice for goldfarming (or farming in general), especially if you use Ostrich.
    Just use Cross Swords iss and spam Power of the Wood Spirit. This way you can easily kill all mobs without standing still, even at high speed.

    Doesn't require any additional gear.

    thx for the responses. i will try knight/warden.


    for the droprate i thought more equals more rarer (blue) items, which sell for more gold. at least i thought i noticed getting more blue then green items, which i was expecting to sell for a bit more. so my thinking here was "more droprate = more gold". good to know that this does not matter after a point.


    as for farming speed/return, i think i am roughly at a bit over 60 mil per hour. i only do the round before the 1st boss, since i think they take a bit to long with my current equipment, aka usally one of the boss group got time to teleport away. at the moment i take slightly over the minimum time to reset the instance for 1 farm run there ( ~ 1 minute). i was not sure if more movement speed would help me currently due to that, since i need to wait for the instance reset timer anyway sometimes. if i can 1 shot the 1st boss group this becomes more usefull.


    for movement speed, i currently have ostrich, 104 ring, novice adventurer titel, pet (still need to level, but it is not much anyway) and rightside 104 gold armor set. i know one roboter part can give you movement speed and the 104er gold armor pieces, which i miss the left side.


    is there other stuff that can boost movement speed significantly?

    I am farming with rogue/warden currently altho not perfect class for it but in terms of move speed prolly fastest class

    Altho I can't provide accurate information about what I use and some stuff like golden wings are pretty rare as well that I have


    In the end if I want Max efficency I can reach up to 428% move speed rn if I go all out (missing shadow gloves )


    I clear until second boss.
