Sorry, should have specified: I know it's instanced, but I don't know how many instances there are per channel. It always tells me "try again later" when I enter (and then lets me in without delay), so the thing is obviously prepared for the possibility of being overrun.
Probably irrelevant for GAZED.

Both a buddy & I were hunting separately during the last drop event (plus a 2x drop card), we got over 200 coins each. Since I'm just a bishop, I'm sure the other classes can rake up some more.
Just one more event for me & I'm done!
:f6:
Time to farm!

I always got that error every time I entered the boss room. I have no idea if it's of any relevance.

I've never gotten that error, and I'm in Scania...

I keep getting that error but it does nothing to me.
Anyways, I managed to go on 6x drop rate (easter egg, 2x event, 2x card) and got:

Does it really multiply because lots of people in my Skype say it adds?

It's always been multiplicative.
I don't understand how people get the impression multiplication is additive.

It's the map you log into if you crash / DC in the president room.
My paladin had it happen to him tonight

How long did it take you to farm these coins? All four hours of 2x?

Yup; there was a time I had to afk but that was for like 10 minutes.

It's because Nexon does confusing things like stack %total damage and %boss damage additively in the same multiplier, or Combo and critical multiplier. Who knows.

So is corridor or the boss room faster?
Gentleman Coin Help - Cere - 2012-11-01
Sephie Wrote:So is corridor or the boss room faster?Sophisticated Gentledead need several hits to be taken down, whereas Zompkins are OHKO for everyone. Boss takes for-fucking-ever to kill, and there's no guarantee it'll even drop anything even on 2x (other than the quest item, if you're doing the quest). You could just ignore it, but I should think it would be annoying to accidentally get hit with its stun attacks while trying to farm. I admit I haven't time to actually measure how many minutes per coin or w/e each method takes, but if you have skills with good horizontal range I should think corridor's on par with boss room at minimum. I just dislike the boss room because I have like no Use space and it's a hassle not knowing what I'm picking up behind the pillars.
Of course, corridor also may have other players, some of whom are actually telehacking bots, so.................

Sephie Wrote:So is corridor or the boss room faster?
Personally, i prefer the boss room faster. Since the corridor can have other people in it, there can be ksers and botters which could be annoying. Adding to that, you can't use mobility skills so I think it's worth being in the boss map just to kill the gentleman zombies and exit, re-enter, repeat.

Okay, I did the timing! I realized directly measuring coins per minute or minutes per coin would take waaaay too long if I wanted to avoid rampant error, so I measured monsters per minute instead (timer + screenshotting EXP bar before and after). I tried to just focus on the Gentledead in the boss room, but as it turns out that's kind of impossible since the boss is the one that spawns the Gentledead after a while >_> Probably because of this, the monsters per minute ratio is about 21 in the boss room, whereas it's 72 in the corridor.
If it's relevant, I took 222 seconds to clear the boss room and 60 to go from one end of the corridor to the other. I measured the corridor first, or else I would have tried to do 222s of it exactly... too lazy now
//edit: Oh, and no KSers or botters in the corridor where I was testing. That's significant for them as don't back the hell out and CC at the sight of another living soul.

Leaving only one little question: what is the coin drop rate of the different mobs?
Anyway, got my chair today with no farming, just a lot of flask-holding for Cassandra. Ugleee chair.

SaptaZapta Wrote:Leaving only one little question: what is the coin drop rate of the different mobs?I'd assumed they were the same, but you're right, we don't know. Anecdotally speaking, I don't think I've ever gotten more than one coin per boss session but have definitely gotten more than one coin per three one-way corridor runs. I am so not going to check that now that there's no 2x, though.

//edit: In any case, them as wants to avoid KSers would do best to hope that Gentledead droprate is more than three times that of Zompkin droprate.
