Doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, haha. I don't use 2x and that's all there is to it, well, with the exception of Balrog 2x I got today and some family 2x I used at the same time to try and make it 4x. Only got a cold eye in that time though. Although in recounting the time I've spent playing since the patch, I should say it's way over 6 - 8 hours a day. Grossly over. I have even been neglecting work and life to hunt cards.
Ergoth drops often, too. I don't know why I am trying to justify this, I don't know why it's even an issue. I don't use it because it feels like cheating to me, I've stated as much to Isaac while playing.

Not sure what skill she uses but archmages have ice/fire demon which can pretty much 1hko any low level mob if it's decent leveled. I don't think bishops have any skill close to that except shining ray (genesis but bleh, FD/ID can mob faster imo on low level mobs). I basically use it to farm cards but i spend the majority of my time on area bosses and not regular mobs. If i took my x2 drop over to hunt normal mobs as often as area bosses, i'd probably have twice as many cards as i do now.
The chaos scrolls + other nice profiting scrolls make me want to keep hunting area bosses though. I've been neglecting my daily fm scans (1~3+ times a day) for card hunting but i've probably made more money hunting than fming which is good during the periodic dead merchanting months atm.

Not even about to turn this thread into a Mage debate but I will say there's not a difference between mages when it comes to low leveled monster card hunting.
And it's not that I don't believe you, BombsAway, it's that your luck amazes me, especially since I hunt about as many hours as you do.

My husband gifted me a 2x card tonight and I didn't want to waste it so Isaac and I went to the sentinals. In the 4 hours we got 2 fire and 2 ice (1 of each, each) and I got an STD card. I don't think 2x really works! I mean that's pretty pathetic. I don't think 2x actually even effects card drop rates.
P.S. all of this was between like 1:00 PM and now (3:00 AM.)
P.S.S. If someone could recount the actual cards that would be great, I just added the total there with my earlier 194 total. Not sure if it's accurate.

Whoa, you got a Triple Rumo card? I thought that would be really hard since the spawn is really low. Awesome.
