Data from 200 mostly non-uber Feared

[u/Bioinfo_Magician]

I see a Feared posts every league and the profit/hr always seems lower than I expected based on Wiki drop rates, so I decided to run 200 and track everything above ~50 chaos. I ended up with ~1.5x profit per hour, but that is partially due to my low run time.

• Total Cost: -380 divs

• Total Revenue: 1,635 divs

• Total Profit: 1255 divs

• Total runtime: 30.1 hours (~9:14/set)

• Div/hr: 41.7 (ranged from 36-50 in my 4 sets of 50)

.

Methodology

Bought all frags during the week, setting cheap buy orders and waiting. Ran 100 sets Fri-Sun on 2 separate weekends, liquidating every 50 sets. Fast rotations of Regular Sirus, Dread, regular Uber Elder and Uber Cortex, using a mule account to port out of Sirus and Uber elder. Build could also jump into Sirus storms to trigger him quickly, and sometimes phase past the last Dread phase.

I kept everything above ~50c. ID'd all Crown of the Inward eyes, selling good rolls and corrupting the rest (0 hits). I used Sirus/Dread speeches to ID/corrupt/pricecheck/manage inventory. Dark Monarchs are listed as sold unidentified but I started IDing them half way (very worth).

I tracked the runs in sets of 50 to see variance and the div/hr ranged from 36 to 50. For run time estimate, I tracked 3 sets of 10 and averaged. Pretty consistent times, with only variable being whether I phased Dread and skipped his last ~25 second rose step (managed every 5 or so runs).

Build was a Str stack Juggernaut, with 500 M DPS, very high mobility and high EHP. On a "typical" feared build, I'd expect ~10-12 min runs for ~30-35 div/hr profit

.

Notes

• Even with 0 big ticket drops, profit would still have been 24 div/hr

• I think I got insanely lucky on Bottled Faiths, since all came from the Feared

• Roughly half the revenue was from Feared invite (2 wines, all Bottled, all Dying, lots of orbs)

• Happy to give tips on lowering Feared run time if people are interested.

I did 50 feared sets before quitting the league, all uber versions except for Sirus. 0 flask drops. 1 rational doctrine. Your numbers seem extremely lucky to me.

[u/Bioinfo_Magician → u/MaximusDM2264]

Wiki claims the drop rate on the flask is 2%, which is roughly what I saw. That means 1/50 but with such a low chance you'd expect extreme variability. I went on a ~80-90 rotation streak without dropping one. Got it almost right away in my first set of 50 then not til the very end of my 2nd set of 50.

I think the only thing I got lucky on was Bottled Faith drops, which were ridiculously high considering I did Uber Cortex, which can't drop it.

I hear ya man. But I'm talking zero tinks besides a single awakeners orb. It burned my soul. Did like 20 Uber mavens, no voices from like 15 simu. It's like GGG gave me the biggest middle finger

[u/Bioinfo_Magician → u/FlakyIndependent3426]

No big drops in 50 is very unlucky, but I came close to that in my 3rd set of 50. Probably ~40ish in before I went on a hot streak. That run of 50 might have been only 25 div/hr if I didn't hit big right at the end. Its profit no matter what though.

By God I'm so happy to see someone had the same shit drop rates as me. I was so excited to finally have an Uber feared farming build just to get gutted by drops

[u/PoE_Acronym_Bot]

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

• eHP - Effective Health / Hit Points / Pool, total number of damage that can be taken before death, after damage mitigations. (e.g. Combination of Life, Energy Shield, damage avoidance or mitigation)
• div - Divine Orb (Currency) (Wiki)

What do you mean by using a mule account to get out of cortex/elder? Did you 3:1 recipe the bad monarchs?

[u/Bioinfo_Magician → u/Schmeichelsaft]

Just an extra account I had logged into my wife's computer, sitting in my hideout. As soon as Sirus/UElder gave their drops, I used it to port out. Saves ~25 seconds on every run.

Yes I 3:1'd the bad Monarchs. ID'd around 50 and although I didn't track it, it was way more money (2x?) than selling unidentified.

[u/Shoddy_Importance_92]

early league its way worse week 1 and two

[u/Original_Image_7489 → u/Shoddy_Importance_92]

I farmed more than a mirror from feared week 1-2. So idk which part is way worse that you're referring to

[u/8087808 → u/Original_Image_7489]

what build were u using to farm that week 1-2?

[u/Original_Image_7489 → u/8087808]

Connor's strength stacker

in past leagues at least it used to be.. back when atziri was part of it
