You can get minute runs, and you can run two other people for 100g each so;
350g*60 runs = 21k an hour

Realistically, ~1 minute and 10 seconds per run when you factor in the zoning and such.

But that's still ~18k an hour, not too shabby considering how ridiculously easy and simple it is, plus if you have a survivor .. you might be grinding the hell out of HFFF anyway.

Oh yes. Farming with other people. Add in all the times that you get some loser who tries to scam you, or takes the quest first thing then /ragequits when a hero dies too early, or turns in the reward and zones out right as you have you cursor over the quest reward, or... you get the point.

Id rather be poor and use collector gear then have to unnecessarily deal with PUGs.

Actually you are very close.But it is a craftable item that has a high value.I'm only holding onto this till I have it nailed down in absolutes(if that is possible).I'm thinking any DECENT build will pay off on this and at moment have it nailed down to just taking heroes.Of course I'm sure a solo build CAN do this,but of course the problem is can the market support this?Otherwise this turns into a sell to merchant 10gp a pop,but I'm thinking due to popularity of a certain toon this can remain steady.Not totally sure on this whole thing.Hence my hesitation in revealing.

my tip:

farm as much gold as you can from that source, then when you are so rich that you couldnt care less - share it

and dont give me that greedy a$$hole look ppl :P you found it, you earn it, if you share it - kudos to you

Sorry to burst your bubble but feathers are 30gp each, not 300. The merchant sells them in bulks of 10 at a time.

Most profitable spot ever = DoA when first released. Armbrace was selling for 300e+. A single Titan gem would net you well over 100k + XX each. Duo/Triple teams made HUGE amounts of money at that time. That is the most profitable ever hands down.

@OP - If your intention is to make quick cash NOW in the present you already missed the train. Making money was 100x better in the past. The "best ever" is long gone.

I just 55/105/330/600/VwK etc... (the list goes on) Nahpui. Standard build so look it up. If you have any questions take it to wiki. As far as being hugely profitable or not. If your intention is get rich fast then farming feathers isn't going to cut it. As it stands right now I think feathers are somewhere in the vicinity of ~30gp each or ~300g for a set of 10.

Not really a secret. If it really was as profitable as you think it is that area would be flooded with farmers. That is not the case. As a matter of fact you got your math wrong on the value of feathers. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Originally I dropped 100 feathers on the first run then dropped 80 on the second.They have settled down to a 30-50 range.In 30 minutes I had a stack easy working on another stack.Takes about 1 minute to find someone wanting feathers to make stuff.Took me 10 minutes tops to kill everything here.At moment readjusting rates but got an easy stack in 30 minutes(adjusted party for speed and efficency) and have my runs setting at 8 minutes.So looking at this completely in NM.Also you are right have rates of money messed up.So thinking get this at 5 minutes(10+ runs an hour)at 30+ feathers a run looking at 10k an hour give or take.Which blows after my initial 2 runs(those looked like way more money).The only other thing this place had was an extreme Celestial weapon drop(all classes).Have nailed 9 of those in gold so far.After 9 runs.

This run's been around forever.

Stacks of feathers are going for ~7k a stack.
You can do a run in 8 minutes? Fine. Let's say you do a perfect 8 minute run, and get your average top drop of 50 feathers.

8 minute runs = 7.5 runs per hour
7.5 (runs) x 50 (feathers per run) = 375 feathers per hour
1 stack = 250 = 7k
1 feather = 28g
375 feathers (at 28g) = 10.5k an hour

You'd be better off farming raptors for unided golds and black/white dyes.

Also, your Celestial weapons (Arn't they always gold?) are unlikely to be max, and since it's Factions, they're unmoddable.

yeah I've been doing the HM Nahpui farm, though only to get feathers for essences of celerity for consets for DoA runs. I've netted quite a few gold celestials, though none have been r9 15^50.

DoA runs is where the real profit is, Nahpui was only supporting that. The nightmare weapon mechanic change was somewhat of a nerf of this run for the 55er (I know there are other builds but since it's not that great of a farm, I don't really care to get a better build)
