I'm not a farming expert but I choose UW because Ectos are worth wayyyy more than Shards are. I can't be bothered trying to sell anything other than Ectos via trade but I imagine that it wastes a good deal of time of the players who do try to do that.

Hence in my view most profitable way is solo UW and merch anything that isn't Ectos.

i think it's about the same, but shards have a way higher droprate than ecto's. Although i've had smite runs that give 4 ecto's, it's most of the time 0-1.
about the speed, uw wins. I did smiteruns with w/me, skipping the aatxes in 15-20 minutes. For FoW beach it's around 25-30 i think.

Yeah, they're pretty simillar. Now which is easier? In my mind both are easy once you're used to them. However the run to get to the forest is maybe harder than the run to the beach. A lot of players can't figure out how to pass the group of skellies at some point.

That's true but Smites go down faster and Aatxes are more hard, not every build can handle them.

And i'm not good at making videos but i will try to make a guide, its so funny to do^^ and 50-60k as reward for who can do it.
I dunno which is better between solo fow and solo uw...
Coz solo fow= 1 hour= 50k, solo uw= 20 mins each run and 50k/hour...
Fastest? uw. Adrenalinic? fow. I make the same money/hour in both so
cant really say whats better... Alternate!
Still waitin...

Best things i got recently:

- Gold Shadow Swords
- Sapphires/Rubies (very frequently in this period, 1 of them each run ofc)
- Crystalline (it was req 12 but still gold and 15 enchanted, sold for 200k, found from chest)
- Ecto if u do the quest and kill banshee!!!

When u cleaned up the whole place u have 15/20 shards, 3-6 golds, and about 5k in white stuffs.

In this way, doing it repeatly, i gained about 3 mil, it takes 1 hour but worth it, and funny coz u cant die lol.
The only problem is that ****** Rastigan, he suicide himself sometimes -_- i hate him!
Btw, i say before making the guide: You must have and beated NF and proph or u cant do it.

Pande, another italian!!! PM me in game i'll show u how to do it!
I'll show the build to Pande so he can help me to make a guide soon
ehh the bolded and underlined part is a bit fishy but if you can show us a screenie of you at the forgemaster by yourself i will be more then convinced.

I don't think there is a solo build, doing UW (totally) all by yourself --> if there is then you are impressive good and i think you have a cheat code "GOD mode ON"

* 5K in White stuff???? How big is your bag it must be VERY Big. Or do you mean including gold coins?

* Crystalline found from chest --> you mean chest after a quest like the quest from Rastigan?

*You say build/guide is comming soon --> it's now already 2 months ago, so that's why a lot of ppl don't believe you. Especialy if you say it's done in 1 hour

Cya,

Mr Jorgen

Hello,

First off, way to hi-jack his thread there Witte. Nicely done. lol j/k.

Second, in the same amount of time spent farming, FoW and UW are the same profit-wise. As for your question of what's easier between forest and beach: It depnds on the build. For example, The Ranger Forest Farmer is faster than the Warrior beach, but the Dervish Beach beats the Ranger Forest Farmer (and ive also heard the Ritualist Forest Farmer is faster than the Dervish Beach Farmer).

And finally, do Rubies Saphires and Diamonds drop in the Forest? I have heard they drop on the beach. If so, which monsters do they drop from?

my guess is he mistyped and meant it was grape. but now we'll never know with all you guys attacking him, why the hell would he post his build after all this crap.

Either way though which is faster and makes more money is as pointlessly vague of a question as any of the answers to it will be meaningless without knowing what you want to farm with?

I'd say FoW is most profitable and funny. Got 105 shards for my FoW armour in >10 hours. When i was gonna get the ectos it took me 10 hours to get 20.

and since shards is 3 times less you can recount that to 105 shards vs 60 shards... FoW ftw!
