ThoxX Bosshunting Guide

[ThoxX]

General Requirements:

You will need some perin before you can start thinking about building a profitable bosshunting setup.
There are many guides out there with other strats to farm perins.
I always recommend Arcanist to begin with for farming on the Penya/RedChip Island.

- one ingame account with three LVL 300 Chars of the same 1 on 1 class.
(Harlequin, Crackshooter, Slayer.. ; there are many guides how to lvl to 300 in 4 hours you can also use that for lvling the mentor on your main char.)
- get all Gift Box +1 and Dropchance you can

couple LVL 21 on every char (Montor-Pupil recommended)
buy one Event Cloak of Honor (Gift-Box +1) with 100 Votepoints
guild Housing Gift-Box +1
get atleast a xtal +5 weapon for Gift-Box +1 (+20 recommended +ALL STATS will be your best friend)

Spoiler: 

seraph Buffs
lord Drop Event (everyone can start them @Lordmanager)
scroll of Aquisition (LOW) (Scroll shop)
lords Cheer (RedChip Shop)
Party Skills (you can press P on your keyboard - click on search - check strangers and friends - order by party skills by clicking on it and join a good one)

- invest your money that you farmed until now in pve equip for 1 char the better your equip the faster you will farm money ofcourse. (for your first dungeons like clockworks or sanpres normal awakes will do their job)
-use common bank scroll on every char (scroll shop bottom right)
-buy power ups / drop scrolls on every char. You can also get some advanced power ups because we wont waste any time of them. Remember that it really depends on your equip how much you should invest in power ups because some better awakenings will pay off more the best way is to farm/generate your own power ups by opening chests and boxes that you farmed.

what you aim for:

1/3/5/7/9 Behemoth/Jackalope + Lion
xtal +5 Weapon (xCards + atk runes recommended)
LVL 300 PVE SET xtal +5 or +10 (Harle is the cheapest ;ATK xCards Suit recommended but 40% is fine aswell)
LVL 250 Jewels DMG Set Leos/Sagis (awalys tradeable like a pet so you can invest in uas for that first)
depending on your money you can invest in statted 200IP fashion set or Legendary PVE/IA/ADOCH/ALL STATS Cove Fashion Drops
buff pet with lvl 2 soul leeching bead (with RedChips you can buy a Buff Pet Transy and 7 Keys to release all slots / Beads @Scrolls shop)

Spoiler: 

Beginners w/o uas
Normal awakes will do their job in low dungeons like I said before. You can farm some decent money per hour with 3 LVL 300 Chars.
aim for 3 awakes on every part that contains ADOCH/PVE/IA/STA/HP (STR/DEX depending on your class).
3 x STR / DEX on your helmet
2 - 3 x ATK on your gauntlets
3 x ADOCH on your Boots
then awake normal jewels that every monster drops and upgrade them to +20 using moonstones and aprotects (demols+vigors/areks).
Buy a cheap fashion set (@fashion shop) and awake it aswell. I like to use 2x 20+ ADOCH and then whatever usefull stat you get.
You can farm A+7% Cards for your Weapon+Suit in Mars Dungeon @Flaris on every server.
When you get to the point where you can affort the things I mentioned before like the LVL 300 PVE Set you can invest in some uas to awake your gauntlets.
Then the helmet.

POWER UPS

- Pride of Victory (Chests)
- Delicious Cookie (A) (Chests)
- Love Chocolate (Couple)
- Gingerbread (Chests)
- Upcut Stone (Scroll shop)
- Scroll of Aquisition (LOW) (Scroll shop)
- Lords Cheer/Blessing (RedChip Shop)
- Legendary Potions (Chests / Votepoints (PVP Grunt Package) / Collecting)
- For LVL 300 Bosses or Cove you should get some Res Scrolls (Scrolls shop) and Pocket-Pangs (MHT shop)
- Grilled Eel (RedChip Shop)
- Candy Floss / FlyForFun (Quest Treasure Box)

Eel Bug (Legal)

the Grilled Eel bug will have the most impact on your bosshunting.
- Use Restat (Scroll shop) and stat everything on STA
- get as much HP as you can (get buffed / use all power ups / get a STA pet...)
- Use Grilled Eel
- Use Restat again
- Equip your PVE damage equip again

- Stat to archive the following

stat dex until you have 85% blockrate with all selfbuffs
stat sta until you have enough hp for the bosses you want to hunt
you can easily run small dungeons with ~1mil HP
LVL 300 bosses at least 2mil HP
stat the rest on STR (Crackshooter goes DEX for Damage)

Dungeons / Ways

Every Dungeon Boss Drops: (Only Cove and Faction Bosses doesnt drop Blue Chips)

-I Killed a Boss Box (can contain the following things: random amount of UAS; Quest Treasure Box; cs pet/cloak; MHT)
-Blue Chips (1k = ~5p you can check the BlueChip Shop next to the RedChip Shop)
-MHT (dungeons with mid Bosses like Aminus or Cursed will drop a good amount)

Cove

Location: Every City next to the Crystal Upgrader

Cooldown: 12 Hours

For running Cove without dieing you should: (still get some ress scrolls and pocket pangs just in case a nymph hits you)
-have at least 2 mil hp
-have full block rate (85%)
-water element +20 on suit + weapon (reduces his damage and boosts yours against fire)
-deal 10-20 Mil Damage or more
-never face the nymphs around the mid bosses they will 1 hit you. (if you will enter the circle of the mid boss he would charge towards you. just take him to a safe place)
-know the 2 patterns to bypass the 1 Hit Spell from Blue Meteo:

Pattern 1
-get hit 8 times.
-run away until your name appears on your screen.
-wait until his Wings flapped 3 times.
-pattern 1 Done and 1 Hit Spell bypassed.
-jump to Pattern 2

Pattern 2
-get hit 6 times.
-run away until your name appears on your screen (this time he will melt before the 1hit spell just run until your name appears)
-wait until his Wings flapped 3 times.
-pattern 2 Done and 1 Hit Spell bypassed.
-jump to Pattern 1

Drops
-I Killed a Boss Box
-Crystal Transformation Stone (for Baruna-Crystal Transformation)
-Crystal Enchant Scroll (for Crystal Upgrading ~8mil each)
-Crystal Enchant Success Scroll (for Crystal Upgrading ~3-4p each)
-LVL 300 PVE Set Parts
-Statted Fashion up to insane rarity for example +45% ADOCH


NOW WE CAN START BOSSHUNTING XD

you know what you need to farm every dungeon that exists on this server solo without dieing but what is the most efficient way now?
well thats what we set all this up for.
In my opinion Deungeons that have a long run before the Boss doesnt pay off. (except for Cove because of the unique drops)
Thats why I did set up my own route:

-CW (easy and you are instant in front of the boss sadly 2h cooldown)
-Sanpres1+2 (easy and takes only around 30 sec to run through)
-(Upresia1+2)(hard to deal damage to him because he isnt fire)
-(Aminus+Cursed)(for MHT + Aminus Box to get lvl 3 Beads)
-!Cove!

This are the best dungeons in my opinion 1 run takes me ~25min.
Now you run them on your first char and when you are done you trade your equip with the bank system to the next char (thats why we activated the common bank scroll).

The goal at Bosshunting is to be able to only farm Cove. (espacially after the drop rate increase for PVE Sets)
You would need more than 3 accounts with chars of the same class and then only build new weapons on every account because only that is Soul-Linked
(in the case you bought the Cloak of Honour with Votepoints you have to get him on every account aswell)

or....

you can just put your soul-linked weaps on the bank of the next character you will use on your next run.

No, it's exactly as what he says.

You make 3 accounts with 3 characters inside each account with the same job. Making it 9 characters in total.

So you could transfer all your gear to the other accounts, which in turn you'll probably use some baku or a poorly upgraded malefic.

The idea is to cove 9 times a day.

but...

I find focusing in your 1 main with 2 alts better since you could just run all dungeons each character and after doing the last character, the first one's cooldowns are done so you could just run it again. Kinda better since you'll get the average BC, unlike making tons of Cove Alts just to get some cess. Not to mention the time involved.

My 3 characters takes 6.5hrs all together to clear cove, including monsters, and do most instanced dungeons twice per character. That is excluding time spent transferring items, afk's and dc's in between runs.
And by the time 6.5hrs is over, you could just go back to main character and repeat doing dungeons for BC/ikabb/mht again.

but again, if you have tons of hours to play with, and doesnt have a tight schedule of playtime, doing cove 9 times for the whole day might seem doable for some :D

---

Btw, nice guide. This will be helpful for players starting at boss hunting.

I may suggest tho, getting wilds and herneos in the mix is a good idea as well, locations are not that far and they give decent BCs and kinda easy to kill.

My personal route is Ankou>Up1>Up2>Clock>San1>San2>Wilds>S.Wilds>C.Amin us>Aminus>Hern1>Hern2> Do cove and clear > repeat all dungeons
The idea is to time the same cooldown dungeons together so you could run them again on that particular order for efficiency.

For starter players with mostly 250sets, some 150 jewelries and 200ip stated, clc and facemask with probably M Weaps can clear all of these for 1 hr or so

For decently geared players, they can do it in 40mins more or less.

For me it takes approx 25mins for the instanced dungeons and 1hr for killing meteo and clearing whole cove. While rate of farming in meteo is varied, doing the instance dungeons I mentioned nets me 5k BC for atmost 30mins of run time. That is excluding Ikabbs/mht/qtbs.

Well I wouldnt recommenend to clear the normal monster in Cove with your Bosshunting char.
For that you should get an Arcanist that 1-2 hits them and youll be done in 15 min clearing the monsters.
Also you talk about affort in Cove but run Ankou what is one of the worst part when it comes to BC/h or perin/h.
Maybe cove takes me 3-5 min longer but like today i droped 6 cess in one run thats ~18-24p and one legendary ia fashion part + you can drop for example clean duelist or deadshot.
Easy 300p for 1 run and after the next patch the drop rate will be increased aswell.
But thanks for questioning

[STRanger]

Ahhh, I've read that last part wrong. I thought he mentioned to buy weaps on each character on one account, thus, only transferring gears and accessories. My bad.

But yeah, 1 account with 3 of the same jobs would do just fine as PuroKishi has mentioned.

[ThoxX]

Yeah and like he said thats exactly what i did. Read both massages again :D

Well, it's a case to case basis. I use my old Tenshi for swapping on cove for the DMT bonus. My Slayer uses the AoE and does it in 2 hits anyway, so it's 2 birds in one stone for me. But if I don't clear cove, I can end it in 30mins together with all the dungeons I mentioned. And for Ankou,idk, most of the dungeons appear the same to me, 3mins approx. AND I use the walking time inside to prem up. Which takes like 1min to do so(3 lines of prems) so no biggie. And for coving like 50x already in 2 weeks, I haven't got a single PVE part, so I kinda rely on BC for most farm. Until the update is out tho, might still change.

PLUS after doing cove, you wont be doing anything afterwards anyway, so clearing all available dungeons wouldn't hurt

With BC dungeons it's 5k Bc/25mins so 25p in one run excluding ikabbs/mht/qtbs. I dont expect PVE parts anyway so it's just cess for me in cove which is 18-20p. What's profitable is the CES tho. average 900-1k Pieces, that's 75p for less than an hour, By the time you finished clearing cove, most dungeon cooldowns are down, and just repeat it, then transfer to 2nd char.

But with the upcoming update, if PVE droprate becomes good, it might be worth doing 3 accounts again.

That's what I did back then, 3 accounts, while main account have Malefic, 2nd and 3rd accounts had Baku weaps with A cards. While the damage is low, it is still doable. Because BC farming wasn't even out back then. So doing cove multiple times a day is the most profitable way of boss hunting.

Also consider having the other alts have Seraph Pairs or any lvl 290 character, as getting DCs in cove is quite common. also work together as couples too. Also work on having lvl 2 mentor for the bonus pve too.

With that, you can just rush cove with the 2 accounts, that would prolly take around 10-15mins with Baku and A cards that'd be 1-1.5hrs just for the alts. Then spend remaining time on clearing BC dungeons.
Having a cove clearer if you don't have one is a different story tho, and that's what I'm kinda studying right now.

Personally, this would be profitable AFTER the pve droprate increase. As of now, I still farm by doing every BC dungeon except Kalgas and Risen. As BC/Ikabbs/mht is profitable as it is. Cove is still a gamble cause PVE parts drop randomly. Unless it's a duelist, deadshot, monk or any other suit, most parts like thief, illusionist etc only costs 25p or even less. If you are lucky and get one of the 3 adoch class' suits, it's really a win.

And if the droprate is really noticeable, making like 2 alts or even more might be a better idea(since Baku with A cards and runes would prolly cost 100p or less each anyway)

[ThoxX]

Well I think you still didnt get the point of my goal for bosshunting.
My goal is to run cove in 10 min change the equip to another char and log out. Your prems will stop running until you log in for the next run.
I would never recommend to run cove with baku and a cards. As I mentioned in the guide in (recommended) you should have at least 10-20 mil damage.
Your argument about the bad pve drop:
When I run Cove the worst drop i ever got in liek 100 runs was only 2 cess thats still ~7p mid boss fashion drops not included. You still do more money with Cove than BC hunting.
I know a person who only droped 1 Penya bag but i guess thats like 1/1000 times and after the drop rate increase like mentioned 20 times you aim for only farmin cove.

uhm no, I knew it the start, I did this back in 2014 too and with shit items at that. I think you just missed what I said. I even suggested in the end to bring a dungeon holder, and as a couple as well for increased drop rate bonus. and probably some pupils for a nice 20% boost. I even went and said to make more than 3 accounts.

For baku, it was a mistake, I was talking about a cheaped out Male weapon but with A/S cards instead, just make it +5 for the bonus. AND even with a Baku, you can still do cove lol People farm cove even w/o malefic before. Making a cheaped out one for starters work until you can either buy a maxed out or pimp your own Male weap instead.

About the bad pve drop, it wasn't really an argument, it was mostly my personal opinion in cove. and I believe it is also what most players feel/say. That's y they boosted the drop rate because a lot of players are having difficulties in getting pve drops.

And BC hunting, well idk, it's personal preference really. BC hunting nets you 50p per hour and it's fixed and steady source of income. Even without ikabbs that occasionally drops uas and even MHT that can sell 6p for 10k pcs. Cove gives random from 1 cess to 7cess and occasional pve parts. But I agree it gives more income specially if you get atleast one or two PVE parts from main adoch classes.

But the downside of it, it has 12 hours of cooldown. even with 9 characters, you can prolly hunt cove in about 2hrs with mediocre items and a bit faster if you already have good items.

All I'm saying is just include all instanced dungeon. I mean if you finished all those coves, you have to wait 10more hrs atleast to run it again. Unless you just call it quits already.
I mean, what's the point in mentioning BC dungeons anyway if you're not gonna do it all :D
There are lots of people that play more than just 2hrs anyway.

With 9 cove runs, it will prolly take 7-15mins depending on gear. so it's 1hr-2hrs mostly. and after that you could just go back to Character 1 and just do BCs until you get to last character. That's what I'd call efficiency :)

[ThoxX]

Yeah exactly BC is bad but consistent income and i mentioned it because of people that never bosshunt in insanity or flyff in general.
They will hunt them some times for sure but after you run them blind + you get less money its just not worth it. Cool to have it but no pro farming potential.
I would love to see a challenging dungeon that drops the new gear tho.
Team affort would be nice to see.

[grinchhill]

The bosshunting debates here are good for newbys. Just put all the good infos into the main post so the newbys can read the summary

[ThoxX]

Hey

Yeah sure. I will improve my guide from time to time. Just puttin the the raw infos in there without any context many questions will come up and thats not the goal of a guide
