Those numbers probably put it right around Dehkia Thornwood/Yzrahid Highlands in terms of silver/hr. It's a great new spot to plop yourself right out of seasons. Solid silver/h before you can start doing some of the bigger money spots like Tungrad and DSR.

Had 75k crons sitting in my inventory, so I decided to finally try for some upgrades. Finished the Academy Combat missions which let me craft a SoV Mainhand. Crafted a Karazhad belt, then noticed the lack of BMC's and my lack of Magical Shards, so getting Kara rings / earrings will have to wait awhile. Using the bulk of the crons got the Belt to pen, the MH to pen, and my FG boots / gloves to tri. Still have enough to probably upgrade my Kara neck once or twice. My Disto earrings are still stopping me from hitting 427 DP, though tbh, I'm not that interested in Edania stuff.

So for now, I think I'll just focus on building up Crystal sets (mine is outdated) and getting PO's for BMC's filled slowly.

Took the free crons and poured all my silver into store crons and went into a tapping frenzy. No love with a success, but Im up to a 480 stack now, which I guess is something. Im thinking about switching up things from afk fishing to trying to process my way through years of lumber and maybe running some crates from valencia to yukjo. Im terrible at math, but it looks like it might be more money. I havent ran crates in years though and i know its not as good as it used to be, but with a few timber packing workers it might be worth a try

Tell em what you think. I e been debating making crates as well but it’s been so long I’m worried to start. Do you still go to mediah ( I think) to get the buff before you trade or is that done? Can you overload the horses the way you used to?

So for 254 AP/421 DP is Tungard/ Ash the best olaces to grind silver? Ash seems to drop necklaces pretty regularly

I tried out Tungrad Ruins tonight (got my NOV necklace), and was underwhelmed with the spot, mobs seemed annoying to kill. Also the Hungers that drop which are a large part of the cash don't sell on my server.

So I'm in the same boat, not sure where to grind now.

What's your total AP/DP? Dokebbi can be a solid alternative if you're around 1400AP and it's a really chill spot (less silver though). Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck at Tungrad until around 1500AP - which opens up some more options.

Also, the Hungers will sell if you turn them into Origins of Hunger. They don't sell as Essences of Devouring. So, wait until you get 4 and melt them down (all of this assuming you meant NA as your "server". I have no idea what the EU market is like).

From what Ive seen as I prepped for it, you go from Valencia to Nampo now. The desert buff thing has been removed so you dont have to worry about that anymore. Chop all your wood, funnel it to Valencia, make a shitton of crates (you need an Advanced Timber Packer worker or two or the process takes forevveerrr). Transport them to Nampo, overstack your horse at the bank the same ol way and sell em.

High mastery for processing helps, the maid outfit is a must and a good bit of weight is also handy as the processing stops when you go overweight. Once i get 25k of each plywood Ill start the crate making and finish chopping. At this point though, Im doubting it will be a better money maker than fishing, depending on your fishing mastery.

I think I cap out around 1420.

Is 1364 your fully buffed AP with all consumables, tent, house buff, Vell's, meal, etc. going?

Max seems to be 1451, harmony demi + courage.

Just Vells and standard buffs is 1373, Z-buff is 1401 and addon buff.

You're super close to being able to do DSR. You might try it and see what kind of trash you can pull. Definitely grab house buff as well as all the usual draughts. Envy gets you another 5AP also vs. courage.

You're pretty much stuck at DSR until about 1800 AP. So, get comfy with it!

I have gone and killed some shit at DSR, seemed less rippy than Dokkebi. Dokkebi seems like it's more money per hour with the crystal drops which I can actually use anyway by turning into Dawns. DSR has the same issue as Tungrad with the sales of Hungers. At DSR I could only do 2 spawns in total, the first would respawn before I finished the second. I'm unsure what the deal is. Isn't Jordine castle at 1500?

Nope, Aetherion Castle is 1600 and sucks ass for silver. It's even less than Tungrad. You don't really beat DSR for silver/h until Nymphamare Castle at about 1700, but Nymphamare is way less comfy than DSR and only makes like 50m more silver/h than DSR.

Like I said, DSR is basically where you're stuck (it's still good to hit the Nymphamare weekly once you hit 1700 though - since it helps you build your DR crystal you'll need for Orbita and gets you End Times fragments) until 1800 AP, when you can start handling Orbita Castle. DSR has really solid BMC drops which sell well and Origins still sell. Just because something is min listed doesn't mean it doesn't eventually move. It's the same in NA. We have several hundred min listed at any given time, but it only takes about 7-10 days to sell - which is a small price to pay for items worth 1B silver.

Dokebbi is a very solid alternative and very comfy. It's just technically less silver/h because it's a tower spot, which means it has capped trash loot/h. DSR isn't subject to that and you can get those events to chain off of each other. I've done 35k trash hours at DSR with LVL2 loot scroll, no agris - all because I got some lucky chains of the events.

They've been selling in 1-2 days recently for me. Wouldn't Orzekea be the next spot to move to after DSR, at upper 1500's AP?

You're right, I totally forgot about that spot because I fucking hate it. Especially now that they've ruined it by making the Marni version spawn slower and only 1 spot available on each server.
