If so, I'm guessing that Piety is the same thingie, but probably longer to get there, correct?

Are Dominus drops better than Piety?
Are Piety drops better than Dominus?

What I'm thinking of doing is making a Piety run, then Dominus and keep switching back and forth, but never doing Dominus two times in a row, same with piety.

Honestly, as long as you know how the Zone layouts usually work, you can get to and kill either of them in around 2 minutes. Though I personally think Dominus is faster to get to.

But Piety has HORRIBLE drops. Dominus drops like 2-3x more loot, and more consistently drops Uniques as a result.

I don't know if Dominus is 2-3x, at least not with my MF numbers, but definitely better than Piety.

I do think that it's faster to get to Dom, I noticed that early on when I started farming him.

This thread is depressing. You did get CoE, but you have not gotten enough back in drops to even pay for the gear you are wearing.

My luck was similar back in domination.

This is very interesting, thanks for doing it. The result is really depressing tho. It really gets me thinking how I can get a soul taker without dedicating my whole life to it (and trading).

Good to see your discussion here.

I have done 630 sets already, and the results are not really good.
I got another Tabula and a pair of Maligaro's.

Some Occultist Vestment...ofc, not the ones we want.

I know that I am supposed to upload all the drops but it will take too much time.
So I will just update the thread from time to time and reply my result.

My thoughts on these runs remain same.

Usually, around 80-120 sets, you will get better-tier uniques like Tabula, Maligaro's, or anything that can actually support your gameplay.

For the question about Dom or Piety, my suggestion is that Dom runs are always better.
It's faster and gets you more loots.

But you have to make sure your build can handle it.

And, if you got a good partner like I do, who just tp at stair to upper and leaves the game on, you can save a lot of time for running every set.

Now I don't pick up any rare since identify them then vendor will take like 40-70 secs,
I just kill dom, see if there is/are some uniques, and go.
In that way, I can finish a run in 150 secs, for your information.
But, that's with my gears, and without those gears, you probably need to use dps gears to run, and go back to town for swapping mf gears during Dom is becoming final form.

I used to do that when I could not afford these gears yet, and it took like me 5-7 mins to finish a run.


Once again, English is not my first language, and I don't pay attention to my sentences too much. If I don't make myself really clearly, please feel free to ask any questions.

And, finally, yes, even I found a crown of eyes and manage to sell it for good price, these run can not support my gears. It took me so many hours to farm and trade to get me there. Now I am kinda bored so that's why I am doing these runs.

Voe.

Dominus always drops more loot.

On the other hand there is a lot of thrash mobs and blue/ yellow packs on the way to piety, all of them concentrated on narrow spaces, so you get tons of orbs and experience for leveling gems. I was a summoner before the free refund, and I only needed to lightning warp forward while watching everything around my BM die, didn't even need to stop unless for picking loot.

In conclusion, if your build is heavy AoE Piety might be a good option.

yea i do this to! its realy cool to do, and i just OWN dominus :)

Good thread. I think that's a decent amount of wealth for the time you invested (~60 hours?), especially with that high-ticket unique. If you account for all the trash rares that dropped, sold the decent ones for a small buyout in a shop etc, you made well over an exalt per hour. Not sure why some guys in this thread find this depressing.

P.S.: Why the fuck is this in Gameplay Help?

Yes, it's a good way to make currencies tbh. But it will make you feel so depressed if you are going to get top uniques.

Voe.

im ma try this too lol..i thought you can only get crown of eyes in high level maps. wtf.

I thought Rathpith Globe is only a map drop unique?
