So I just did a Roarmulus run this afternoon and recorded it on video (did a multibox, I'll post about it properly later when it's done uploading). Anyway, since I had the opportunity, I checked my crown balance in the video at the start of IMF and again after collecting the loot boxes just before the elevator to emberlight, and found that I had gained exactly...

2153cr

Now granted I was dragging along the corpse of my alt, so that's really 4306 when I add the two together, but we'll keep this discussion to per-player payout since that's the relevant statistic here.

I dunno, it just struck me as a low number, especially given I did a similar corpse-dragging-multibox snarby earlier this week and pulled in around 1800cr per-player in raw coins.

Does anyone have recent numbers for RJP (counting only from the start of the first RJP level to the elevator to emberlight, not any levels before or after) to compare this with? I know RJP isn't exactly the fountain of crowns it used to be back in the day, but I'm pretty sure it still pays out better than 2153cr.

Don't you know RT is low already?

Thought everyone knew that...

This account is 100% new, I gave her 200 crowns for theinvite, joined at terminal (do you want just boss levels or can we consider d14 too?)
She got kicked later on >.< but you can see 2k+ half through d16

You use 3 alts for triple the cr payout!?

That's cheating! Smart, but cheating!

Teehee

And this is for only the levels of IMF/RJP, right? (F15, F16, F17)

As in, not counting the level right before it? (F14)

@Oakgear I dunno, I was

@Oakgear I dunno, I was reading some forum posts claiming that IMF and RJP were actually on par with each other for crown payouts.

@Juances/Shortnsparky Not counting D14, yeah. Obviously a D14 arena is profitable in its own right, but that's independent of the boss levels it precedes.

I've done calculations for RJP and IMF T2 full-stratum runs, but nothing recent. If I maybe have the chance, I could do some more up-to-date looks at them -- and just D15-D17 specifically.

I think the last time I paid attention to my crown gains IMF yielded around 5k, whereas RJP gave 6.4k.

Stats I collected a few

Stats I collected a few months back put IMF at around 1100 for depth 15, 800-something for depth 16, and a couple hundred for the boss (consistent with your numbers).

Stats I collected for RJP around the same time were about 1k for depth 15 and 2k for depth 16. Definitely higher. RJP D16 has a ton of monsters, IMF D16 has a ton of traps. Traps don't drop loot.

They're close enough that IMF can pull ahead if it's preceded by an arena and RJP isn't, but RJP is definitely higher when all else is equal.

It depends on luck

It depends on how many treasure boxes the game spawns for you and what drops from them. Treasure boxes only drop one type of thing whether it's a mat, item. heat, or cr so if you get lucky and get all cr from the boxes you get a higher payout.

Speaking of wich, Some treasures on IMF don't spawn at all sometimes.

Idk tbh, everytime I do a T2

Idk tbh, everytime I do a T2 RT gate from D9~RT, I always come out feeling like I only made around 3~4k total, whereas when I do F9~JK, I always make somewhere around 7~8k. The main reason I do JK more is becasue I persistantly make far more crowns there than on RT, altough I thought that was the intention, what with IMF/RT being far easier and quicker to do than RJP/JK.

hmm....

for me, it's still about the same if you can sell those boss token items for a decent price.

Talkin' about raw crown

Talkin' about raw crown payout, not including trying to sell of items+unbind fees after every single run.

@Tyhlosion You can do it

@Tyhlosion You can do it either way. I had my alt running on a different computer so the sound wouldn't interfere with my recording, but when I'm just rage crafting I'll run two instances on my wintendo so I can switch back and forth easily.
