Hey, im not sure if this belongs here, tell me if it doesnt and i will move it :)
Which gives more crowns per minute? JK or FSC? im not talking about crowns/CE, just crowns per MINUTE
Meaning the time/crs ratio, which gives more crowns per minute you spend there?
I tried testing it myself but something always goes wrong so my data ends up incorrect.
Thanks in advance!
This belongs in the General forum, I think.
It's a good question, but the answer depends on the skill and thoroughness of the players, so there is no universal answer (unlike crowns per CE or crowns per level). A solid team can do FSC in something like 30 minutes, netting 11,000 crowns plus materials (per player). I doubt that RJP is going to beat that.
FSC is generally better; D26 in particular is just one huge wave of zombies after another, and killing Vanaduke is worth roughly 3.5k (4.5k if you get 4 tokens) since you can trade 30 tokens for a shield and sell for 30k.
Your personal mileage may vary, but I find that an FSC+Vana run generally takes about 35 minutes with a good group and nets around 11k = 314 cr/min. A RJP + D14 Arena run generally takes about 20 minutes and nets a little under 5k = 250 cr/min. Even if the ratio of cr/time was the same, FSC would still be preferable provided you had enough time to run it, since you don't need to make as many trips to the terminal or get lucky and join a party there.
Firestorm Citadel. Its dense with mobs, more so than RJP at times.
Wait, do you solo?
Amount (and skill) of other players means a lot too.
Specifically thinking about FSC d25.
Does the # of players in a party affect the crown/ heat output? (not talking in crowns per minute, but the actual amount, does it differ?)
I read somewhere that having more people in a party generates slightly more crown per level, to offset the random material splits.
If we are talking about crown creation, into the game, then it is 4x as much.
@Demonicsothe: That seems unlikely. If they wanted to offset random material splits, they could just give materials to everyone like they already do with most stuff. I can only assume materials are split randomly because they want people who solo to get more. So unless you can find an official statement or a rigorous, statistically significant experiment showing that enemies drop more crowns in larger parties, I'd chalk that up to superstition.
However, prize wheel spins seem to award crowns to all players when any player spins crowns (evidence: sometimes I get crowns at the end of the level even when my spin doesn't come up as crowns), which means you may get some extra crowns at the end of the level if you're in a group. Also, larger groups are able to carry more minerals to the elevator, which are then given to all players.
Like I said, I read it somewhere. Not stating that as a confirmed truth.
I do know about the shared minerals, and have heard about the prize wheel sharing crowns. Easily confirmed though.
RJP is lacking the arena on d14 right now, wich means A LOT.
Not sure, but I'd say FSC until jelly goes back to normal.
