What's Rise or Fall? All I know is that I can get Tokens REALLY easily now. :P
EDIT: Nevermind, it's right before Jelly... :P I have a horrible memory.

It should be noted that the mission version of Royal Jelly Palace rewards significantly less dosh than its gate version. You can also see that some of the enemies in the JK mission are easier than if you'd done the gate -- for example, in the penultimate battle, almost half of the jelly cubes that spawn are T2 in their abilities (only one spike, etc.). Via the gate, those are all T3 jellies and usually give better drops.

I think the reason JK
I think the reason JK missions give so much less is that you're also spending less than half of the CE needed to go through it (3 floors as opposed to 8 max). If you made 4-5k cr doing a 3 floor dungeon (bear in mind the boss doesn't even give that much crown, that's just for the 3 tokens) that would defeat the purpose of doing much of anything else for crown, really.

“The great thing about the Crimson Hammer Mission isn’t beating Seerus, it’s showing everyone online that I did.”
Also it's RJ, not JK. How can you get RJP right in one sentence then say JK in the next?

Yea, Simohayha is right in
Yea, Simohayha is right in saying that some of the T3 jellies in rjp was changed to t2 in the missions. Also because the entire rjp floors, including jk, was moved up a depth.
Bloodbane, that's like saying doing the entire T2 run is better for cr. It might be for elevator passes, but on ce, it isn't. Just because you do the previously floors, doesn't mean you get more money. You still spent ce, and overall made less profit.

Personally I can't wait for the Firestorm citadel mission to come out. Then I can run FSC for the challenge and not have to worry about trolls putting fiends just above it.
Also, the boss missions give you faster access to boss tokens, so that's a plus. (:

Run FSC... for the challenge... and yet you have a problem with fiends...
Paradox.

Doing RJP, but skipping boss is 2k for 20ce
Doing Rise or fall is 3k for 30ce.
Uh oh, same thing.

That's exactly the point I'm making, though. RJP Mission is 3 floors where you make 2.4-2.6k cr (I think I've seen about 2700 give or take a few cr more often than not) and 3 tokens. Last run I did that involved the RJP before I unlocked the mission got me about 6k, though the majority of it obviously came from the 4 floors after the terminal, which included the arena and the RJP. 2.4-2.6k for 3 floors is better than maybe 6k for 8 if you're trying to break even with the CE you spend, even if the gains in the mission were brought down. That being said, it also depends on what kind of Tier 2 comes up with the RJP. Before this week's RJP there was one with an arena right before and right after the terminal, which bumped the gains to about 7k a run if you wanted to wait.
What I'm saying is you shouldn't be getting as much Crown for doing the RJP mission compared to doing it through Arcade, specifically because you're only doing the 3 Palace floors. No Arenas, no crap floors beforehand, just the RJP. If you got the regular Arcade amount then it would easily make that one mission the best way of safely making crown in this game, at least at the pre-Vanaduke level.
TL;DR version: Yes, you get less for doing the RJP mission, but even with that it's still better than what you get for doing the whole T2 run.

@ Juances
Except RoF also has a much better material distribution that you can sell off.
On top of that, if you're running on a pass, RoF can be done in about 11 minutes in duo, 12~13 mins solo. Even faster the more people you take. RJP takes a little longer than that if you skip the boss, the levels are more convoluted.

@Khamsin
No, it's just I have a terrible internet connection. I play the game with a latency that is at the bounds of what's playable, and devilite levels are not fun when played that way.
Doesn't Rise or Fall award more crowns than the Royal Jelly one...?
