Sadly, I didn't unlock the King of Ashes mission in time to earn enough money for the recipes I want…and I got extremely pissed off when I found out that the KoA profit got destroyed. But since it balances the CE/cr economy, I'm not gonna rage about it anymore.
So, which mission gives the most profit for your energy now? King of Ashes is laughable.
RoF wasn't affected, at least by the patch of yesterday. Not sure about the patch that fixed troika. And I had assumed the same applied for the other mid range mission arenas.
King of Ashes still gives around 6k, +1k per Token if you're selling the Ancient Plate items. I think it's still the most profitable.
Actually, I think "Rise or Fall" got a Crown Nerf. I've been doing that Mission Non-Stop for the Whole Week & always got Between 27-3300Cr. Now, all I get is 26-2700Cr. Not sure if it's Bad Luck, though.
I've always been getting them around that range iron, occasionally into the 3k's. But there was a whole thread of discussion with people saying that individual lichens give more overall.
But again, it could have been changed. But not the 1,000 drop that Soinderg said.
KoA easily gives over 7k. It is inline with what arcades fsc was, so I don't see the point of a rage, for any reason. KoA laughable amounts of cr? Please.
@Ironskullkid: I dunno, my Crown payout range from Rise or Fall has been 2700-3300 before the patch.
Rise or Fall definitely got nerfed. I get on average 2.5k as opposed to 3.1k cr.
It's laughable because of the work it takes to get there. Last week I played my ass off (and spent some CE reviving) trying to unlock the King of Ashes mission. The only mission I couldn't complete was The Gauntlet because I don't have that much experience with fiends. If I knew they were going to make the King of Ashes payout in line (not even a little more than) with Arcade's FSC, I would have used my energy farming Arcade's FSC instead.
Personally, I think they should nerf the crown and heat you get from missions even more to make offset the fact that you instantly warp to those levels over the arcade.
So was arcades fsc easier because it gave the same payout? Was it easier dealing with extra T3 mobs just to reach fsc?
Fiends are fiends. If you want a nerf petition, suggestion forums.
The payout was broken. You could be invited, no need to unlock. Are you going to say that the payout was in compensation for the previous floors? Gauntlet pays for itself. All the arenas and boss missions paid for itself. And once you do unlock it, you have it open permanently. You can't claim that each KoA run is compensation for doing all the previous floors again. They were done at even or profit. None of those floors had a really low payout, not enough to put you in the red.
If you revive, that's your choice. This entire game can be done without revives.
I think OCH's payout was also affected. Only got 4.2k in a full party run. Used to get between 5.6-6.2k.
This doesn't make sense really if you compare OCH 4k and KOA 7k . Why would the expansion mission that you need to unlock through real money purchase or through steam trade with ce have a lower payout than KOA. A free unlockable mission? OCH is also longer and harder than KOA and only exclusive to those with access. WTH.
I hope they change this soon.

I know it was my choice - and I'm not asking for a fiend nerf.
I raged because I was disappointed at both OOO for nerfing the cr payout and myself for being stupid enough to get excited and play any of the missions. I'm not asking for a change - I just want to find out what the most profitable mission is now - and I don't think KoA is profitable anymore because it takes more energy and time than other missions for only 7k cr.
and I don't think KoA is profitable anymore because it takes more energy and time than other missions for only 7k cr.
I'm going to assume you're joking. Before missions arrived, that's how much the Firestorm Citadel paid and CE prices were where they are right now. This was when you had to go through the entire stratum instead of jumping straight to Depth 24 - and even then, it was the most profitable run. And now it's not profitable because it's not hemorrhaging an absurd amount of crowns? Go sit down.
Well, let's see. A rjp run nets 3k, including boss. 3 floors for 3k. 1k per floor. So, 10k cr per 100ce.
A fsc run nets 7k, including boss. 5 floors for 7k. Holy mother of god it is over 1k per floor. 14k cr per 100ce.
Absurdly large payout, large enough to be broken, does not set the standard. What do you think the fsc grinding people were grinding before missions came out? 20k per run?
Like Replicant said, sit down, son.
Actually RJP got buffed. I get an average of 2600 cr for the first two depths, when I used to average 2000 cr pre-patch.
Assuming you're not doing the boss (which would be stupid since it's less profitable):
=> 2600 cr for 20 Mist x 5 => 13000/100 mist.
RJP level takes less time to complete than FSC, it's easily accessible and doable by everyone, even in 2*.
Enjoy.
I can deffinetly tell you that Rise and Fall got nerfed, but only by about 500-600 crwns.
I also agree that it does seem that Royal Jelly Palace did get buffed a bit. I think the most profitable run for players under 5 stars to do now are the first two levels of RJP... its the most payout for the least effort and ce in my opinion
Even if those missions weren't nerfed KoA would still be #1. Everyone is ignoring tokens which are quite profitable. There aren't a lot of places where you can do back to back levels paying out ~3kcr.
Those 3-4x seals are worth 1kcr each, so 3-4kcr. 50ce for 8kcr + 3kcr in tokens = 12/5 = 2.4kcr/10ce
At best most other missions give closer to 1.3kcr/10ce
the one where you have to fight Boswic i heard was pretty profitable....
It is, still, King of Ashes.
Rise or Fall, Vicious and Viscous, Spark and Roar, and other missions ending with an arena all give roughly 1,000cr less post-patch.
