December 14, 201114 yr which is better exp/effigy per hour? Supposdely polypore but I also hear/read that it's not consistent. Got a link to setup/method for both? ty not really worried about gp loss but is polypore still profit/breakeven? I am not a skiller, but i do some skills.
December 15, 201114 yr Polypore is much better than crawlers, just like tds and glacors are much better, because the massive cost of crawlers (2m/hr) isn't worth the faster effigies unless you want to burn your cash (don't care about bank value & you have more than enough money to buy everything else you ever want). It's still profitable, with cannon + polypore staff it should be 1.5 hours per effigy or so.

December 15, 201114 yr To answer your profitability question, using poly staff you pay ~90gp/charge (30gp/fire rune, assuming you will collect spores) and use about 8-900/hour (81k, obviously more if you are buying spores). Now, flakes (as of yesterday, and bear in mind that the prices have been heavily fluctuating) are valued at ~650 (do not take mid as an indication of true price), and you can easily receive ~1k/hour. Stick drops, of which you get 1-2/hour are worth ~300k ea (although, this again, has been fluctuating - mainly down). These along, will throw you well into profit, and any further drops of value (mainly referring to high level seeds) improve this dramatically. Torstol, yew, magic, papaya and palm seeds are all drops that are worth a chunk and further improve profit.

It's still profitable, with cannon + polypore staff it should be 1.5 hours per effigy or so. It's about 65 minutes per effigy, not 90. With SoA it'd almost certainly be under an hour, and I could easily believe it'd be faster effigies than crawlers.
December 15, 201114 yr With SoA and a cannon I got 62 minutes per effigy. but maybe I didn't cast as many spells as I could have, and I only used 2.9k cannonballs (i only tested for 1 hour). Done perfectly, I don't really see the rate being below around 55mins/effigy. For comparison with Soa and no cannon I am sure the rate is very close to 70minutes per effigy.
