My personal math gives similar results excluding forges, which leveling characters to level 40 takes way too long for that to work unless you have 8 computers+copies of the game, which I do not.

With 1 or 2 accounts, it's definitely not worth it to do forges since it takes 3-4 hours to level to 40 even with an enchanter. The setup to do the rushes fast also takes time to set up and that's not accounted for.



Forges are best done by crushing and doing a4q2 in lod.

I would also like to point out that cows is faster than Chaos (or seals only chaos, they call it a "driveby"), but Chaos will also generate many other items in the process besides runes.

I also don't have a character that does trav fast enough at this time. That's another thing to think about if you plan to do travs: The games have to be fast. 40 seconds per run is hard when you spend half of that at a loading screen.


Just do Classic rushes.. no need to do the levelz

You still need a rusher and I don't have a single classic character. Most people don't.

Sweet, so basically, somewhere between 500 - 700 chaos runs is the tipping point where you are more likely to find a HR than not in terms of Chaos Sanctuary.

You should try to determine the average clear time for a chaos run in which you kill all mobs. Then express these numbers as a function of time as well.

Then you should take an average minimum wage and express the value of a HR drop in real-money value of time.

I do this kind of math often and it usually leads to me quitting games tbh.


Bruh, you can't compare a game to a job. I know folks on these forums that made $700k last year and still hustle on these boards and in game farming cows for hours.

7min clear times are awfully slow.

im assuming this in 1person chaos for this math

solo chaos runs, if grinding HR's, should take like 3mins.



I can clear cs on an ik barb in around 4-5 mins so yea 7 is too high even for one of the worst builds.

Very nice analysis. Think you could expand it with variations for player count?
