No, but you get more exp per hour because you don't have to wait on people. It just costs more

I will agree with this 100%

yep, i have a friend who plays fine and all, but goes smoke every hour for 5 mins, then trades for half an hour etc. etc.

when i play solo i just spam map after map until i'm bored

also my pc ain't that good (gfx card is fine but processor is very old now already :S i3 with 2x 2.9

Doesn't rushing and chaining maps get boring within 10 minutes?

No, its the only way to make this game fun. I guess thats why you complain about map pool + item drops every league, you just don't play enough/efficiently. Doing 20 maps per hour versus you doing 20 map a week.

Whats the point of making 100+ exa char if you're gunna spend 20 mins per map?

I've run around 12 maps an hour before, fuck going that fast got boring quick, and rippy too. I was just so stressed I couldn't enjoy myself, or even tell one map from another.

And 20? 3 minutes to kill most of everything, sort what loot you take or not, ID the Rares, sell the unwanted, alch the next map, roll it to 100+ quantity? I can't even imagine, you must be leaving half the mobs alive.

Edit: so far I've managed to to 4 minutes map clears with VMS, I leave half the good stuff behind and need to spend a other 3 or 4 minutes coming back for stuff. The fear of leaving stuff behind, the stress of trying to push fast before timer expires without missing chromatic items, 6 sockets, orbs behind, how is all that stress enjoyable? And if I leave that stuff behind to go faster, I run out of currency to alch, roll and chisel maps

99% of my builds use a headhunters. I don't really pick up anything besides currency/maps and necks/rings unless I run out of recipe armors. I usually stock up at the start of league - fill 50 or so tabs worth of armors/boots/weps etc.

Theres zero reason to ID everything, you're better off just crafting and selling big items or just flipping.

I'm at 200+ pure exa and 3 HH this league, the most profitable way is to just sell tier 1 6L's early in the league and continue flipping later on.

i always lose

you're so cool

I'm curious, what's the lowest currency you pickup from maps? Do you bother with chromatic / 6s items? I could stop picking up top 2 bases per armor slots and chaos recipes in theory and see if I still run a profit per map I guess. I'm just trying to pick a balance between running fast but still making a profit overall without needing to flip.

Also, how do you find low base 6l? Do you just mean flipping them?
