I’ve actually done that once this league. It took longer to hit 99-100 than normally doing maps with good sextants tbh.
Here is basically why:
1. Have to set up buy orders and adamantly snipe +1 watch stones that are short in supply for a week or two. (60 ex in stones)
2. Realistically preroll all the required sextants for maps it’s beyond portals sextant +shrine +30% pack + 12%/6pack mons (took me 7.5k+ awakened sextants)
3. Buy 100+ canyons and roll all of them 28%+ pack size with beyond (50 ex investment).
4. Calculate time it takes to roll sextant (6 hours to roll and sort/ not to mention it took 5 days to get all the sextants (beyond was 1/80 average for me). Time it takes to roll maps 2 hours, ended up rolling 300+ Canyons.
5. Also snipe prophecies (I spent 5 days to snipe 5 quad tabs, got lucky and bought 2 quad tabs from one guy at once)
6. Also snipe scarabs since no one bulk sells them (roughly a week)
Investment - 160+ ex
Gains - 6 exa drops
Normal mapping from 99-100:
Every 24sets I do with beyond (5c), 4 sextants (25-30c), and 25%+ pack size gives me 9%. Takes me normally 35-40 mins per set. I actually do loot from these maps.
Let’s say each map rolled is 15c (map. Chisels, vaal) = 45 + 30 + 15 = 90/3 = 30 c per map.
On average it’ll take me 440-500 minutes of map time for 99-100. Factor in rolling time of 2 hours, tab clean up time or 1 hours, provided I already had sextants and props (no scarabs). It’s a 10 hour grind that can be split up into three work days.
