Are T8 Solo Dungeons WORTH IT in 2022?? We Tracked 50 Tier 8 Scrolls - Albion Online

[@tonyharney]

Thanks for the amount of time and effort you put into doing this type of analysis. Not only did you do it, but you did it correctly. You weighed all the profits and losses for total silver gained, and not just click bait bad information of pure profit only. Keep it up!

Great video again and thank you for collecting, researching and gathering datas on how to make better progress especially for a solo player! Thank you again for the extra tips and tricks. This will help me get rid of great amount of stress and fear factor from the players who are always wanna bully solo players who only wants progress in their game. Thank you sir!

@@ProfessorScythe may I ask sir one thing, after you've finished a solo map dungeon, do you always choose to journeyback ability?

[@ProfessorScythe]

@@miguelpasion3119 I would only use it if 1. I am carrying 800k - 1mil or more worth of loot to just not risk the run back 2. If I see a ton of Red pvp blobs on the map or alot of action going on in the map I use it to be safe Other than that I run back.

[@faervan4513]

Nice Video. I did a few T8 dungeons recently and used a 1h nature, druid robe, cultist cowl, mercenary shoes, thetford cape and a cryptcandle. My set was worth 500k, but I also had a swapset, with cleric cowl, assassin jacket, invis potion and a shield, use this when u enter the dungeon and if no one enters, just take the normal clear build and rock the party; else just go invis until u get the bubble (R -> F -> D or 1 if needed) and just run away. Until now it worked for me, I did like 10 dungeons and died 0 times.

[@ProfessorScythe]

This is actually really a high IQ play! Use those invisibilities and heals to wait out the timer even long and bring an extra set for switching! Thank you for sharing this! I hope you enjoyed the video! 😁

Hello. I'm a returning player to albion and was very confused with all the changes, found your channel a couple of hours ago. Your videos on t7 solo dungeons and gear fear were very informative and helped me in setting up a mindset. Subscribed instantly. The thing is I don't have premium, will it impact my gains? And btw do you have a discord server?

[@ProfessorScythe]

In Albion Online, Premium gives you a 50% bonus to all activities you are preforming. So yes it will effect gains as the tests are done using a premium account and everyone should strive to get premium or farm up the 10m silver to get that premium. If you check in then description of the video there is a discord server link!😎 I am glad you are enjoying the channel! We have many videos to come to build this channel into a beautiful learning center for all players!😁

[@Lutheine]

ProfessorScythe - here's pro tip from me: instead of using logout to timer, use chat - when you enter the zone on chat you can see exact time you entered dungeon, add 1m 30s and memorize it or write it on chat, like [15:01:27] Entered Hidden Caverns I -> /s 0257

[@ProfessorScythe]

This is yet another brilliant way to work with that 90sec for closing a dungeon! I appreciate you sharing this! I hope you enjoyed the video! 😎

[@Lutheine]

Also would you mind trying red zones near Carleon with t7 maps? But since it's safer, try getting 1200 IP build with 5.2 or 6.1 set. It should cost 300-400k but the death risk is very marginal if you don't pickup a fight

as fellow FS citizen, whenever the map pop up on the west side of the portal zone you might as well gave up on it, theres a guild using maphack and third party ESP program there to scan the whole zone dungeon.the miguel and the gank also always stand outside of the portal zone, so ALWAYS! use the journey back if youare a zone away from west sde of FS portal zone.

[@ProfessorScythe]

I appreciate this insight! Now that I think about it, majority of Dungeons that are throwaways happen on that side of the portal for me! Stuff like this is very unfortunate to be in a beautiful game like Albion Online. I hope you enjoyed the video! 😎

[@fatterguy8443]

I am not sure but BW portal southside is full of Dungeon divers, I tell you this purely out of experience I enter a Dungeon and 10 people were there waiting outside and three people entered. BB NO LAILA I think, or it was the WARRIORS all I know is South bad North good for BW portal.

[@tdbeach85]

Did you by chance run these friday saturday or sunday? The reason I am asking is because more people run dungeons those days and the black market cannot keep up with the demand. Ive found that monday through thursday I make a lot more dungeon running then on the weekends.

[@ProfessorScythe]

We have a sprinkle of them done in the week as well as on the weekends. This is an independent variable that we choose to not entertain in the data report for a couple reasons. 1. The average Albion Player does not have loads of time in the work week and therefore plays more on the weekend 2. We can never really predict if the Black Market will or will not have loot available for the Dungeons so we need to give it up to rng 3. Not all loot in the dungeons are given from the Black Market, if this was the case then loot problems could happen due to the sheer volume of loot dropped everywhere in the world from the Black Market I hope this helps to clear some things up. Albion Online has tons of factors that effect the way we play. We have to take into consideration the most important variables and unfortunately ignore some that are more or less out of our control! On that note though, I can see loot drops being better if you have the time to spare on less traffic days. I hope you enjoyed the video! 😎

Randomized dungeons can spawn enchanted as well. Theres really no way to tell if a dungeon is a map or not if you didn't pop it.

[@ProfessorScythe]

This is true! There are only 1 way to know for sure and another way that hints that it can be and the person with their invisible potion is close 1. We know it is enchanted by the colored flies on the outside 2. We can know for sure if someone used a scroll if we go in and see the Mobs are a different Tier than the area A lot of the times dungeon divers outside the city limits will look for enchanted dungeons due to the fact that they can spawn while the person looking to run it is invisible waiting around for them to go away as the Dungeon only shows up when the person who used a scroll gets close I hope you enjoyed the video!😎

[@SchytexGraphics]

Profit = Gains - Expenses/Losses. So the 11.9m were gains, not profit.

[@ProfessorScythe]

Moral of the story is we brought in 11.9m silver and had expenses that take away from the overall profit for this run! We use profit as a general term as you could treat the initial investment as something you will not get back and can ignore it as everything you get from that point on is a gain. I hope you enjoyed the video! 😎

[@neel6617]

To be honest, 3 dungeons an hour (accounting for the duds) is extremely slow, if you have a fast clear build and good IP, you should aim for 5-6 an hour

[@ProfessorScythe]

A faster clear build would be more expensive to run! I did talk about how running higher Tier gear will bring faster clear times but this test was done in a more realistic testing situation for players that do not have a lot of silver to risk and are trying to see if the Highest Tier dungeons are worth squeezing for! I hope you enjoyed the video! 😎

[@ivancastillo4079]

I would think that most people doing T8 maps know what they are doing there for can clear a solo dungeon in under 10 minutes.

[@ProfessorScythe]

@@ivancastillo4079 They could clear them faster if they are willing to risk more for better IP and dps, on that note I will refer back to my comment above. 🥸

[@ivancastillo4079]

@@ProfessorScythe Realistically most players have enough money for a 6.1 set of cheap non artifact items. Especially if they are doing T8 maps. Newbies and broke people aren't doing T8 maps. I mean if they have money to invest in T8 maps you would think they have money for a cheap set? Battle axe or great axe are dirt cheap. Spears are cheap. Honestly I think the biggest thing that slowed you down and wasted time was sitting at the entrance to a dungeon to wait for it to close. Unless you are running an expensive set why bother waiting? You ran 50 dungeons and died from a dive 2 or 3 times. Which means the other 45 times or so you wasted your time waiting. Even if you died 5 more time you still would come out having made money. Also I was hoping to see how much fame you got from all the maps but don't think you got that data.

[@neel6617]

@@ProfessorScythe even a 100k 5.1 fast clear set could get 5 an hour

[@devenlalonde6077]

I've personally done countless research studies on maps and your missing alot of the details with them ive ran stacks of 100 t8 maps for as long as i can remember it is true u can pop a t8 map in a t5 t6 or t7 zone yes but if u track loot from a t8 map poped in a t8 zone over maps poped in a t6 zone its a staggering amount also location of your character when poped means somthing as to do with what dungon spawn locations are in reach And you can manipulate that using peaceable objects canceling out a given spawn point from rotation till the placeble is destroyed meaning once u have done enough dungon maps from one given spot u will notice a pattern and be able to predict where the next map will proc or even cancle out locations on your given spots cycle Making it so maps only proc in your hide our zone

[@ProfessorScythe]

I greatly appreciate you sharing this knowledge about the solo dungeons you have ran! The trick that you are stating could be molded for more advanced guides when it comes to running solo dungeons in the open world as this guide was an easy way to run 50 in a manner that the majority of the player base would be running solo dungeons as most are not part of big guilds or guilds with hideouts for the convivence. I have heard some details of what you are getting on and we could test running them in their respective zones in the far future as well as dictate patterns. Thank you again for sharing this and I hope you enjoyed the video!😎

[@Boogiiie]

do you know how much more fame a t8 dungeon gives you vs t7?

[@ProfessorScythe]

We did not track that information, but if you are specifically trying to fame farm I recommend doing it in the open world with Mobs there since they have more fame given.

[@amadorsanchez1299]

If a mob drops around 250 silver or so and 2500 fame (could be more or less depending on tier) I’d say it’s not a bad estimation to x10 the silver dropped by mobs

[@Lutheine]

Tiers of maps get the following bonus of: Tx.0 gets 16% Tx.1 gets 36% Tx.2 gets 58% t8 is equal to t7.1, so you're getting 136% instead of 116% which is 136/116 = 1.17 => t8 yields 17% more fame compared to t7

[@bidas6954]

I never understand people who use budget 100k builds for pve and still waiting 90sec...u just should do your dung as fast as possible after 90sec u should be already half ending this dung and if anyone enter he should just run your empty dungeon and because he is not useing his boots speed which he save for contact, you should already end this dungeon and exit before him

[@ProfessorScythe]

The thing that you need to keep in mind is a “budget” build to some people may be a significant amount capital for their account! Most individuals asking if they should run Dungeon scrolls is due to them searching for silver making methods because they do not have alot to begin with! We would have been in the hole 700k if we just “ran the dungeon” because every time we get dove we would get jumped by mobs of people that are diving dungeons 99% of the time! This video is built for the average beginning player that needs to make silver in a “safer” fashion. This is why we do not risk a-lot of silver for the sake of the video and data! I hope you enjoyed the video!😎😎😎

[@reidcato6700]

Do these results still hold after the recent patch?

[@viralm06]

Can you make a guide on HCEs ... Some people are saying that they get like 1.5 to 1.8 mil silver per hour doing HCEs

[@ProfessorScythe]

First off, I do not believe that from whoever is saying it... they are most likely writing it off "As a group" they are making 1.5 to 1.8m an hour but no way is each separate person making that amount of silver because then everyone would be running those and I wouldn't hear the end of it. On top of this, I would need to get a solid group together to run tests like these and even then it would take a very long time to consistently get that kind of data! In the future though we can do some tests like this but the profit could get weird as it is a 5 way split rng drop mechanic.

[@viralm06]

@@ProfessorScythe gotcha

[@chainjail924]

HCE is the best and safest way to get silver, u see theres map level 1-18. and level 9 alone gives you 230k silver per run. my friend told me that he ran level 14 and he got 550k per run. and yes, with proper knowledge and highest IP as much as u can get. you can finish any map under 20minutes. but i dont do HCE since i found it boring. but i understand why most high fame players do HCEs with high level maps.

Open World Farming and Roaming is amazing when combined with gathering Yellow zones are good but Red/BZ pay very well!😎 I personally love the roads but this is due to the fact that I am running solo a lot of the time and since the addition of content to the outlands it has pulled a lot of population from there making it easier for solo players out on the roads.
