View Full Version : 1-hitting the boss after level 100 - when to stop?

Have a Level 88 account, about 165K experience points, so that's tier 4 as far as boss difficulty level. I passed boss # 100 on one hit, which means I can keep one-hitting him for the next 24 hours every minute or two if I want. Do I keep hitting and picking up these prizes (even the weakest weapon is 607/910) but pick up 102 experience point every time I call and hit her and thus get that much closer to reaching level 101 and entering the much harder tier 5, or stop at some point? Wanna stay at tier 4 as long as possible, but these prizes obtainable every minute or 2 are pretty nice to fill up the inventory. Thoughts?

I think the point of staying low level is to take advantage of situations like this. If you can one hit the boss at any level, I would keep hitting it until the event ends. It's like the raid boss but free.

That's my thinking, but i also wanna preserve tier 4 in case they reprogram boss health back to the higher numbers as they had for the last 100 boss event, at which point my 2.2 million raw is peanuts.

What monte said. But keep in mind next boss will prolly give 2-3 times better loot at lvl 100 bosses. You'll gain stats for now, but in the future that gained stats will be less and less helpful due to stat inflation. I'm camping this boss out now when cos I've already gotten the Fowl gun. Wanna keep under L50 till next epic boss if possible.

That's exactly the dilemma - max out now and fill up and replace my weakest inventory with a rare situation where I can keep hitting and getting another hundred items at an average of about 1,500/1,500 or better, boosted, without any need to regen health, or leave maximum leveling/exp. points remaining under the assumption that next months raid boss will give even better prizes. But I can't imagine they will leave these boss events with same weak health. Tier 4 boss 100 was about 2 million health this time. That's about what it was for tier 4, level 50 a couple of months ago, before they changed it when they went to the 100 boss format.

The farther you go (higher level you are), the more it is worth it... My L33 with 801k Atk has been 'trying' to maintain 25k Atk / Lvl. The prizes may not pay that out currently, but the more levels I gain, the more xp is required to reach the next level.
I figure that the loot payout averages somewhere around 1250 Atk per kill. The L100 boss gives out 110(?) xp.

1130 xp to go from L33 to L34 = 10 bosses x 1250atk = 12500 Atk/Lvl
1455 xp to go from L39 to L40 = 13 bosses x 1250atk = 16250 Atk/Lvl
4555 xp to go from L88 to L89 = 41 bossses x 1250atk = 51250 Atk/Lvl = Kill as many as possible.

Same dilemma here...regardless I've been farming the crap out of my boss. I just went up 100k in stats in the last 2 hours.

If you are able to 1-hit tier 3 or above, then you must camp as many as possible due to the high atk/lvl ratio opportunity. If you're in tier 1-2, I would consider holding off till next event.

in case you haven't noticed farming the boss isn't working out too well, they mostly give the lowest possible prize. the drop rate on the super rare items is an absolute joke for the experience gained. I gave up when I noticed all I was getting was the 700att 700def items

I agree with this. Tier 2. Since I hit boss 76 (when I think the loot turned over to epic) I think I've only gotten one uncommon. All the rest were commons. And that is over two similar accounts. Drop rate for anything but common seems to be incredibly low. So if you're doing the math like above I'd adjust it much lower than 1250 average. I'd make it 1000 at the most. Maybe even 900. Then figure out your ROI.

Drop rate was much better yesterday and the day before. At least it feels that way.

If your mini is in a syndicate who's going to do well with the raid boss, and you're mini is going to be in there, don't forget to factor in the xp you'll gain with those prizes. My mini is L50 now, and I figure the raid boss will push me to the 3rd tier anyway, so I might as well get as may epic bosses as my limited attention span will allow me to get. My mini is a free game, so this is a no-brainer for me :) Its taking one free hit to kill a L100 boss. At this rate, I'll be able to upgrade my nightclub with my boss proceeds!

there is no answer, people had started camping account for boss events only like over a year ago, I'm pretty sure their effects is in vain by now.

Ultimately you'll find your newly built account at level to high to gain any advantage expect IPH, and you'll probably think about starting another new account again

Didn't got a single Legendary just a couple super rare. Heard GREE is taking all extra loot items farmed from boss pass lvl100? Same script as Ixtab? Randomly taking items in your inventory? Or it will take only the extra earned over lvl100?

That would be an incredibly bad idea if they did it. People spend time farming items and racking up huge xp per boss. I'm sure there's gold spending too. As this happens they sit on their butts for a week, no announcements no nothing. Then suddenly they take items away at random? How would they compensate people for xp/gold/time? This would be by far the most infuriating thing they could do, and it's a crowded field.

Its a rampant rumors among certain rings of player. Some have the right to be afraid and potentially upset about this , and this is why I bring the matter on the forums to hears from a dev if its true or just rumors.
