Ghent vs. Tunnel/Memories vs. Black Shrine: Which One to Farm?

• With the Dark Dimension: Signs of a Rift update:
• Legendary and epics dungeon difficulty decreased.
• Epic drops is now available to Ghent Palace, Land of Memories, Bottomless Tunnel, Basement of Pain, and Black Shrine.
• Specific changes can be found in this Neople Official Page
• So as a new, return, or veteran player, which one should you farm?
• Here's the result of 1,000 dungeon runs.

Procedure

• The author had ran out of NeoPremium, with 156 fp plus pot, the author ran 20 runs on each character in Ghent and Black Shrine for easy calculation. 
• Repair cost was not included for the sake of consistency.

• Gabriel Shop
• The author only bought items that are valuable for this analysis such as  
•    were not bought due to their minimal affect on this calculation.
• No Purple Card Flip
• The author started doing no card flip midway through the analysis, so keep it that way for consistency.
• Realistically would be better if this card flip is included.

Terminology

• Total Raw Gold - sum of  from dungeon drops, card flips, selling white/blue/purple drops, and tradeable items such as  , excluding card drops.
• Time's Guide Stone Gold - Theoretical cost of  in term of character progression.
• One Free Hell - One Hell run after about 18 dungeon runs. It's the theoretical cost of 18  in term of character progression.
• Total Progression Gold - The sum of all theoretical and raw golds (i.e. Total Raw Gold + Time's Guide Stone Gold + One Free Hell)

The Data

Discussion

• Ghent Palace
• The  from dungeon and selling drops is okay, but combine with trading  for weapon then resell made up for the total raw gold. Refer to this previous Ghent analysis for more details.
• Does not drop anything valuable beside chance of epics (i.e. no  )
• Land of Memories/Bottomless Tunnel
• Worse raw gold out of the three.
• Can argue that the analysis is only 10 runs vs. 20 runs like the others. But when you theoretically double up the number, it's still the worst.
• Does not drop anything valuable beside chance of epics and  (i.e. no  ). The  from the data is bought from Gabriel.
• Only worth running for chance of epics and  for your weekly card box  and gearing up with legendary gear.
• Black Shrine
• Best raw gold.
• Can drop epics  and , which are your main source of tradable income.
• Can also drop great monster cards such as Ash Rosenberg , Medium Airag , Kazan-possessed Rosenberg .
• Downside is will need at least full legendary set with a mix of some epics to clear comfortably. 
• In Term of Raw Gold
• Black Shrine ➤ Ghent Palace ➤ Land of Memories/Bottomless Tunnel (20 runs).
• In Term of Total Progression
• Black Shrine ➤ Ghent Palace ﹦Land of Memories/Bottomless Tunnel (20 runs)
• When doubling up the number and include One Free Hell, Ghent Palace and Land of Memories/Bottomless Tunnel are not far apart.

Recommendation

• New/returning players with no gears
• Farm Ghent Palace.
• Expert mode is still easy to do with Unique Gears.
• Raw gold is still not worth if this your main farming place.
• Best to farm other dungeons first (e.g. Anton, 2+2, Dawning Crevice, Assault Mode) then use the rest of FP for Ghent Palace.
• Tayberr Graduate
• Farm Land of Memories/Bottomless Tunnel 5+5 runs for  to gear yourself up.
• Do other dailies (e.g. Anton, 2+2, Dawning Crevice, Assault Mode) then then use the rest of FP for Ghent Palace.
• Prey/Fiend War Graduate/Legendary with mix epics
• Straight farming Black Shrine after doing your 2+2.

TL;DR

Black Shrine best place

Now the Only Place Worth Comparing to is Stormy Route

But that's a Post for Another Day
