  • Ever wonder why everyone tells you to do your daily 2+2 dungeons?
  • Are you curious how much progression you can make with your characters?
  • How about drop rate and how many epics can you expect to drop from these dungeon?
  • This article will show you the result of 250 daily 2+2 runs.
Procedure & Data
  • In case you didn't know, 2+2 means 2 Black Shrine and 2 Basement of Pain dungeon runs. Both have special rewards through card flip at at the end for the first 2 runs. So 250 total 2+2 runs is 1,000 dungeon clears.
  • The procedure was very simple, I ran 2+2 on multiple alts and record their Time Crystal (Material).png Time's Guide Stone.png Aiolite.png Black Crystal.png drops. I didn't record any gold drops or gold from selling equipment. I also bought all from Gabriel and didn't pick any purple special reward cards.
  • In the data below, for the sake of data presentation, each group is a combined result of 25 data points, and each data point is the result of 2 Black Shrine and 2 Basement of Pain runs. For complete information of all data points, you can visit this PDF file.
  • The "Total Raw Gold" is the price of all tradable stuffs (e.g. Time Crystal (Material).pngAiolite.png). Prices used: 48,500 Time Crystal (Material).png and 7,397 Aiolite.png.


Discussion
  • How much progression can you get from doing 2+2?
    • With level 100 cap, progression is quite simple actually. Since you can upgrade level 95 Fiend War and Prey slots in to level 100 epics, you really only need 4 good epic pieces to drop, 5 if you include weapon.
    • Take my Female Spitfire for example, with her 4 drops, I can continue farming 2+2 for Black Crystal.png, then upgrade 3 pieces Mother Nature, 3 pieces Normal Syncho, and then ditto the last piece through Oculus dungeon. As for weapon, you can do pit 456 for RNG weapon pot, or if you really desperate, transfer the weapon if it drop from other alts.
    • Neople has been giving out Black Crystal.png and discount recipes through events, with just a couple months of farming, you can upgrade your equipment easily.
    • Now can this strategy get you into Sirocco Red party? NO. But with optimization, you definitely have a chance for Green party.
  • What's the expected drop rate?
    • As you can see from the data, after 1,000 runs, I got 89 drops. So it's about 9% drop rate.
    • Note that this is a combination of both gold flip and drop from killing the boss though. I can tell you that the drop from killing boss is even lower, I didn't keep track, but I can definitely count it on two hands. So the drop rate probably around 8.5-9%.
    • So if you're lucky, maybe you can get that good 4 pieces and 1 usable weapon. Most of my weapon drops from Top 12 Progression page is from these 2 dungeons.
  • Should you continue to farm 2+2 with characters that already 12/12?
    • Yes, definitely yes, Black Crystal.png can be converted into Wisdom Crystal Fragment.png if you need to transfer that last epic piece.
    • Each epic transfer requires 125 Wisdom Crystal.png, which is 12,500 Wisdom Crystal Fragment.png (aka 12,500 Black Crystal.png). If you're new here, Epic Soul.png is not your bottleneck. Farming 126 Epic Soul.png for a weapon or 168 Epic Soul.png for a equipment is not that hard. It's getting 125 Wisdom Crystal.png is the hard part.
    • Therefore, keep farming these Black Crystal.png so you can eventually funnel to gear up other characters. As a bonus, you get about 2 million gold for every 25 daily 2+2 runs, and that is not including the white drops you can sell to NPC. Gearing up alts, and cash on the side, 2 birds with 1 stone.
