Roschest Outskirts vs. Stormy Route, How Do They Compare?

• With the release of Black Purgatory, Roschest Outskirts has been in the hotspot of the best place to farm. What were dropped? How much gold can you get?
• Here I clear the dungeon 400 times to see how it's compared to Stormy Route. 

Procedure & Data

• Roschest is tricky, instead of taking a fixed 8 FP per run like other level 100 dungeon, it takes 1 FP per room. On top of that, the FP required to clear Roschest depends on the mini-boss at room 4. You can follow this Black Purgatory Daily Dungeons Simply Explained for the optimal route of farming. In a nutshell, it can take anywhere from 9~11 FP to clear the dungeon.
• Therefore, to be consistent, I decided to do full clear (12 FP). Below is the data for what I got with Neo-Premium without repair cost (each character represents 20 runs at Normal Mode).

• And here's the data from previous Stormy Route runs from my previous post Stormy Route: Sirocco "Nerf" Debunked. Same procedure, 20 runs, sell all drop, not include repair cost, etc. Jackpot means you encounter the demon dog thingy that drop a bunch of Time's Guide Stones.

Discussion

• In term of raw gold: I used market price 25,999 for  and 5,900 for 
• Raw gold means what I got by selling all the drops and selling   in the auction hall.
• For Stormy Route, you average 1,048,788 gold per 20 runs (aka 6,555 gold per FP)
• For Roschest, you average 1,600,821 gold per 20 runs (aka 6,670 gold per FP)
• Note that this Roschest average is based on full run of 12 FP, and you earn about 1.75% more gold than Stormy Route, so if you follow the optimal route through the algorithm, I'm sure you can make even more.
• In term of progression:
• For Stormy Route, you average 61  per 20 runs (aka 0.38  per FP)
• For Roschest, you average 27  per 20 runs (aka 0.11  per FP)
• So, if you want more hell mat to run Guide of Wisdom, Stormy Route is probably better place to farm. In return, you only earn just a little bit less gold.

Final Impression

• Roschest Outskirts:
• Pros:
• Drops tradable materials like  which can easily funneled into another character. You will make more gold than Stormy Route if you sell these in the auction hall.
• Drops a lot more  than stormy route, which is one of the main complain from lots of players.
• Drops Black Purgatory materials so you can roll your luck.
• Drops epic if you're lucky.
• Cons:
• Requires a lot more gear to farm effectively. My full Aeterna Berserker can farm Stormy easily. But when I bring him to Roschest, oh man, it wasn't good.
• Stormy Route:
• Pros:
• Drops more hell mats for Guide of Wisdom.
• Drops a bit more gold, but you will end up making less if you sell all the Aiolites and Time Crystals from Roschest.
• Doesn't require as much gear to clear.
• Cons:
• Those hell mats are untradable, so hard to funnel to another alt.
• Doesn't drop as much , which pretty needed for everything in level 100. With Ozma raid on the horizon, you're gonna need even more.
• Doesn't drop epic.

Which One I Farm

• Neither, I don't farm 1 dungeon mindlessly with 1 character. I do my daily on multiple alts. Think about it, doing daily 4s on 5 alts is the same as doing 20 runs with 1 alt. Plus I get to enjoying playing variety of characters. So, pick your poison bois.
