Let’s define “few”
Someone is projecting 500 battles per hour with Dust/3Hawk teams.
Previous estimates put Phoenicia battles at 240/hr.
Given the rough rates of VK (gnome/12) and EVK (vault key/10), and using the data from @Dust_Angel 's post here Vault Weekend data collection - #138 by Dust_Angel
We get the following breakdown (some items omitted), per gnome (directly from gnome, and from 1/12 vault key from that gnome, including vault key from vault key etc.):
Note: Epic Vault Key loot is not included
- 1.5 diamonds
- 0.5 event keys
- 0.5 gem keys
- 3 gems
- 4400 gold
- 62 souls
- 0.04 major orbs
At a difference of 260 battles/hour, this is what an E5-E8 Phoenicia explorer is missing out on:
- 32 diamonds
- 8 event keys
- 10 gem keys
- 63 gems
- 95,000 gold
- 1336 souls
- 0.9 major orbs
- 2.3 minor orbs
Is the E5-E8 Phoenicia rate/hour of 300K-400K gold worth the full list above?
Not for me.
