I believe we can’t just take this question into “gold per week”.
Each player has their own way and method of playing, some have more time, others less time, if you play with a group of people or if you play alone. All this must be considered!
In my case, I’m a solo player, I don’t have time to find and teaching ppl for Valtan/Vykas, so for me it worked very well to leave my main 1475 and take all my 5 alts to 1400 (easy oreha HM and Argos up to P3)
This way i save gold (engravings and accessories) and materials for my main
I believe that if you have enough time to play or if you play with a group of people to exchange valtan/vykas bus the best thing to do is to put all your alts 1415.
Man y’all are wild and play way more than most of us. Bring your alts to 1400 and main to 1505. At that point get ur legendary books and gems to lvl 8 or quit until new content. Doing Valtan NM 5x a week sounds terrible to me personally unless you have a static. Argos and Oreha is already to time consuming on top of all the other maintenance. But bringing alts to 1460? Like what? Why….
Valtan and Vykas make more fun then Argos for me so i would like to have 5 alts at 1430 or 1445 just to have more fun in week but i dont had the time to play earlier more alts so they go very slow up.
Dont know i have my guild they all have plenty 1415 alts or 1430. Only sometimes i need to go to a group without them but i play Pala and Bard as Alts so its Kinda easy to get in groups xD
Valtan is fun. For me and a raid, its a nice balance of decent mechanics, visuals, and length of time.
Vykas is just outright long and annoying and I really dont find the raid fun at all. I dread vykas raid nights every week because I know it has the potential to be stuuuupidly long if people are having an off night (myself included). Factor in HM, sigh. I hate vykas but I need 28 more freakin wings.
1505 is the recommended non-swiping level since its +21 across. It costs 3 times as much to go from +21 to +22 as it did getting +21. +21 also gains 15 free ilvls when you upgrade to the artifact gear (it goes to 1520/+13) vs +22 (1520) only gaining 10 free ilvls (goes to 1530/+14). However it DOES mean you will not be able to to run Gates 5 and 6 Bralshaza as both of those require 1520 level. You will only be able to get 1 artifact piece on the week if you only do Gates 1-4. Adding Gates 5 and 6 would let you afford a 2nd Artifact piece that week.
Kuku is end of september. Bralshaza is estimated to be around early-mid December (roughly 2-2.5mo) basing on other servers release.
By no means we know for sure. Could just as easily come in the Oct patch or be pushed back into Janruary/Feb. I more expect it to be pushed into Jan since it seems that it will line up with a class launch which following the 2mo schedule, its September, November then January so a Early Jan launch of Bralshaza could be a thing.
comes down to do you want to do a 15 minute dungeon for 1200 easy gold, or possibly spend 10 hours on each character trying to find a proper PUG or party finder group capable of downing valtan over and over 5 times. personally the latter sounds like absolute hell just for a bit of extra gold. id pay that gold not to have to endure that torture
1475 for clown is the bare minimum, keep in mind that clown is a harder boss than Vykass, and it’s done in 4 man party, so the individual skill matters more. According to KR streamers they stated that going overgear (like 1490) it’s the way. If you have a support character, 1475 is okish… but as a dps you will probably not get invited in any parties.
Either push to 1490 or maybe 1472,5 (so you can still get argos gold when clown comes).
Alts 1415 is ok ish (argos and valtan only), either I stick them around 1400-1412 (gold from argos and ohera). Havent bother checking but think oreha x 2 + argos is about the same as valtan and argos.
1430 argos, vykas and valtan (myself end up pushing them to 1445 for relic set )
You DEF want to buy at least the last chest from Valtan. Its not just for the extra relic piece or materials but fusion leaps have a pretty decent value as well for essentially free hones. And those extra relic pieces can still be put to use even after getting all the pieces you need for the alt since they can be used to get the stones. The end chests value is far more worth then the flat gold.
If you have any event books and such that will eventually time out perhaps use them up on an alt to bring it up to 1400.
But by and large I’d just chill and stockpile resources, use your bound materials each character gets to slowly let them climb. I’d leave your alts below 1415 if you are concerned with Valtan pugging, since that way you can clear Argos without needing a bus and still get gold from Oreha.
Pushing your main you could do that slowly as well see how many free hones you hit each week and if you start getting a couple maybe do a final push for clown then.
