Wolf spiders dropping ilbis recently

Hey guys, do wolf spiders still drop ilbis? I want to farm some for my Night Walker since they're so expensive in the fm but I don't know if they still drop. Any recent experiences would be appreciated!

I can actually say that I do bosses (regarding zakum and C zakum) everyday in Mardia.

On 5 characters, today alone, I earned around 80m.
With that being said, there are certain days I earn maybe 5. His statement isn't very out of line.
And I know this part is just total instigating, but....Check again before you get rekt again. Plz.[/quote]

It's good to see someone coming to my defence every now and then.

To the previous commentors, yes, it's true you shouldn't be expecting a lot of money everytime you do these daily boss runs, as my stated amounts are based on what I get daily on average. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, but for the most part it's pretty close to that amount. You can make a lot of money just from selling the cubes you find as cubing services. I sell to people in my buddy list, guild and the Free Market whenever the opportunity arises and people are always looking for a bargain since the ones dropped are untradeable, so it's a win win situation.

All in all, it's an easy way to make money, but only worthwhile if you have a lot of character slots and characters created to fully take advantage of this method.

[quote=Renkotesu]If you average the amount I stated, which you did, then it's near impossible to get that amount for each boss, but if you take into account certain serviceable items, such as Mastercraft and Meister Cubes, then it's not so far-fetched. In fact, if you pair it with Root Abyss and purchase the Shoe/Glove reward boxes and receive the ones that have the potential rank up effect, then you can turn a profit by using the cubes on those items. It's a feasible money-making method if you're persistent and have little to no competition in this area, because if there's competition, then the amount you make will decrease over time.

As for calling my comment a brag, you need to show a little respect and not jump to conclusions, there are people like myself in this game that actually want to help other players and aren't looking to big up ourselves.[/quote]

[quote=Flamepc]I don't ever recall gaining 7.8m on 2 Normal (or Chaos) Zakum runs from selling drops. At most 2m maybe. If you meant selling Zakum Poisonic weapons, then that's unreliable as that requires more than a single day and regular buyers. (There's also degrading the weapons into liquid crystals for sales, but that detracts from pure boss pots & weapons drop revenue.)
Adding on with HT and RA, I'd probably get 6-7m from a practical daily boss run.

I assume you're basing your answer on your experience, and if so, then 7.8m on 2 Zak runs would have to include drop rate buffs/events/potentials.

Zakum would probably get you like 2m~3m worth of potions after 2 runs. If you RA, HT, Ranmaru and Hilla on top of that, sure you can get like ~10m worth of pots to NPC, but to do those in a time efficient manner, requires some level of funding, not to mention doing it on 32 characters would be pretty absurd.

OT: Dark Birks and Lycanthropes drop it.

Wolf spiders don't drop ilbis anymore. I was hunting them a back in April and only found Hwabis there.
I hunted ilbis at Lycanthropes in El Nath

[quote=ChrisJohnson]I gain 10mil from doing 20 bosses strictly through pots and weapons/armor dropped. It's safe to say it's impossible to gain 7mil per character just through Zakum runs.[/quote]

7mil from 1 run? Not from anything I've ever experienced. You're not being accurate

[quote=Renkotesu] If you bossed with 32 characters at normal Zakum, just the potions and weapons sold to a potion store would add up to that amount. If you include Horntail and Root Abyss, you can probably make an extra 200m.[/quote]

@Renkotesu: The Zakum weapons sell for 1 meso. I'd like to see proof that one run could get you 8mil. Even 7 mil would be good enough (224mil). I just don't see how you could get 7mil from a zakum run. If you could that would be good and I'd do it

[quote=Renkotesu]One of the easiest ways to make money is by doing daily boss runs, Zakum being the primary one you want to kill. If you had a lot of character slots, let's say you maxed out at 32, you could potentially make 250m or more daily just from boss drops.[/quote]

I'm guessing you're referring to the pot drops that is npc'd for a lot of mesos? I do do some boss runs everyday but wouldn't it be tedious going everywhere *32 (as in your example) to kill bosses?

[quote=crazypoorer]I do have some sets of Hwabis but I wanted at least 2 sets of ilbis since they look really cool. I wasn't going to farm ilbis to use as my only stars as Night Walker xD. Also, may I ask what money-making methods you were referring to?[/quote]

[quote=Renkotesu]It's a waste of time and money going for Ilbis, as you can get equal damage for less with Hwabis, with extra you can use in other areas to increase your damage range further. If using them isn't what you had in mind and simply looking to make money by trying to hunt for these, there are far better money-making methods out there with faster results and better payouts.[/quote]

Ilbies are not worth it. Holds less and the same attack as Hwalbis. Just level yourself to 70 with any crappy stars.
