Whats the point of Zakummmingg?

Hey guys...
SO what's exactly the point of Zakking, it drops shiiiiz! Renegade Coins? What are they useful for... I've done zak like 6 times now, and have gotten nothing of value... WTH!
This used to be a major way of funding your self not too long ago =/

@Masterobert: I only do the ranked.

Tbh lvl 100 charm is far into the future for me, lol. Just working on 30 right now for the pocket slot.
That reminds me, though, your guide [i]did[/i] teach me one thing. I didn't realize you got emotes from charm levels 30+. Kind of actually looking forward to that.

@TheTot: Haha, alright thanks! Good luck with getting level 100 Charm. I'm at level 75+ (saving the Emblems at the moment). If you do not know this already, do not do the normal or hard mode three times. This will block you from doing unlimited ranked Dojo runs.

On 2x, I gave my level 110 friend 10 levels of Zakum leeching.

@Masterobert: Indeed. I started farming charm a little over a week ago, just doing random dojo runs when I was bored or in between other affairs, since it is so easy to access from the mirror. I didn't learn it from your guide, but I do very much admire your guide and wish I had it a while back. It's a very nice one, keep it up.

@TheTot: Do people like you already know this information? I thought nobody found out / knew about this. Seems like you do, could have not explained it any better.

[quote=sakiish]This never used to be a way to fund yourself, unless you're talking about selling zhelms which was only good before BB.

I do it for the exp and if I need a skillbook[/quote]

@TheTot: Ahh I see. It is slower, but the fact that it's free (and could possibly land you a good belt) is advantageous. I can't spend much time with doing dojo all day, but thanks for the input

@PinkHolograms That's true, I suppose zak is only superior if you have the proper money/class/whatever to kill it fast enough

[quote=Dominion]@TheTot: How much charm do you get in dojo? I clear it in over 10 minutes, which is about 5 zak runs between waiting for cooldown. Which is 750 charm.[/quote]

Well it obviously depends on how funded you are, right? Not taking sides or anything

@Dominion: Don't clear it. Get to the fifth boss (or tenth - I do the tenth because I can kill bosses 6-10 as fast as 1-5, so it's really no point quitting at 5), pick up emblems, quit. Rinse, repeat. 1-5 should take you about sixty seconds, and repeating this process 5 times gives you enough for 100 Charm belt. So 100 charm per 5 minutes without spending a single meso. That's more by what I meant by efficient.

Being able to solo Zak as fast as you can is not something the average Mapler can do. The average Mapler /can/ do dojo 1-5 in sixty seconds. The average Mapler also doesn't have the mesos to dump into buying EoFs.

@Dominion Dojo is way more efficient. Just sayin'.

@Masterobert: So if 1000 charm = 50 minutes, 5000 charm would take over 4 hours. I wouldn't worry about maxing charm (or most traits in general) if I didn't have the mesos to spend for them.

I do Zak to show off my nub damage.

@Dominion: Can you get 100 Charm EXP every 5 minutes without spending a single meso? Those EoFs take a lot of work / mesos to buy.

It is the fastest, because if you can kill it fast and have drop multipliers, you can get 3 helms in a few minutes. 150 charm for one eye of fire is very reasonable.

Zhelm charm, a crazy ton of pots (Elixirs, P. Elixirs, Dew...) mastery books for your friends. And it's fun

I knew dojo was the best way to get charm, but there's no limit to ranked mode? I thought we could only do three a day? O_O

Zhelms charm ambition skillbooks exp

But mostly I go there cuz I'm bored
Zak is an easily soloable boss, even for the unfunded.
