-go check out glitchy's gearing guide ==> here

-as for greatness i fink that catalized amalgams are fine but you'll get a lot of amalgams in bg's anyway so it's a bit useless to waste your gold in catalizers... and apparently there's a new way to get greatness in only 2 astral strats with the thing you break to get dust, but i can't explain more as i didn't try by myself

-to farm gold i think that the best way to do so in 7.0 if you dont have lots of lvlmax reincas is to farm the epic (leg?) astral because each boss = 2k5gold so a strat = 10k, a few of them and you have a pretty decent amount of gold everyday

PS : still wondering if it's more profitable to farm leg/epic strat to get gold or to do tkarik/1st bg win/gb win/or even KOE on as many reincas as possible in a day? if anyone knows (AOP for exemple)

The best and honestly cheapest way to get Greatness is via trading in magic staples. I believe legend ones work and are fairly easy to get in massive numbers via farming Epic S1. With a group of humans, you can actually complete an allod in less time than your astrolabe debuff lasts. Alternatively you can take mercs, which will deplete your gold, or do Epic S1 distortions, which can be annoying depending on which allod you get.

As far as gold farming efficiency goes, I would imagine farming Epic/Legend S1 with a group would give the best return on time investment as well. Every boss drops ~1500-2000g, plus at least two items worth ~160-250g each. The trouble with Tka-Rik and BGs is the amount of dead time spent not earning anything at all, or in many cases praying for luck to favor you with which trial or team you get. If you're actually any good at GB, I'd imagine that would be a fair earner while waiting for a farming group to come together, though. I can't say, I'm utter garbage at GB so I gave up trying so as to save everyone else the losses.

from what i know every amalgam can be used for greatness, although as freestile said it would theoretically be a waste unless you have an ultra tight timeshedule to follow
also keep in mind 7.1 update comes soon which will intruduce net level of gear, it might be a good idea to wait with gearing up until then for the sake of not wasting time & gold (same here, if in a hurry do it now ofc but if not waiting may be worth it)

glitchy's gearing guide was already linked too so your other question should be also answered

@freestile
theoretically doing orange easy astral with a group of 5 other competent rushers would be by far the most efficient way of goldfarming
as we all know however this is seldom the case so it falls back to doing orange distortions, but many players have only purple unlocked because orange would take a ot of time and resourced to unlock so we fall back again to purple distortions
when enterig check the sort of distortion

if its the one with the sorceress to escort reset it, if its the one with the gunners, reset it (they take far too long!), only do the others; the fastest is the landingzone of dane but the field with the cannons and the shipyard are also fine & fast
make a specific build for that case with max determination, and all other PVE things

other way is farming the mobs next to the mine in dane, they are plenty and they respawn like rats, often valuable items drop here (green) plus anniversary coiins and VERY seldom blue goblins (got 2 already)
its a more classic way of farming but a bit less profitable

similar with KOE however in KOE there are no green itemdrops which makes the goldloot small plus mobs are not as crowded as in dane there AND the daily quests take more time than the are worth for veteran-player (for rookies however they are fine!)

as, as listed, the way of using the reincarnations, however as rozetri said, this is dependent on external factors and thus not reliable
tkarik also takes too much time for my taste and provides not enouh gold, since the efficient possibility to reset/skip quests that take too long was patched

@rozetri
taking mercs wont deplete your gold until you dont wait for free mercs, but the problem is that on some allods the bossmechanics make the usage of mercenaries troublesome thus its better to go for solo-distortions as singleplayer

regular bg's could be the best way of gold farming if the majority of the players would see the game as i do (and you too AOP i suppose) that is to say : efficiency > fun (even if playing the most efficient way is fun imo so it wouldn't be a pb)

then with a community like this, we could establish a simple thing :
-you are in blue team = you have a free win
-you are in red team = afk 5min while blue team wins then retag to get another 50% chance of freewin

==> this way gold farm would be super easy, super fast, you would get max reward each time you're in the right team and just afk 5min youtube/facebook when you're in the wrong one; after a win get on another reinca, repeate...
same thing in gb aswell (but then the wrong team could just leave as you can't afk in gb without being auto-kicked after 7 stacks... so better just retag on another reinca imo)

I know this would really radical thing but if you are as pragmatic as i am you'd see it's the best way to play if you want easy/fast/profitable farming.
I'd like more people to think like this (btw all those who say allods is p2w, just be aware that by playing the way i've suggested above it would help a lot of f2p players... but noooo let's kick the afk's in bg -_- guys this isn't becose fighning in bg's is the majority behavior that it is THE way it should work...)

i'd have so many other ideas to make this game more gold-farming friendly but i'm getting angry when i reach the point when i have to talk about the ones that make this impossible so i'll keep it for another time...
anyway i hope some people will find my suggestion interesting

Last I checked, organized throwing of BG matches is actually banned. "Unfair exploitation of gameplay mechanics," I believe. I would generally advise against testing those waters.

Quoted from "freestile"

efficiency > fun (even if playing the most efficient way is fun imo so it wouldn't be a pb)

so we can break it down to efficiency = fun
totally agree here!

while the idea of blue = autowin is theoretically great in reality the resulting increase of exchangerate would nullify this completely over a few days and hence also decrease the overall value of (farmed)gold
this would have to be done in a cartel of a small amount of players in order to be efficient on the long run which would bear the danger of getting suspended as there is the higher instance of game administration
also, even having this kind of cartel could still not solve the problem of players which might do not want to perticipate as suggested

what however could be formed would be an alliance of 6 farm-loving players which organise to repeatedly rush through astralislands, this would require 6 players instead of the whole community and had no problems with "abuse" of gamemechanics
while i have found such players in the whole time i played allds and enjoyed the experience of rushing wth them (level 55 patch, autoastralgroups!) i can safely say that due to the nature of RL it will be hard to find common times to do this (for long) and doing just 1 or 2 runs is nice but not relevant for farming in general

what also could be done without ANY problems is that as soon as its OBVIOUS a battlegrund is lost ppl give UP and do not prolong the inevitable, this alone would help a lot
"let them win, its over anyway, new round - new luck"


what i would wish for goldfarming would be that killing mobs would become more rewarding but also harder in corelation, similar to the old crater or KOE
- adjusted somehow that only a very strong player could farm at maximum efficiency
wellebell (wild shore in general) was a good thing also and i miss it

yes exactly that would be a good compromise between my suggestion and the "majority way of thinking" but you can clearly see that it's really complicated when you get kicked just by saying that sometimes... -_-
but yes a less radical idea would be to let the 1st team that reach, let's say 500 or 1000 points win, this way the ones that come to fight have a bit of fighing and the gold farmer have a faily short bg...

miss these farming maps aswell 5.0 is by far the best patch allods ever had imo so wellebell and the other farming maps will remain a very good memory but even if the devs have gotten rid of this system i don't understand why they've removed these maps from the game they could have just remove the loot from the mobs to make them useless to farm but still let us go there for norstalgia

I didn't read all this because I think it's been answered already but you can make Greatness quest in 2 or 3 runs in S1 Epic.

Go S1 epic, farm staples. Trade those staples for negotiant coins then use the coins to buy Fable staples and trade these staples for Emblems of Greatness.

Voila, Greatness completed in about 30 mins.

they've made greatness way too easy to get -_- srly where is the feeling of accomplishment when you can finish it in 30min x_x before you needed a few weeks mounths to complete it and it was much better imo...

same with personal allod, just do some tkarik-farming and you have it in short time...
