Organizer is fine. Set it to a hotkey and start it. If the spawn gets out of hand hit the organizer button again and it stops.

The real "pain" with the organizer is adding all the stuff to it.
But you can do it before hand if you know what you want to be in the organizer and how you want it.

Like begin with gold, then regs, then gems, then weapons, then armour and so on. You just need one of every kind you want in the organizer. It takes some time but well worth it. Or you can add items as they appear in the chests.

I did that with spell scrolls for example.

50 MiB's, but I guess that is going to take a lot of time.
I have like 100 MiB's, just need a boat and a fisherman and a provo-archer to get things going. But I might wait a while to do this.

I would like mib as well but there are alot of variables. Are all mibs sorted and close together or purely random.

Will pirate encounters and or pk's be part of the breakdown?

Bent rods or normal fishing poles?

There are some pirates who have a great system, I know one with over 1300 mibs.. lots of clustered goodness when you devise a system up for it. I'm told they can do 100 mibs in a 2-3 hour session.. (i think that's what they told me).

Pirate encounters on the water are not as common as some make it sound.. unless you are frequenting Whirlpools and such.

That's the plus side of having mass bottles. You can group 100 or so in a tighter group but the amount of space they take up can be crazy. TBH I'm not sure of pirates ATM it's been a long time since I did them but I agree the loss is smaller as most people recall to drop chests off when they get them. The real drawback there is time.

That's why I said with so many variables you can't do a flat profit per hour. You can give a typical essay of a normal experience but the swing from one outing to another can be quite drastic.

I guess it's possible to make 2 surveys on MiB's. One with grouped MiB's and one with random MiB's just to compare the time.
But to get 50 grouped MiB's will probably require a shit load of MiB's to find 50 that is somewhat grouped. :(

Does anyone have a clue on how often protal fragments drops in chests?
I did 1 level 1 chest this mornign and got one. :)

The percentage varies by map level, I've gone 50 level 5's without one, and I've also gotten 4 in like 15 maps. Level 6's are more common than level 5's, more common than level 4's etc... I have to imagine with batman running level 6 prices up to 30k per map, that the drop rate is decent, and he's getting RDA's out of those level 6's too.

Alright, that makes sense. so getting one on a level 1 is more or less pure luck and nothing else! :)
Good value for a map I bought from a vendor for 350gp. ;)

Excellent value! I've never gotten one on any map level's 1-4, and I've done about 100 of each now.. I've done about 50 level 5's, and I think I've seen 1 frag, my most luck came from 5's, I've done probably 250 of those, and gotten about 7 frags, but like I said, I got 4 of them in a cluster of 15 maps. My luck has been pretty bad - I hear most people get frags on 5's/6's about 1 in 25 maps.. I can't confirm that at all :(

I feel like I'm never gonna find cheap tmaps on vendors again...

what was someone saying about a guy cornering the market on lvl 6 maps? a year ago I'd find those for around 10k, the last ones I've seen are 35k+
