It should be easily feasible to earn 66 essences, 150 runes and 500 fragments per 25 minutes once you can 1-hit kill biosphere monsters, note that this is with turning in the quest each time it is completed for maximum essences/hr.<br> | |||
The above results were posted per 25 minutes specifically as that's typically how long I take to clear all 15 subjugation quests for a particular biosphere.<br> | |||
Taking raw zeny from killing monsters and npc vending varmundt armor into account, it should be easy to earn 100m/hr this way if the items are sold at the right price. (Ideally at least 400k per essence) | |||

Neutral | Neutral element arrows will be faster to kill with over arrow switching as they can both damage almost every creature in the dungeon.<br> | ||
Additionally, since every enemy here is a boss-type creature, {{#item:4253}} and {{#item:9134}} are both very effective for damage reduction and increasing your own damage output. | |||

All the advice from the depths 1 party dps section also applies here, however, you will likely also want to bring {{#item:523}} to remove the curse status effect frequently afflicted here.<br> | |||
I strongly recommend sticking to neutral arrows in most scenarios due to large variety in monster elements in the dungeon. | |||
The amount you can gain will vary depending on your party, but you can typically expect around 60 {{#item:1001555}} and 20 {{#item:1001556}} per hour assuming your party completes the 3,000 kills quest within the hour. | |||
I recommend using @aloottype +6, along with @autoloot 0 and @alootid +1001550|1001551|1001552|1001553|1001554|1001555|1001556 to only pick up the useful crafting ingredients in this dungeon.<br> | |||
Remember to turn in your 450 kills quest frequently as it will reward a {{#item:1001556}} each time, you can ask your party what position they're closest to when you need to re-enter the portal for a shorter trip back to the group. | |||
