Can someone explain the Valby gold run to me?

[MutoManiac]

I have Valby, go around at the Agna Desert outpost for the 3 mins blowing up the towers, killing adds and not killing the boss. The mission fails of course and I get maybe 40,000 gold if I'm lucky. People say they get around 300,000? I need gold, lol. ty

Believe that would be the top fortress outpost in hardmode, 300k is a bit optimistic.. Only reason to do other outposts is to farm for ultimate reactors on rotation... though some bosses may walk into her water and die so ehh.

[Kashra Fall]

It has to be a well populated outpost and have a hard to kill boss so no accidental deaths. The most popular one, is in the fortress area. There is another good one in white gulch, another in echo swamp, etc. Also, make sure to do it on hard mode and equip gold prof component.

You'll pretty much need bunny for the gold farm spots, Ambush in Desert and abandoned Refinery in Echo Swamp are the best ones, which they also drop Code breakers which you need.

"Valby Run" is a location in Fortress, Defense Line. Vulgus Strategic Outpost. You destroy the 4 reactors, attack the boss till he start his second phase, and then keep going around in circles while using Clean Up, to kill the spawnming mobs. Used to the best, then the nerf/fix happened, and it's not much as attractive. Dunno how much you make per hour, but there are interference. Some players might want to finish the boss, Bunny players don't give a damn about the AoE and also kill him. If you can solo it, but then, you going to need some good build for damage and duration, and pehaps a bit of range.

Another location is in Echo Swamp. Environment Contamination Zone at Abandoned Zone. Used to be more active, but not so much nowadays. At least in my region, as this game seem that put people of similar culture, together.
If you can keep up with the run and gun, in special when there are big AoE Bunnies, is a good location to get modules as well, as a chance to red ones (transcendent).
But might eventually became tiresome.

Sterile Land have two popular locations:
Anticipated Ambush Point at Rockfall. Short, can give you reds. Even if you can't keep up with AoE farmers, you can still be there reseting the mission and once every 3 runs, go get the loot.
Kuiper Refinery at Repository. Forget about ending the mission, just kill the mobs that spawn around the circular area. You can use Luna at the center, or go around with Valby and Bunny, or just any descendant, really. Even AoE Ajax.
I just feel that there is too much, for too little there. But it's an option when you can't or won't do the others.

White-night Gulsh, Fortress Outskirt is my favorite. You trigger all 4 location and just go around killing everyone. You can get around 150k per run, if you don't miss the drops. Need to be smart there.
If you can solo it, is for the best.

Now for a multiplayer one, Sterile Land, Block Kuiper Mining. It's an Special Operation, and you can use the console at Albion (yellow globe). Best XP and gold of all the above, with a change to find Mark of Arrests.
The catch, you need at least a good player to go through all the waves. Some people might leave soon, because whatever the reason, or cause they are being too proud about specific descendants/weapons that someone might be using.

I've been doing it on HM and did both of the ones in Fortress and still only 20-30K. That's why I'm asking since I guess I'm doing something wrong. I mean I haven't tried equipping a gold boost component but I don't think that will shoot me up to over 100,000 or so.

It doesn't, if anything, it's like a 6-10% increase in your gold pickups, so it stacks well with the booster. Either way, more is more. Also, it's recommended to do it in a team, because more people= more spawns (Apparently.) and faster clear rates. I personally don't do it because it bores the ever living heck out of my. I'd rather rot my brain with ambush in sterile lands. 40-50k every 23-28 seconds. You just have to listen to sharen, over and over and over.

Thanks, I tried the Fortress defense line one (on hard mode) and got about 47,000. The tip about having the boss go to the second phase was what I was missing. I'll try it with a booster component, but it still seems low compared to others bragging on YT.

You need two valibys to farm that Outpost effectively making 400 to 500 k gold each run . The reason for 2 is for the increased spawn rate and dps ,

Now why 4 ppl doesn't spawn more mobs and also gives less gold - No clue , but that how they made it

[𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕚𝕕𝕠𝕟]

Content creators will do whatever to bring attention to them, lie, misinform, exaggerate, forget about important details. Doing it on purpose or not.
But you can squeeze some good information from it, if you rationalize it.

About the boss second phase, I'm not 100% sure, but I think might increase the spawn. If not, that is a good way to make the boss invulnerable to the the Clean up. Unless some dbag player start to attack him.
Some thing that people might like to do, is to bring him to almost defeat, and finish him before the mission fail.
It's not a bad thing, cause there is good loot from it, the small issue is to wait for another minute.

I was there earlier today Fortress, Defensive line outpost and looked like it was averaging about 17k Kuiper and 240k~ gold per run. It's better with multiple Valby that way you're not losing too much damage indexing into duration/range. If you're still able to kill the adds with a single tick of Clean Up, you're doing well.

Seems like you are completing the mission , the idea is to run the full length of 2 1/2 minutes and fail the mission

Oh, I see, thanks. Yah, spawn rates are pretty low, that must be why.

[Grognak]

It used to be this Outpost (on hard mode ofc):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3310612532

Shoot the power units, maybe also remove the first health bar of the boss (optional) but dont touch his balls. Then use Valby's 3 in the outer circle of the Outpost until the time runs out, let the mission fail, repeat.
Ofc most enemies spawn if you have a full squad.
*well it took me too long to write this ig

[oreomadness]

Yes the agna desert one can yield 245k-300k every 3 min. The key is not killing the boss. You need to build around a lil damg, hp, duration/cd. Do not use range mods as this boss isn't an orb boss. If you build range your water will spread out to far and hit the boss and kill him. You don't "have" to have a gold "gold increase" but it does help. The 300k though is top end , its not always going to be a certain number. Your gold rate will be plus or minus depending on rng.
