Is this guide still valid with python caves and gorgon queens of couse?

[kekkuli]

I've always farmed stonebinders from gorgon queens, and it has never taken that long.

[Nathiri]

I always get them in the mino lab :)

Yes these place is so close to rebirth fountain and once u have gorgon seed, you clear pretty fast. For just this item, that route is faster but if you want to have a few extras caves and queens are better

[Kotli]

Any place with a lot of Pyromancers and Geomancers is what you want. Gordan Queens are also good if you use extra mobs mods (Xmax x2 is 2x trash 3x bosses or m4ssboss3s tons of trash and crazy amount of bosses).

[kekkuli]

I've actually never gotten stonebinder drop from anywhere else than queens, and i have at least 600 hours in game probably more.

[Kotli]

Queens is easiest spot since theres 3 of them and they are fixed spawns. The Pyromancers and Geomancers who can drop them are rare mobs like 1 in 30 Gordans.

That short mino lab run has around 8 of the pyros and geos, plus a decent chance at a gorgon hero so it is actually very effective.

But i think the point here is that queens probably have higher drop rate than pyros/geos.

For efficiency, you need speed and easiness. Killin queens and reaching them takes a lot of time than the other route. For example if i can complete 3 times the small route in lab instead of 1 time queens and if queens drop rate is lower than x3, then lab route is more efficient. But i dont know actually. That guys suggested that for "this" item only small route in lab is better because it is faster and easy. But maybe not now.

Don't know doesn't really matter agreed? But on the other hand, the chest in the queens room can drop you something, it has not the best drop rate for a boss chest, and is not anywhere comparable to something like hydra but i've gotten some nice stuff from there nevertheless.

I'm using mods that increase the number of monsters\bosses for such purposes. Life is too short to waste so much time on such crap.

Yup with a steam level of 125 i would say so. For me that would be same as cheating though.

@kekkuli
When there's nothing to say, it's better to say nothing. It's just my opinion.

I don't care how others play the game (I only do multiplayer with my financé, whose playing preferences match my own), but I don't get why people use a mod to increase the drop chance. Would be easier and faster to just import the item they want.
