Emeralds - TCC vs. TNA

Okay so I'm saving up for a Weathered on the trade market, and I'm planning to buy one of 7-10 stx worth. I have a little more than a stack of LE right now. Currently, I'm grinding The Canyon Colossus and selling ingredients I get. Usually I get about 10-20 LE after a few runs. But I'm wondering if just doing TNA would be more efficient, as it gives straight LE instead of relying on trade market. What should I do? Thank you :D

 

tna is better iirc

 

ty! this will help

 

Doesn't TCC technically give way more value assuming you manage to sell the ingredients?

 

well yeah but you need to get starfish oil or voidstone ingots to actually make good money off that

 

Alright I just did some calculations
Assuming i get 15 LE from Voidstone Ingots and Starfish Oil, and I get those about a third of the time, TCC averages 5 LE per run minimum. TNA has about 2-4 LE in the chest, so 3 average.
Based on this, TCC should be faster, but there are other things to take into account like player skill and raid efficiency.

 

TCC pros:
- TCC is a lot easier than TNA, so you're gonna be winning more often
- To add to this, you don't need to rely on a good party to win (I'm fairly sure you can pretty easily solo TCC with the right upgrades)
- The Void ingots and starfish oil give a lot of LE, apparently bringing the average LE gained to 5 per run
- Party leader only needs to pay 1 tol
- armor tomes are nice
- Rewards can contain tol runes

TNA pros:
- Immediate and reliable reward of about 3 le
- If you're playing with a good party I think it's faster
- lvl 105 tomes
- high level req means pfinder doesn't have a lot of noobs (still possible tho)
- Possibility of getting chestnut horses which sell for 4 le
- Possibility of getting set items that sell for a good amount

Looking at this, I think that TCC is a lot better

 

I know what I’m going to do now. Thanks for the responses guys :D
