Welcome back everyone to the base or cringe series. We are going again this league. We started this last league, at least the name, and uh, we're doing it again this league. And I'm not promising to try all the same strats. Of course, there's a lot of different strats to do in this game. We're in fact starting out with something that's as close to all can go as I can imagine. I kind of don't want to do a just Al and go thing. So we're going to ALK and domination Scarab and map Scarab and some fragments for Quant and go. And we'll also put shrines on the map device. This is going to be a 10c per map investment, very low, very chill, not chiseling and not running after any particular league mechanic. I just kind of want to build a map pool for myself and possibly my map runners in Kings March. So we're putting in the carto Scarab of escalation, and I roll these maps to be mostly five or six mod.

there's a couple of higher old four mods that kind of slip through the cracks because it's 10% increased Maps found per map mod. So these are mostly five mods or six mods. And then my tree looks like this. If this is on YouTube, it'll be on the description. Of course, this will be on YouTube. I just picked up the Quant wheel, the top hat, increased effect of mods, scarabs, free Essence, free box, some Essence, some map stuff, Nico for some character power, shrines for character power. Very bare bones basic tree. We are not really Min maxing for a single League mechanic. Just a little bit of character power and Quant and increased effect of mods. And I want to get a bunch of maps out of this for future Bas T cring episodes and uh maybe my map Runners and Kings March. I will write down how much gold I get so that'll be tracked. And of course, sort to loot into these three tabs. See how much currency we make. I just want to go fast, kill some monsters and get some maps maybe some

loot maybe some scarabs who knows. Okay, we have acquired the ancient crane technique, which will help us be more efficient in placing our maps in the inventory just like so. So, you might have noticed we have a six-slot map device, but I'm only using five of them. This is intentional. You may not have a map device with six slots yet. Maybe you haven't done a 17 yet or something. We'll be as cheap and as relatable as possible for now, for the first episode at least. So, we're only using five slots. If you want to Jem in something else, you can Jem in like more PEC size, another Quant fragment, rare monsters, any one C Scarab, or even more shrines. Two more shrines with a domination Scarab, plenty of options. I'm sure you can pick something. I'm going to run blue altars, but I'm probably not going to pick many of them. Maybe I see a Divine altar, something I'll just build towards the, you know, final boss because we will be killing

the M bosses here so that's the plan, and then we'll put the more shrines on here, and that's it. Let's get started. Okay, this is minus 17 res. Oh my God, how we doing? 73 res with the res Shrine. I'm still figuring out what most my character can't run or don't want to run. I see it. Do you guys see it? It is within sight. The fun Shrine has been acquired. Let's go another map. No, please don't lose the speed Shrine. Another map. This strategy is working, guys. We are sustaining, and we're mining ore, and we're having fun. That's what counts, right? And the hands keep coming down. All right, something spawns here. Let's go. Wait, the shrine's expired. Is it buff expire faster map? It is 12% faster. No, my fun. The map ate my fun [ __ ]. All right, Fortress from the boss again. Surely I see Brothers. What is [Applause] that two fracturing? That's a fracturing.

orb I just found six div. What the [ __ ] I see Brothers, why are they IC see? Okay, next map. Map goes in. Yes, I got rid of my [ __ ] minus Rarity ring. I lost one di on it, but it's his problem now. Rarity reduces gold drops. Just making sure you know. I didn't know I paid three div for the ring. It's your problem now. Good luck. Have fun. Okay, information has been acquired and passed on to the next person. Double it and sell it to the next person. Let's go. I'm not going to ignore him. What the [ __ ]? No, it's toxic. I told them. In all fairness, it is a good ring. And if you don't care about Kings March at all, it's fine. But Divine, he will sell it for one day. Oh no, a divine retribution. Wait, that's the third Divine. I got my whole ring back. Two plus one is three minus one, that's two Ms. All right, post champ, we're

crafting an enchant for bazooka for his new cool wand. Look at this big Mana T1 lightning damage Essence BR speed T1 spell crit T2 multi gain craft. And the enchant is, I'm guessing the only one that I have runes for, haunted by tormented Spirits. So, so this actually does something. This gives, uh, gives him 35% movement speed, attack speed, cast speed, and random ghost Buffs. Really cool, really cool funky stuff. And it stacks, and it Stacks. You can have two of them. Holy, you're double ghosted, crazy man. GG enjoy. If I knew, if I only KN this. Oh my, this is, this thing is so good. Fortress, yo, Fortress number two. Wow, my tier n shipper found a wife in calgar after I paid him 500 gold per hour and 3K signing bonus. Unlucky. Hey, it's, it's going to be half a million gold pretty much exactly. Holy [ __ ] based, okay J. Oh, and we get a screaming invitation as well in the end. Nice.

41 monsters remaining. That's good enough for me, guys. We finished the 50 maps, and we made some money. But how much money? I don't know. Let's find out. I sorted the loot. This is what we got: 11 Fortress maps, and they are 85c each in singles, and even 100c in bulk. So, that's pretty good. We got lucky, and we got an IC Brothers card. That's a lot. That is 5.4 div. So, that's big. We can see at the end what percentage of the profit there is. And we got this many maps. We have 38 of our favorites out of 50. And then let's see. So, this would be 48, 50 here. So, this is the extra that we got. So, let's do a calculator. So, we got 88 maps on top of our 50 that we sustained. So, we put in 50 maps. We got 88 plus 50. So, 138 maps out. That's pretty good. Maps this league have great value because if you don't want to run them, your mappers.

can run them so maps in bulk actually serve for 5C, and they are worth that much because you know your mappers will run them. They'll get a chaos or two or whatever, and sometimes they'll get a Divine, sometimes they'll get something good. So if you don't want to run them, someone else will. So we'll count these as uh 5c each. So 88 bonus maps uh times five, we have 440c profit in just maps, in just these maps. And then we also got the currency Tab and the fragment Tab, and this I don't know how good wealthy Exile is at pricing like bul stuff, so I think I'll just price these a single. We'll price these as bulk cuz we got 11, so we'll do 100 C each for these. That's uh 1100 C. It's worth noting that just the Fortress Maps paid for the whole project probably twice over because we spent uh 10 C per map. We spent 500 C, and just the Fortress maps are 1100 C, so that's pretty cool.

let's add 1100 C, and then take away our 500 input cost, so we are at 1,000 chos profit, plus this, and this, and this, which we will uh, well, the Exile. Right now, I want to check map base store cringe, and F2. I'm going to refresh to make sure that we don't double count the t7s. Let's go 14 div. Wow, Jesus, why? 'Cause we got two streaming invitations. Those are just 30ty. See, wow. Okay, it's because we got the IC brothers. So, 14 div at current market rate is uh, 147.258 chaos. So, we made 3,098 chaos pure profit, including the IC Brothers card. If we want, we can take that away. I'm not going to because I found it, but we can try. It's 5.3 div. So, 779 chos of this was the IC Brothers card. So, if we didn't find this, then we made 2,319 chos, which is 15.77%. You can do your own.

calculation. If you want so, we made 3,100 chaos and half a million gold. By the way, this is gold that I made specifically during these 50 Maps. I did not dump during this whole thing. Well, I say this whole thing. It was really fast because it's just 50 fast Maps where you're not interacting with multi-minute mechanics. You just go, go, go. So, it was actually really fun. But, yeah, half a million gold also on top of the 3,000 chaos. So, how much is this in divines? It's 21 divines. And how long did it take to run? So, it took 25 minutes to run 10 Maps. It took 125 minutes to run, divided by 60. That's 2.08 hours. So, we made that in 2.08 hours, which means we made 10 div an hour. We farmed this entire character's gear set in one hour exactly. Okay, so that's as close as you can get to all and go. I think without actually just all and going 10 D per.

hour Strat put in some shrines. Go fast. This doesn't include mappers or shippers. This is again just this project, and we made half a million gold, which you can then put into your town, upgrade your guys, send them out to ship, send them out to map. They'll bring in some more money. I think there is still ways to make money this league. I will continue to test these ways in future videos. Thanks for watching, happy mapping, good luck, and have fun and enjoyed the video game. And this video really needs to end right now. At this point, it's going way too past the point of the video, still going and going. [Music] and I am want you to know you [Music]

They also discuss finding and selling a ring, expressing frustration and ultimately making a profit.

The speaker's narrative conveys their in-game actions and reactions to various events.

Enchanting the Bazooka Wand with Haunted by Tormented Spirits

The enchantment provides 35% movement speed, attack speed, cast speed, and random ghost buffs, with the ability to stack two of them.
