How much easier can it get? You only need 3 people to enter.
Options: you get 3 friends to enter with you. If they do not want to go in with you, they can enter - force DC. You enter as the only person. They do not lose permit or tags.
You can solo -everything- in there.
Plenty of floors with substantial gears that can give a good deal of Alexandrite.
Not to mention that a DNC could potentially solo some of the easier bosses.
That aside, a small group of 3 is more than enough to clear absolutely everything in a Salvage run and walk out with a substantial amount of Alexandrite to either Split, or focus on a single weapon.
lol. drop rate of alex on single gears is abysmal without TH, and even then it sucks; /congrats you got 15 alexandrite?
boss purse drop rate is low as well, again even with TH.
a where's this substantial amount of alexandrite? in SRR, a good run is about 70 without boss purse; with regards to boss purse, see above.
that's not even 100 alex a day, and even @100/day, you're looking at almost 1 full year of daily salvage. easier said than done.
what salvage world do you live in? because i sure as hell want to come.
