Farming Balefort Sewers - Best Bosses to Kill?

[kamikazees]

People are all over the place while farming Balefort Sewers, mostly focusing on Gold Fever because the map is easy. With the current CS prices, though, I thought I'd weigh in on which bosses farmers should focus.

First, the prices listed are estimates and fluctuate daily. I tried to be conservative, but feel free to weigh in if you think my numbers are skewed. I will not discuss all drops, but instead focus on the big ticket items. Also, no recipes included, since all bosses seem to drop those. With that in mind, here's my two cents:

Gold Fever: His big drops are the plate, robes and leather: Royal Sewer Robes (100k), Raid Leather (350k), FF Plate (400k) and MM Robes (600k). A good, easy boss to farm, but he does not have the most expensive drops.

Bandit King / Queen: This is where the money is at, assuming Sewer King prices stay high. They drop Sewer King Leather (800k!?), Raid Roach Wing (100k), FF Shield (800k) and MM Bracer (700k). Wow!

Trash Heap: Another very good boss. He drops Royal Plate (100k), RR Recurve (500k) and Auto (100k), FF Sword (800k), MM Gemstone Wand (700k). Wow!

C***roach: Another good boss, like Gold Fever moneywise, but you need a good group because he is the trickiest boss. He drops Sewer King Helm (500k!?) and Leather (800k!?), FF Axe (100k) and Gemstone Staff (200k).

Goblin King: I have no idea why people run this boss. He is very fast and easy to run, but doesn't seem to drop anything worth much. He does drop FF 2-handed weapons, which can be worth 100k each I guess.

I look for groups doing King/Queen, Trash and Gold Fever, in that order. So what has been your experience?

EDIT: Price / drop.

Did you star out cockroach?

Oh, and goblin king for the win. While his 'primary' drops are kinda sad (except talon), he has the same chance as all the other bosses for the secondary drops.

I reckon Trash Heap is the best boss to farm because there are hardly any low-priced pinks which drop there.

Yes, I did. That's an inside joke. Have you ever tried to say his name in game? Try it; you will laugh.

I've been seeing them for 650 and 700 in the CS, but I saw this morning they were not the 55 version. Price adjusted to 800k (and, like the shield, might be closer to 900).

He does; I accidentally listed Sewer King "Plate" and it should be "Leather". I'll fix.

I made an excel chart of all the pink drops in sewers. I forgot exactly where I looked it up but it may have been on PL wiki or wikia, so thanks to whoever provided the info for it. I do know that as far as I can tell so far, the info is accurate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following can be dropped by any of the sewer bosses:

SK/SQ = Sewer King/Sewer Queen
RS = Royal Sewer

SK Gemstone Leather, Cap, & Scarab
SQ Gemstone Robes, Cowl, & Staff
RS Gemstone Plate, Helm, & Hammer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pink armors for all builds are dropped by Gold Fever
The pink helms & shields for all builds are dropped by Bandit King/Queen

As for the weapons......
Goblin King:
RR Gemstone Talon, MM Gem Blast Staff, FF Gem Battle Sword, FF Gemstone Mace

Trash Heap:
RR Gemstone Auto-Crossbow, RR Gemstone Recurve, MM Gem Shard Wand, MM Gem Star Wand, MM Gemstone Wand, FF Gemstone Sword

Cockaroach:

Please correct me if I have made a mistake.
