Is it better to kill Scarlett Etzel in team or solo?

Question

My question is in some sense related to How is loot divided in Scarlet Etzel? but not quite. I am not asking whether it is easier to beat her in a group or alone because the mechanics themselves force fight her solo but... what with loot? Does it make boss alone or in a team matter on loot? Or maybe I have the same chance of drop a rare item as in a team fight? Maybe you have some experience with this?

Answer 1

I think solo is better.

Why?

 Well this is my situation: I am RP, and I always do It with an Ed. We attack the same to the Boss (2 turns each one) but I also tank It while the ED sio me. Our loot? AI normally get like 7 different things, he only gets a green gem, always.

The times he does It alone he gets as I do, over 7 different items...

So I guess that, at least, to do a little profit It is better to do It solo

Answer 2

The percentage to get a loot from boss is the same in team or solo. So if you can have level 350 or close, can do it solo.

Comments

even 250lvl will do the final boss solo without any problems, worse with the rest of the quest(minibosses) where you need a team

Answer 3

I think that better situation to kill scarlet is in X2. RP+ED, MS+ED, MS+RP, ED+MS... Using Sacred Tree Amulet and most protective earth set to avoid a lot of damage of the combo. (This combo can beat 7,5k+, take care)

Answer 4

I prefer to kill it solo because of one reason: dividing the loot works unfair in case of 2 players. One always gets less items. When I kill it solo always have few lines of loot, with EK I got max 2 items. I'm afraid it works also on rares, that when I kill it in team and don't have few lines of loot, then I have no chance for rare item.

Killing Scarlett Etzel solo is really easy, so I think there is no sense to risk the loot :)

ye, I think so. same happens for me when I go with an ed. He loots almost nothing, and i got several lines

Answer 5

All my friends usually do it solo. I don't know if it's more profitable, I think it is about don't wait for people and can go whenever they want.

I go a lot RP + MS, but I always only fall green gem. RP gets a much better loot. I wonder if it depends on dmg? then it would be more profitable to do it solo. I'm just afraid to do it, but I think it's better to do it solo.
