Road to 1,000 Tidal Islands (for masters)

Farming masters in low lvl areas past lvl 6 seems a waste of time. The spawn rate is low and the xp they gain is low too. Imo just go for clear speede and run maps, they spawn in about 50% of them and yo can get zana. discussion closed.

OT, but i saved all my alts/jews from those maps and ended up with these:

Interesting with Catarina there. That almost makes her look like she has a higher chance to spawn than other masters do. And 47 within 100 maps pretty much confirms Grinding Gear Games saying masters spawn 1 in 2 maps.

This has already been discussed several times and agreed upon. We all know that maps with fast clear speeds are better, such as Tropical Island (66), Strand (71), and Gorge (74). This thread is more informational than anything else. It isn't to say that a person should spam Tidal Island.

It has also been discussed that I am spamming Tidal Islands for corrupted zones and just keeping track of masters. Corrupted zones cannot be found in maps.

1,000 done

Ended at 1:11 maps. Weird spread of master spawns. Poor Vorici really fell off. They weren't really anywhere close to an even spread at the end.

Id love to see what you all got in items and currency in thoes 1000 runs.

do you get enough xp from tidal island or does it matter?

I didn't keep track of currency and items. I know I did several Chaos recipes, picked up a Tabula Rasa, and had a bunch of crappy uniques drop. Also got enough sacrifice pieces to do about 30 Atziri runs. Before someone questions this, I know midnights cannot drop in Tidal Island corrupted zones. I had to use a lot of the pieces in the map generator to get midnights.

Experience didn't matter to me. I don't really care to level anymore as it's boring and takes way too long. It was probably like 5-10% total. A person would not do it for experience, just for corrupted zones or maybe low level masters. Though, end-game maps will always be better for masters.
