Why are Niko missions so rare?

stuff just begins when you get to t15/16s. getting to that point takes a lot of currency, which is also when you don't have it. but once you get there its like just printing money over and over.

stick with it and keep pushing. once you can be running quad sextant t16s with 3x scarabs a go you'll be rolling in the money.

it takes money to make money

What? Are you trying to say that not everyone gets 200 Ex the moement they hit maps and get to clear the game instantly with one click?

Man you will shock a lot of people on this forum with these bold statements.

1:12. Close to my guess. 1.3% chance to get at least 50 areas in a row without Niko (discounting "forced" encounters). That was pretty much me. I went from Act VI where he's forced to mapping only seeing him twice more.

essentially what im saying is while you're mapping all currency should be rolled into running the highest tier stuff you can. get to t15/16 ASAP then all currency is rolled into those maps which will make you mounds of currency.

the people who don't get there either #1 don't play enough, #2 are afraid to invest in their maps, #3 a mix of both.

doesn't take 200ex to get to 15/16, not even a 200ex build. you can easily make 200ex with enough time running t16s in this manor though

i was being sarcastic m8 and overexahgerating to poke a bit at the people who expect things handed to them without any effort. I got your drift.

I have had the same crappy RNG. Then again, I am also just finally starting to flesh out my white and yellow Atlas - but I am getting Einhar and Alva all over the place.

Like the guy who said he doesn't like Delve and keeps getting Niko, I don't like Incursion and keep getting Alva. It's like they are reading our minds - <<mind-blown.gif>> Confirmation boas indeed.

But, yeah, I casually played somewhere in the realm of 20 maps last night and did not see Niko. FeelsBadMan

I... Can't seem to get away from Niko. I see Niko 3x as much as any other Master.

I haven't mapped since the patch, but previously, because I didn't delve for long (level 50), It was infuriating.

Since 3.5, it's been:
Run a Map. Fill my Sulphite, Go Delve for an hour or two.
Come back, go map, get one of the other masters.
Map Again, Get Niko. Fill Sulphite, Go Delve for an hour or so.
Come back, go map, get one of the other masters.
Map Again, Get Niko. Fill Sulphite, Go Delve for an hour or so.
Come back, go map, get one of the other masters.
Map Again, Get Niko. Fill Sulphite, Go Delve for an hour or so.
Come back, go map, get one of the other masters.
Map Again, Get Niko. Fill Sulphite, Go Delve for an hour or so.
Come back, go map, get one of the other masters.
Map Again, Get Niko. Fill Sulphite, Go Delve for an hour or so.
You get the idea.

and on, and on, and on, and on. It was tiring. I'm hoping that the changes to sulphite capacity, and cost changes for things makes it a little easier to catch up, and get to a point where Delves are worth running.

In my opinion they should just remove the favor reward from niko missions and ALWAYS make atleast one previously completed map have a niko on it. Complete it, he spawns on another random map, complete that one, he spawns on another random map etc etc.

They've made the levels 1-50 of delve practically free to run... if that's your thing. You can run nodes there for azurite if you have the patience for it. One hit of Niko will get you plenty in that range.

Dropping into the 100-150 range of delve I haven't tested. But it's likely to be a different experience than before 3.5.0d

Makes me wonder where the sweet spot is for Azurite:Sulfite ratio.

Wait, Niko has quests?!
