Is it worth running normal Apex of Sacrifice?

I'm just wondering if it's generally worth it to run normal Atziri or just sell off my midnights. I just did 15 runs of normal Atziri and got 2 belts (fire and lightning), 3 boots, and 10 flasks. I think I got two Griefs, one Ignorance and one Rage. Feel kind of stupid running all those sets now that I think about it, I could have sold the 15 sets for 6-7 ex I think? Am I better off just selling the sets in the future (especially since the runs were actually pretty hard for me, I had to try pretty hard to kill Atziri each time haha).

well, a hope goes for 30ex or so.

so that 6-7ex could have been 30.

RNG, etc...
If you're just looking to make currency, if you run them, and sell all the stuff, you'll end up slightly ahead in the long run. If you just want guaranteed hassle free currency, just sell them.

Killing 15 in one go doesn't sound like you had it too hard!

if youre bored of maps then yea, but i suggest you farm your own midnights instead of paying for sets

I believe it is profitable but only in the long run. If you buy sets for 3:2ex and you average 1 hope every 20 sets you put in 14ex(rounded off).(side note I like farming midnights myself and run them when I have about 10 sets, nice for some chilling evenings and run it with some MF.)

If you get 5 belts in 20 runs(might be more) you sell them for 1ex each and the lightning ones for 3ex. So if 1 belt is lightning you got 7ex back, which puts you 7ex down.

If you got a hope which sells for 30-32ex you just gained 25ex.

I got lucky last 2 days and got 2 hopes from 15 sets, did one service run with a streamer and got gloves which could sell for 75ex :). My Second service set I got the chest(ev/es one) which is about 15ex worth.

All in all this could be profitable as long you have some luck. Also you could clear the apex with a culler(which I did allot) and you will get quite some uniques as well. In ambush I did about 40 runs without any hope drop, so RNG is RNG.

Good luck in your runs
Running Apex yourself is profitable in the long run, but you can easily have stretches of 10-20 runs in a row where you are running at a loss because nothing good drops. But eventually when a Hope drops you come out ahead.


Also, this is 100% anecdotal but probably my two best unique drops overall were in Apex (a CoE before they announced the nerf, and an Andy that dropped 15/70) - having all those blue mobs and nice bosses helps there.
Thanks for the input everyone! Guess I'll just farm like 10 more midnights and give it another go lol.

@CutlassPair: I guess it wasn't hard, but I had to use most of the portals every run and I only got like 10k dps so it took a while for each run :P
I've run about 50 and still no hope so pissed. I know I can face tank atziri if i get one as I face tank her ez in regular. 100% resits is 100%.
