Hi everyone I never been to proper boss run except CWKPQ but i was dced by mage boss(i think she has skill called instant dc hack or something) that was my first boss run and failed. I want to make some mesos but i really suck at merching and mtsing so yeah, and i dont want to buy mesos. I wonder how many Zhelm and skillbooks and and good items that zakum drops, And also how many scar/targa hats from scarlion/targa drops? I think everyone will want to loot drops from boss so isnt it hard to get anything? Does hortail drop anything other than HTP? But i heard its really hard to kill it without BP hack. If bossing is worth doing for profit, i might try some as soon as i get Max SE. I have another question, do other boss runs make windows 7 comp dc like cwkpq? Do lowest graphics and mute sound setting prevent dcing? Thank you

question 1: yes 2: no And, mainly boss runs involving cuts are the good money makers.

yes bossing is probably your best non merch money maker. i usualy get paid for my cwkpq's (4-5mil) + the bonus which can net you some decent money too if you get something good. zak drops alot of stuff now with the new drop rate (a lot of helms and skill books), scar drops atleast 2 helms but not much else. Also everyone who has windows 7 apparently has problems bossing. i personaly think its the hardware (namely the video cards) because i have a win 7 laptop. its like 6 months old and i've never dc'ed on it, even when bossing.

having sound muted or unmuted doesnt make a difference, cause the sound is preloaded and is playing in the system anyway even if you cant hear it and making low graphics does make a difference so set the graphics to lowest, unless you have a good graphics card i think?

Zakum/Scarlion/Targa. ^ Loot 4/5 helmets per day, find your own way how to get NX 1:10 (I got my way). SoK the helmets (30M), sell the helmets for 60~80M. Around 80~200M profit per day. Of course you have to sell them all in 1 night/day then so it requires to have a decent spot. Also lvl some more and joint a HT squad that runs around 3-4 times per week. (double runs preferabely) If you're bored you can also Mini Boss and hope for little profit.

[/quote] oh because i got black screen straight away when the mage hit me with magic attack, i was never lagging thru the run, even going into portal was very smooth. My cwkpq mate told me to report her, but idk how to report a boss monster so yeah

i mean your components are good (especially compared to my 6 year old xp rig (which btw runs maple full quality flawlessly at 120 fps)), dont know why your running 7 on it, guess you upgraded from vista.
