    Those of you who have done/doing both Aakas and Gold Rush 2015 - which instance would you recommend to use to farm arkoins?

    I'm kind of getting interested in the Arkoin Broker clothing and need another >4900 arkoins, but I don't know if I should continue with the Category 1 instance or wait and do Aakas when my skills have improved. It's a matter of PED balance. :confused:

    Thoughts?

    Another 55 minute session and I can say that Gold Rush is not worth the effort for me. I walked away with 31 arkoins only, no points, no globals, several no looters/novas and 79,80% loot return. :stats:

    Maybe I'm just impatient, no idea. I just don't feel it. Maybe Aakas will be good to me in the future.

    If you want arkoins u have to wait til after gold rush , there are no arkoins in aakas or gold rush instances , u can get a few peds of it from time to time

    This is untrue, at least I haven't finished one of either instance without finding some. Getting the impression though as if the total amount or throughput per time window (whatever interval they use) of Arkoins in the loot pool is fixed and due to the increased number of players during the event everybody gets less than usual. Just my theory, could be wrong. But it ain't zero.

    Well, if anyone needs a lot of them fast, then publish a buy request, ideally both here and in trade chat. Because currently they are still tt food for everybody who needs the ped rather than the koins. Markup has plummeted, auction fees are prohibitive and shouting them out is utterly frustrating.

    Thanks for your input(s). Due to the low rate last GR session I'll wait for Aakas. I still need some levels of Brawler before I go in (just my own goal, really). I'm in no hurry to get the required arkoins for clothing.

    You're right, I spoke too soon or rather based on several days' old data. How fast things can change.

    I had a 10ped arkoin global in cat 1 yesterday and seem to be getting 500 koins per 2 hour session now, maybe there are less people doing GR now?

    Most people finished their 65 hrs , i noticed an increase in arkoins aswell , u can ask people who are doing aakas if there is any change.
