Note that in order to run Albey Red in 10 minutes like you said, the players would need to have some pretty good skills ready to be used.
I personally windmill my way through, but my guildies wouldn't be able to do that.
On that thought, the amount of fomors you got in that one particular run is a little on the high side.
Furthermore, it was only from 1 run. Do 10 runs consecutively and total the number of fomors, then divide it by ten; that'll give you a MUCH accurate result.
Lastly, I don't think anyone uses drop potions unless they're hunting for pages x3 The drops of healer/will o wisp items are also too low to have a huge effect long term.

If you can run it pretty well, Shadow Cast City Hard solo pretty much gives about 20-30k each run and usually 1-3 Finest leathers. Occasionally you get more if the doppelganger decides to drop some gold or 5x arat crystals. On top of that the exp is pretty nice. Only takes about 6-9 minutes for a single run...
Granted, this isn't for everyone... and Albey Red is significantly easier. I just like it because it knocks down my casual gold and leveling needs in one place.

I found a new love for albey red yesterday. Currently training summon golem, using them to windmill my way through in 12-15 min while getting all the fomor scroll, exp, and golem kill requirement done? Yes please.

What do you mean, what's wrong with dropped potions?

Been doing red gem since like... forever. I've never actually got any enchants before but that's probably because I skip the first floor to make my runs quicker. The second floor is Fomor Scroll HEAVEN!! From what she obtained in her run that's pretty accurate in terms of a bad run. Depending on the 1st floor and 2nd floor spawns it can range from one stack of regular skeletons and some red and metal skeletons to 3 stacks of Red, two stacks of metal, and maybe like half a stack of mimic scrolls. Normally I never get at least 1 stack of each a run. Meh.

I don't either, unless it is on a Tuesday. When it isn't a Tuesday, drop rate isn't good at all. It takes a lot of effort to make very little money.

Note @5*, the regular 5th run results was so out chart from the other results that i chose to repeat it. Only 5* enters the calculation, not the 5th
20 mins run each, took it easy :I
No matter what we do, average per run is ~30k on non tuesday and ~35k on tuesdays
Also lol

I really should run this again; I haven't run it in like 400 levels at least, except once to help with someone's G1. I never quite saw 30k a run though, but I also ran it much slower too.
One of the reasons why I stopped is that it is NOT an easy dungeon to speed-run through, at least not for me. It's too easy to take a random hit from somewhere and die to a crit that hits you for 160. To be quite honest, I truly believe that anyone who says they're running it in 10-15 minutes is 1: 1.5-2k with good equips including defensive equps 2: lying.
