  i always see this tail 2 spam really often at nation if ppl wanted exp and gold but never saw a video of ppl actually doing it

  
  
  I know this is about 21 hours and 2 pages late, but you should follow my youtube or check out my blog. I actually made a video running taill II in 3 minutes some 3 months ago, you can find it on either of those but I'll also post it here for convenience.

  I use somewhat endgame gear Ill admit, but not fierce ribbons or perfect roll on anything (simply mediocre rolls on enchants like ambush/difficult/butterfly and a bunch of oblivions). Im using a spirit weapon here I'll admit (which has never been a problem repairing to me) but I wanna say judging by my hotkeys and whatnot guns weren't released yet. Also no trans/food/demi even though Im a DK and I could easily infinite trans if I needed the extra kick.

  The problem with all these videos that everyone keeps posting is the use of aoe pets.

  I dunno, I don't see a problem with AOE pets. There's almost always one for sale. I got my ice dragons from surveys which anyone of any age can do. They're some of the only pets I didn't pay for myself lol
  
  If I complained about a couple ice dragons I'd have to complain about people with commerce partners, and I don't.
  
  Also everyone, anyone can get 3 battle Pegasus for free now. Plus all them flame mares from events.

  My Battle for Tail 2 run was about 2 and a half minutes using aoe stun pets. Maybe if I didn't use the Ice dragon it would take about 3 minutes or so. That means I can run the mission twice for 1 commerce. If you pick up the gold during the run you would make about 30k including the end reward, and that's not counting any huge lucky finishes. Also the end chest drops red stones, so that's another reason why I would run it.
  
  If you have a well developed character Battle for Tail 2 spam is always better imo.
  If you're more laid back, you can commerce every 2 hours using the limited goods.
  Or you can spam missions while waiting for the 2 hour mark for limited goods.

  Ice Dragon/Nimbus lock enemies in place, calling for continued AoE Skills. Battle Pegasus can knock back a full KB gauge enemy, spreading them apart therefore weakening AoE Skills. In the end full NX users get the better deal, and it's right since they paid for it. [S]But me and my cheap free-playing ass can care less about OPness and spamming clouds to heal.[/S]

  its still doable. sure i did use bike on boss, but other than that i only used 3 pegasus( which is free anyway).
  and time is still about dat of 3~4min range.(regardless of my luck)
  my max was about 500ish with bar and 350 or so with gun, not developed chara~but then i can still do stuff like this. [S]mabinogi combat is all about pet anyway[/S]

  Tested BT2 run for fun. Naked with only basic control bars, no AOE pets used, free flame horses used as transport.
  Kept trying to use charge on the archers then remembered I had no equips on :llama_cry2:
