We found this a few days ago and got it going with a few more Guildies the other day. It has around 8-12 Champs per rotation, with all but 1 of them being an event. Once we’d made a few rotations we counted our earnings and they seemed quite decent.

Per hour:
1.5g – Minimum – Depending on drops.

10k – 30k Karma – Around this number, could possibly rise with boosters.

We found all the Champs were also too hard to solo or do with below 5 people. This made the train hard to interrupt.

The train was a bit more challenging than Queendale or Frostgorge, but did offer more karma than either. Some champs you might have to skip or do the pre event for but neither should stop the train, since there are so many Champs.

We’ve been running this for the past few nights on Aurora Glade and other people seemed to like it so we thought we’d share it.

The map is linked below if anyone would like to try it. Only 2 waypoints are required, 1 of them is sometimes contested, you can either fight to get it back (for more karma) or leave it and use the closest waypoint.

I don’t know about you, but I can solo at least 6 of the champions on that route, and used to do so on a fairly regular basis. I could probably solo the champion giant too if I had enough AoE to consistently kill the grubs.

Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos

1.5g per hour is atrocious. how often do you get drops worth something?

1.5g was the minimum, it’s still around what the Queensdale train makes and offers more Karma then Frostgorge. The drops also seemed decent, with a few of us picking up rares and exotics on the way. Melandru and Lyssa are also close by, offering guaranteed rares.

You’re a master of the Universe. Congrats.

The karma looks great, but I would never do that cuz I rarely need karma. Sure I could rng it, but I would rather rely on something stable.

- No. 9 Is listed as Vigil / Monster Trio because of that, I’ve updated the line so it hopefully doesn’t confuse anyone.

- Thanks for making us aware of this other Champion though, I’ve updated the map with the location.

Just did this run. It’s a great way to get Karma. But we only had around 5-8 people so it took forever to kill the champs. I still got about 10k karma per hour, but that was with boosters. The gold is alright, probably on par with frostgorge if it gets some more popularity and you get a good zerg going.

Thanks for the feedback. I’d guess if we can get the train moving faster then karma and gold will rack up quicker. Yesterday we managed to get 20k Karma, I assume the larger numbers helped with that. Great to hear you got some good gold levels though.
