There is method to my madness, so read on stalwart traveler! Just click on 'Show More' below!
My troops, all fully-traited:
• Hero (me) using the Soul Blade (pause at 0:13 to see what it does)
• Sunbird
• Leprechaun
• Troop of the Week (Pandaska Mage, who gives a bonus 40 souls for this week only)
Now, you may ask WHY I'm not using troops with Necromancy (which will increase the limit of how many souls I can gain per fight, and the answer is, because it takes too long. If I had Pharos Ra, it would be different, but as-is, I can make more souls in less time this way.
You may also ask why I'm using the Leprechaun instead of the Fire Bomb! It's all about the money, honey! As long as I'm doing these explores, I might as well get some money whilst I'm at it!
I'm using the Celestial Armor, which gives me a 100% soul bonus and 50% bonus for gold and exp.
Results at 0:52. As you can see, I got 700 gold and 151 souls in under a minute. It's even faster doing a level 2 explore, but I get more money this way.
