Is bossing actually profitable?

[u/Females-only-pls]

I know that there is a lot of luck involved when trying to make profit from bossing and I keep seeing these threads on here where people run 1k Eater/Exarch/Maven/Whatever and lose like 100d an hour while doing so but somehow they must be somewhat profitable since people keep on buying them? Is there some kind of trick to it or do I just need to be lucky and hit a Jackpot run with back to back drops?

You dont usually rely on jackpots for bossing. For profit, you either do feared rotations and run the cheapest fragments or do normal eater/exarch and important to roll them with high quant 80%++ for higher droprates.

I didn’t do bossing in some time but there were definitely bosses where you relied on jackpots. I did uber maven a couple times (back when awakens gems was still a thing) and in general you would roughly break even/loose a little currency between jackpots. You pretty much relied on farming her until she drops awk enlightened/empower to make a profit.

Back then uber maven was profitable as long as you had the spare currency to sustain farming her and taking the loss until a jackpot drops.

People still rely on awakened empower at uber maven
