Well. After writing this, I almost immediately was alerted to the fact that Castle Hundenswein much, much better for farming. I'm doing research on the items (which you should autosell, which you should use to create sidekicks, etc), but if anybody else wants to change this, be my guest.
You're forgetting noncombat vs. combat rates as well as item drop rates. I preferred the DDD because of the item drop rates totally beat the Cube's. You'll have to include tons of numbers for this to be accurate. --MN (#228) (T|C) 10:40, 26 November 2008 (MST)
Yeah, I know. I'm rather scared of statistics, to be honest. I don't know if anyone actually has the numbers for the Cube, let alone the Castle, but you're right, the guide is severely lacking in charts, tables, percentages, and whatnot.
