For autofarming madness I use:

Killer Prime - Shadow
Desert Marauder - Steel, Invisibility
Prisoner - Primordials

Opponents get devastated in under a minute.

@yup, in my case it happened on Hard, farming madness now and it works fine.

I dont have fortune or sustaining talisman, but Stormseye sentinal team works. On manual it takes about 5 minutes to complete the battle.

Thanks for that ... works great ... but my team needs 1:30 on average ... still more than twice as fast as my first team

Update: it's fast but got defeated twice ... so switched back to the 100% team

Ok, so a raw math without taking into account the ironite we get from each dungeon run on madness looks somewhat like this:
Note: this is based on just 1 mega SOT refill and I was farming on madnessmode.


Total ferryman Frags needed: 750
Free Frags from achievements: ~ 200 (16 souls from achievements and first completion gives some for each mode)
Missing frags needed: 550 = 55 shadow souls
55 shadow souls from store = ~14000 wicker man fragments (10 souls @ 2500 frags)
Frags earned with 1 mega refil: 500
No of runs with 1 mega refill: ~50
Mega refills needed: 500 frags @ 1 mega refil for 14000 frags = 28 mega refils
Ironite required: 28 * 150 = 4200 ironite
Time to earn those frags: 1:30 secs each run * 1400 = 35 hours (40 hours if you include loading screens etc.)

Yeah, this is kind of crazy - it’s basically selling them for Ironite but making it a pain in the process - though this IS a game - so tough to complain about a reward based on playing

At the same time, it’s potentially not QUITE as bad as your calculation.

I’m using DDE, Killer Prime, (Both with Fate), Gunner Banshee, and Musashi (Primordial). Both Musashi and Banshee remove that pesky Invincibility from Shadow WME and this team finishes consistently under a minute. Best time is 31 seconds.

I’ve also seen a number of 18 frag drops. They’re not common, but at least they’ll make a small dent in the number of runs needed.

I agree, my calculations are not quite accurate. But I just want to give a rough projection of what it may look like.
As for as ironite, taking ironite returns from farming and free SOT over the span of 6 days, my guess is the average ironite required to unlock ferryman would be somewhere around 3000 ironite.

But the average time spend farming the dungeon, I still think it’s close to 35 hours.
It may be slightly less for you depending on your relics and the team setup. But most players can’t finish a run in less than a minute due to lack of relics, toons and talismans.

But whatever it may end up being, ferryman is worth every last ironite spent. At least until they nerf them.
