Best level 30 AE ticket roll?

Does anyone have any idea which roll is the most valuable use of AE tickets at level 30? All the advice I can find on the forum says it's best to roll 35-39. That's what I usually do, but I have some lower level toons I really want to play and I want to convert those tickets into inf NAO. I understand this isn't as profitable as using a level 50 to earn tickets, but fun is my priority here.

Are you talking Bronze or Gold rolls?

10-14 for bronze can have a pretty high payoff: you're fairly likely to get the nifty armor recipes--Karma -kb, Steadfast -kb and +def, Kismet +acc--or the Eradication/Basilisk rare "A's" or the Regenerative +regen proc. The trash is very trashy at this level, but the weighting of attack and defense recipes means your chances of these decent ones are less diluted at 10-14.

This will mean you are missing out on some very useful pool A's, though. Things like the Performance Shifter +end proc, or the Kinetic Combat or Touch of Death dmg/ends are only available in higher rolls than 10-14. You can see--sort of, it's a lot of info to digest--where certain recipes drop in and out of the rolls here: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Bronze_Class_Recipe_Roll

Rolling 30-34 has the most possible recipes available, if you like variety, but also the most trash, of course.

If you're rolling pool C's (gold rolls), 35-39 covers most of the big scores, though leaves out a few highly valuable available in the 30 and under range (Basilisk acc/hold/end/rch, Theft of Essence +end, Cloud Senses proc, Eradication acc/dmg/end/rch, and others). Rolling 30-34 will reduce your odds for a big score on pool C's (LotG +rech, Miracle or Numina proc, Celerity +stealth, BotZ -kb), but allow you to grab almost all the possible C's available.

Thank you very much, you two. Bronze 10-14 it is. Thank you for sharing this information instead of hording it to corner the market. :-)

Whatever is the most valuable, which is bronze as far as I understand, no?

If you're willing to (and have the time and space) craft the bronze rolls, I'd say it's a more consistent path to earning inf. On a 50 I can earn more than 100 bronze rolls in an hour of AE fighting, versus 2 gold rolls. I get a lot of slow set pool C's on merit/gold rolls (though I always roll in the less remunerative 30-34 range), which, shall we say, tugs the average down.

I would probably recommend rolling higher than 10-14, just to get a shot at Miracles, Touch of Deaths, and the Kinetic Combat rare pool A's (20-35); the Damage/End is a Big Score.

bronze is the most efficient pool for generating inf. the sheer # of recipes you roll pretty much guarantees you'll get good stuff that'll sell for a huge profit.

True, true. Every roll's a Basilisk that sells for 40M or vendor trash.
