Most monsters in L2 drop comparable amounts of adena, as proportionate to their level and HP. Some of them, however, are easier to kill, some are harder. Anyway, the adena/HP ratio alone is not enough to estimate each monsters value, so, let us consider other factors too.
One of the main features of Lineage 2 is a strict correlation between the monsters level, HP, and rewards that can be earned by killing this monster. Besides adena, each kind of monsters drops various materials and full items; their estimated default cost is supposed to be proportional to their level and HP. In practice, however, hunting certain monsters appears considerably more profitable compared to others, due to the difference in market prices for the items they drop. These are the cases:
The monster drops basic materials that are currently in great demand;
The monster drops key materials used to craft greatly overpriced equipment;
The monster drops expensive items at a considerably high rate.
At any given level, you can find a few monsters that will bring you time more L2 adena than your usual targets. You can find it out using two criteria: the absolute profit and relative profitability, i.e. the adena/HP ratio.
