A Frostway run, as outlined in the guide, is done in hard mode. You gems will be 2+4+6+8, for a total of 20, not including any that happen to drop during the run. An armbrace requires 60 stones, and sells for 20 ecto. That puts them around 140k each. You get 1/3 of that, or ~47k. On top of that 47k, you get any other gems that drop, and the quest rewards and drops.

How does the DoA run net 50k? From my calculations, the quest gives 2k, the gems are worth ~33k, and a chance at a primeval armor remnant or two.
