When I solo I play like this: I first collect all the supplies I've been given and sell them all except for the high tier food which usually earns me around 6k cash. I then buy a novite hatchet and pickaxe, a tinderbox, a fly fishing rod, a hammer, 15 feathers, a knife and antipoison. I then buy as many rune essence as I can with the left over cash which usually is enough for around 90 casts of fire surge. And the monsters always drop plenty of rune essence and there are multiple altars crossed over the map so I never have to walk far to the nearest altar to craft some new runes. I like maging in Daemonheim. Fire Surge hits really good down there, and more accurate than melee from what I've seen when I duoed with a friend who is maxed out and was using a tier 10 spear :thumbup: What's the use of buying/making a higher tier hatchet and pickaxe by the way apart from the increased attack points? I do just fine with the novite ones against the bulwark beast and when I have to open doors and such.

I don't think any of the chaotic weapons have a special attack. They don't show up on the Special Attack page on the KB. From the looks of it the crossbow and mainly the chaotic staff are utterly useless. They're mere garbage :-(

Good luck on 99 Dungeoneering then. I'm still loving the skill. I've subscribed to P2P and I'm getting double the xp now. I'm level 48 :D

Yeah I know... Magic is good in PvP but when it comes to bosses it's not good. But let's go back ontopic now :P

Yeah I know he is very easy at that combat level. I was merely looking for a picture to unspammify my previous post.

Lunar staff? Really? Yeah why are you using a Lunar Staff? I wanna know that too. So much for a balanced combat triangle :P I only had to ate 3 bouldabasses.

Yeah I agree that it's not good in PvM.

Magic is the most powerful skill in PvP. It's the most accurate combat skill and it has a max hit of 484 with Ice Barrage. Melee gets completely crushed if they're fighting a Mage that knows what's he's doing even if the meleer is wearing black d'hide or Karil's. It's true that Magic barely has any K0 potential, but Magic works via DPS. Magic is very underestimated. http://[Use Quick Find Code]/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?181,182,815,60825261,goto,1

mage pots don't boost your damage in the dungeon (or at least not as much as they should). I had my 30% boost staff + super magic pot and didn't hit anything out of the ordinary I think you're right. I just finished a floor with a friend. We both fire surged ourselves through the floors (which went insanely fast) and I was wielding an empowered fire staff and had drank a strong magic potion, yet I didn't hit over 358. I'm guessing the damage boosts are capped at 25-30% combined or something. A question to everyone: in most screenshots being posted so I only see that everyone is meleeing in the dungeon. But why? Magic is extremely accurate there if you're casting fire surge and it's a lot faster than meleeing everything. Although some of the bosses have an insane magic defence, such as Stomp.

Wow I drank a magic potion and it boosted my Magic by 25 levels. That's a 75% damage boost! Stack it with a 30% damage boost staff, and you'll have a 105% damage boost! I'm confused about prestige. As of now I'm level 38 in Dungeoneering so I have one more level to go until I can enter the next floor. What I am doing right now is clearing floor 19 over and over (and resetting after every completed floor) until I've advanced a level. Am I doing it the right way?

Edit: oh wait never mind, it seems that I'm quoting a very old message.

I really hope they buff up the Chaotic Staff and change the new Augury prayer. The Chaotic Staff is so useless right now. It takes 4 million xp to buy one and it only has 1 more point in magic attack than the SoL does, it has no special, no rune saving ability and has the same magic damage boost as the SoL. Buff the damage boost up to 20% and increase it's magic attack to +25 or something to make it worth spending all the tokens on... Then there's the Augury prayer which is a big disappointment. It actually is more of a help to meleers who are running from Mages because of the insane 25% magical defence bonus. It only gives 5% more accuracy than Mystic Might which is unnoticeable. Give the Augury prayer a 5% damage boost, and reduce it's magic defence to 15% or something. Sometimes I really wonder if the developers have any idea on how Magic really works...

"The last three skilsl have been falures" Says who? I like Dungeoneering a lot.

I melee everything without armor and I do fine. I feel it's a waste of time to mine the fractite ores and smith your own armor or to runecraft your own runes. It takes quite a lot of time. I was using a spear for a while but I find the 2h sword to be better. I hit harder and more accurate. I slash everything, except for warriors and bosses, for which I use crush.

It's a bit unfair that there are P2P doors on F2P dungeons... it can really hurt your XP.

The Chaotic Staff is completely useless... I hope they'll boost it's damage to 20% and it's attack to +22 or so...

:???: Why?

I posted that message before you and me played together. I was level 6 back then.

I'm level 29 in Dungeoneering now. I've gone from level 6 > 29 in 2 days lol. Soloing isn't very fast but most of the people I meet in lobby tend to leave after a while when they can't catch up with me. I just equip my Tier 5 spear, purchase a pickaxe, a hatchet, a tinderbox, a fly fishing rod and 10 feathers and go through all the rooms very fast.

I've added you if you don't mind, because I'd like to play Dungeoneering someday with you. :thumbup: I'm level 24 in Dungeoneering right now and I'm loving the skill.

We can play Dungeoneering together some time, although I'm only level 6 :P I'm currently playing a different MMO called Grand Fantasia. It's very cool. It's a bit like WoW, but it's FTP and so far I haven't seen any glitches. Classes are well balanced and levelling isn't all that tedious. You mainly level through completing quests.

And acting like more than 3% of people who pk do deep wildy pking is stupid. No one goes into deep wildy with only 1 type of attack unless they are stupid. So magic can win a safe dm? <-- usless for this thread. Howbadisbad, do you really think this hasn't been tested in dangerous PvP? Of course we have and Magic owns every single combat style in deep Wilderniss. Melee can't win againt a Mage (even without farcasting), Range still loses even with a HC. And Mages can't be K0ed either because of the rocktail brew technique. It doesn't matter if you hybrid the Mage. As long as the fight is allowed to last, the Mage will win and since you can't just easily run from a Mage in deep Wilderniss you will die.
