Congrats on that elite total level! :)

 

 

How do you guys DG so fast? My fastest solo c6 small is a depressing 20+ minutes. :wall:Gratz on 99 Craft and the leet total, Sub. :thumbsup:

 

Thanks for the comments. As for flesh crawlers I wont use them if I was you unless you play on foreign servers because you run the risk of running into 1 or 2 boters there in almost every English world.

 

As for Spiders there best to have 80 or 80+ def before training there . I too would like to know how you guys dg so fast . I need to get my solo time under 10mins for small floors

[levine1996]

Just broke my own record (and didn't butcher the screenie):

 

Obviously I'm no Misaki, but at least I have something to work toward.

 

 

 

 

Sub..I have a hard time believing that somebody with 113 dung can't get their solo times below 10 min :roll:

 

If you have specific questions, I could try to answer them. That being said, it appears that there are some tricks I'm not aware of considering that Misaki went faster on his first try than I did in a few hundred tries. I mostly do everything the same as how I'd key in a group. Not having to worry about other people picking up keys speeds things up, but less people clearing paths slows it down.

[Hedgehog]

In smalls/meds you want to do small paths first.

[levine1996]

Thank you, Hedgehog. I do pay some attention to that, but I also take into account what rooms will take the shortest amount of time.

 

If I have two paths open, and one is a monolith, another a fast gd for example, I'll do the gd path. Do you reccommend I scrap that strategy and always go for a shorter path first?

[Hedgehog]

Ya, since you do all paths anyway.

[levine1996]

Hm...an interesting idea. What if you were solely going for a fast time and not doing all paths?

[Hedgehog]

Then you'd just do the crit path.

[levine1996]

With guide mode off, however, your only way of determining that is to do the fastest paths, correct?

[Hedgehog]

The largest path is usually the crit path.

[levine1996]

Ah..something to consider. Thank you for that...Thats what I get for pretty much entirely teaching dung to myself :unsure:

[Hedgehog]

Consider reading Tui's guide to map reading and pathing: http://www.xp-waste.com/map-reading-pathing-t1315.html

[Misaki]

There is a more effective way in f2p to determine the bonus/critical path.

 

In smalls, the route to boss is at most 2 paths. Any other path is bonus.

HAI U FOG

F2p sucks now, no hiscores. ;c

F2P was ownage, rip

Btw gz legologie on 1.4k total 79 cmb

OT: Discuss Legologie's 1.4k total and Meneer Naab's goal to 200m all f2p skills.

Meneer was trying to keep it secret, but he loves me

[levine1996]

Hedgehog...that was helpful. Without a doubt more helpful for 5 combatter P2P-style dung that it was written for obviously. Still, it gives some insight into pathing for the more F2P-oriented 2cb3sk style of dung. It skirted on relevant for soloing, but still, thank you.

 

Misaki...I did a run just now bearing in mind that no more than 2 paths would lead to the boss, and it didn't seem to help me much :blink:

You're undoubtedly right, as I analyzed all the map after each dung, and it also clearly works based on your times, but how would I go about using that piece of info to speed up my floors?

[Hedgehog]

You should be a lot better at identifying paths after reading the guide. In smalls/meds you want to go do the small paths first, in larges the keyer sprees down the largest path, and the minions clean up the smaller ones.

[Misaki]

I don't know why you would do the smallest paths first if you're soloing a small, but ok...

 

Anyways, to be honest, I got lucky on my first small attempt. I think I would average around your times too levine if the maps were not as ideal. For smalls, time is very dependent on the floor + boss and it is very hard to improve your base skill to constantly pull off 2 minute solos.

[Makkaravelho]

Dear me, this makes me feel like I suck at Dungeoneering. Not that I don't.

 

I usually go for a good xp/hour ratio, don't really mind the time... haven't done it in a while so can't really remember my personal bests/averages. One 3:30 small for 10k xp I do remember, that one was nice by my standards :P

 

I suppose I should start working my way to 100 from 92, but just don't seem to be able to make myself do it :|

[levine1996]

Makkaravelho, If you're looking to get back into dging and I'm on you can always shoot me a message and I'll try to get a team together.

 

In case my many subliminal hints haven't done the trick, actually, I'm desperate for people to Dungeoneer with. This applies to anyone and everyone :^_^:

[LunaticSoul]

Well I've just started a new character after a long break, so I'm doing general F2P levelling at the moment. I was wondering, do these forums have a home server? Or could you tell me what F2P worlds are generally more friendly nowadays?

[Kaida23]

Welcome to TIF, LunaticSoul. :grin:

 

The Tip.It F2P world is w7. Personally, I haven't noticed much of a difference between the worlds as far as friendliness goes. There are a couple of good friend/clan chats you could join though, like 'Pure F2Ps'.

[LunaticSoul]

Cheers, I'll probably wander around w7 for now then. :) I'll see what happens with clan/friend chats later I think. It's odd to see how much has changed really, so starting again like this is a good refresher and learning experience.

[wormy]

What is the solo small bind setup?

I would guess cosmics over arrows

 

Other 2; spear rapier? spear gaunts

[levine1996]

I don't have the most efficient bind setup...I'm spear, platebody, laws. The laws are because I usually don't lead in a group.

 

The ideal solo small bind setup would be spear, gauntlets, cosmics. Boots at 100 dg. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

[Kaida23]

Personally, I went with spear, gloves and blastbox. But we all know how effective my soloing is. :P

[HunterDexter]

Hmm, is it really better to have a spear in F2P? Because I recently changed to 2H on my F2P pure and I didn't seem to have a lot off difference, then again, I only did a few smalls... So my observation is probably not accurate.
