12-Apr-2010 - Dungeoneering Skill!

[predator1030]

Finding teammates can be incredibly frustrating at times. I only recently started teaming since I was previously in a situation where I could only go on for short periods of time. It is definitely faster experience with a team, but not always as fast as it could be when you don't have a competent team.

Teamed with a level 116 yesterday who ran around with a fractite armour and weapon, didn't know how to do any puzzles, and didn't know how to kill the boss. On the other hand I found a level 115 who was maxed range, mage, defence, and a handful of other skills (including mining) who was very useful. Even teamed with a level 82 for a bit who knew what he was doing, even if he wasn't incredibly useful for combat rooms.

 

Well if you have a high cb level and have a high enough dung lvl to do all floors, i've found "Dannni" clan chat to be extremely useful in finding teams.

Anyone got any tips to maximize exp per hour?

I got all 3 combat titles :!:

 

I find 10 minute small 5 man rushes to be excellent exp, 35k/hour ftw.

The thing with 5:5 floors is that the team has little power while each individual player has a lot. You can threaten to kick someone but you may well be shooting yourself in the foot. Conversely, a single pissed off player can really wreck things for the team.

 

In the best case, this can be used to good advantage to bring wayward players in line. In the worst case, [wagon] players can sabotage the entire floor.

 

I haven't quit on a team yet, but I've been tempted. And I'll do it if I feel it is warranted. The next time I run into a team filled with selfish jerks who refuse to actually act like a team, I'm just leaving.

I've quit on my team on a large map after we found boss room. I was team leader, and I always make it clear that when I start a team, we play by my rules. Needless to say, nobody was listening, they were all doing their thing, and by the end I was just so pissed that I just quit on them. The boss was lvl 400+, and they pretty much had no chance of killing it. Later on, one of the more cooperative guys got on my cc and said they all just left the game after I did. So yea, you meet all sorts of ppl :thumbup:

 

Generally, 130+ teams are decent, but if you're 130+, stay away from lower lvls, unless you want to do the map all by yourself.

This is by far my favorite skill in runescape. what I like best is that it can appeal to all types of players. For the player who wants die-hard efficiency to level up fast, there are plenty of teams set up for just that. But I'm one of those guys who is here for the fun of it. I don't give much of a care for efficiency, i do low level floors just to be with a team and have some fun, regardless of the xp murder. I tried joining rush teams; i find that it takes all the fun out of the skill. It's hard to enjoy yourself when your teammates have the mentality of "kill only when necessary, don't bother with resources, and get through as fast as humanly possible". I'll be dungeoneering for a long time I think, it's just such a fun thing to be raiding a dungeon with a group of teammates.

There are only two reasons I hate this skill ( and won't play until they fix)

 

Dc'ing during solos... (hopefully they'll fix that with this weeks update..?)

 

And the prestige system... I can deal with this I guess... I'm just sick of frozen floors >.<

[anim7]

I feel that after reaching dung lvl 41, you should either solo or team rush the frozen floors and do 5 man mediums for the abandoned. That way, every time you reset, you gain 3-4 prestige lvls. Floors 27 and above should be 5:5 large. This is to maximize xp per time and minimize # of resets.

 

Once you are 69 dung, I'd say just rush 5:5 smalls all the way. It is so easy and with coordination, I can finish floors in 7 minutes. I feel like large floors have a big variance on the time to finish and plus, it requires that no one logs out, as chances of encountering mime or lever is higher.

With small floors, even if someone logs out, you only lose at most 10 min of work rather than 1.2 hours.

[qeltar]

Do you get significantly more XP rushing a low floor in a 5:5 compared to just soloing it? Haven't tried that yet.

It's between about 4-8k for f1-29

[qeltar]

4-8k for all 29 floors? Yikes. Doesn't sound much better than just doing complexity 1 solo for them all, and not any faster.

 

Do people usually do those floors on complexity 1 or 6?

[Den]

It cant be 4-8k for doing all floors. That cant be right.

 

I rushed floor 6 once, only opening doors from the start room to the boss and not killing any monsters I didnt have to and that got me 1k exp for that floor.

That would be solo though, it's more xp in a team.

 

And teaming seems to be faster than solo too if your teammates are any good.

Nonono, he meant for EACH floor, you would get that amount of exp.

Oh, good.

[qeltar]

Okay, that's definitely better than doing those floors solo on comp 1. Thanks.

Who would do floors on anything other than comp 6? :rolleyes: (Unless you were rushing to unlock a new floor.)

 

Speaking of which, contrary to popular belief, you only have to do your LATEST floor to unlock the next one, if you have the level. You don't need to have done all other "marked as undone" dungeons.

 

That's what I experienced when I unlocked F20-27.

[qeltar]

I thought the players rushing through floors 1 to "N" were going on complexity 1 to speed things up even more.

 

I haven't done 5:5 floors yet except for the higher-level ones.

No, you do it on c6. With a competent team, you can finish a small map in 5-8 min, which works out to be about the same exp as a 5:5 large. Whenever I solo a small floor on c1 I get like 500exp...and this is only worth doing if you have the odd floor you haven't done and cba wasting time looking for a team.

On the subject of titles. :P

What are "least harmful" and "party magician?"

[Sam]

What are "least harmful" and "party magician?"

 

Party Magician is most non combat magic I think, and least harmful is what it says on the tin.

[pulli23]

Party magician is most magic xp gained done without doing ANY other damage

I just got the rapier and tried it on a steels task with ovl + turmoil, and this thing just destroyed them. I was hitting many 50s and 60s (max 67), and few 0s. Definitely worth getting.

Makes super antis a good deal less useful then :sad: damn progress...

[ghjkl]

Rapier+defender=more wreckage.
