12-Apr-2010 - Dungeoneering Skill!

[Demoli]

solo/duo small dungeons is pretty nice exp if you ask me, just remember to prestige noce you get to the max floor :thumbup:

[Grimy_Bunyip]

Has anyone determined which size dungeons are the best for xp rates? Solo small dungeons, duo small dungeons setup for 1 or 2 players, trio large dungeons? Solo small but then duo medium size dungeons on the higher floors? Looks like the top ranks are pulling 400k xp / day. Does anyone know how they are doing this besides the obvious fact of playing 12 hours+?

i've been getting 20k xp/hour on.

duo set @ difficulty 2 medium maps

both players bounded promethium spear p++ and platebody

 

i tried soloing and trioing @ difficulty 3, medium map

but neither was as fast as difficulty 2:2 medium

 

also tried 5 man, difficulty 3, large map

that was horrible xp

 

yet to try 5:5:large and 4:4:large

[xSxqPowerx]

Woooooooooooo got a promethium spear drop from a forgotten warrior! Finally I can stop running around with a katagon rapier... The spear owns - was hitting like 550 on the boss of that dungeon.

[atestarossa]

My favorite is duoing medium floors. In my experiences this is quite faster than soloing. Another bonus is that you get more xp per floor, which means you will get to a lower floor before having to reset.

I'd perhaps say that duoing small floors are best the first 15-20 or so levels, then doing medium (or even larges if you can get a good team with enough people, I never can)

[Hajutze]

If my current prestige is 12 and the old one is 20, if I reset will the new value (12) override the old value (20) or the bigger one will remain ?

[Overdoziz]

It will override it.

[Zepheras]

When I was training Dungeoneering in F2P, I realised one thing: You don't see any one weapon being the most popular weapon among players!

 

If you compare the stats of dungeoneer fractite weapons with rune class weapons, you'll find that the the fractite rapier is a similar to a rune sword, except with slightly better slash bonus. Fractite warhammers are have a higher strength bonus than the rune counterpart, such that it's more comparable to battleaxes. Longswords, battleaxes and warhammers are of equal status and sufficiently better than rapiers, all requiring two bars to smith, and each serves the purpose it's meant to; longswords for stab + slash, battleaxes for slash + crush, warhammers for crush only. Fractitle spear for its versatile combat style (my favourite weapon), and mauls + 2h swords for the berserker-like players.

 

If the rune and dragon class weapons have this kind of change, I'll be very happy. :grin: This is the kind of rebalancing I've always wanted.

 

EDIT: Even the Dungeoneer ranged equipment are more balanced. Longbows/shortbows have more suitable stats than those we have above ground. More accuracy bonus for longbows, instead of giving the same bonus to both long and shortbows. Ranged armour reduces melee attack bonus.

Has anyone noticed this shield?

A friend of mine had it so I looked for it in the KB and apparently its stats are (attack bonus)

+55 stab, +72 slash, +84 crush, +44 mage, +60 range

 

That is outrageous. :|

 

edit: a few people I know that are 70+ dung use 2:1, duo at 1 difficulty

it's a typo, i just got one for a drop

no offensive bonuses on it

[84300zxturbo]

Wow I don't get this skill at all. I'll play through dungeons for several hours for a couple hundred xp...

 

In other news, theres over 200,000 people playing right now!

[pulli23]

wooot got a flameburst defender drop :P

 

But the stats in the KB aren't correct: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/dungeoneering_slayer_tables (says +50 str)..

 

while ingame it is +5 str. Guess the daggers are typos too?

The way this skill works, with more prestige as you clear out floors, your experience rates will increase massively as you level. Also, as your personal skill get better, you'll be able to do dungeons more efficiently, and that will also help your experience point rates :)

yup

[Saru Inc]

in regards to Atestarossa yeah, I think when you get to like lvl 98 the xp will b e amazingly high.

Wow, I don't remember that happening since 07.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why some of the rewards require such low levels? At a 10:1 Xp to token ratio, with the lowest reward (gem bag) costing 13k tokens, you would have to be at least level 52 (and a half) to be able to even use it. Let alone bonecrusher. If there is a way to get 120k tokens at level 21, someone let me know.

[Demoli]

The token system is pretty nasty now, the only rewards that justify their lv requirement are the chaotic weapons, all the others require waaaay higher lv then the required due to the token system.

 

I wouldnt cash in tokens right now, the batch might be weeks away.

We're all wondering the same thing. There clearly was supposed to be some way to obtain tokens other than through the 1 token per 10xp thing, but then they didn't do it. Why else would they assign levels to the rewards this way?

[RUNESCAPEfantasy]

well right now im aiming for the argury(how every you spell it) pray scroll and that needs 1.9m xp so i do hope the xp token ratio gets lowerd

[Demoli]

I spell it Au-Gyu-Ry

Does anyone else think that this skill could use some type of deposit box in the starting room of the dungeons?

 

I think its pretty cool that you can like, assign people just to farm+cook potatoes for the party and stuff like that, or make potions, or make armor.

 

But the system right now is a little clumsy. You either need to drop items one at a time, use them on the tables one at a time, or go through the process of opening trade (which takes a lot longer that simply depositing the things in a bank deposit box). Also inventory space is a pretty big thing in this skill, and often times people have to drop things and stuff just to try to make trades.

 

Yes no?

 

Also does anyone think it is a little strange that you cannot buy any herbs? I mean, they let you buy up to teir 10 food, ore, leather, but you cant even buy the stuff to make some basic potions? Theres some bosses where it would be really nice to use a certain potion, but if you just dont get the herb drop in the dungeon you are SOL. Also I think it is unfair that you could have a door that requires say, 104 mining (or any other skill 100+), and there would still be a chance that you dont even get the right herb in the whole dungeon so that you can actually boost your stat?

yes!

 

does anybody else think that we should be allowed to bind more than 1 stack of runes? <_<

YES.

 

I've only been doing solo so far, but this would help keep the piles of supplies I might need (lol, I drop them in the starting room) more organized too.

[Myweponsg00d]

 

yes!

I think we could use some type of system where you can bind a TOTAL of 125 runes, but you can split that up among 2-3 runes. So you could take like 50 bloods and 75 fires or whatever.

[9276wizard]

The rooms need icons so you know where to fish, mine, pray, etc.

 

Apart from that I find it quite enjoyable. Slow exp though, only at lvl 13 now.
