Prestige Explained

[Toad]

Prestige is the best way ;)

[NukeMarine]

Great explanation. Some people will still not understand it, but with some examples they may get it.

 

**Edit thanks to answer later: Your Prestige Level does not change UNTIL you reset your ring UNLESS you happen to complete more floors than your current Prestige level **

 

For Example: You're level 21 and did every floor up to Floor 10. You reset your ring so your Prestige is 10. Unfortunately, you reset it again before doing a single floor *DOH*. Well, your Prestige is now at 0. Ok, no problem, you just go through the levels. Floor 1 you see you have 100 xp for the floor and 100 for Prestige (your Prestige is now 1). Floor 2 you get 200 xp for the floor and 200 again for Prestige (Prestige is now 2). Floor 3 you get more Xp for the floor and 300 for Prestige.

 

By the time you get back upto floor 10 (and Prestige 10), you probably got 5500 xp for the Floors and 5500 xp for the Prestige (average 5500 xp). The thing is, had you not accidentally reset your ring back to zero (ie kept it at 10 prestige) you would have been getting 1000 Prestige xp per floor. That's 10,000 xp for the Prestige and 5500 for the floors (average 7750 xp which is 2250 xp more than starting from prestige 0).

 

From this warning remember:

 

There are TWO numbers you need to worry about - Unique Floors Cleared (these are the floors with check marks by them on your floor selection screen) and Prestige. Reset Prestige each time AFTER you've done all possible floors once ie your UFC is at or greater than your Prestige.

 

From Level 1 Dungeoneering here's the steps (Assume you level enough to get to next floors):

 

Start - Prestige 0

Floor 1 Complete - Exit Dungeon and Reset Prestige (Pres 1)

Floor 1, Floor 2 Complete - Exit Dungeon and Reset Prestige (Pres now 2)

Do F1, F2, and F3 - Exit Dungeon and Reset (Pres now 3)

F1, F2, F3, F4 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres now 4)

F1 - F5 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres now 5)

 

Ok, you have Prestige of 5, but now you're time is limited so you can't go through all dungeons in one go:

 

F1 - F3 Complete, Exit dungeon

At ring, set the floor to F4 (DO NOT RESET!!!) and start (prestige stays 5)

F4 - F6 Complete. Exit and Reset (Pres 6)

F1 - F2 Complete. Exit but do not Reset (Pres stays 6)

Set to F3 and Complete F3 - F5. Exit but do not reset, (Pres stays 6)

Set to F6 and complete F6 - F7. Exit and reset (Pres now 7)

 

Ok, you got that, now you can get fancy, Prestige is still 7

 

Set to F4, Complete F4 - F6 and exit (Pres stays 7)

Set to F1, Complete F1 - F3 and exit. (Pres stays 7)

Set to F7 (the only one without a check mark), Complete F7 - F8, exit and reset (Pres is now 8)

 

The order you do the floors in does not matter. It only matters is that you complete a floor at least once, and that you reset your prestige when the number of floors you complete is at or higher than your current prestige.

 

Say this continues till about Level 50 where you stop leveling fast enough to reach new floors each Prestige run. Well, this could happen

 

F1 - F23 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres 23)

F1 - F24 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres 24)

F1 - F24 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres 24) Still didn't level enough

F1 - F25 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres 25) Leveled enough to get the 25th floor

F1 - F25 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres 25) didn't level enough

F1 - F26 Complete - Exit and Reset (Pres 26) got the levels

 

Now, you don't have to reset your Prestige, but you're costing yourself easy XP from easy floors and only half XP from the difficult ones. Jagex set this up to encourage you to do every floor you can at once every Prestige Cycle. Every time a new floor opens up, Jagex wants you to reset and reach it again from floor 1. It's just not forcing you to do it.

 

Remember, redoing the same floor during the same Prestige Run just means you don't get the Prestige points at the end of the stage.

[Robert_R]

Omg thank you... This is the only part of this skill I didn't understand at all and now it makes sense.

[Torlen]

Great explanation. Some people will still not understand it, but without solid examples they may not get it.

 

By the way, I assume that your Prestige Level does not change UNTIL you reset your ring.

 

For Example: You're level 21 and did every floor up to Floor 10. You reset your ring so your Prestige is 10. Unfortunately, you reset it again before doing a single floor *DOH*. Well, your Prestige is now at 0. Ok, no problem, you just go through the levels. Floor 1 you see you have 100 xp for the floor and 0 for Prestige (you expect that). Floor 2 you get 200 xp for the floor and 0 again for Prestige (what the?). Floor 3 you get more Xp for the floor but still at 0 for Prestige.

 

Until you go out and reset your ring, your Prestige is still 0. So, do you grind through 10 floors at 50% possible xp or do you reset your ring account for higher Prestige? Your call.

 

From this warning remember:

 

There are TWO numbers you need to worry about - Unique Floors Cleared (these are the floors with check marks by them on your floor selection screen) and Prestige. Reset Prestige each time AFTER you've done all possible floors once ie your UFC is at or greater than your Prestige.

 

**if I'm wrong about Prestige staying at zero until it's reset then I apologize. It just seemed to mesh with what I was experiencing.

 

It doesn't stay at 0 until you reset. You will just get prestige based on the number of floors cleared.

So let me make sure I'm right on this, if you're just starting off you would want to run it something like(This is assuming floor lvl = your lvl?)

 

Floor 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. and then at level 5 you don't level up with the fifth floor, you reset your floor and start back over at 1 with 5th prestige, but once you level up you should keep going. So say you reset and level up on floor 3, you would still want to do floor 4 and 5 instead of skipping to 6.

 

 

Am I getting this right or am I way off lol

 

You're getting it. You still have to do floor 4 and 5. If you skipped to 6 your current prestige will only be 4 because you only completed 4 floors.

But cant you just do 5 (after resetting) and lvl up to 6 from it, then do 6 then go back to 4,3,2,1 till you can do floor 7? since current prestige doesn't have an effect until you reset it again?

If you did floor 7 without completing one of the previous floors, you wouldn't have 7 prestige. Your prestige levels are based on how many floors you have completed since the last reset.

 

If you're asking whether or not you can: Reset with 5 prestige, do floor 5, do floor 6, 4, 3 (level up to 7), then reset with 7 prestige, it doesn't work that way. If you want 7 prestige, you have to complete 7 unique floors, meaning you would have to complete floors 1 and 2 as well.

Ohhh, I see it now, thanks

Great explanation :thumbup:

[All_Is_Great]

This is a great explanation, thanks, I totally get it now :grin:

 

But one thing I'm not sure about, is floor 1 the easiest? Then gradually gets harder? So you would get a high prestige, reset, then complete the earlier floors for faster exp than normal, right?

 

Also, logging out and leaving the party after each floor doesn't matter right? It's just the resetting that matters?

They're supposed to get harder, but I think there is a scale of difficulty that each floor can be on. I've definitely had hard floor 1's and really easy floor 10s or 20s.

 

Logging out and leaving party don't do anything except stop your progress in whatever dungeon you left, unless you completed it and left afterwards. Resetting the ring is the only way to get prestige bonus again on floors you've completed.

[SoulAttacker]

Still a bit confused.

 

Let's say I have 25 prestige and I have done all floors. Let's say that 25 prestige gives 3000 exp (plus level bonus divided by 2). When I reset and go back to level 1, will I get 3000 + level 1 / 2, and then for level 2, 3000+ level 2/2 etc ?

[Robert_R]

I reset my ring and went back to floor one and two to get the level I needed to progress to floor 7. If I skip to floor 7 and complete it will my prestige go to 7 also?

[Torlen]

I believe that you will get a prestige of 7 but for that floor only. If you did floor 1, 2, 7 then reset however, you would only have a prestige of 3 instead of 6. That's why it's best to do every floor that you can before a reset. Your previous progress (or current progress if its higher), is what determines the prestige bonus you get per floor.

It's been answered half a dozen times in this thread already.

[Kimberly]

As it's not intuitive. My first guess would have been to not reset prestige.

 

This has been my biggest issue with the Ring of Kin (or whatever that is) that allows you to navigate through the party interface. I understand there is only so much information you could jam into a tiny little menu, but I don't think the displays for Complexity, Floors, and Resetting should have been squished on the RoK menu. Had they given these things their own dedicated space, be it on the side menu or some other prominently displayed interactive item within Dungeonheim's lobby, there would've been more room for a better, more intuitive interface.

 

And heck, if they did that, maybe they could even throw in a little blurb question if it was a Freminik NPC who controlled these things. Like asking it "Can you summarize Prestige for me?" or something.

 

But TC, thank you for explaining this. I read over the KB quite a few times and still didn't get it. Not sure why, as I usually have good comprehension skills. Ah well!

[Torlen]

You're very welcome Ninae. I thought it was better understood until I read a few posts on the topics here. I'm glad to be of service.

That's why it's best to do every floor that you can before a reset. Your previous progress (or current progress if its higher), is what determines the prestige bonus you get per floor.

I did floor 1-6 and reset so my highest progress is 6 atm so what you're saying is my prestige will still be 6 instead of 7 at lower floors even after I complete floor 7?

Sorry I didn't go and read every post on here? Seriously don't reply just because you find it necessary to be an [wagon].

[Solartide]

Wait, are you promoting not reading the topic and just posting? I hate it when people do that.

[Robert_R]

What? I said I didn't go and read every reply every person made on this thread not the actual topic.

 

I read some of the replys and I think he exaggerated just a little bit because I can't find an answer to that specific question....

If you completed 7 and all of the floors before 7, then your prestige will be 7 after you reset. If you complete 1, 2, 3, 7 then reset, you would lose your bonus of 6 for a bonus of 4.

[All_Is_Great]

Sorry, just need one more confirmation:

 

Does the order you do the floors matter? Or is it as long as you do all of them.

 

For ex. right now i have a prestige of 12, i reset b/c i couldn't go any further. I've already done f1 - f3 again, can I join a party from say f7 and do up to f12, then go back and do f4 - f6 myself? This is the last thing I need to know :razz:

 

Thanks.

Yep, you'd be fine doing that.

[jettrider]

Thank you. I had been confused since the start, then I was starting to get it, then I thought I had it, and this confirmed that I got it right.

[jonni]

so just so i've got this right, i should reset now?

also i'm level 38 and there are two more rooms i could do (18,19) but i can't see them, do i need to complete 17 again?

[Rosanante1]

I have not even tried the 'skill' as yet, but looks like I'll be using this mini-guide for noobs :thumbsup:

[i_m_darkness]

Very well worded - 1st explanation thats made sense to me anyway

This. ^_^
