Prestige Rushing: C1 or C5

[Zephy]

If I'm going to be rushing 1-20something small, should I use C1 or C5? How does C1 speed things up, and by how much? Is it worth the exp loss?

 

Thanks.

c1, basically you get all the gear and doors need no skills.

c6 doesn't take any longer..? Just buy hammer pickaxe tinder and hatchet.

Yeah pretty much...you don't get a hefty XP bonus cut for not really making it that much easier.

C1-C4

 

Here's why.

 

No one does C6 X:1 rushes.

 

W117 people usually do C6 5:5, which takes WAY too long. If you're doing C6 5:5 smalls, L2DG.

 

The pros do C1-C4 5:1 rushes. Now, whether or not C6 5:1 is better XP (which it probably is) is almost irrelevant. No one does C6 5:1's. All of the extra XP you get will be for naught, because YOU WILL SPEND TOO MUCH EXTRA TIME LOOKING FOR TEAMMATES.

 

The main advantage of C1-C4 is not only to finish those floors quickly - it's to finish them all in one sitting, and not having to find teammates.

 

Granted, if you have friends to do C6 5:1, or even C6 3:1 or 2:1, it may be worth it.
