Dungeoneering to 85

[GlowinRedM]

 

Hello,

 

As you can see, I'm currently at around 59-60 Dungeoneering. The rewards I want to get are the Bonecrusher, Herbicide, Arcane Stream Necklace and Chaotic Rapier. I've looked around and level 85 should be able to get me these 4 items. I've mainly either been soloing (attempting a large on w117 for the last couple floors which seems to take more time than its worth), or doing dungeons at 2:2 or 3:3 mediums with friends and clanmates. How long will 85 take me (for tokens as well, so don't include bonus xp weekend) and how much am I looking at upping my melees with this? I dont want to stray too far off of the only-slayer training that I like (I already got 86 defence from it -.-) And PLEASE don't go on about the efficiency of the items I want to get, I already have reasons for getting them.

You are right, w117 is barely worth the time it takes to play. What I've suggested to my friends is to do dungeons on c1 then do your last 10-15 floors solo mediums. This won't be great exp (maybe 40k/hour over the course of 60-85) but it eliminates the w117 hassle.

 

From 40k exp/hour, going from level 60 to level 85 would take about 75 hours - a couple weeks to a month depending on how much you play.

 

Melee exp is significant but not amazing, from the ratios that generally occur you will get 1-2 levels in your chosen combat skill at that level over that amount of dungeoneering exp.

Thanks for the quick response! I did a large floor 24 and got a whopping 20k xp for it (with 2 deaths), is there any way you could suggest to find large floors for the last ones I can do?

Until you get into the high 70s or even break level 80 you won't really be able to join clan teams. With 80+ dung you will be able to join a lot of "random" teams on worlds other than 117 that have some better people in them. Until you hit that level I would suggest skipping world 117 altogether. You could consider doing the last couple of floors with 117ers because larges are worth so much exp (50-55k+ for floor 35 with 35 prestige, higher past that), but it's definitely not worth doing 10 larges every reset.

 

Also, with 85 attack you are limited to a gorgonite weapon which will not help you get into better teams. I would suggest investing some time in 90 attack if you try to go to dungeoneering clan teams. Also, if you find a Shadow Silk hood while soloing, BIND IT! It's much better than a piece of armour; otherwise, if you can't get a drop, bind your best platebody.

 

As a note...it's harder to find teams for larges under floor 30 and even harder to find them under floor 25. Those are some common cutoff points so try to stay above those to cut down on organization time.

Thanks for all of the advice!

Solo C1 1-15, smalls 16-25, medium 26-30 then larges at 30+

 

The BEST way to do it, tbh, is get some friends together and do the highest level floor you can do at large. Not only can it be fun, it's decent xp usually too.

 

Solo mediums are pretty fun as well and can rake in not too bad xp.

 

Good luck with your journey :thumbup:

This, this, and this.

 

It's also been suggested by Topgunmail (106 Dungeoener) from the Dungeoneering Guild that you should C1 Rush 1-11, then do Large Rushes (5:5) from 12-47. Yes, from F12. I'm not going to post all of what he said, cause I'm not sure if I'm allowed, but this is the Exp you can get from doing this:

 

The amount of exp can range between 2.2M to 2.8M. Therefore the exp rate per hour is 125k exp an hour.
