Maxing circus xp

[Wkw]

How do I do this?

 

I have been doing the 99, 90, 80, 70, 60 tasks of each and only get xp for half of them, saying "you've already gotten xp for doing that"

[Sy_Accursed]

You are doing it wrong.

You do 1 of each level for each act.

 

So agility just go through each trick once.

Ranged do the five big stars on duck thingy then the five small ones on the wheel* - Some people muck this up because the strips run in opposite directs

Mage do all 5 teleport/alchemy then go and do 5 elemental/levitate - Some people I know mess up cause they do 5 alchemy 5 teleport; this is not right as it means u repeat the same 5 levels again.

 

*obviously you can do this the other way round too

[Georgelemmons]

Accursed is right. Start with the lowest level possible and work your way up.

[rthensley]

Accursed is right. Start with the lowest level possible and work your way up.

 

Why not pot up and then start with the highest level first?

 

That would give you the best chance of not failing and maximize your xp potential.

[Leoo]

Doesn't really matter what level you start with unless you are using potions. Just make sure you don't repeat the same level requirement more than once, even if you fail.

Actually, if you have the required level (and even if you're close) I think it's better if you do the high one until you don't fail instead of, for example, the level 10 or 20 trick, as those levels give minimal (a few hundred) exp, compared to a few thousand for a successful high level one, even if you fail it once or twice.

 

So I always do the high level ones and repeat them until I'm successful (up to 3, maybe four misses total in an entire activity, obviously I'm not going to spend all 10 trys on the lv 99 and 90 ones just to fail them.)

I will have to get that a try.

Its a flawed method in some ways.

Retrying failed tasks you run a high risk of wasting so many turns that you end up with less xp overall.

 

Magic: 3 attempts at 99 trick means you have to skip lvl 10 and 20. lvl 99 is 3530xp lvl 10 & 20 = 3025.5xp

So its barely an improvement and a 4th attempt would put u 2k xp less overall 10,20,30 is 5084.5 xp

 

Ranged: fits exactly the same. 3 attempts = barely better off, 4+ = losing out.

 

Agility: also fits the same; but worth remembering for agility 60+ all give same xp

 

tl;dr - retrying failed tricks is ok but NEVER take more than 3 tries at a trick. more than 3 tries means the tricks u'll skip total more xp than the trick u r retrying.

[Amonitas]

Sorry, but I don't know what this circus does, so is it like good exp or what?

[Sy_Accursed]

Its a distraction & diversion that you can do once a week.

It takes 2 or 3 minutes and earns you around 10k-15k xp in magic, ranged and agility.

[Amonitas]

Then it seems pretty cool. But it sounds crappy.

[Hegelstad]

Its not crappy, its incredible fast exp.

[Sy_Accursed]

Yeah 2 - 3 mins for ~30k - ~50k xp is pretty darn good.

Even on the msot efficient trianing methods for the 3 skills you can't get high enough xp rate to technically be better than the circus.

 

Since circus gives 10k - 15k for about a minute work it is technically 600k - 900k xp an hour.

And IIRC even the top end agility, ranged and mage xp methods are like ~300k xp/hr at most.
