Dungeoneering solo, C6 small or med?

[joey11223]

Just wondering which (small or medium dungeons) is better for max xp when soloing? I've heard some say if you're efficient and get meds to 20 min or below then they can be better xp then smalls but I'm not sure..

 

any opinions would be great, cheers. :smile:

I would say smalls since meds take way to long unless your high combat.

 

EDIT: Also you should keep in mind that sometimes a medium with many unopened bonus rooms will take longer then a small and get less xp then a small which can get very annoying

Meds, definitely. Should prob c1/c2 some of the lower floors. Dungeoneering pros(people who can do below 20 min larges) can solo abd1/furnished/abd2 meds in around 10-11 minutes average, all doors opened and next to no deaths, that's basically what you should strive for(but there are many tricks to be learned to get this good).

Well, i can't really talk about soloing with lower stats, although i was able to do around 9 min average frozen/abd1/furnished c6 meds on my f2p <50 dg 106 combat nub, completing as much of the dungeon as i could(alot of member doors/puzzles and high level doors), so it's really not that hard.

Also, mediums will prepare you more for larges.

 

Trying to cut down med times will really enhance your experience with ggs/personal ggs.

Larges are great too - but you do encounter higher chance of death (which can be completely unavoidable at times in any stage - really)

Definitely meds.

 

1. not all rooms are created equal. For every dungeon, you probably spend 1 minute at ht getting tk, making runes etc and 2min in boss. While for any other room apart from gd, it will only take you 5-10 seconds to run through.

 

2. doing smalls means you will have to reset more often, and c1ing will lower your exp rate.

If you struggle to get a medium to "under 20minutes" I'd advise you to just do smalls. Mediums should be completed in a max of 15mins I'd say, with the norm much closer to 10.
