Hi. My query is whether the penance horn is worth charging for training agility or not? I read on the wiki that a full horn takes 16 circuits of waves 1-10 and lasts 680k bonus xp, but have no idea of the time taken to charge it.

The time u spend doing barbarian assault is pretty much depends on the team u r in.

Yeah, like said above, it's going to depend on whether or not you're in a team. Filling the horn takes about 10 - 12 full rounds (the full 10 waves) which gives you between 100 and 120 waved to fill your horn. It's said that with a steady, decent team you can fill the horn in 5 - 6 hours. A full horn lasts for ~1.2m Exp.

1.2m Exp takes about 20 hours of agility training @ 60k/exp an hour, which i would say is realistically achievable. With a full horn the same 1.2m exp is going to be achieved in 10 hours.

This means for each full horn you would save yourself 4 - 5 hours on each 1.2m exp. This pushes your Exp rate upto 75k - 80k exp/h.

 

So theoretically it should be worth it, but finding a team that would enable you to fill the horn in 5 - 6 hours is going to be a task of it's own.

Confirmed. This is a very accurate description.

I personally never got a decent team for all the 10-12 rounds. Usually it takes about 10 hours for me with short breaks.

This means i do 10 hours of B.A. instead of 10 hours of running in circles on a course. I prefer B.A.

Yeah playing on w6 with random team members is frustrating. You're going to spend a good 10 - 15 minutes finding a team worth playing with. Most of them have no idea how to quickstart after waves, so you waste another few seconds standing around waiting for the next wave to start.

All in all though, even if it takes you 8 - 10 hours to fill the horn you're still going to come out with at least the same exp rate you would have gotten had you not been using the horn. in this case it comes down to personal preference. Do you prefer BA or Agility?

 

Personally i enjoy mixing it up like that. I'll spend an hour or two each day filling my horn, spend the rest of that day on mining. Once my horn is full i'll do agility for a day or two, untill it's empty, then repeat.

With good people you can fill a horn in 4-5 hours or so, which is worth it. World 6 random teams are not fast or reliable enough to be worth it.
