Dungeroneering - 3 people

[AuburnFury]

Hi! I was just wondering what people would recommend doing for 3 newish dungeoneerers (<?) haha. Basically we're all between 100-113 combat, all just over 50 dungoneering, is it best to do small complexity 6 until say like floor 18 then do mediums? Or is it worth knocking it down to complexity 1 to rush them?

 

What would be the plan for a medium dungeon? Rush it? Thanks, we're all enjoying the dungeons, but just wish we were getting bettwe xp, at the minute on a small complexity 6 dungeon we finish in about 7-8 minutes and get about 2k xp max is all :\

Dungeoneering really needs larges with 5 people for "nice" xp.. I'm often finishing 30 minute larges, which earn (at 98) about 80k xp at least.

 

But up to 60 you're more or less looking at very poor xp, and impossibility to find extra people for your team.

 

After 70 I'd recommend going the standard route, 1-30 c1 rushes. - 30+ doing larges. If you're with 3 people (who understand dungeoneering very well) already it is very easy to expand your team, many others are looking for decent teams. I recommend to do the standard method as for sub-30 you won't find many people who do larges, and those who do aren't "the best".

For a decent group at any level you will find that larger floors with more people are better xp/hr than smaller floors with less people. Also you will find that lower floors offer less xp and become 'obsolete' which means you rush them as quickly as possible on c1.

 

I'd c1 frozen, or maybe c2 fishing if your fishing level is decent (70+). For the other floors it's up to personal preference & how much you like or dislike the bosses.

I never got the point of C1 rushing. Is there any evidence that doing c1 is better then just c6 rushing? Because at higher prestiges those smalls can fetch some decent xp and c6 dont take THAT much longer. (dont you also have to quit every dung to switch back to C1?)

You've been able to do straight c1s since forever :P. Yes, there is evidence c1s improve xp/hr, although 1-30 is rarely exactly the best, but it's a convenient standard.

How do you do straight c1's? When ever I do it, it always gos up a complexity every floor.

Actually since batch 2 of dungeoneering..

 

Before batch 2 you could start at c1, next dungeon would be c2, next c3 etc etc.. - Back then doing c6s was faster than doing c1s.

I guess I jsut have never done pres runs since batch 2

You can always try to find some people to try C6 Larges?

Maybe grab 2 other people from your clan or something?

 

I figure if you & your friends learn some of the things essential to dging (for good time & xp/hr), your dging later will be much easier.

Learning how to do most if not all the puzzles now will greatly contribute to your floor times later.

Also establishing some roles on your team (if you're going to dg together often) now will also help later.

-> This is not to say that everybody shouldn't be learning how to do things but if one person was especially good at keying and remembering doors as well as delegating tasks, etc

 

Is there anybody who can clarify - when exactly did this c1 1-30 come about?

I'm a little confused by parts of it and I'm not 100% sure that this is a good idea (even at higher levels)

For example,

I'm not totally convinced that Abd2 floors are much better then Abd1 floors

-It's quite easy to do Abd1 floors without any deaths (despite to some extent how competent your teammates are)

-But for shadow forger/plummer - w.o a team that's smart and knows what they're doing, your deaths will pile up like crazy.
