Dungeoneering

[Meizter]

Heya!

 

When im not wcing im doing some Dungeoneering with a friend, and we both are at lvl 47 and we doing medium and at floor 24 something. But we are gaining around 2500-3500XP and it takes around 45-60min for each floor we do.

 

How the heck do u guys do? i bet ur earning alot more xp, if not how can u guys lvl 120? ^^

 

Thnx

45-60 minutes is quite a long time for a duo medium floor. I take it that you are collecting resources and/or clearing dead ends? If so, you should stop doing that as the extra time taken makes it slower xp/h even though the xp/floor is higher. Also, are you familliar with how to do the various puzzle rooms? If not, this guide should help http://www.xp-waste.com/puzzles-t806.html

 

You may want to use tears of guthix and resource dungeons in order to reach level 50, this will allow you to bind 2 non-ammo items. These should be your best two hander (promethium in your case), and your best platebody (gorgonite), though if you see a shadow silk hood (obtained as a 1:40 drop from night spiders) then you should bind that instead of the platebody.

If you need help getting these binds, then try the "Dung Smith" fc. Getting at least a tie 1 berserker ring will help too (and only costs 135 tokens). Though the higher you get this, the better.

 

The experience you receive per floor will increase significantly as you get to higher levels (it will go up every 2 levels).

Okej, so should we just find the boss and kill it asap we sees the boss?

[homer205]

No, you should endeaver to do all of the rooms (for the 13% bonus mod), though if a door is going to require a potion that you haven't got the ingredients for and won't be able to make with minimal fuss, or leads to a dangerous room (such as ramokee etc) and the bonus is going to be relatively small (you can estimate this by looking at the map to see how many more rooms that path could reach, medium is a 4x8 grid), then you should probably skip it, this is more of a judgement call.

 

What I'm getting at is don't waste time making armour/fishing and cooking food etc. And don't kill the monsters in a room unless it's a guardian door.

It needs to be noted, that at lower levels (such as yours), the hourly xp rate is incredibly poor, but once you start to reach levels it increases at a dramatic rate.

There are some exceptions to that depending on SSH hood and levels though; eg in many puzzle rooms a high level monster should be downed to avoid mass damage and food waste while solving and killing off the odd mage in some rooms to keep ssh working can be useful when you do need to gather fish or armour (because as much as you say not too some of us do need to, especially if you lack an armour bind and/or soulsplit) Or atleast the floors I've done duo/group have been done that way with clan mates and we got some serious dgers who actually do the really good fast times.

[Meizter]

Okej guys. And yeah i think we do need to make some armour/fishing etc for some bosses, also summoning. it takes more time, but sometimes its hard bosses so we need food/armour :)

 

How does it work if i want to grp with high levels, do i get better xp, and u worser or how does it work?

 

thnx

[Sy_Accursed]

Well bigger groups make xp better in general.

Eg 5man floor is more xp than a duo.

 

But beyond that you don't impact each others xp really your prestige is what largely decides your xp plus your deaths obviously impact.

It can impact logistically slightly, eg equipment difference and level differences may mean the lower level slows things down a bit in their need for more food to survive; but unless your are really really dire it shouldn't do much.

You can't kill a mage before it dehoods at least some of your teammates, and should be using the obstacles in puzzle rooms to avoid damage as much as possible. There's really very, very few instances where you should ever have to mgt to a puzzle to clear it (like non-hooded 2nd page rape polter).

[Meizter]

Alright, see if i can find a few highlvls players that want to grp me, or else i go solo or with my friend =)

In regards to your slow floors - are you dealing with bosses correctly? Like for example, Har'lak the riftsplitter is very weak to mage, but very difficult to kill with other styles.

Rswiki might tell you some weaknesses of the early bosses. (Though it tends to include too much - it says Har'lak is weak to range, magic, and stab)

 

Bosses from Abd1, Abd2, occ, and warp are included in this WIP guide:

and only if the world is [bleep] laggy (like 138) and "please wait..." takes 30 seconds

She asked if you're using the right attack styles, not that you're killing them (that's assumed).
