Sportz Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Well I got 86 agil last week and finally moved on to gnome advanced course (was recommended I wait until 86, I know I could have at 85), and now I'm aiming for 90. Getting agile legs (top? I always mix em up lol) from gnome first, but after that, is gnome still the best experience? Pretty sure I heard about something new in the past few weeks, but too lazy to go try to find out what :S July 28, 2009 - 9817 to 99 HunterMarch 14, 2010 - 27,605 to 99 FishingJune 26, 2010 - 2000 Total Levels ReachedAugust 19, 2011 - 26,541 to 99 MiningMarch 29,2012 - 2200 Total Levels ReachedMarch 27, 2013 - All skills 85+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellac Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I haven't tried it personally, but the new Flash Powder Factory is rumoured to be the best agility XP in the game once you master it. Other than that, I think gnome is best until the no-fail level at the barbarian course, which is 92(?). You can boost using summer pies for the level. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature!

Sy_Accursed Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Flash powder is about equal to advance barb. Also no-fail levels are meaningless on advance gnome and barb; the xp isn't dented by failing on those courses.Gnome you cross anyway and get the xp. Barb you just go bk to start of the cartwheel pole thing and redo it til u pass and thus get xp.

Quyneax Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Except that each fail takes time, reducing xp/hr. Pies/potions are worth it until you can't fail. The factory goes up to 100k xp/hr apparently but it's much harder to do well than courses. If you never get high/max xp rates on courses anyway, you'll probably get more xp at the factory.

Ellac Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 In my experience, I failed about 1/3 of the time. It made a big difference using pies. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call that significant (also considering you can fail more than once per lap at advanced barb, I assumed 1 fail only).

bladekill133 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Agile legs are from gnome, top is from barb. FPF is not at all difficult to achieve a better xp rate than barb advanced, though achieving a better xp rate than barb advanced where you charge BA horn with a good team, is harder. It may also be worth considering that you need agile top for an elite diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I don't know if the grind at courses is a problem for you or not. I know it is for me, and its slowed down the same goal (except I am getting the no fail aura and using summer pies rather than going all the way to 90). I've put in a few hours at the factory, and I find its fairly easy to get good at it. Within an couple hours you should be able to figure out a style of play that can get you something around 60k xp/hr at least. I'm not up on all the meta game play, so I don't really know for sure how that stacks up against various courses (and using the barbarian assault horn). For me, its immaterial because I enjoy the factory most of the time, and I simply don't enjoy courses. And once you master the factory, well then the xp should easily be able to match or exceed whatever you are getting on whatever the best course for you is.
