With the recent "nerf" to exp rates there from the update before last, I was just wondering what the best idea is now for spanning, and also what the xp/hr is there now.

 

Thanks guys.

I've held off on replying to this topic since I don't have any statistical data and I'm probably training it wrong, but I did from 83-85 since update. I noticed a non scientific 10% drop in xp hourly, but what seemed like a higher drop in points earned. This may be to my change in methods and the difficulty one has prior to 85 with getting around highest level of runespan. I used to wait until I got a yellow or at least a blue wizard in general view before I hunted the yellow one down. Now I try to find a wizard when I get the message. This also means I am not in my choice of islands, and I have to spend a lot more tokens hopping around. I have yet to see a runesphere spawn on anything but the lowest level.

 

Now that I'm 85, I think joining those FC and syncing is important due to the update. Since they did not nerf the yellow wizard xp, I kind of assumed that became more important to find to get the most xp per hour.

 

It seems to take longer to get essence. A lot of the time I tended to just let my essence run out and grab more from a cloud or whatever it is. If someone has siphon success rates from the esshounds and other monsters from prior to update I can collect some post update and let you know.

I did a brief stint there getting rocks done.

 

Tbh method-wise it doesn't seem to of altered to much. You can still chase nodes nicely, in fact it's probably slightly easier since they do move a bit more; but the old camping spots still get enough nodes to be workable just lose maybe 10-20k xp/hr from old rates.

I'm assuming it's too recent to have gotten statistical data?

 

What are the good spots, and what is the friends chat?
