Bxpprod Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Sagas aren't that bad the fourth time. Good thing I now know it's "repeatable content", right!?For that reason, I'm saving that task for after I get 86 divination. I'm not in any hurry to receive the aura and it doesn't hurt me to wait. I'd be surprised if they don't change it to, "Speak with Skaldrun after completing all Sagas" or some other BS. I will end you. Anyways, boosted the Div task. Longest part of the challenges was finding a door to portant through (got lucky with Frost Dragon though). In summary:- Loldg.

Poppet Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 These hard mode floors. I'm going to be so fabulous with all these blood necklace binds. Got 2 just from 1-11 floors. Like 10+ Edimuu and saw 4 Soulgazers without 99 slayer on the off path rooms. Shame the dungeoneering exp isn't boosted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krimi Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Does the boss-selection guarantee a t11 drop? I got saggy short and arrows off of skeletal trio in my first pick. Or was I just lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppet Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Shame the dungeoneering exp isn't boosted. Wait, what?As in hard mode is 1:1 with a normal floor. Which offers no real purpose for playing at it. Unless you want to do it purely for combat exp and/or drops in which case it's actually very good for both.

WHAT Well, maybe the increased difficulty is already factored into the base floor XP scores. Maybe. On the plus side, at least hard mode offers the title, which is pretty much the only useful thing I'll be getting out of it. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The amount of people surprised that the xp doesn't increase for hard mode amazes me. Hard mode is for players seeking a higher challenge than just speed floors. The xp you get after 60 prestige is already loaded and makes 200m fairly easy to obtain. The xp increase to the skill would be a degrading slap in the face. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!

Only if you care about xp. The design concept clearly favors the more challenging aspects in a novelty setting rather than a traditional setting. But the community cares about xp. And that's who, you know, the content was designed for. We have enough dead content, and it's hard enough to find a decent 5:5 team without requiring they've all completed the elite tasks AND don't care about xp/hr. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

I have to agree I can understand not making hard mode better xp:hr on the basis that it is meant to be an extra challenge for fun, but in order to give it life as usable content it does NEED to have better xp:floor to compensate the added difficulty and thus added time to maintain the xp:hr normal dg offers.

JeRambo Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 105 DG and you don't have a t10 ring? Tsk tsk. :P. Question(s): How long does it take to do 1-60 on hard mode? Are there more resources like fishing spots and logs? "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.

Squakus Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have t10 Blitzer (among others). #1 most useless ring. Does the aura have cooldown, or is it more like the gaze auras where you can activate/deactivate at will? As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapabale of solving approaches zero. Ensure you are not a social situation.

Poppet Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Finally got a hexhunter drop on floor 22. Somethings on how different floors are: :All rooms tend to have monsters in them. :Every room is considered a Guardian Door room even your entrance is blocked off until everything is dead. You can teleport out though. The boss room can't be teleported out of even after the boss is dead. :Puzzle rooms are rare, might not even appear if they can't spawn monsters in them, high chance of floors without "any". :Pretty sure off path rooms can still come up low but typically everything spawns high level even resources. :Getting upwards of 9k combat exp per room. I've been getting around 30k Attack Exp from the floor mobs using guide mode and avoiding off path rooms with times around 6-12 minutes each but I'd imagine you could do much better. Been using dual celestial for bosses though so I have no idea on their exp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have t10 Blitzer (among others). #1 most useless ring. Does the aura have cooldown, or is it more like the gaze auras where you can activate/deactivate at will? The aura has no cooldown for the easy,med, and hard rewards. As long as its equipped you get the bonus. For the elite one it has a cooldown 1hr + 4hr cooldown and all rewards are active while equipped (activated or not) except for the bonus prayer one. It makes you regain prayer whenever you bury a bone or use it on an altar. Everything else is active whenever the aura is equipped.
