Few questions, few answers..

 

1. How many rounds does it take to fully charge the horn?

2. Is it more beneficial to just dump the horn charge for bonus xp, or to charge it to full?

3. Does the bonus xp work the same as xp from sof lamps?

4. Do the icons for the roles in BA get removed when you aren't in the game? I'm talking about the ones that appear under the hp ability tab.

4 - no once you've played ba they just lurk there.

 

1-3 using ba horn is horribly inefficient and made worse by ba being so dead these days. It is also bonus xp like fallen stars, not just xp like lamps.

 

For mining and fm you waste more xp charging it than you earn by just training straight through. For agility the best option in game (fpf) can't even benefit from the horn.

Uh... You may be a bit wrong there Sy. :P

 

Barb assault gives 320k bonus agil xp/hour with a decent team, and seeing as agil is ~80k/hour at the most, spending an hour to gain 4 hours of bonus XP is worth it, assuming you can get a team together. It's stupidly easy now, so just pick some friends, ask them if they want bonus agil xp, and go!

 

(I'm up for barb assault as long as I'm not currently killing a boss :P)

Yeah if you can get a team together that are any good it can work out fairly ok, but that is of course highly contingent on getting a team together in the first place, which can mean several hours of xp waste before you get going. This is where you then end up with worse xp rates from using horn than just doing fpf for all tht time instead.

Leech ba is always an option, as well. They seem fairly active, from what I've heard.

With the amount of no-xp-waste mentality players around, you'd think finding 5 other players who would want to save time doing Agility wouldn't be too hard.

You don't have to be standing around doing nothing in-game when trying to find people either.

Sorry to hijack but what is this Leech ba and how does it work?

You don't have to fully charge a horn anymore, I believe, just claim the xp when you're done. The bonus xp works as pendants did, or fallen stars, things like that.

 

I believe the BA stances stay until you lobby.

I'm game for it as well. I suppose you can bank as much bonus xp from BA as you want? So, 1 hr of BA = roughly 4 hours of agility..  So 250k bonus xp per hour from barbarian assault, then?

 

Also, I'm game for bossing as well.. I need to find people to do rot6 and vorago with :)

Thought about doing it for my agility, but I somehow stayed sane and got it done without. Sounds just like leeching in dg, stand around and get the benefits as they rush through.

A solid team is getting 400k+ bonus xp/h in Agility, so you can drop that down a bit of course. The "time spent getting a team" should be zero, unless you have 0 people you interact with at all times who are willing to do BA. Any time spent setting up a team that way should be done with little to no time (xp) wasted.

What is the fpf thing? (the best way to train agility?)

Flash Powder Factory and with BA being so OP for bonus agility exp there should be no reason to ever go there again unless you want the outfit. It's max 110 k exp/hr agility and very click intensive as well as having a learning curve. Agility exp with BA at barb advanced right now is closer to 128 k exp/hr if you can get 320 k bonus exp/hr at BA. If you have a really good team and can get 400 k its 133 k exp/hr.
