Replacement for Demonic Crypts?
#69005 - 07/20/08 10:44 PM |
Alright I'm tired of messing with it and want to get it over with. Steele is at lvl 84. I've completed all the quests up to Rats. Still working on those with Bogey every so often. So I pose the question to you all. Is there a replacement for Demonic Crypts? Bogey spent way to much time there when I was on the hunt for lvl 100. I can't really think of anywhere that suits the bill for a small fairly straight forward run that can be done quickly and rewashed a dozen or so times an hour. Seemed like the ones off Shadows now were more squared off than a straight run...and back tracky  Any imput over the next couple of days would be nice since Wednesday starts my vacation of 8 days at home...can't really afford to go anywhere this year.... and I would at least like to hit 90 by next week.

I can't stand grinding, personally, so I just ran HDoL. Great experience and good loot. |

Yeah, I can't think of a place to equal DC, but HDoL is always dependable. In my opinion it can be nearly as fast as DC in xp gain. Plus, if you clear a whole level, you can rack up 10k xp or so without a reset. |

It's not quite as fast, but I found Balzack 3 to be well ok. -------------------- May The Rainbows Drop As Cows From The Sky HDoL.eu - Horrific Domain of Legend - A Dungeon Runners Fansite |

Quote: my thoughts exactly, i've been running balz 3 with my alt, pleveling a new noob of mine along with me, 2 birds one stone. With keeping track of my noob, i can get about 2 or 3(maybe close to 4 even) runs in an hour. Raking in around 3000-3500k ex per run. I imagine i could probably get in around 4-6 runs in an hour. Doing dc was great, but the mobs were so close together, if you cought the attention of a second or even 3rd mob(i had this problem quite a bit with bill) you can find you self i a sticky situation, like chugging a couple stacks of potions sticky. So I'm liking balz 3. Since there is always the off chance of finding our increasingly elusive and stock cut back sally, thats a bonus. But unfortunately there are no relics for balz yet so if thats something you want to get in the process, embercore 3 is always reliable there as is shadows 3, sally and relics included...but of coarse you knew that. I just like an efficient xp running ground, xp isn't always top goal, getting the kcs, gold and sally is good motivation to slow it down a bit. CloneofNinja recently achieved level 100, very quickly i should add. I know he's been playing a lot since classes are out for the summer. But you should ask him where he's been running. -------------------- Cysira Level 15, rating and win count mean nothing to me. |

The Nether Crypts off of Balzacks Burrow lvl 5 might suit you needs, It's small and scales well but I dunno if you're too high a level for it or not. I'm currently at lvl 71 and when I solo it, it will on average give me 2.5 to 3k exp per run if I milk it right and set it on normal. About 12500-15000 exp per hour more or less with an average of 4 runs/hour.. If you want, look me up when I'm in-game and I'll take you there and you can run it once and decide if it'll work for you or not... bring a WP Compass "Just In case"....  YMMV... |

Ive herd the Hax0r area sub-dungeon thing is REAL good for xp, and is almost the same xp/time as demonic crypts if you do it good. I believe its somewhere at Balzack.. |

thanks all:) i appreciate the input... HDoL has always been one of my least favorite places but if it comes down to it... Took Bogey from top to bottom 6 times in the last year and a half and haven't really went there unless the group wanted to. Balzack's 3 is a little big for my needs i think. Small fast dungeons.... Will back track and check Nether Crypts and Hax0r tomorrow night and see how they run... I figure if i can settle in somewhere at a steady 10k per hour with out having to worry about the money I can easily make 90 on my days off.... that is if i don't get a bunch of honey do's...and the rootcanel on Thursday doesn't put me under for to long....

Check 2 possibles today.... Crypt's R Us 4 runs time per run averaged approx 14 minutes xp per run was a comsistant 2085 total xp per hour would be around 8200 Nether Crypts 3 runs (wife came home and caught me playin) time per run averaged approx 14 minutes xp per run 2118 - 2148 total xp per hour would be around 8400 Now both of those are totally descent xp per hour as I had pointed out to me. But, using what limited brain power I have available and the calculator on the pc that figures out to just under 45 hours to hit lvl 100 from the point I'm at now:) Now the wife loves me bunches but, I really don't think she's gonna let me spend 2 of my 8 days off playin DR:) Continueing into Rats to see if I can find a nice spot there.

Bogey, YMMV but for me personally, I've been running and rerunning the library side area that's on level 7 of the Gulag. I constantly hit the "7 Branch Banned Farmer", "Mors Drink", "Thirsty for Mors", and "Vegrim's Ghost" quests at the same time so I have a pretty good take of KCs and cowbell while I do it. If I don't use chat and just keep killing I can gain at least a couple levels a day. Actually probably more since I've not actually run and not used chat yet. lol -------------------- EthanGilchrist | Lochlain | VoxMortuum "I wouldn't wanna live, in a world without grudges." --Jack Terrycloth |
