Should add Ac nav to your exploration tools list.

nice, thanks

Good job. This is a nice guide.

Very nice guide any chance of adding some thing like the exp/hr for a solo guy next to each dungeon

For now, I'm only doing that with the Powerleveling Guide. That's waaaaaaay too much work for me to do currently or else I'd give it a shot. Another problem is that it wouldn't be very accurate since I may have awesome equipment to test with while another guy might have sub-par stuff. I would be able to kill several times faster.

I have some suggestions of things you could add.


1) Protections you need

2) The type of monsters in dungeon

3) Weapon skill needed to hit monster

4) Melee/misssle defense skill needed to evade

5) What lvl spells the monsters cast

6) Do the monsters use hollow weapons

7) Are the dungeons recallable


Otherwise it's a great guide.

The Dark Lair (No Restrictions) [Marae Lassel: 43.8N, 68.4W] Bludgeon


That should be more in the 1-20 range then in the 20-30 range. Lots of low level olthiod in there up to.

well, for xp/hour


it does depend on a few things other than gear you have: are you looting and salvaging?


i know when i'm in OHN at level 35 (no imbued weapon) i'm only getting about 1.2 million/hour and i'm looting and salvaging


whereas in BSD i'm using a CS Fire weapon and not looting, and i'm making almost 4million/hour solo (if i have the dungeon to myself)


i'm curious how the 40-60 matron hive is for xp though, anyone?
