An "Okay" Dungeoneering Guide

So I'm sure this isn't the best method, because I've seen other people get alot faster xp, but I've never even seen xp this good from a guide, usually just shitty little guides that doesnt tell alot but just gives a few bad pointers... So this is how I personally do it and on lower floors (1 - 39) I get around 100k xp/h and at higher floors (40-48) I get around 150k xp/h.

I am currently 97 dungeoneering, so if your lower leveled, you will obviously get less xp/h and higher will get more (I suggested this method to a friend with 110 dg and he claimed to get almost 300k xp/h). I also almost have max cape, so I can do almost all of the skill doors and puzzles, which affects xp I believe.

But this guide will go by thinking everyone who reads it has between 90 and 99 dg.

~Suggested binds~​

My binds are currently in the middle of finding better things. I currently have prom 2h, prom plate legs, primal chain, spirit bloom top, tyrannoleather top and chaps, celestial catalytic staff, sagittarian shortbow, and shadowsilk hood. But if your around my level and are lucky enough to get a primal maul use that instead of prom 2h. The only "loadout" I actually use are: Prom 2h, primal chain, celestial staff and sag shortbow with sag arrows.

What I actually suggest is:

1. Best 2h weapon you can find
2. Best ranging top you can find (this is to help when using rapid fire, otherwise use best plate/chainbody)
3. Best staff you can find
4. Best bow you can find
Ammo: Best arrows you can find

Optionally, you can replace the staff or top with a blood necklace if you can find one, I'm currently looking for one, but not exactly sure how useful they are since the EoC made it "not as good".

~Floors 1 - 20~​

These are C1 rushes. You just need to do these as fast as possible, only fight monsters if there is a guardian door. Do not waste time picking up food from the homeroom just start sprinting to the boss like its a race. My times are usually 1:30 minutes to 2 minutes per floor.

~Floors 21 - 39~​

These are C6 small floors. Same as the rushes. Race to the end, only kill monsters at guardian doors, dont worry about food, but on these floors, pick up food that monsters drop, but only salve eels or better. I personally usually finish C6 small floors in around 3 - 5 minutes depending on puzzles. Never worry about rooms you have to use a potion to open (such as doors requiring 102 in a level), just skip em.

~Floors 40 - 48~​

These floors should be done on C6 Medium. Pick up only the best food in the homeroom(salve eel+). Again, we're picking up salve eels or better when they are dropped by mobs as well. This one isn't quite as much of a race, kill weaker mobs even if theres no guardian door, at maxed combat, I would suggest mobs level 150 and lower, but don't worry about them if they are in a deadend, only enter the deadend if there is a key and just run past the mobs ALWAYS. As on floors 21-39, dont waste time making potions to get through skill doors or puzzles you cant do with your default skills. Even though we are now taking time to kill more of the mobs, you need to do so as quickly as possible. and try to get to the boss as quickly as possible, while still killing all mobs level 150 and lower that are not in deadend rooms. My time on these floors differ alot, I average at around 20 minutes per floor and 50k xp per floor, sometimes I can get lucky and get around 15 minutes per floor, if you can do this, you'll be making closer to 200k xp/h than 150k! thats a whole extra floor per hour, so just do them as quickly as you possibly can while also following these guidelines.

~Helpful Tips~​

Spam your skills(this should be done even on c1 rushes!) For those that dont know what skill spamming is, dont use your default attack AT ALL, as soon as you click on the mob, click on the skill (or his the number button associated with the skill) until you use it, then as soon as the skill is used, use another one and continue doing so until the mob is killed.

A lower tier maul is NOT better than an equal tier 2h sword. For example, if you have the choice of a gorganite maul or a prom 2h sword, use the 2h sword! And actually, as far as I know, after EoC, all 2h weapons are equal, so it doesnt matter if you use a maul 2h or spear of the same tier as long as it is the best tier you can find/make. It just depends on your preference of slash (2h) crush (maul) or stab (spear).

Use AoEs! AoE stands for Area of Effect. 2h skills have 2 of these. Hurricane and Quake. If you find that you are being attacked by 2 mobs that are close to you (usually meaning this works for melee only mobs) and your adrenaline is 50% or higher, use either quake of hurricane to do damage to both of them instead of taking longer to kill just one. Actually, if you just cant get into the habbit of using these AoEs, it might be better to use dual wielding weapons, as from what I have heard, in 1 on 1 combat they have a slightly higher DPS(damage per second) but I havn't really tested that.

~Skill Bar~​

This is just in my opinion the best set up. I use bar #1 outside of dung and it doesnt quiet fit this very well, so I start with bar #2 (Click the arrows above or under the bar number on the far right to switch which bar your using).

I have it set up so I mainly stay on bar #3 and use melee, but if I come across a situation where magic would be best, I just click the up arrow and equipt staff, or if ranged would be best, the down arrow and equipt bow.

Bar #2 - Magic:
1. Wrack
2. Impact
3. Chain
4. Combust
5. Dragon Breath
6. Sonice Wave
7. Omnipower
8. Sunshine
9. Regenerate
0. Soul Split (I've never actually used this in dung tho, never need it)
-. Torment
=. Fire Surge (to more easily right click and set as auto-cast)

Bar #3 - Melee:
1. Slice
2. Sever
3. Punish
4. Dismember
5. Smash
6. Cleave
7. Hurricane
8. Quake
9. Pulverise
0. Regenerate
-. Turmoil
=. Soul Split

Bar #4 - Ranged:
1. Piercing Shot
2. Fragmentation Shot
3. Ricochet
4. Dazing Shot
5. Rapid Fire*
6. Death's Swiftness
7. Regenerate
8. Deflect Magic (Just used as a filler because I didnt have anything else to put on this bar, just leave it blank if youd like.)
9. Turmoil (same reason as 8)
0. Torment (same reason as 8 and 9)
-. Anguish
=. Soul Split

* - this is by far the best skill out of all 3 bars, especially for bosses. It shoots around 8 or 9 shots and at 99 ranged, usually hits 1500+ each shot and they shoot about the same speed as throwing knives. However, if you click another skill or eat or run away, it will CANCEL the skill and you will only fire as many shots as you fired before clicking w/e you clicked and will have to wait for the skill to cooldown before using it again. However, in c1 rushes, this skill isn't even needed as it will kill most bosses in around 2 - 3 hits, and in c6 small, if you have 50% adrenaline when entering the boss room, you can usually almost kill (if not kill) the boss with just 1 use of this skill.

Not too bad

 

I just recently did another full run through from floor 1 - 49 and on the lower floors got about 180k per hour, and 200k per hour on the higher floors every floor. so i may have just had a slow day on them the day b4. lol

 

Thanks for the guide. I see you put quite some effort into it.

 

nice guide could use pictures etc color
