Where to level up classes quickly?

[Leaposte]

Good afternoon. I want to know what are the places where you can gain experience for classes efficiently. I have been fighting in the Underworld arena but you don't gain enough experience unless there is a group of people.

Daily boss area on red server is usually OK because there is almost always people there killing. Some daily bosses like cursed cay or gorehambe can be less useful though.

Random dungeon (from adventure menu) can be OK too. Short dungeons with decent kill speed even solo and there are often a few other people running them.

The Berzerker daily quest area can also be good if you can sustain killing fast. The enemies there have relatively low health but high damage (they're berzerkers weeee). Just kill the trash and leave the boss alone so it doesn't update the quest and lock you out of re-run. Use travel to go back to class trainers and restart after you run out of enemies. If you DO aggro the boss, he forgets you if you get close to the entrance so you can reset him easy enough.

Depending on if you can find enough people running them, the barrow point dungeons are pretty good. The can be a slog without enough people to make them easier to area kill in though.

I just rotate random dungeon till I get undead army with the giant demon boss or elemental army random adventures, since those in my experience gave a decent ammount of exp with the least amount of time and effort. Just make sure you have a AoE to clear them fast all at once, like the Warrior's Shared Class skill. Elementals gives you the most XP per run as far as I know. I did all the calculations a year ago, and the discord channel that I posted them in got shut down. So dunno if there was any changes since. Too lazy to recalculate and I maxed out the majority of my classes already so can't get the proper calculations again without a new character or class. I might try out Handoiron's suggestions to see how it's topping off.

There have been recent changes to XP so it might be different now but the berzerker class daily area is basically the same area as the random dungeon you mentioned with the undead army except that the enemies have less health and you don't have to fish for it.

The random dungeon elemental area has way too much down time running up through in my experience and also the issue with having to fish to get it as the random dungeon.

Still, with the recent changes, it might be different now. I just know that when I've compared pure out XP per time (20 minute class XP booster duration) the berzerker class daily dungeon outperformed everything else I tried including other dungeons like barrow point and running random dungeons.

I went ahead and did some data collection. XP and enemy health values are at character level 31 and class rank 39.

Trials of Fury
Level 31
HP 1087
Enemies 18
XP 85
Class XP 257
Gold 4

Random Undead
Level 31
HP 871
Enemies 18
XP 34
Class XP 102
Gold 1

Random Elemental
Level 30
HP 701
Enemies 21
XP 160
Class XP 462
Gold 32

I wasn't counting bosses in the Enemies count, only the regular enemies that form the bulk of the experience gain.

Right off I noticed the enemies in trials of fury were much higher health than they were in the past. Before they were around 400 to 500 health if I remember correctly.

On just pure damage you need to do to get an amount of XP, random dungeon on the undead map is the worst. However, their lower health does make them easier to area kill than the trials of fury enemies that give drastically better XP for the damage you need to do.

The random dungeon elementals map looks amazing and it is quite nice, but remember that map has a ton of dead time because the enemies are in 3 groups spread apart by long walks with no travel forms allowed in the map. You won't be able to kill them in their 3 spread out groups as fast as you can kill either of the other 2 that are all packed in a small area.

I still think the berzerker trial of fury are will be the best for consistent XP in a set amount of time simply because you don't have to fish through random selections to get the map for them like you do in the random dungeon ones and they do give good XP for the damage you need to deal to kill them.

I'd have to run a timed comparison between trials of fury and fishing random dungeons for the other 2 maps to be sure but it'd take a lot of running to counter the random chance of the random dungeon method. A short time run could just be skewed too easy either way by good / bad luck.

Interesting! Thank you for doing the tests, I'l definetly have to do the consistant berserker route to top off my classes then.

I actually was curious while running my Yulgar's west wall run for the pet shop daily and paid attention to the enemies there.

They turned out to be around 890 health on average (4 types with varying health) and gave slightly more XP per kill than even the elementals in random dungeon at 170 xp and 514 class XP.

This leads me to believe that the last round of updates involving XP rates took more than just enemy level into account. They might have also taken into account enemy health, enemy "density" (how many you could stack up for area killing at once) and the overall density of the dungeon or area they're in. Also judging from daily boss areas they must have taken into account how likely it would be for multiple people fighting at once. Daily boss enemies have thousands of health but no real increase in XP because the area is expected to be packed with many players which actually makes kills there fast despite the high enemy health.

What that all says to me is that most likely, any scaled dungeon is going to be at least an acceptable XP area. Some might be better if you have access to enough area damage to quickly kill and some might better if you can only single kill reliably.

Still, simply for the enemy density and the consistent quick restart, I'd probably just continue to run berzerker class daily trials of fury when I want to farm XP. It is nice knowing that most of the random stuff they want us to do like yulgar's west wall for pet feed daily and random dungeons for wraithmancer essence daily can be a decent source of XP when doing them for their dailies.
