Solo Dungeons?

[Chocbomb]

Have been reading that the SOLO dungeons are horrible and a waste of time.
Is this true?

[JazzyJet]

I think they're good for like mid tier stuff and they're kinda fun. Probably a waste of time for the veteran pros.

What do you mean?
Like.. low exp and loot? compared to?

Got told on discord*
The early/mid game had/has no catch-up mechanics for new players on the only Server.

So all the big guilds would camp high tier areas and farm top quality exp and loot and not let anyone else play, everyone else had to farm low exp/loot areas, and those areas never get improved and are ignored :(

Idk how true this is now tho or how dated that info was from, it didnt seem like they knew about some of the latest updates.

Solo dungeons are a waste of time, there’s many videos on this explaining why

[blc]

Ye you get more loot/exp doing corrupted dungeon in yellow zones + you get some pvp experience without loosing your gear/loot at death. What you miss out on is maybe the conquest points you get in black zones but the points are so minimal in solo dungeons it count as waste of time.

And it can be kinda hard roaming for solo dungeons in black zones. Many zones are controlled by guilds that just kill you on sight.

[Chocbomb]

OK, so confirmed solo stuff is weak and blackzones is where the oil is.

It's a game designed to promote PvP. Solo dungeons and safe areas have deliberately low rewards because of how safe they are. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks.

t5 = 2000 ~ 30000
t6 = 50000 ~ 100000
t7 90000+
t8 idk

i done lot of T7 and T8 black zone portal maps. it depends on blackmarket, if you want money. i earned arround 10-15 mil. but you need to do test runs 2-3 will be good you will see drops are bad. you go it depends what time you go uct. basicaly i can say game is soon will git low mark. there is nothink to do for solo players.

It depends on what you want to accomplish - tier 5 zones and below have a lower loot table and give less rewards, but you are able to keep this loot without putting yourself at risk of losing it. Tier 5 corrupted and yellow dungeons have less variance on whether you get to take home the gear you find.

Anecdotal evidence suggest that there's a loot table that is based on:

1. The tier of the zone.
2. Tier 3 zones have a T3 loot table. This does not mean you can't get higher tier items.
3. Some random dungeons have a point one modifier that is undefined (T3.1, T3.2, etc) that increases the loot table slightly.
4. Dungeon maps slightly enhance the loot table and creates a dungeon with the selected Tier listed above, but it's more challenging.

If you subjugate yourself to risk being in a red or black zone the loot table will increase. If you enter a random tier 7 dungeon, it may be 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and now 7.4 according to the Anecdotal evidence along with my own conducted testing says it falls along these lines.

This doesn't mean it'll be massive, but it does increase the variable of how much loot you'll get. So if you entered a 7.2 dungeon with a purple chest, I'm sure you'll get solid loot, all things considered.

T7 and T8 areas give great loot and combat fame over time, but there's a risk to losing your gear and the items you gained which can deter people from trying it.

Personally, after obtaining enough assets and can craft items, losing gear at a certain point isn't much of a drawback unless you're walking in 8.x gear all the time which can take a toll on your silver balance.

Other than that, T5 zones are consistent and have less variance while higher tier zones will increase your loot table, give higher combat fame and silver drops. There's also higher tier resources to gather on top of that, which may be 6.1, 6.2 like a dungeon could be also.

The task you find fun isn't a waste of time IMO. If solo dungeons in a yellow zone work for you, then do it. If you like hunter corrupted dungeons, do that. You don't have to make this game about min-maxing silver/loot gains.

[Chocbomb]

Thanx for that info man.
I was concerned that the skill gain exp drop off would be so dramatic that you had to go into the BZ to continue improving your character.

[Velx]

Good for mid tiers! I just recently knew that I can play on steam, kinda buggered I cant event use my main but I raid on solo for my new account.

really about rng but not that bad, i just got 6.1 and 5.1 drop from a tier 5 solo dungeon in fresh server which made me gain around 300k silver lol.

Thats the luckiest t5 solo dungeon ever ! as even with golden chests and premium loot is 30-50 k !

Dungeons also have a soft cap that after maybe 1-2 mill earned in them (t6-7 ones faction flagged) or less they just spam you with green chests or nothing !.. maybe they get depleated like resource nodes or ppl in carleon havent filled the black marketplace i never figured that one out !

[Many-Named]

they're cool if you don't have much time and just wanna do the dailies
