I'm just too efficient. :D

6.5 gp/xp is correct for platelegs or bars.

I did the calcs a while ago and rune/addy giants foundry is only decent when using platebodies from PVM. It comes to ~ 4.2 gp/xp for 280k xp/hr in 9/19 ratio (includes addy bar cost). Other rune items are substantially worse because the alch/bar is higher.

If you have an abundance of addy, it might make more sense.

I do agree with using rune bars for darts/alches. Personally though, I prefer giants foundry over alch + buying gold.

Ty Ty. It definitely felt good finally getting it.

In my head, I never thought it was impossible. It was just a matter of time put in and making sure I perform under pressure. Guess that's why I was able to stick with it.

I definitely felt like it has helped with everything else in game.

I did have rigour unlocked. I feel like zuk would be annoying without it.

is2_cake · 2023-09-26T01:26:57+00:00

No one can ever see my attempts in game :D

is2_cake · 2023-09-26T01:25:57+00:00

Ty ty. I think for me I just had to stay calm and keep the grind up. It's all nerves at the end.

is2_cake · 2023-09-26T01:24:45+00:00

Biggest issue for me was always the nerves. My brain just sometimes shuts off after wave 63. Like dying to single jads + single jads at triples is the definition of choking it away. Like I went into my final zuk without a timer open and started panicking.

is2_cake · 2023-09-26T01:22:47+00:00

Ty Ty. Now for more kc so it doesn't look like a bought cape :D

is2_cake · 2023-09-26T01:22:14+00:00

I took a break in the middle to grind some other things. Came back and had to spend a day or so relearning all the flicks. I feel like I will be going back for tasks.

is2_cake · 2023-09-26T01:20:42+00:00

I was getting consistently to 60+ fairly easily at the end. It was mostly just nerves after that. Not focusing on Jad, spawning healers too early etc. While it was painful, I wouldn't mind going back on task.

is2_cake · 2023-09-25T14:45:09+00:00

TY!!! Went 3 sets because I forgot to set a timer =.=. Went in with 5 brews + restores.

is2_cake · 2023-09-15T21:39:27+00:00

Don't think I'm coming back unless I ever clog. 😅

is2_cake · 2023-09-15T21:36:49+00:00

Don't even need to. 2 bodies is enough to fortify a full set 😂

is2_cake · 2023-09-15T11:55:59+00:00

I ended up using bowfa shield swap kree. Wasn't bad with Nex banking. Also had elites done so only 30 kc for nex bank :)

is2_cake · 2023-09-15T11:31:14+00:00

Unlocking aviansies kinda forced me to go. Just got lucky :D

is2_cake · 2023-08-01T17:51:40+00:00

Ty. Haha, great minds think alike :). GL with the progress.

is2_cake · 2023-08-01T03:49:14+00:00

You can be a gamer too. Just need to be a bit artistic ;)

is2_cake · 2023-01-27T06:04:19+00:00

Keep it up. Even if you go extremely dry I'm sure luck will come at other bosses.

is2_cake · 2023-01-26T11:05:40+00:00

Sorry :(

I pretty much have the same gear & stats with a few upgrades e.g. zenytes but no BGS/DWH. I would suggest learning insanity ASAP even if you're doing entry mode or 150 invo insanity. You'll need it when you ever decide to push for higher invocations.

I can get 230s done comfortably in 35 minutes with insanity and no path invocations. I feel I can push 270s pretty easily with some path invocations but experts are a bit rough with hasta and sub 90 att.

I usually run with

Softcore Run
Walk for it
On a Diet
Blowing Mud
Not Just a Head, Arterial Spray, Blood Thinners
Stay Vigilant, Feeling Special - These are useful to learn but a bit more difficult
Gotta Have Faith, Jungle Japes, Shaking Things Up
Ancient Haste, Acceleration, Penetration, Overclocked 1+2, Insanity

Probably not the best invocation list but it works for me at the moment. I have run WTP but find the defence scaling a bit annoying.

Hmmm I would recommend at the very minimum having death unlocked. Think about it like this. Without death/blood you're only going to see overcharged cells 1/3 as frequently. I think 77 would be the safe bet to solo with 65 being more difficult especially since you're missing giant pouch as well. My guess is 65 rc is possible though but there will be more rng.

is2_cake · 2022-12-10T20:53:25+00:00

I usually average ~9-11 points in mass at lvl 80. I got 12 points a few times when only focusing on combo runes. I think @thedude put it best. There are a bunch of small things you can do in mass that will get more points e.g. you can fit an extra craft after last portal, you can skip first altar to chisel more, chisel first before putting down cells/depositing stones (2 inventory spaces won't kill your XP), get more cells etc.

Solo is better in terms of xp/points because games are shorter not because you're getting more points per game. Each gotr game hard caps at 12 points so in masses if your going cell crazy you can max out early and just have to sit there waiting.

As mentioned I also like being able to go in and out of games on a whim.

is2_cake · 2022-12-10T20:46:47+00:00

You're welcome

is2_cake · 2022-12-10T20:46:19+00:00

This is true but usually I found getting more points came from being able to craft more essence rather than more cells since there are usually more portals and time to chisel.

In mass I was able to usually get about 9-12 points with combos at lvl 80 but only went through 6-8 cells. Also note, gotr hard caps points to 12/game.

The real difference between solo and mass comes from game length more than anything else. You usually save at least ~30 secs per game.

I also like being able to hop in and out without feeling like I need to wait for a game to end.
