At this point my main is too high for the dungeon. Only shot I have at trying the level 50 dungeon for exp is with my level 43 character that I'm using explicitly for party play.
Also I finally have a high enough level to go from Klaipeda to Osha by foot I believe. I mean sure I could have used the warp scroll long ago but where's the fun in that (Well I did use it this morning cause I didn't feel like backtracking all the way to Osha and figured I'd work my way back up)
Plus I want to complete every main quest and map I can so I would have to head to Osha eventually for that.
On the subject of using dungeons for exp, kind of hard when you can't even get into the dungeon in the first place. You would save more time skipping the dungeons entirely. At least until they get their crud together and make dungeon queuing work properly.
If you dont do dungeons for exp then you end up having to make that up with grinding exp through mobs and that will take just as long or longer. Because by the time you reach mid to high 100's maps start giving alot less exp cards forcing you to grind mobs for exp, unless you leveled efficiently early on and have a ton of exp cards saved up to make it through some of the gaps.
@Space Pirate Nithiel, Dont go in solo for dungeons you wont be able to clear it.... And if you went in with a group well your group might have been bad....

The problem is the issue discussed above. Orsha is another starting area which means that the quests and enemies will be starting over from level 1, so if you wait until a high level to go there you're going to miss out on all the exp from all the quests/monsters until you make your way to the area that matches your level.

Well I haven't run into any grinding issues yet. Level 75 atm. It's not like I can do anything about it at this point as I'm well beyond the point of the dungeon being able to give me any experience and next one isn't until level 90. All I can really do is go back and hit all the maps I missed and then get back on the main quest path.
As a side note, is ashaq underground prison 2f collection bugged for you guys? I tried looking in the spot indicated by the site Nith linked me but no dice and didn't spot it anywhere else on the map.

I am not sure others but I am intentionally keeping my level low and not using the experience cards yet because if the level difference is significant, you get penalized. While I am at the proper level for the map I can still gain experience while questing. If I am too high it's a waste, all the exp I could have gotten is voided. in addition while I am at the right level, I can rake in scores for achievements like overkill (if the level difference is too great it doesn't get rewarded and it gets harder to overkill with higher level mobs). I pop in the experience cards when I finding it difficult to progress or near death cause leveling restores hp and what not.
Not sure. Pretty sure I got the box. Maybe someone got to it before you did? Have you tried the other channels? I find that certain things spawn in slightly different places from channel to channel (magic circles).

That's all well and good if you have the luxury of knowing that before hand. However, If you wasn't aware of the other maps before you started to begin with. Only thing you can do is go back just to fill up your achievement points. As for that one I mentioned, it's known to be bugged. It's the only collection chest that isn't there. Collection chests are fixed and isn't about someone getting to it first. It just doesn't spawn.

Oh. I could have sworn I mentioned that because I didn't want anyone to spend hours looking for it like I did. Maybe I just thought about mentioning it then forgot.. Hm.
Anyway, yeah. The chest on the second floor of Ashaq is bugged so it doesn't spawn, hasn't spawned once since the server started.

Interesting note, maps are shared between your team (your characters on the account).
You could technically save those lower EXP scrolls and claim it on another character. Sadly you can only claim the achievement once per account ;_;

That doesn't do you much good unfortunately, because exp scrolls have a minimum level requirement. For example I somehow got a level 8 scroll but I can't use it until level 120.
On a related note, these monster killing numbers get crazy. Like, you'll have a map with 7 different kinds of monster and you have to kill each kind 300+ times. You spend like, days on a single map. Lmao.

Hmm does the kill counter get stuck for you? I am not sure what's happening. I can be murdering things for an hour and the kill counter is only like 15 kills.

I was able to claim map completion per character actually though. Like a map I had already claimed and 100% on one character I was able to still claim and 100% on another character. So I don't think map completion is shared actually.

I've noticed the server glitches in updating that from time to time. Eventually it will update and recognize on yay you did kill that many.

The counters do sometimes get stuck. Usually if I mouse over one monster and it's stuck I'll mouse over a different one, then back to the first and it is updated. if it's REALLY stuck sometimes you have to change channels to get it to update.

I think I'm going to start working on my second character. I can't go any further on the Klaipeda side because of a broken quest, and if I go any further on the Orsha side I'll get too high level and miss out on all the exp from the Klaipeda side.

Noticed something interesting.
When you party with someone who is within adequate level range of the mobs even if you're over leveled, you can score over kills on those mobs +_+, more testing required.
Conditions were:
Low level character was party leader within ~15 levels of the mob.
Not sure if this would be an easy way to score overkill achievements while hanging / helping low level players.

Interesting, I'll have to keep this in mind. Although as a mage who specializes more in DoT I don't think I can really score overkills anyways as that's the build I ended up setting myself on.
Only really high instant damaging skills I have ls level 10 Earthquake and level 5 Energy Bolt :/
Gah, I'm really swimming in experience. I have over 40 level 4 exp cards and 10 level 5 exp cards. Level 96 atm and still haven't completed King's Plataeu, Royal Mausoleum F1, F4, F5, or the Rainforest maps (just finished Delmore Outskirts)
So much exp @_@
Now I'm up to 99 Level 4 exp cards, 24 level 5 exp cards, and level 98. Did the level 90 dungeon for 2 levels. Jeez they really give you a crap ton of exp around my level.

According to Reddit the Orsha server is down. I can't get on to confirm or deny right now.
