You must also consider the fact that there will most likely be more people at the bears because of this event. While in Rundal you won't have anyone but yourself.

rundal hm is about 1.2mil exp per run on x4. if you can do it with little issue, i'm pretty sure it's more time-efficient than hardmode missions.

How long does a RNHM run take you?

According to my old thread, if you adjust for 4x EXP...

Shadow Cast City Hard = 740k EXP (about 12 minutes)
Sliab Cuilin Hard = 405k EXP (about 8 minutes)
Their Method Hard = 274k EXP (about 9 minutes)
Shadow Warrior Hard = 201k EXP (about 6 minutes)

Shadow Cast City is still very nice EXP. The experience from kill in shadow missions is underrated, and the end bonus shouldn't be tossed out. Although, Their Method and Shadow Warrior (which are normally pretty good exp) become garbage because they do base most of their exp off the ending bonus.

If RNHM takes more than 20 minutes, then it still falls below SCC.

It should be about 20 minutes a run with no mistakes.

just wondering, how would ciar adv compare to shadow cast city?

ciar adv is better than rundal hm in terms of exp so it could compete with shadow cast city.

Just did the math...

To reach Lv 100, you need about 32M experience.

With each run being like 1.2M as you said, you only need 27 runs of Rundal HM to reach that at 4x exp.

Did you add in +10% from Premium Service?

Then again, who buys Premium Service just for the EXP?

The 10% would bring it down to ~24 runs instead of 27. :P

The problem with dungeons is inconsistency.

How many rooms does a floor have? Are they switch rooms, or spawn rooms? How many "wrong" switches did you hit? Is is single spawn or triple spawn? Did it spawn weak rats, or titled laghodessas? How many long hallways did you go through?

Finding an average EXP / average time is much harder. Plus, needing a pass makes it worse unless you have the cash to spring for Unrestricteds.

The question is what's Phunkie's DPS.

I'm not on the game atm, but I can definitely run Rundal HM in 15~20 minutes.

I maybe can run it within 30mins, because i dont have super magic or melee.
Alls i got is R1 WC boosted with R2 AM :S
Aswell as magnum and ar, but those arnt fun.
