How are you getting 35k rxp per hour? Are you running 3 r10 quests with full first time bonuses within one hour? Also, that requires to be at cal, which is counterproductive to racial tring.


Nope just on repeat.

r10 amber 4492 + 1036  2 : 30
r 6 sub   2722 + 628   6 : 30
r 6 mult  3360 + 672   10
r 6 grim  3360 + 672   7
r 7 mem   3386 + 781   9

21 109  35 mins
about 36k per hour

Hard for me to believe people actually follow some kind of "list".

...so I don't really bother with higher skulls in heroics. 2 or 3 skulls tops.



I run more or less the same quests every life, but I don't follow a "list" or anything. An efficient amount of skulls varies from player to player (and depends on the content you're running) but my general rule for TRing is that I run the highest skull that I'm reasonably confident about soloing in an amount of time that isn't significantly longer than running it on r1. For most quests once I reach level 11, that's 4-5 skulls.

Efficiency has less to do with skulls than it does what your build/skill level can handle.

Also you get like 30 - 35k rxp per hour from dailies at cap
21 109  35 mins...about 36k per hour


You're getting a finite amount of rxp running dailies, so framing it as "x amount of rxp per hour" is extremely misleading.

According to the list that you posted of the dailies that you run, you're actually getting 21k per day. Heroic leveling can easily net you double or triple that.

If your goal is to get reaper xp and you have plenty of time to play, running rxp dailies at cap is extremely inefficient.

I don't think fishing time was included in the estimate.

Exactly. If you had 4 hours to play, you couldn’t get 140k reaper xp.

Not by doing dailies, no. Running level 30 content with a 50% pot and first time bonus gets somewhere in that ballpark but you can't do that every day.


I did mention the whole time factor in my earlier post though.

You can always add Death House, Mists, Devils Details and such.
How much do you get per heroic life ? 100k in 25 hours ?

Ehh doesn't matter I guess, we all do what we like.
I don't have much time to play usually and can't stand the heroic or racial "hamster wheel".
Waterworks or Shadowcrypt for the millionth time is not exactly my idea of fun after playing this game for so long.

As per my earlier post, I get roughly 140k in roughly 18 hours.

I'm doing the whole rxp thing partially because I'm already doing racial lives, and the rationale is the same: small (or not so small) bonuses to your character has been the endgame for a while now. A number of the reaper cores are indisputably more valuable than what you'll get out of most individual past lives, and are therefore worth getting if improving your character is something thing you care about.

I also find playing mid skull reaper vastly more enjoyable than I had been finding elite post power creep and enh pass, since instead of being able to run multiple consecutive lives without a single death on autopilot I have to get gear and pay attention or I'll die.

tl;dr - I do racials because that's the endgame they've given us. I do racials on reaper even though I have enough points to get most of the useful stuff because I enjoy reaper, warts and all.

Understandable.
