I don’t understand. It’s like a 5 min farm rather than a 3? Ran it yesterday and didn’t have any trouble.

I'm not sure as I have not played it yet, but we managed to get r10 completions down to under 2 minutes. on average. between the speedy completions, and the tricks used to fish for the 2 instances faster, we were getting a rate of 40k~ an hour in rxp. with all xp buffs possible, 6 man groups, on 80% ransack non-stop.

which was 66% faster than lawfulgood's heroic racial reaper guide where he states 15 hours per life and 200k reaper xp net gain. and much faster when the totality of having to swap your gear, spend your ap, and travel to each quest is accounted for in heroic grinding because none of that was needed and you could just spam the quest.

it was by far the best reaper farm in the game. it is how half that orien deleted list symb posted had 60-80 reaper ap at the time of deletions.

I understand this one. Snipe your way through 10 kills and then sprint to the icon. That's doable for almost anyone and you can manage it on WAAAAAY higher difficulty level than you can do most quests. You don't get any loot, but if you're someone who can solo Elite on most quests, you can do R2 for Amber Temple. If you're someone who can solo R1 on most quests, then you can do R6 in Amber Temple. That's a big jump in RXP that you can get each day.

ESPECIALLY if you're someone who can't handle Reaper most of the time.

In a coordinated group it won't be much worse.  You just need two people to split up to get the mrak word.  So instead of taking 2 minutes it now takes 2.5 and instead of just afk'ing while one person does all the work you now need a gopher or two.

Mostly hit the shitbag DC wizard solo/duoists who thought they were king shit because they could do an R10.

You can solo several r10s with wiz, you can keep up the crying.

Quote:
The most efficient way to do this is to balance getting to level 20 efficiently and earning the most rxp. Running 6 hour 50% xp pots, it takes less than 24 hours to run to level 20 per life, which for me translates to between 3 and 5 days depending on which day of the week I TR and how the weekend falls in that interval. I keep my playtime somewhat casual, only 3 or 4 hours per night during the week, and more of course on the weekends and have no problems racking up huge rxp. Skip Korthos and immediately get to level 2 using daily roll stones that you saved from your previous life. Do all quests at level for full rxp. At level 2 start running R2. Bump it up to R3 when you get to level 4 and have the Reaper tree available. Bump it up to R4 when you can use heal scrolls, or unlock the next tier in the Reaper tree. Bump it up to R5 when you hit Gianthold at level 13. Adjust downwards as you progress (if you're losing noticeable amounts of time per quest), or upwards as desired (shorter quests with big rxp payouts), but keep it at R4 or R5 at least til you cap at level 20.

Done correctly, you should have at least 150K rxp in an average of 4 days (20-24 hours of game time). Even though you'll get more rxp per life doing all the quests as the OP described, by starting the wheel over again you will earn more rxp over time because you're earning more efficiently.

Yeah, but wtf does Frets know about DPS or anything else?  He should be playing a pure rogue, or whatever ~handwaving~ warlock sucks etc. etc.

I like the "casual 3 or 4 hours daily and more on the weekends" notion.

50% pots, always a party, cone tardlock all the time - I'd bet rxp per life is lower for most people.

I did 100k at cap today in a single day. 10-12 hours playtime. No firstime bonuses. Some serious fucking around though. Like 2man r10 multitude took an hour and I already had -20% from doing it earlier in the day on 7.

It was on a sorc though so... ...you know... eazy game.

I guess 3-4 hours a day IS casual compared to 10-12 hours per day.  I guess it just goes to show you that definitions of words like "casual" are all relative.

I clearly missed something...

Did they nerf/intend to nerf Amber Temple?

Because I don't know anyone doing this farm (even though everyone knows it exists).

Was it THAT big a crisis? Were entire instances collapsing from overload of people farming Amber Temple? Did too many people have a Mythic +4 Traveler's Coat?

From the looks of it on that post, it required some significant investment in pots, party composition and time to make it yield maximum results.

Then again, I roll gimps and could give 2 fucks about Reaper/End-game/Shut-In-Wings (Which is odd, since I'm a total cosmetics whore. But it's just too much fuckin' work and I'm too cheap to buy pots).

You couldn't get loot.  Just reaper XP.  But it was crazy easy.   And it was such a big deal to people who want reaper Xp for free that some were threatening to quit over the change.
