It is but it means you can’t do baal tz

Now that’s somewhat okay cos it’s not that crazy, but imo it’s not worth the 20 million xp

20 million xp is less than 1 hour on 98 anyway

No.

Tzing on 98 lvl in random pubs and zones which is most common method unless you are streamer with puppies gives you avg 10-14 m/hour.

Ancients give 61 m.

Ill leave math to you.

E: ah, you said norm + nightmare, sorry. Still it saves up to 2 hours.


Nah, barely 1 hour. Saving norm and nm is ez with classic rush, but that 20 million from just hell on 98 is less than 1 hour of farming

Yes I still do this.
Not as useful as it used to be as you get way more exp/h now with TZ.


This, it’s helpful but isn’t necessary like before

Can you tell me how to make 20 m exp per hour on 98?

I never got past 15, even though I had the opportunity to play with a good group and grab a few exp shrines along the way. Hell, even tz baal with + 10% exp gives 550k per run. 60 min / 2.5 min run = 13.2 m exp.

My avg is the 12 m / hour, but i don’t have a privilege to be online during best tzs with well-cordinated team. I just join pubz and take what is there. Like a most.

If 20 m/hour refers to:

- a well-coordinated team
- pre-tele
- playing only during the best tzs
- the appropriate moon phase
- no picking any items
- in short: total min/max

then it's unfair to use it as a reference point.

Solo p8 clearing a decent tz level can net you 1-2 million xp even at 98 if I recall, so not a whole lot of savings at the cost of skipping all Baal runs
