Here is one I tried out. Light the fires quest a3. Clear up the stairs and first open area. Usually no elite but it does have a bunch of of critters there. I was ignoring it because of the run to get there first. I suppose it is worth testing.

An even better starting point would be to figure out WHY ancients crypt is good. Is the guaranteed existence of the elite pack really important? Do the big purple-y summoner homies grant too much exp?

Does a table exist anywhere that shows how much exp a certain mob types gives?

There was something I read a week or so ago about xp per kill ect, too much history in browser to check but the elite pack gives an nv stack and that increases xp.

I run into cota, find the elite pack while skellies get spawned, kill elite for xp bonus then clear. Most skellies follow.me so I can chain kill pretty efficiently.

exactly the same as this, the kill if the elite first ensures another 15% + as its 15% per nv stack.



i believe it works well because of the massacre stacks.
u can... if its a good game, kill every monster in there under the same massacre '' bonus '' most ive had is 77 killed with +118xx xp bonus, altho im not sure if the xp bonus from your Eq and nv stack is counted onscreen for that bit.

But thats just me and i could be wrong



e/

Something i was also testing today briefly was the summoners dont have a melee attack and like to stand around just spawning and firing, if they were to say, be clustered in one area, where they couldnt hit you with the missle atacks but could spawn skellys near you, it might be possible to afk a thorns barb in there ???
its not tested at all, but maybe someone had tried or could try it ?

e/ Thorns only counts for melee, its deffo possible

My best was like 120 killed with 15k xp or so.

Tested it, it works but the summoners stop spawning after a min or so

Vouch this.
They summon and stop.

If it was only this easy!

Massacre adds like 10k exp total, so that's like 1/25 total xp... it ain't that.

yes it add 10k on screen, but who knos what it add off screen >? u would need

to work out the xp per monster > the amount of monsters ( changes every game ) add it up > then add bonus on > and work out the difference, that would be off screen xp through massacre

'' provided there is off screen xp ''

some one do the maths pleaseee

I'd say the massacre gives +5% overall exp which is very significant in my opinion!
