Ok so I just ran 20 colossal ancients in under 20 mins with another player and noticed significant xp for a level 96.

Can someone let me know what the xp gain per run would be for a p8 colossal ancients run?

I was wondering that this may be a viable service if I were to say get 99 sets and offer leveling.

Can you run a few more and write down your exp before and after each run?

yeah totally agree!

Would be quite a piece of work to gather say 50 of each statues but if the exp is good then it would be very worth it because a random warlock just smashs those ancients.

Please let us know if you get the math behind the exp/run in P8

cheers

with the existence of terror zones I think there are integer limits in d2 that preclude any amount of low # of enemies being anywhere near as good xp for high levels
which is why we hit that problem where unravelers and diablo/baal had overflow glitches going above the max xp per kill in parties
even if ancients were giving exactly the max possible xp it wouldn't be as efficient as just clearing random elites in tz areas more rapidly

.


No point in running them at P8 because the exp gain maxes out at P3 with 86502 exp per Ancient kill (with 10% anni). On P2 its 85680 exp per ancient kill and on P1 its 57112 exp per Ancient kill. Thats all for level 96 char. For level 98 char its P1: 31805, P2: 47704, P3: 48166
