Original General Dungeon Fighter Thread

How do you guys stand grinding? I'm getting tired of working my way from 47 to 48 to get my Awakening. The only times I feel that grinding's fun is when I do it with friends. Honestly, Labyrinth isn't giving me that much exp anymore, and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Going through King's with a full party only nets me around 50~60k exp.

Any of you guys experienced with Borodin? I've only finished Borodin once out of the 7 runs I've been through, and I'm a bit nervous for the 5 runs of Borodin I have to go through.

Complete pain in the ass grinding from 44 to 45. Just want to hit level 45 so I can get Neil the Sniper, have my fan girl orgasm over it, then move onto my Battle Mage and Grappler. Dungeons are just a pain in the ass/impossible for me to solo or I just can't find a party.

That for your Summoner? Why would you waste time and energy +10ing that necklace when the Belmyre Star is better? j/w

15 MP/min for 900k is a pretty sexy deal for me, it only cost 6,900 gold to upgrade, and I thought that it wouldn't be this much trouble upgrading to +10. Seriously, I think my Earthquaker loves me or something to straight upgrade to +10. I blew ~500k of gold. Imagine if it was the Belmyre Star.... 5 million and STILL not a +10. I'd be crying wasting so much gold for a +10. This is why I try to get cheap MP regen cloth for my Summoner. Cheap upgrades is better than getting +9 MP/min from upgrading to a Belmyre Star; I'll worry about upgrading my MP regen if my Summoner has trouble even with a Shoulder Warmer, Gentleman's robe, Flare Skirt, Shadow Touch, MP regen staff, and 2 basic MP regen avatars.

You're probably better off soloing Frostfield on Expert (or higher if you can handle it).

Izzit supposed to take all damn day to do this 'To Sky Tower' quest? I've been soloing Blazing Grakqarak all day, and no sign of a magic crystal.

I don't think I've ever not gotten it on my first try. Are you sure you're doing it on the right level? Something seems fishy.

I'm assuming it's on the first level. I'm too scared to do expert since I died enough times on a bad run.

@below: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Guess I'm doing that tommorow when I have tokens. Or I get the stones to party someone.

Ugh. 6 year olds are invading DFO. Some guy in our party was lagging, and he caused some of the statues (Puppets) in the room to freeze. Everyone in the party kindly asked him to leave, but refused, making the comment "make me." After further pleading, he decided to copy everything we said. We waited...but still he refused. Ugh. Immature people are immature. If you're lagging, and hindering the performance of others, the least you could do is have some courtesy and leave.

@Piggy:
It's on Expert and up. I had the same problem.

Is it just me or are all Mages very annoying to fight in PvP? Magic Missile spam noobs and Manteau abusers annoy me.

This makes me want to grab some oil flasks and grandes, to kill such immature people.

Great He'etako/Behemoth/Temple Apostasy/Vestibule is the kinda pomegranate that keeps me from continuing my Battle Mage and Grappler. So annoying as hell.

OH YEAH. You have no idea how awesome that felt. Beyond-words awesome. The stuff DREAMS are made of! We actually did it. First try. King's Relic Masters. Duo. With an S Rank.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

KNEEL DOWN BEFORE US, BORODIN!

Tonight, King's Relic. Tomorrow, THE WORLD.

Man I'm still like...speechless. God that was awesome. Nen Master + Summoner = Legendary Duo. It's always been so much fun partying with her, and this just makes it the ultimate. I can't believe we pulled it off. We both did excellently. Wow... Wow.

1st room went pretty quickly, as usual. Slight scare when he got HAX fast for a while, but she handled it very well. I'm pretty useless here.

2nd room took a long time, but we pulled it off. Another room where I'm not that helpful. Just summoned Wisp meatshields for her the entire battle, after the initial army died. Slow and patient battle.

3rd room summons start to become more useful. We both got by relatively unharmed, besides the usual ice fish from hell a couple times. I don't get to see much of this fight since I'm usually running/hiding and all my frozen summons block the battle anyway.

4th room is usually easy for us with summon rape, but we ran into trouble. Quite scary. Somehow Flame man was busting out some own this time and he managed to start growing. Started to get nervous. He was riding her pretty hard at that point. I didn't know how to help, especially since I can't even Mark this guy. Called out Kasi and we managed to overcome him. Still Tokenless at this point, but we have an F rank.

5th room, aka HELL, actually went pretty dang good, considering. Just about how it goes on Normal/Expert. Brought out my full army right away, plus her usual domination and Wardello fell quite quickly. When the minions started to appear, I called out Kasi early. Did my best to dodge as many bolts as I could, but we both eventually fell. Didn't worry us. We always expect to spend a Token or two in this room. Come back right away, we're able to bust out our best moves fresh. Call another Kasi and our combined power finishes the last ones off easily. Now, we have 1 Token left and are holding an S rank (only 7 hits now). We know we're gonna have to bring our best and bring it HARD to overcome Boro and still hold onto that S. We plan to save the last Token as a hit cleaner.

Boss room. Probably the most intense and nervous battle I've ever been in. Focused as hard as I could possibly manage. We both went in crazy hot. Brought Kasi immediately. Made a foolish mistake right away by trying to Mark him, and I got stunned. Really got me scared as I knew we couldn't afford those hits. Managed to get out, and I only made a couple more mistakes (got hit 2-3 times by his earthquake, I think). It was really hard to keep my summons out and alive, but I tried my best and I was able to thanks to her bubble and great mob control. Fight last quite a long time (felt like FOREVER). When he was down to 3 bars, Kasi thankfully recharged and I brought him out again. We were at A rank at that point, so she died and brought us back to S. Our final push and a beautifully aimed Nen shot from her sealed the deal. And we went crazy.

Amazing feeling. As always, she's the best. Such crazy fun with her. haha

[COLOR="Green"]Want some help? I've got nothing better to do, and beating those guys is always fun.

Also, when does the Fatigue Bar reset? o-o I went to bed last night with half a Fatigue Bar and I woke up today and I still have half a Fatigue Bar. And no, it didn't reset while I was playing last night.[/COLOR]

I know how it feels, when MasPan, casualhero and I did it, we managed the 5th room with no casualties and hardly any hits (shockingly, we all got stunned quite a few times but for some reason the lightning bolts kept missing) leading to all of us reviving in the boss room and taking Borodin down with no hits. That place is hell I'm never going to do higher than normal again.

It should always reset at 6am PST (9am EST).

So you need help with those GLBs?

[COLOR="Green"]Faced a lvl 40 SB on my level 20 Sader, got him down to 20% HP every match, and he used Phantasmal Slayer and Tombstone at least 3 times a match. And when I said, "Seriously, spamming cubes against a level 20?" he responded with "Sorry for cube spamming, it's all I can do."

At least he admits that he's bad at PvP.[/COLOR]

MWHAHAHAHA!

NEIL. BEFORE. ME!.

What makes it even better?

 Spoiler

I've had this for 22 levels and have been waiting for this moment just to have it work.

Store permit expires in three days and I haven't even set foot in the new dungeons. I've been trying to get rid of my huge mass of avatars before it expires, but I don't think I'll make it. So I'm gonna wait a while before getting a new permit. What can I expect from the new dungeons, and is it even worth finishing if you can't awaken?
