Lowbie Farming Maps

If I set it for 30 you'd get your powers up to 35. But wouldn't it shut off the level 36 slots?

Thanks fourspeed. I knew about the scaling but didn't know the level 36 slots would apply if the mish was capped at level 30.

Take a look at the CEBR thread for my take on lowbie farming maps. Claws/Electric Brutes can cap tickets in under 90 seconds from level 8 on with no Enhancements slotted. The ultimate poor mans ticket farmer.

So, has everyone just moved over to CEBR, or should I be doing anything to tune this up?

Howdy folks. Thought I'd give you an update on my lastest... update. I made the level 1 version of my map 5 missions long. Now you can run it over and over again without having to reset everything. Level 3 getting the update... eventually. Enjoy!

I'd like to make a level 1-50 version of my map for either Fire or Energy (leaning towards energy) but I only have 1 upload slot left so I'm left dawdling on the decision.

I was considering making a level 27 version of the map. High enough to get footstomp and high enough to not have your enhancements scaled away. It specifically benefits SS characters, and would also be useable by other ATs since they have their damage caps by then. The issue with that is whether or not it's a waste of time. I'm not sure if being able to have that many more powers would result in faster leveling than just staying at level 1 or 2. Well... it would be for anyone who gets their PBAoEs later than level 6 or 8. That's the main reason. I guess it's worth trying out. But then I think screw the SS users. Make it level 15, that way anyone who gets a PBAoE at 18 (like the new BS Brute) would benefit.

I haven't done the math, but I'm pretty sure that by that point Boss HP goes into territory that defeats the whole purpose.

I took my lv 33.5 fire/kin into Urobolus's lv 3 arc. When I set myself to +0, it set me to lv 3, which ment I could still use hotfeet. Nowhere near as smooth a run as with a brute, but I did get to lv 35, in about an hour of play. I'm thinking of pushing on to lv 38. Then I should be able to jump over to a more regular farming map or do the ITF to get to 50. I eventually want to be able to farm +0-+1/X8 missions for purple drops on this toon.

So very much thanks for this thead, my fire/kin had been lagging at lv 31 for years, and running tips missions on her is steady, but very slow leveling.

I tried making mobs at level 15 worth 100% xp. For bosses you have to give them more powers than I'm comfortable with. By that level you can't survive it without copious inspiration use. That wouldn't be a huge problem if it weren't for the fact that bosses have almost 5x as much HP at level 15 than they do at level 3. There goes your constant stream of inspiration drops. This is really where it all falls apart. These types of farms live or die on a steady flow of inspirations. Enemies have a lot more HP and you still don't have a lot of aoes or the endurance recovery/slitting to sustain them by level 18.

Also consider that your enhancements would be scaled back to DO levels at best, and there aren't a lot of terribly useful set bonuses at that point to build for. I gave up before testing it. Just seems like there are too many hurdles.

You guys have done great work making these maps, and they definitely have helped me get through some slumps with some of my chars, but I was just wondering if there are any leve l3 farms besides 503858 (Achtzehn's Amazing frontloaded ambush)?

Only reason I am asking is because that one is capped at level 3, so when I run it as +1 it bumps me down to level 2 instead of the enemies up to level 4 (or I ran into a glitch?), Seems like it could go a little faster if I was able to do it +1 instead of +0.

You still get the extra XP. Or at least... I think you should.

Well. I updated #504371 for the nerf to XP on reviving mobs. Anything else I need to know about for I21 changes?

Quick question, a lvl 1 MA/Shield or SJ/Shield would get good XP onthis map?
