FC / RB: whats best for exp and cash?

Edyn - Dreamweaver

Heya,

read some of the guides i was able to find here on the forums to know what to do in both type of runs, but i dont get the difference exp/cash wise.

I understood that FC is good for exp but im a wrong to think you'll need to do it with hypers (which makes is expensive) ? and do ppl also advice using charms in FC or just in RB (as i read)?
And whats the main purpose off RB's?

Sorry for asking i would just like to be prepared so that when im 80 i can start doing those runs, hopefully.

Would prefer choosing for the best exp first and later on for some cash.

Ty in advance.

If you're looking to power level, then Hyper/FC is the route you're looking for. But be prepared to spend a lot just for exp. FC no longer drops much of anything (except a few ****ty green pieces of gear), and depending on class, will suck a bit of coin in repairs that you don't get back.

RB, on the otherhand, still gives a good amount of exp, but has a better chance of paying you back after each boss is dead. Not only in coins, but the bosses themselves can drop high lvl shards (most of the time they're elemental) and skill pages.

In FC, charms aren't really "required", but it doesn't hurt to have one if you do a lot of running with random squads. You're bound to hook up with morons who die a lot at some point.

RB is the charm eater. 'nuff said.

All in all, I prefer RB over FC any day. Mostly because I've done it enough to know how to maximize exp gain with little cost. Whereas FC just eats money on repairs.

You're welcome.

Hope to see you spamming for RB squad soon. It's far more fun.

Xarathox is right. Experience wise, FC (or FF on other servers), is better exp then RB, but it does cost a good amount, although if you know how to use your hyper exp the right way, you can get anywhere from 2-4m exp maybe more on a run, and make your hypers last for a good while. If you do it right, and want to save money doing it. you can make 1 hour of hypers last for anywhere from 5-10 runs, 10 times 2m exp, its 20m. thats about 4 maybe 5 levels in the upper 80s. But, it can get tedious, and RB gives about 1m exp if i remember right? Atleast 1m for a RB plus some immaculate shards (usually elemental ones like Xarathox said). It really depends on you. Whether or not you want to level faster, or get some shards and saving money, while getting some exp. Both are good just depends on the player really.

Ty,
about the hypers do have a question. Never actually used one yet cause lvl went fast enough till now atleast. Read you should activate before boss dies, but can you deactivate it then after the boss and reactivate again at next boss and so on?

Yes, usually it's good to activate around 50k-100k hp left of the boss. That way you're only using a few seconds of that hour. Only problem is you can only activate and deactivate 10 times per day, so you have to use them wisely. A lot of bosses will only give you like, 1% exp hypered, which isn't really worth it. for quick runs, I'd use it on Messenger of Fear, and of course the heads that spawn after that (you'll know what I mean when you start running). I'll have no problem squadding with you and giving you a hand in FCs, it's hard starting out bc everyone (understandably) wants experienced squads only.

if you load a new set of hypers everyday you can get 20 activations, makes lvling...too fast lol
also hyper reset is 5pm server time not CS/BH reset(and you have to relog for it to reset)
