The Blackburrow 3200

[iRFNA]

3200, the number of fangs that can fit in 16 10-slot bags, as in a full inventory and bank of them. What can these fangs do for you?

Let's say that a single fang can give a lv 10 human wizard half a yellow bubble. That means 10 fangs for a level! Looking at the nifty XP formula, the amount of XP for a wizard to go from 10 to 11 is:

110*10*1.0*11^3 - 110*10*1.0*10^3 = 364100 XP

Let's divide that by 10 and round it down a little for a more pessimistic estimate, netting 30000 XP per fang!

If you were to gather the absolute maximum amount of fangs to fill some cheap tailored 10-slot bags in every slot your character possesses, what could it do for you? Let's even ignore the moonstone quest, and assume farming BB for fucking ever has gotten you to lv 18. You approach Captain Tillin with sweaty human wizard palms. Will you get a happy ending?

30000*3200 = 96000000 XP
110*10*1.3*41^3 - 110*10*1.0*18^3 = 92141830 XP to get from 18 to 41
128000000 -115397920 = Lv 41 is yours with 3858170 XP (25% to 42) to spare!

That's right. That's all you need to get to the 40s. What does it take to go from 18 to 60?

110*10*2.6*60^3 - 110*10*1.0*18^3 = 611344800 XP
611344800 / 30000 per fang = 20378.16 fangs, or 6.37 full loads of 3200.

So if you do the ol Blackburrow 3200 lucky 7 times, you will be lv 60 without ever having to face the slightest risk. What are you waiting for?

I like this thread. Thanks for posting.

[senna]

I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon

[planeofdreams]

Wouldn't it still be faster to kill boars in Elwynn Forest?

[webrunner5]

Somehow I can envision another BARD thread out of this. :eek: Total zone pulls for fangs. Not a pretty sight. Maybe faster XP than OT?

[runlvlzero]

Why not move on to orc scalps?!

[SCB]

Only 22,000+ kills. No way that could be less efficient than anywhere else.

[Tasslehofp99]

Lol, legit post.

[eqravenprince]

This was awhile back when I last turned in gnoll fangs. I remember it taking exactly 100 gnoll fangs to go from level 14 to level 15 as a Gnome Necromancer. That would make each gnoll fang worth 7,000 XP not 30,000 like you suggested, but maybe the quest XP has changed since I last did the quest.

[Tasslehofp99]

I would atleast be curious enough to try it. I've been under the impression that quest exp rewards scale down as you go up in level, but I could just be imagining that as it takes more exp to finish each level.

yeah its NOT suppose to work like that. 8 out of 10 of my char were leveled in Qeynos area - there is no freaken way you could get 10 to 11 with 10 fangs. I turned in hundreds of them around 5-12 and there never was any noticeable XP gain.

The true ratio was like 1/5 of yellow at level 5. The only reason you would keep turning in fangs at lev 10 is for faction and some coin from Moonstones.

I am surprised this haven't been nerfed after so many years.

Back on Live gnoll fangs were never considered good turn in for quick XP, it was always CB belts/pads that were always suggested - yes they were dropable too, but even at lev 12 I always saw noticeable XP gain from every belt/pad turned in all way to 16. But fangs Xp died at lev 8.

Pissing off noobs for no good reason.

[myriverse]

slightest risk
From what I remember of Blackburrow, its risk was a lot more than "slight."

[Tecmos Deception]

Let's say that a single fang can give a lv 10 human wizard half a yellow bubble.

Let's say that a single crushbone belt can give a level 1 human wizard 75 yellows.

OMG EVERYONE CAN DING 60 OFF A FEW CRUSHBONE BELTS!!!

[Merchants of Qeynos]

Thank you for keeping the areas surrounding Qeynos SAFE for the civilians of Qeynos and their daily travelers/traders.

[mtb tripper]

turning in 3200 fangs, 4 at a time, the repetitive nature would probably induce a trip

When did you play live? I leveled almost every single character, other than my HIE enc and IKS shm, in blackburrow during the level range of 5-14ish purely because the fangs were great exp (and free beer!)

[Metra_Sexual]

Was proven wrong :D

[Brandonian10]

So first thing i thought of was if you have 16 10 slot bags wouldn't that mean 10 x 16= the total amount of fangs you can carry,which is 160? Also you said "Let's say that a single fang can give a lv 10 human wizard half a yellow bubble." so that isn't even a fact and then you base all of your math off the idea that it gives you have a yellow at level 10 which isn't even proven. Also while only being able to hold 160 fangs at a time to get 3200 fangs turned in would take 20 trips of full bagged fangs. Let's assume your math about how much experience per fang you got that would still take 20384 fangs to ding 18-60 which would take 1274 trips of full bags. Also let's assume it takes you on average 6 seconds to turn in 4 fangs,so every minute you turn in 40,it would take you 8.49 hours of just turning fangs in,assuming you were able to hold all 16 at one time. You would be sitting there for 8.49 hours just clicking to turn in without any rest and always turning in 4 ever 6 seconds. Now imagine how much longer it would add to kill all those gnolls to get 20384 fangs.

I was bored af and thought too much about this....

160 is just the amount of slots you would have available with 16 10-slot bags... the fangs are stackable. Hence, 160*20 = 3200.

[Metra_Sexual]

Ahh,Well then i am completely stupid then.I had no idea it is stackable,my bad.

[ncapatina]

Exp is a lot worse in Halas than the Qeynos turn in...
