Flop your way up to the castle balcony in the hole. One of my favs.

If they're open, you can also mix Dyrna with bards/nobles. Kill Dyrna, pull a bard, kill Dyrna, pull a noble, etc. Lots of running, but the exp is good.

Now that is something different. I am definitely going to look into that castle balcony, any tips/strats once in the spot?

Once you get up there, kill the balcony pather that goes up to the right. Then kill the static on the balcony that guards the door on the left. Then kill the other pather. Once the balcony is clear you can pull everything there to avoid wall heals.

If you go to the far edge, people can haste you from CE.

If the named cleric spawns, you're gonna have a rough time, but if there's a group in CE you can negotiate pulling it to them OR invite a Nec/Rog/Monk/SK whatever up to duo. Necro is my preferred partner. With a duo, you can clear basically the whole castle avoiding the single rock golem that paths up the stairs. Solo you can do the balcony floor and the one above that leads to the bridge.

I saw people talking about how Monks in increments of AC 1,000 - 1,500 changes the type of content they can solo/duo more than just stacking HP. Why is Djarns ring priced so high when AC > Agi, you are only getting 15hp over a velium ring and losing 6ac.

a combination of lots of items in this game having a price point that doesnt make sense and a lot of people have a poor understanding of optimizing defensive value and minimizing their ehrps. AC and hp regen are absurdly strong stats for dealing with most of the damage patterns that exist in this game - especially when stacked, and even moreso when you have a lot of both.

djarn ring is better if you never get melee'd or your characters AC is so dogshit you're usually taking max damage regardless (i.e shit geared casters), but even then the 15 hp isnt worth whatever people overcharge for it.

People value it differently both by player and by class. E.g. I took Djarn over velium on both my enchanter and my bard. Am I under valuing ac? Maybe. Hard to tell. I don't think it matters as much on the ench as the monk but I could very well be wrong.

I think a lot of the people willing to pay plat for it are warriors.

Yeah thats my point, you'd be hard pressed to not find a warrior or monk equipping this and losing AC for 15hp.

AC is fubar here and basically useless on raids unless you're the tank, but it's still pretty good when grinding low blues. I wonder what kind of returns +6AC gets you throughout the levels. For a monk face tank solo grinding exp, I'm not sure djarn's is actually better, but it's not super important either way.
