Midgard Commander has nothing left? Underground Forest blanks you? Frontlines won't talk? Nyttheim all played out? Refuse to pay to join Moderna PL? Can't get a Group? Cba to wait for a zerg? Then Long Corridors is just the thing for you...
I did this to level the last 5 bubs of 49, but it should work earlier. You need to be able to melee the Task Dungeon mobs 1 to 1 and have some form of ranged attack (but even Warriors can throw stuff). Having the 5% xp bonus on Orion's Belt also helps speed things up.
The tip exploits the fact that Task Dungeons (unlike Epic Dungeons) have mobs that :
don't move
don't baf
don't re-spawn while you're inside
are all the same con
have short range aggro only
repop in the same places when the Insta re-forms
Go to the Task Master for your level (I did this on Trinnan in Svasud) and choose Long Corridors. He can give three types of task :
1. Clear the caves to the West of all creatures
2. Kill [x] of Class [y]
3. [named mob] has taken over...
It's the last you want. If you get one of the others, cancel it by zoning into the caves and straight out again. (You may need to do this several times). When you get a named mob to kill, zone in. You will find that you can run/walk past or avoid most of the mobs in the way. Find your mob and kill it (usually it will be surrounded, so ranged attack will be needed). If there's something directly in the way, you'll need to kill it ofc.
Result : 0.3bub (=30 kills or so) + 24g in a very short time.
Here's how my last few bubs went (Orion's Belt worn) :
__Time_____________Bubs (at lvl 49)
9.00..........................6.57
9.22..........................7.12
9.38..........................7.68
9.50..........................8.00
9.57..........................8.26
10.03.........................8.51
[break]
10.32.........................8.79
10.48.........................9.07
10.54.........................9.32
10.57.........................9.57
11.10.........................9.91
11.15.........................Ding 50
If there's a quicker way, nobody told me....
