i've said...
gold & loot are worth more than XP in this game.
early, 100 gold is more appealing than 100 XP
and mid-game [20-30] a RoLS is more appealing than a couple level-ups.
just my opinion, but...
i'm with tek on this one!
im going for my 5th ring, is that the record?!

I guess what i should say also is that it also depends on when you go in as well, if you are mid teens to 20s (even into the 30s maybe) the caves are great but if you go back like i did at level 40+ it becomes more of a chore to get the ring.

Both sides do have great points
I just have a LOVE/HATE relationship with the gargoyle caves.

i dont have a character up to 50 yet,
and at that level (and beyond) im sure my opinion could change.

but hey, seriously...
does anyone else have 5 RoLS yet?

I can't be sure because if people have 2 builds (or more) usually only 1 is on the Highscore List.

I have 4 differnt builds all up to lvl 27 or higher and i only have 1 listed.

I basically moved on after collecting three. I figured one on each hand with a third in reserve for any potential quests that would come up that were only completable by sacrificing such a legendary item.

...ouch!
let's hope it doesn't come to that,
the most i have on one build is two!

Not only that, but I don't even have to watch my screen for potential death. They literally could not possibly kill me unless I intentionally let them by ending turn repeatedly until they finally got enough hits in. If I could find something that could tap my screen for me, I'd leave my dude in the center of the room all night and repeatedly kill anything that attacked me all night long, every single night without any fear of death.

BWM could have a bed on both ends, mine does I never ran all the way up though, I cleared the area around the cabin and slept immediately. There was a lot of empty walking making the whole trip, and I found a better exp/min ratio by just staying near the cabin.

just my honest opinion

TRUTH! Even with this high a level, I could probably level up in hour to an hour and a half. My cat just woke me up to let him outside so he could go potty and I ran to the caves for poops and giggles and scored 115k in about 15 minutes. A RoLS may be worth 4 levels to some people (I obviously don't agree; that would easily more than make up the stat differences between RoLS and PRoB) but unless you are INSANELY lucky, you are missing out on way more than 4 levels playing with gargoyle T&M. I'd probably be level 100 by now if I had stayed in the Iqhan cave.

I got 3 when grinding in v.6.9 Perhaps it is time to back

Ok if I hop on the list??

Oh please, you'll get bored with that level 22 and start over. You always do.

im hoping that my self-imposed Lv.1 challenge will be a nice break from semi-high level grinding
i really want to see how much stronger this build will be [the results of my research ]

and i plan to save a couple skill points for the update (just in case)
i can hit top 20 in no time [unless tek is right ]
