I generally run the entire cave system, stay in the last room for 2 minutes, then run out. If I have other things to do I do those leaving my guy outside, otherwise clearing all those bridges, the pond and all the frogs along the river takes me just over 2 minutes 90% of the time, so the cave is full again.
I just wish we could use those beds in near the pond... perhaps for a price of 500 claws, I miss the instant resetting when sleeping...
Yes, I too was wondering what we'd get when we sold him 20 claws. It drastically increases the amount of gold you can get for the claws, but that's it. I don't know why they're so undervalued when compared to the White Wurm claws, but whatever, gold is not too much of a concern for anyone who is above level 30, unless they're trying to get 5 million gold

I was planning on doing my timed experiment for exp gain like I did between BWM and the RoLS area. If I get around to it, I'll post it up.

I've timed some of my runs, worked out for me, from the cave entry, through the cave staying in the main room at the end till re-spawn in the outer cave takes just under 10 minutes on average (9:25-10:10) gained an average of 46,812 xp (QL removed) I averaged 4720 xp per minute. (Timed four runs total, also only averaged 610 gold per run (doesn't count items which I can sell).
Also... Dam you for having more hp than me... lol

Sorry, that's the Fortitude 4 kicking in. Don't worry, I'm not on a restart. If you are you will pass me by and have extra skill points to dump into something else, and I will be gaining HP beyond anything I will ever need.
P.S. I should be at 181 HP within the hour...

Found another place to stand in the cave... When you walk up into that room that doesn't go anywhere as you leave it puts you directly behind the gray curtain on the next map. You don't get touched if you stand there...
