You Pick It said :
Can anybody tell me the best way to do sinkholes? Like should my focus be to explore all the rooms first? or should I focus more on killing the monsters?

Well I can tell you what I do...

First off, it helps to have the maps memorised, it seems there are only a few map layouts that are possible. Of these map layouts is it good to know what is a dead end and what is not (takes time and practice). I usually avoid dead ends. Generally if someone is with you, taking the same path as you, once you get ahead of them and they see you going one direction, they usually will go the opposite way from you, even if it is a dead end. Which is good, you want them in a dead end, while you're on a lovely path filled with monsters for you to slay.

If there are multiple people in the same room with you, I'd say skip that room and just run right to a door and continue from there. No point in trying to fight over monsters you might not get the drop to, wasting time. And hopefully as mentioned above, you pick a non-dead end, and the other person/people will go a different way when they see you going this way.

I generally pick up exploratory totems first off, and any card that is under them so that someone can not get the card and use it against you. Though if you see an ibis card, I'd suggest leaving it on the ground if you have the full set, so that someone else can have a chance at an outfit piece. Then I just rush combat totems as fast as I can, I melee as it seems to be fastest attack speed and monsters are usually low HP, so it's often 1 quick hit and done. After there are no more monsters, start skilling. If you see a tree/plant/pool with green particles swirling around it, gather from there first as it is double resources.

Deposit whatever you have at any bank you find along the way. Don't wait to get a full inv. Try to deposit often. Be as fast as possible. Open any chest you find along the way for cards. RSC - Gone, but never forgotten.

Well.. That was a lot longer than I intended it to be...

Edit: And I'm sure others have different methods than me, so I'd continue asking around. The more you know, the better. But this usually works well for me. :) RSC - Gone, but never forgotten.

I spy a Radwanska in game. :o

Also one more sinkhole tip: Learn the uses of all cards if you haven't already. I missed out on a fair bit of xp because I thought a meerkat card would replace my chest with a medium lamp when it actually gives a medium lamp on top of what you already have. Silly Leta.
