Congratulations on getting to 99 Dungeoneering Threes! I knew you would do it...eventually...once you defeated that Big Boss called Laziness! :p Just kidding! No bossing for you though, not as a level 3. That is wild!

I have been mentoring a friend who has recently gotten into DG. She was at DG 38 when she started training the skill. Before that, all her DG XP was from lamps and from that Christmas event where you transformed into a seal to slide across an ice maze. She has worked through to complexity 6, and last I knew was at DG 44. Her main goal is DG 45, so she can access the resource dungeon in the Mining Guild. However, now she's saying she may go for DG 50, so she can use three bound items.

What suggestions might you have for her as far as items to be bound? Normally, she ranges. However, she has taken to using melee while Dungeoneering. Her current binds are a zeph platebody and plateskirt. I believe her intention is to bind a zeph weapon next. Does this sound like a good plan to you? It's been so long since I trained DG to a significant amount, all my binds are still fractite! O_o

Thanks in advance for any DG wisdom you might have to impart, and again well done on the 99! :D

Oh, and she only does DG solo, just like me. Maybe she'd be open to trying it in a group though. I'm not sure on that.
Actually, magic is best and most effective dps in F2P! Your friend may try to bind these if melee with range: Argonite maul / Argonite 2h / Argonite main-hand and off-hand knives! They're currently the strongest and best tier for F2P DG! Better is to bind cosmic runes for gatestone so you can teleport back to a location if you reach a dead-end or gate a keydoor!

I saw on the home page today they made some changes to DG. I haven't read the patch notes yet, but unless they just changed it, which I doubt they would, F2P cannot bind argonite items, as they are level 60. Substitute zephyrium for aragonite, and you've got a good plan for F2P. She used aragonite knives on the lowest complexities. They were pretty good against the easier bosses, but the tougher ones required her to switch to melee, she said.

Ammo and runes can be bound without counting towards the bound items limit, right?

^ Argonite equipments can be bound, my other account used them! You may need to edit the bind setup from Smuggler! And ammo bind doesn't count as a real item bind but good for binding cosmic runes for gatestone! Tell your friend to spend 50k DG tokens from reward trader to get the quick hometeleport spell then + one more teleport inside DG!
After so many years, you can do solo larges now!

By the way, 80 prayer on my alt now!

That's a lot of prayer training, Threes! Are you just burying bones and spreading ashes by hand, or using other methods like cremation or The Nexus?

In any event, that's a lot of work. Well done! There you go again, not being lazy! :p

Holy Moly! Good work, Threes!

By the way, I've been training DG quite a bit lately. I found out you were right: F2P can bind aragonite armor/weapons, as I have done so myself! I'm still not sure why my first attempt a while back, trying to bind an aragonite 2h, didn't work. The item never went into the bind pool. A glitch, I guess. Now I have an aragonite full helm, platebody, platelegs, and a spear all bound, along with zephyrium main and off-hand longswords for dual wielding. I upgraded my hatchet and pickaxe to zeph, as I've not found any aragonite versions of those yet.

It's too bad F2P can only use up to 3 bound armor/weapon items (4 if dual wielding) at a time. Sure, we can swap them around depending on what else we find. Still, it's annoying. So is not being able to move bound items around on your setup bar. You have to clear the items, then re-add them if you want to reorder them. It's even more annoying not to be able to organize the bind pool. They stay in the order in which they were added, and the only way to achieve a different order is by destroying bound items and getting them again. Bah!

So I was looking over the DG journals I've found, and I'm missing a few from the first 30 floors. 2 of them I know the specific boss to beat in order to have a 1 in 4 chance of getting the journal drop. However, one of them, M and Thok letter part 3, seems to be a completely random drop, from what I read on the Wiki. Do you know if that's true, or is there a way you know of to increase my chances of finding this drop?

By the way, I am really close to DG 74! I'm about 2400 XP away!

^ You can bind multiple items and edit and use them via Smuggler!
I don't know about journal drops as I don't really care about them! :D
