I feel you, I hate watching stuff that drags on too long as well, It might not be noticeable (at least I hope not) but in some of my videos I even take the time to cut out pauses in my speech, some "uhms" and "ahs", rambling, etc. which usually shaves another 20-30 seconds of pointless bloat. I'm not monetized yet though, so that would help motivate more content creation ;)
Added Prevention for CoF bonuses from doubling XP tome rewards in Monoliths This is also technically a bug fix as the XP Tome Reward isn’t a direct item reward. Item Factions are not intended to have an effect on experience gains, only how items are obtained. After today's patch with the above.. is this still valid?
Great video! 1 Feedback I have for you, though; Your microphone volume could be higher. We have to put everything on max levels to hear properly. Cheers!
Yeah I was pretty surprised too when I ran the numbers. I was even more shocked by how much gold you can get which I dug into in part 2. Though gold isn't as exciting as uniques!
thanks for the great info but i need your mic to be louder volume or you just need to speak louder cause i maxed out my speaker volume plus windows volume maxed out and your volume is still pretty low. just a feedback
Fantastic video man, very informative. I just got to rank 8 after a whole lot of grinding haha. So basically its better to smash out xp rewards on lower corruption or even no corruption at all depending on how decent the build is.
Cheers! I appreciate that. If your goal is to play "optimally" I'd say you want to run the highest corruption possible that doesn't result in you slowing down. Also keep in mind some items are boss drop exclusive so you'll still likely want to path towards the outer edge while grabbing xp echos on the way. Do your shades, reset corruption if necessary, and do the bosses.
Thanks man, so far I'm at corruption 175 so far. I did notice in your spreadsheet that you were getting 471 favour per tome across what is empowered timeline now the favour is good in empowered so I went back to non empowered and the favour on each tome was considerably less. I think the favour on the tome might be based on whether its empowered or based on the level since empowered is level 100. @@FrozenSentinel
I made a tier list talking about that, I'll likely have another video on it soon with some discoveries on events / conditions th-cam.com/video/4bDfL4Ytg1A/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! I'm having so much fun playing the actual game that sometimes it's hard to stop long enough to make a video, but I feel like there's a lot information to share right now!
I think there are a number of things you're assuming we know in your explanation... What lenses are we talking about? What are you rerolling for in this example?
At the top of the spreadsheet, I use the 2x use lens, and the 2x quantity lens. I believe they are called "Wealth" and "Rhyme". For the 3rd I personally use more uniques or whatever else I'm looking for. I was specifically rerolling for unique rewards in this example to compare with the equivalent echo reward node.
Pretty sure it still works, it's based on player / area level though, if you are below level 90 or doing non empowered monos it will be significantly reduced.
@@FrozenSentinel yeah its still working, just not the huge boost I was hoping for when trying to grind the massive amount of favor needed to get from lvl 8 to lvl 10. So slooooow.
Great video… I’m level 62 and on normal monolith… I barely get 100 Favour when I pick up all 3 or 6 tomes of experience… does it scale better when doing empowered instead?
Hey yeah, the rewards for empowered monoliths for exp tomes are massive compared to normal monos. Try to race through normal and get into empowered monos asap. The exp from a tome is static and does not scale with corruption btw!
I currently use the 100% less dungeons and 100% less Arenas because I dont really run that content. Is that not optimal? I am ~87 and just running monoliths. If not what lens strategy would you recommend?
Your goal is to get as many rewards as possible per favor spent. The lenses that block stuff from appearing reduce the amount of rerolls, which does increase the items per favor spent, however the 2x lenses reduces the amount of prophecies you need to get the same amount of items. Think about it this way, if you want 8 unique boots, and one reward gives 2 boots, which the blockers you need to roll unique boots 4 times. With the 2x quantity and 2x use lenses you only need to roll it once. They also only increase the cost by 1.8x and 1.9x respectively despite double the yield. For your 3rd lens I'd personally use an item type, or unique if you want Uniques. In my case I want unique helms and chest pieces so I run unique since I can accept either reward. If I only wanted helms I might instead run helm.
@@FrozenSentinel But now I see that you need rank 7/8 for those lenses and I am still on 5. Fastest way to rank up just kill things and try and run XP tome echoes? Thx for your advice.
The faster you gain XP the faster your CoF levels. Going from lvl 60 (around the time you first get your faction) to lvl 100 will give you 1.76M total reputation which is pretty much enough to take you to Rank 9. Rank 10 comes a fair bit after level 100. Also keep in mind spending favor also gives you reputation at 2:1.
Finally a channel that doesn't drag every video out to a minimum of 8-10 minutes to monetize. Thanks for keeping it concise!

Audio was fine for me on my phone where I watched this video. I only had audio on phone speaker at 70% too
brain already exploded at 2:30 THEN IT GOT CRAZIER !!! Thanks for sharing !

Yea, I did some testing and I think it's based on both your level and also the area level. @@MrRussian16
I thought only killing a certain amount of mobs gives you favor. I didn't know that it's scaled on exp. Thanks mate!
Which lenses do you suggest?
I made a tier list talking about that, I'll likely have another video on it soon with some discoveries on events / conditions th-cam.com/video/4bDfL4Ytg1A/w-d-xo.html
Interesting and useful video. Looks like you did a lot of work for that. Nice job. Have a sub.
Thank you! I'm having so much fun playing the actual game that sometimes it's hard to stop long enough to make a video, but I feel like there's a lot information to share right now!
So, what technically would be the best lenses to use to target farm unique boots/chests? The x2 use lens and the 90% cost increase lens for x2 loot?
Yea, and for 3rd you would use unique

earned a sub thnks my guy
does this still work?
Yes, it's just as important. The tomes don't get doubled 35% of the time anymore though
cool thank you@@FrozenSentinel
Does the increased EXP blessing from the Fall of The Outcasts monoliths affect the EXP gain from tomes?
nevermind, found out that they don't affect the exp gain
THIS HAS BEEN NERFED, BUT STILL STRONG: th-cam.com/video/1GMLrk-a0KA/w-d-xo.html
my brother great video. please turn your voice volume up tho its super low ty.
audio is super quiet for some reason
yea that's my bad
Has this been patched out? I dont get crap for XP/favor from the tomes.
Pretty sure it still works, it's based on player / area level though, if you are below level 90 or doing non empowered monos it will be significantly reduced.

Awesome vid! Thank you for your research!
Great video thanks for the insight!
good vid, but.. are you @Xarrio ? because your voices are very alike and you both using spreadsheets and do math lol
lol I can see the resemblance but no I'm not. I'll take it as a compliment though as @Xarrio makes good content :P
Does exp blessing affect getting more favours?
It does not, unfortunately, neither does XP shrine.
where is the audio? almost silent
Yea, youtube doesn't let me fix it without re-upload so not much I can do
Great video… I’m level 62 and on normal monolith… I barely get 100 Favour when I pick up all 3 or 6 tomes of experience… does it scale better when doing empowered instead?
Hey yeah, the rewards for empowered monoliths for exp tomes are massive compared to normal monos. Try to race through normal and get into empowered monos asap. The exp from a tome is static and does not scale with corruption btw!
I got about 1/3 the xp @ 81 vs 100 doing empowered, so I'd say it ramps up approaching the full value as you approach lvl 100
amazing tips, thanks a lot
Q: Does the 8% exp bonus blessing from the timeline reward will boost my CoF farm once im 100 ???
No it does not unfortunately

thanks bro, subd
prophecy farming is so effective, makes monolith target farming shit
Yup, it basically trivialized everything else, I don't really mind though, the prophecies still add some flavor to the end game loop
