The Blackburrow 3200

[iRFNA]

3200, the number of fangs that can fit in 16 10-slot bags, as in a full inventory and bank of them. What can these fangs do for you?

Let's say that a single fang can give a lv 10 human wizard half a yellow bubble. That means 10 fangs for a level! Looking at the nifty XP formula, the amount of XP for a wizard to go from 10 to 11 is:

110*10*1.0*11^3 - 110*10*1.0*10^3 = 364100 XP

Let's divide that by 10 and round it down a little for a more pessimistic estimate, netting 30000 XP per fang!

If you were to gather the absolute maximum amount of fangs to fill some cheap tailored 10-slot bags in every slot your character possesses, what could it do for you? Let's even ignore the moonstone quest, and assume farming BB for fucking ever has gotten you to lv 18. You approach Captain Tillin with sweaty human wizard palms. Will you get a happy ending?

30000*3200 = 96000000 XP
110*10*1.3*41^3 - 110*10*1.0*18^3 = 92141830 XP to get from 18 to 41
128000000 -115397920 = Lv 41 is yours with 3858170 XP (25% to 42) to spare!

That's right. That's all you need to get to the 40s. What does it take to go from 18 to 60?

110*10*2.6*60^3 - 110*10*1.0*18^3 = 611344800 XP
611344800 / 30000 per fang = 20378.16 fangs, or 6.37 full loads of 3200.

So if you do the ol Blackburrow 3200 lucky 7 times, you will be lv 60 without ever having to face the slightest risk. What are you waiting for?

I like this thread. Thanks for posting.

I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon

[planeofdreams]

Wouldn't it still be faster to kill boars in Elwynn Forest?

[webrunner5]

Somehow I can envision another BARD thread out of this. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Total zone pulls for fangs. Not a pretty sight. Maybe faster XP than OT?

Why not move on to orc scalps?!

[SCB]

Only 22,000+ kills. No way that could be less efficient than anywhere else.

Lol, legit post.

This was awhile back when I last turned in gnoll fangs. I remember it taking exactly 100 gnoll fangs to go from level 14 to level 15 as a Gnome Necromancer. That would make each gnoll fang worth 7,000 XP not 30,000 like you suggested, but maybe the quest XP has changed since I last did the quest.

I would atleast be curious enough to try it. I've been under the impression that quest exp rewards scale down as you go up in level, but I could just be imagining that as it takes more exp to finish each level.
