Never really did a 1 hour check of how much exp I get per hour til now..

Finished in 1 hour around an even 50 million. I feel like that is lacking alittle bit.
Maybe its due to me worrying about loot like Amulets/Rings/Gloves/Legs/ unid 63's.

Any input is appreciated!

** Edit: Forgot to mention. I run on MP1 with Hellfire, 25% helm, Hellfire on follower. **

50m an hour is cool.
I have a recent post Alkaiser Run with Leoric Signet which tabulated my XP gained per run.

In summary, I ran with Hellfire Rings 35+7, Ruby 25 and a Leoric Signet. Movement speed +34%.
MP0. Standard Alkaiser. I average 8m+ per 10 minutes, which is my standard time of completing an Alkaiser Run.

Recently I switch from DW to perma Tempest Rush. I suspect this has increased my efficiency, but I didn't bother to re-check.

** Edit: Oh, I did pick up the followings:

Amulets, Rings, Gloves, Legs, Belts, 1H. Flawless Emerald/ Ruby if they happen to be just under my cursor.
I skip class specific items. I skip chests in the open field. I skip corpses except guards with '!' on top. I do open regular chests in the Keep.

Douvinsky! Lemme borrow dat ring! :P

If only for one run just to see how much experience I get with it and if it's worth getting.

NigthCrawler9!

I no longer hold possession of it >-< I was in debt after borrowing some gold from a friend to buy a VW hence I [insert: please don't tell Anuiran this!].

What I think: +24% XP on Leoric Signet ~~ you have to consider the overall effectiveness/ impact on your farming run, taking into account that you should already have +35%+7%+25-29% from the other pieces (and 5xNVs=75% will come naturally during the run), and the low DPS from Leoric Signet. Leoric Signet set me back about 6-8k DPS, from a total of 150k DPS. I don't think it affects my "one shot most mobs" in MP0, although it may cause 1-3 seconds delay in killing elite packs. I think a few seconds delay when dealing with elites do add up in the whole run, but I should be a little bit better XP wise with Leoric Signet. I am not sure where you are in terms of DPS/ MP levels, just an alert that it is not always better with Leoric Signet ~~ sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes it doesn't make much a different, depending on how much it slows you down. Personally, I like to wear my Unity Ring more! I am in no rush to gain P level now (after rushing madly for over 20 P levels).

Oh damn!!!

50M/hour seems to be near the cap (at least for monks). I suppose it's possible to earn a bit more if you're sprinting or TRing the whole time and not stopping to pick up any rares. I just couldn't do this since some rares (weapons, jewelry) are still BiS and the right roll on one of these would have you nearly set for the entire duration of this game. Plus, really, the incentive to earn slightly more exp/hour is so tiny that it would be like running past lottery tickets on the ground to get 5 mins ahead in line for some crappy movie.

@Metta

Yes.

As long as I am earning XP at a decent rate I want to have fun. Fun to me currently is still breezing through the mobs in MP0-1, like slicing knife at To-Fu (a kind of bean curd product). Still at MF cap. I always feel deficient should I not at cap.

Although my focus is not really on XP now, but since I play low MPs and my gears already yield max MF, I have nothing else to put in helm except ruby, and I do not need the extra DPS to replace Hellfire. So, I think I am running for both XP and MF at nearly max speed in terms of time efficiency.

What could change for me? Only if I get lucky to upgrade both my DPS and survivability significantly to run higher MPs, with more or less the same efficiency. Challenge? I am not for it, unless it is equally rewarding!

Bought a SoJ and replaced my Hellfire Ring with it. So, My XP bonus % decreases to only a ruby and Hellfire on follower. The SoJ has +29% bonus damage to elites though. Let the fun begins!
