Hey good job guys! I like all the changes to the original except the addition of the new mentioned altars. TT bears no special mentions unless in the context of XP maxing; and what's this about magic immune random bosses?

Anyway where do we link it? Main page and MainNav? Tinker (talk) 17:59, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Updated the main page. Meant to do that last night when I was editing, but I must have forgotten. Don't think there's a good place for it on mainnav. I fixed the reference to "physically immune" to "physically resistant" for Taurog. --Darvin (talk) 23:24, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I 100% was talking about the high-XP learderboard when I brought up TT. At the moment, that's where it fit in the best, but it could definitely fit better if "leaderboard strategies" had its own subcategory. I have no idea how most/least damage would work, though. MTaur

Least damage is redundant with least XP in most scenarios; Monk and Vampire runs are pretty much the only cases where those two are going to deviate substantially. Getting most damage is about ramping up as quickly as possible to a high level, then continually damaging the same monsters and allowing them to heal. It's a bit of an odd-duck compared to the other metrics. --Darvin (talk) 19:08, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

BTW I'm not sure if L1 bosskills should be mentioned, they're out of question for most dailies but possible for some (I did 2-3 already, though I'm admittedly a very cheeky player...). Just not sure if folks would die more if they go for it without having done, like, a dozen before... Tinker (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Probably talk in more general terms about low-level boss kills, and how it's a high-risk/high-gain strategy to get a very high score for experience. --Darvin (talk) 20:17, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me like L1 boss kills belongs on a totally separate page, like a shenanigans page of some sort linked from the main page. - MTaur

Hey Darvin, I see you went a bit nuts with all the calculus for lowest-possible XP, though is this really needed on the D.E.R.P. page, especially in such detail? If folks find this content useful, it might make sense to have a separate page - I kinda like the 'shenanigans' term, or call it 'random objectives' or something - and list stuff like this there. It can link from DERP etc., but I'd prefer to keep the DERP page tight and readily useful for all players who look it up because they want a bit of help just winning their dailies...

Good point there; I did kinda go nuts and the section got expanded significantly. Feel free to migrate that off to a separate page if you like. --Darvin (talk) 21:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

I kind of simultaneously updated the page a bit, but I think the separate section somehow automatically didn't overwrite other changes that happened in the mean time. So that's nice. - MTaur
