I despise Aurum Vale.

[VargasVermillion]

one of the better designed dungeons imo, the former 1.0 ones are overall the better designed, with exception to toto-rak but i can understand why it's like that.

In 1.0 the Air in Aurum Vale was Toxic.
If you were in the areas with molten gold on the ground you would get a Poison Debuff from even standing in those rooms.

The Debuff dmg could be reduced though

That dungeon is way harder than any other expert dungeon we had and have currently. <.<

Because you can't overgear it with a normal DF party.

Current AV is easy mode. Who did this dungeon during 1.0 and was in a party who had it on speedrun mode (20 minutes or less for the 5th chest from the final boss), the current AV feel like a breeze.
No poisoned air (only poisoned liquid) and no snail adds during the Coincounter fight (they started to cast their AoE the moment someone moved) and no strict requirements to get all chests from the final boss.

SE should think about to bring Cutter's Cry (1.x mode) and Aurum Vale (1.x mode) ^^

Simple fix. Up cap one level to 50. Then its all good!

Oh I love it! It's the first real "grown up" dungeon in my opinion. So it does seem to stump noobs which can make it frustrating for healers (like not eating fruit or standing in the gold goo).

I fear Aurum Vale more than A3S

If you can fight a morbol, you can fight a goblin?

Aurum Vale Hard Mode!

I used to love hitting 50 in this dungeon. Go from ilvl 46ish to ilvl 120. Always felt good, even if you were level synced. Would be a let down if you got 50 from the last boss though, always wanted it halfway.

I always get to like 99,9% exp towards 50 and have to go to NT to whack some random mobs. So underwhelming to ding in the middle of nowhere after killing a basilisk. >_<

Anyway, AV is quite nice imo. I LOVE doing it as a white mage, because the damage patterns during boss fights are perfect for regen. Easymode cleric stance dance. When running it as dps I see how some white mages underestimate the potency of regen and never use it. It ends up making the run way harder than it needs to be.

I had to do it like 30 times in a row for my relic.
I used to hate it but now I have Stockholm syndrome towards it.

I love you aurum vale senpai
