    Exploiting the first-timer dungeon bonus

    Problem have been resolved, it was my own confusion. Please do not reply to this thread anymore and let it sink.

    Old post:
    In patch 2.1, dungeon experience gain is getting a boost. Together with rested and first-timer bonus, it should be even better than FATE grinding now.

    Since first timer bonus seems to be dependent upon downing the final boss, it seems there's a loop-hole open to exploits:

    Always leave a dungeon before the last boss until you are ready to go into the next dungeon.

    To avoid this causing disruption to leveling dungeons, shouldn't the first-timer bonus be rolled into regular dungeon experience itself, and do away with this bonus completely? I would dread to see DF adopting the standard that all leveling dungeons parties are dismissed before the last boss just to maintain the first-timer bonus.

    Even if the first timer bonus is modified to be a lump sum experience reward for downing the last boss, it will only encourage people to leave any DF party that doesn't show a first-timer bonus.

    Anyone know the specifics of the first-timer bonus? Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing. :3
