    Question about Amdapoor Keep

    Ok guys so i stopped playing the game about some months ago and i came back recently to it, i had my character at lv 50 and the last dungeon i had made was WP. Recently i opened some new content like AK for me and I usually research about new dungeons on youtube before i actually try it since I play as a tank. Most videos i watch are all about speedruns, so i would like to know if is this usually how its done AK when playing PUGS? And most videos were about 4 to 2 months ago so im not sure if it can still be done like that or if anything important changed from up to now with the recently patches, any information you can give me i aprecciate it since im having some troubles to find it, or if anyone could just throw something from youtube here and say "this is how you should do" that would be even better haha, well thanks for the attention guys.

    From my experience no one expects a SR in the Duty Finder.
    AK has been dumb down since you last played and it is still a very easy run. Just pull each pack as you get to them. The mechanics are all still the same.
    Going at a decent pace you'll finish the dungeon around 20 minutes or so if no one dies.

    I don't think people really run AK much anymore unless they need it for Relic or some other quest. Haukke Manor HM is very good for farming since you get 50 Myth from it and it's an easy run with half way competent people.

    As a tank, you can set the pace of the group for AK. As cyan stated, AK now a days is really just a quest part of relic reborn or a random duty roulette. In both those instances, people are prepared to go at regular story pace (minus cut-scenes). Just make sure to tell them that your still new to the dungeon so they know what to expect

    No speed runs for AK generally. Good dps is definitely nice to have.

    Mr. Happy has a video for AK that's specifically non-speed-run. It's pre-2.1, but nothing's really changed. This is pretty much the kind of run people expect in DF.

    Thank you for the reply guys! I was able to run it 3 times since then and i believe all the runs were pretty smooth, guess i will do a couple more runs to get better gear and focus on copperbell and haukke manor HM, thanks for the help again!

    Gear in AK is lower, i55 I think, your i60 stuff now drops from Haukke and Copperbell. Personally, unless you get Copperbeel from Roulette, just focus on Haukke, it's an easier run.

    Looks like you're using a different Duty Finder to the one I am.
