I have been playing around with my arch-mage character to try identify the best way to scum for huge amounts of XP. Thus far wishing for AKWs in the SMC generates the best results. Unlike greater molochs, AKWs can't see invisible - making them easy to pick off with magic missile. With speed minimised at 10, I can usually pick up 8 - 15 million XP per kill for the first 20 kills or so (after that XP starts dropping significantly).
Anyone have any thoughts on how those first 20 or so kills can be scummed for maximum XP? High level AKWs are worth a lot more - but the experience level of the AKWs appears to be randomly generated (varying wildly from as low as 3 to as high as 80 or 90). Reading scrolls of danger did not appear to affect the likelihood of receiving an extremely experienced AKW.
I also tried boosting the speed of the AKWs by throwing blessed potions of speed having first paralysed the AKW (throwing potions "removes" invisibility - and an extremely experienced, speed boosted AKW can destroy a 10000 HP character in one turn!!!) However, killing a speed boosted AKW in the turn that its paralysation wore off, and with my own speed at 10, earned me hardly any XP at all - which makes no sense to me whatsoever!
Anyone got any thoughts re maximising XP scumming through speed manipulation or monster experience boosting?
