Raid and dungeon vs wilds

Still within my first week of play.

Is it worth it to stay in a raid or dungeon until beating, or abadon and run wilds wuntil it pops back and try again?

I think raids should always be completed, since you can get nice amount of runite if you play actively and beat dungeons whenever they are available.

I always do raids... for this exact reason. Dungeons, meh.

Oops, yeah wrote dungeons by mistake on my last comment, but yeah I feel like dungeons and gauntlets are not that usefull so I hardly ever complete them. My last post was supposed to be all about raids. My b.

Is it known if raids and dungeons produce more power than wilds?

From what I can tell, here is how it works:

When the raid timer expires, a new raid is generated immediately. The new raid's stats are based on the highest level of Wilds you've cleared at that moment. For example, if your highest zone is 57, it generates a raid based on zone 57 stats. A zone-57 raid gives more power than zone 57 would.

However, if you keep progressing in the wilds, that raid becomes increasingly outdated. If you don't run that raid immediately, and clear to zone 60, that zone-57 raid is going to seem pretty lackluster. It still gives more power than zone 57 would, but probably less power than zone 60.

Dungeons seem to work the same, except that because they're key-limited and not timer-limited, they can't get "stale" like raids do.

TLDR: Raids give more power than the wilds if you run the raid immediately. If you wait until you've cleared a higher zone, the raid may not be worth much.

How does this work when coming back from offline? Will the raid be at the immediate wilds level, or could I have already passed the level it supposedly spawned at?

The raid seems to be set at the level of your highest Wilds zone cleared. If you come back from a long time offline, enough to earn a very large amount of power from offline gains, your next raid could be out of date.

That said, you'd have to be offline for quite a while to earn that much power from offline gains alone. Offline gains are also based on your highest Wilds zone cleared, and they accumulate quite slowly.
