You get XP increadibly fast in the dungeon in nightmare mode. And: it is 
quite a safe place, I think it´s safer then hell in nightmare or perhaps 
even safer than the caves in nightmare, though not quite sure. Anyway: 
you surely get more XP and much more money there. After my sorcerer 
reached lvl 30, I never had any money problems any longer except for the 
one: where to put all that money? :) You get something like 20k for one 
lvl in the dungeon (perhaps less in the first, but more in the last 
ones). I started with 20k and have as much as 50k now, even after buying 
several expensive books (mana shields, teleport, golem, elemental and so 
on) and each elixir I could buy.

And as I said before: it is not dangerous. A Golem will kill everything 
in lvl 1 and 2 (except perhaps the butcher, not quite sure) and will do 
good work even in lvl 3 and 4. (after you killed skeleton king and his 
archers of course).
