Changes to Experience Acquisition(July Patch)

Just saw this on the Official FFXI site, noticed it wasnt posted here yet.

Changes to Experience Acquisition

The next version update will bring the following changes:

-Chain Bonuses in Level-Restricted Areas
Currently, when fighting in level-restricted Chains of Promathia areas, EXP chain bonuses are determined by a player's actual level. However, after the version update, bonuses will be determined by the player's level within the area. This means adventurers will soon be able to earn extra EXP by defeating multiple enemies that are "even match" or higher, just as if the player was fighting in a regular area.

-Slight Adjustments in Experience Acquisition
The player will soon be able to earn experience from monsters of a slightly wider level range than previously possible. As a result, experience points earned by defeating "decent challenge" and "easy prey" monsters will slightly increase.

Check the FINAL FANTASY XI main page for more information as it is released!

Yep, sounds like pretty good news here too. Can't see anyone having beef with this one, but you never know.

Sounds great - more xp when skilling up ^^
Of course, it won't be long before people start complaining about how the new players have it soooo much easier

Good news for thf or nins who solo while LFG. Maybe 1-10 will be faster too (although it really isn't that bad).

Re: Changes to Experience Acquisition(July Patch)

Re: Changes to Experience Acquisition(July Patch)

Sounds good. Maybe soloing will actually be worthwhile now.

Re: Changes to Experience Acquisition(July Patch)

doubt it, they only said slight increase. otoh, soloing 1-10 might not be as painful anymore.

Re: Changes to Experience Acquisition(July Patch)

I skill up alot, WHM acc isn't so great >.>, so these XP increases on low level mobs will be cool. ^.^)b

It's a shame I only have two jobs below 10 though. >.>
