a new merit system please?

The mobs on the first floor aren't IT, but if you moved up a level or two, you probably could.

Re: a new merit system please?

Has anyone ever tried to exp party in the promyvion areas? What level party would benefit from leveling just on the first floor..? The party could go up a floor when exp started to get slow. Just a thought.

First floor is pretty much all EP-DC at lvl30, you can solo/duo pretty much all except one mob there so you'd have to move up right away.

The other problem is that Empty are like Undead, they're a lot harder then they check. A VT is going to give you VT exp but take about as much work as an IT. I doubt that you'd get good exp in Promyvion.

If you try it you're going to have to start at least on the second floor, possibly the third.

So leveling a job to catch up to a friend's level (unfortunately forgoing the earning merits option) or waiting until level 40 is the best option. With the amount of changes that have been made lately (which I hope most were in response to what the users/fans wanted) I don't think it is totally out of the relm of possibility that SE would consider the option of "level limiting". Maybe I'm being too optimistic, I don't know.

Speaking of the Riverne zone, I think I read some where that exp gain changes as you go up in level..? Is this accurate? I will try to find that post, I believe it was in the Bst forum.

Found it. I started to think the Search Function was > me, but I got lucky.

At the end of the 2nd post Omg says that at level 42 exp starts to wane and suggested that the bst move on. Can someone explain why?

That's the way exp works in all level capped zones. You gain normal exp as long as you're under the cap. Once you go above the cap, you start to take a cut to your exp that's relative to how far above the cap you are (see this link at wiki). This trend continues until you hit a floor of 50% of the exp a player at the level cap would receive. If you are in limit mode though, you get the full exp that a player exactly at the level cap would get.

For example, lets say you went to Riverne A01 and fought an EM Vulture at level 40. You would get 100 exp for defeating it. When you hit 41, you would then receive 86 exp (solo exp for a mob one level below you) in spite of the fact that you are still facing the same challenge as before. At level 42, you would get 72 exp. And at level 43, you would hit the floor of 50 exp, and would continue to get that much exp from that mob until you hit 75 and can switch to limit mode.
