  • Promyvion-Holla Weirdness

    Ok guys, this happened tonight and it was really odd, so was wondering if anyone had any idea's or suggestions as to what is behind this.

    So my LS formed a trio tonight to go to Promy-Holla and farm Recollections, as we are going to be working on Promy's in the near future. We were 45 Dancer (me), 75 White Mage and 30 Thief. Anyways, enter the promy, go through the cutscene and get capped down to 30, headed up to the 2nd floor to work on (slightly) harder stuff. Anyways, the first weird thing was mobs were not checking the same to all of us across the board...mobs that were checking EP and DC to me were checking DC and EM to the other two peeps (they always matched each other, I was always the oddball). Since we're all capped at 30 I would think they'd check the same to all of us...an ls mate that wasn't with us at the time said maybe it has to do with our combat skills or something, but we're all capped for 30, so that doesn't make sense. At any rate, this was an intermittent problem, maybe 1/3 of them were checking different to us, and I didn't pay enough attention to see if it was the same mobs that checked different or it was all of them, which I wish I would have now, but anyways...

    So, not only was the /check broken for me, but experience was WAYYY broken...I was getting half the exp as the other two peeps in my party. EP's were yielding me 20ish to their 50, DC's 30ish to their 70, and T's 50ish to their 80+. None of us had Empress Bands on, all of us had fresh signet...so I'm really at a loss as to why I got dicked over on half the experience all night long.

    Has anyone else had problems like this before? If so, was there something you did to "fix" it, or did it just go away? My trio partners think maybe the game just hates me...I tend to have the weird problems that no one else ever does lol. Anyways, any help or advice is appreciated...

    Not sure about your check issue, never had it happen to me.

    But EXP in capped areas are always reduced if you're already above that area's level cap. Since you were level 45, you already get reduced EXP.

    This doesn't apply to limit points however.

      I've never noticed that before...but then again, I've never gone in there with a job 15 levels higher than the cap. That really sucks...you can get regular exp if you're in a normal level-synced party but not in a level capped area? They're like the exact same thing...

      I think S-E needs to tweak that in the next update...and I'd better find a 30 job for farming next time.

        The game doesn't want you to abuse levelling to 75 in strictly one area, as crazy as it sounds, I believe there are certain people who wouldn't MIND doing that.

        Besides, farming there shouldn't take long and you shouldn't need to have a 30 job for it just for that. Mobs suck to kill somewhat and the drops are relatively easy to come by, you can even buy the item yourself really and save yourself the hassle. I believe the items should be no more than 5-10k.

          No, because you stay 30 forever in a capped zone. In a capped party, the party members will inevitably level up.

            You know, I never thought about that (levelling to 75 in the promies). As for the items, we farm them 'cause it's really easy and why spend money you don't have to? I can see why peeps would just buy them, though, if they have plenty of money to do so or are trying to do the promies as quickly as possible. The reason why I said I wanted to find a 30 job to do it with is cause, if I'm already going to be down there farming, I wanna get the exp, too. It's kinda like the bonus to fighting these annoying things, at least for me

            Yeah, good point, didn't think about that. I can see the reasoning behind it, but I still kinda think the exp should be the same, I mean, the mobs are just as hard to kill when you're capped to 30, so shouldn't the reward be the same? With the new level sync, you can do the exact same thing anywhere now...I levelled DNC from 33-45 in Quiffim exclusively. Of course, now my dagger skill blows ass, so I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do there, but that's another issue entirely.
