I was on my 42 Dnc/bst in qufim. Exp per kill was 80-120. Everything EP. It was pretty nice.

With or without a ring on? If that was without... I'm leveling RDM. End of story.

This actually makes me want to go back. <_<;


But I'm still having fun with DCUO and really don't have the time to play 2 MMOGs! >_<

Didn't you read? You can make that...

/ja "quit job" <me> <wait 5>
/ja "Go to bosses house" <me> <wait 5>
/equip Legs "Nothing"
/equip Waist "Your Mother"
/ws "Pentathrust" <bt>

...now. It fits.

I just leveled BST from 1-10 in about 1h 15 minutes.

i try not to use xp rings unless i know i'll finish it. so no ring and no sig either (if that matters).

Everything i was fighting was borderline TW. Level 42 is the highest you can do pages in qufim. Even then most of the pugils are TW and you'll have to find the lucky high level one to finish the page.

Re: Battle Adjustments (02/01/2011)

I just spent an hour and a half in Sky working on a few of my skills. I went in as 90NIN/45DNC and planned on skilling up Katana, Evasion, Parry and Ninjitsu. All of those skills are around 220 with the exception of Parry which I have no idea how to skill-up at a faster pace. After an hour of only killing birds near the zone entrance, I managed to get 12 skills in Katana, 8 in evasion, 2 in Parry and 17 in Ninjitsu.

All I did was set my Taru into attack, Hojo and Jubaku the bird, Utsu myself... Haste Samba when I had the TP and used Blade: Jin when I got over 100TP. When any of the buffs wore, I recast and kept going. I managed to kill about 30 birds in the time I was there and the skills seemed to come a little higher and a little faster. I was also getting 120 Limit Points/kill.

All in all I'd say that the increase in skill gain is noticable and definately faster than it was before. I'd have to fight some things that are considered EP for my skill cap to be sure of the exact increase. Once I get above 300 points in any of those skills, I'll do more research into the exact rate of increase.

Re: Battle Adjustments (02/01/2011)

This wasn't said and I highly doubt it, but did they increase the skill rate of crafting? That skill rate is raised in much the same way except they are not (obviously) battle-related. Kind of wondered if they changed it somehow inadvertently without meaning to. That would be pretty awesome, as much as I doubt it.

Re: Battle Adjustments (02/01/2011)

90exp for EP is probably going to speed things up. I'm going to start leveling BST tonight because of it.

Do you know if EM is still the trigger requirement for exp chaining or have they given some slack for that? You should be able to easily handle EM/T as BST and chain them for a bigger boon on the bonus especially with the changes. Can't say the same for other classes (okay, maybe SMN might be able to take care of themselves as well)

Did this include that thingy (Please forgive me, I have been out of the loop for so long, but it's like leves in FFXIV ... in the beginner zones you got to do some "missions" every 24 hours for boon to exp and the patch removed the cooldown off this)

You're thinking of Fields of Valor.

Re: Battle Adjustments (02/01/2011)

Heh, your almost wasting time now getting more than one page at this point (at least for those low levels (imo)). Don't you get like ~300xp per page? You can probably kill 3-4 EP/DCs now in the time it would take you to get another page.

I did one Field of Valor Page, so only about 300exp of the run from 1-10 came from that; the only stopping I did was for some resting. As for chaining, I don't know that they've changed that at all.

Killing Jugs in Garliage Cit. with DC > EM pets on my BST getting about 480-500 exp without chain on jugs and with Emperors ring I get about 700-750 exp. Good stuff, I think SE should have implemented this and had a higher cap on entrance to Abbysea zones and all would be well in Vana'diel. Oh! Kill item drop rates for farmed up items such as Angel Skin etc. too in Abby, jeez the AH is barron these days.

Angel Skin is worth no more than NPC price because it's mainly used to make cursed items, which aren't so popular anymore. Unless SE add in some substantial (Magian style) upgrades for Neptunal Abjuration gear, it's hard to see why Angel Skin's prices would recover.

Re: Battle Adjustments (02/01/2011)

I went into Aby Grauberg on PUP (I had been there Sunday night and parked outside the maw) and at ~300 H2H (went from 299 to 305), I even saw an 0.4 and 0.5 in the same attack. I didn't check how much Kenbishi gained, but the "bigger numbers" were exactly what I expected -- 0.4s and 0.5s when I would never have seen them before.

I haven't done any exp outside of Abyssea since then, though. The update came just in time for me to feel like messing around in there after having gotten most of the important Atmas.

480-500? 700+ with the ring? Good lord! I can't wait to level RDM now. I'll be level 45 in less than 24 hours with a little solo work, 1 party in Qufim Island and a trip to abyssea.

Guess who just found his goal for Saturday.
