I feel that I'm having trouble leveling with my Red Mage... How much is general for xp gain on a monster of equal footing to you? And the goblins are owning me.

Re: Goblins Own Me
Are you soloing? Because it gets hard at that level, but it is possible to solo your way to 15ish, just time consuming, you should seek pt while doing so.signatures are for pussies mew mew mew, here's mine

Re: Goblins Own Me
Yes, I'm soloing, I was only just able to get into a party this morning. I went from lv.9 to lv. 12"I'm up for anything, as long as it doesn't get me killed."

Re: Goblins Own Me
At level 56 I still get aggroed by EP mobs, and still fight longer battles than I think I should. While we can solo better than most other jobs have the capability to, our stats show we still have more to fear than some others might.
/sigh, reduced melee ability, the price we pay for Refresh...Comment

Re: Goblins Own Me
Hey BP! XD /piratePoke
Anyway i didnt notice your initial question, ep mobs can give you anything from 9-150 (very ISHY) exp depending on how high you are, the highest you are, the less you get.signatures are for pussies mew mew mew, here's mine

Re: Goblins Own Me
I've soloed quite a few jobs to 15-16 on my own. The important thing to remember is once you hit lvl 10, tough mobs start becoming a bit of a problem, and beastmen mobs are always tougher than others. By the time you hit 12 you want to start thinking about quantity over quality. What that means is that you just mow down tons of easy prey. This gives you very short battles for a bout 20-35 exp. Decent challenge targets are okay as well, giving you upwards of 50 exp per mob, but even they become less efficient the higher up you go.
My numbers might be a bit off, since I haven't soloed in quite a while and they have made changes to how much exp you gain, but you need to realize that at your level, killing a few EP and DC mobs will net you more exp in the same amount of time it takes for you to kill an even match or tough. If you find that decent challenge mobs are giving you problems as well then it's time to focus solely on EP. Don't even waste your time with toughs. It's not worth it. But killing many weak mobs in a short amount of time not only gets you some decent exp at that level, but more drops as well.
Think of it like this, would you rather kill 4 ep in 30 seconds for ~100 exp? Or one even match in ~1 minute for 100 exp?My Signature. Now with 50% more processed ham product than those other leading signatures.

Stick to easy preys, they can give up to 40-47exp now. If you have 200+TP and up for up for a challenge feel free to go for decent mobs. Should give 60-80exp. I personally don't like to stress myself over decent and above tho. It's time to PT anyway :DThere are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,

Re: Goblins Own Me
Make sure you have up to date gear, efficient macros, and are buffed when you are soloing. also keep your debuffs stacked if the mob is kicking your ass, but remember to save mp for cures.
Remember unlike other jobs our main strength comes in being able to outlast the mob by staying alive, not by sheer brute force.
if you are getting inturrupted in spellcasts, throw up aquaveil and time your macro hitting to just before the mob swings. You want your spell to start casting a little before you take a hit.

Other than ranged attacking jobs like RNG and BLM, soloing in the 10-16 range is quite, quite painful. Best bet is to get into a small group (duo works well), if you can't find a full party at that level.
Most beastmen are tougher than they "ought" to be at that level, goblins in particular due to Bomb Toss. The only beastman type that doesn't seem that way are Sahagin (and even there, DRG-type Sahagins hit waaay harder than they should for their level).

Re: Goblins Own Me
I've noticed that drg type Orcs seem to be the same way. Something about DRG beastmen I guess. :p And no this will not degenerate into a DRG hate post x_xOriginally posted by IcemageMy Signature. Now with 50% more processed ham product than those other leading signatures.

Re: Goblins Own Me
At Lv.6, partying is pretty much a waste of time. Just solo to Lv.10, then head try and party. You could party, but with multiple people trying to devide up a low amount of EXP doesn't help you any. You could kill solo and gain more EXP.
For me, I had a bit of trouble getting past Lv.7 for a lot of jobs. (DRG, DRK, & SAM were easy getting to Lv.10 though.) Just have to bear down and grind through!Odude

The trick now, I guess, is to find a party."I'm up for anything, as long as it doesn't get me killed."
