imperial standing points!

[Tagihi]

Well the old fun besieged area is pretty much dead, No one going there to make exp party beacuse everything is based in abyssea.

Here is tricky part for new players who need maybe do blue mage quest artifact, need travel use runic portals but can't beacuse getting points is very slow.

I hope they can increase imperial standing gains by either trade in crystals, repeat quests, or more higher % from monsters.

Well they could do Ground Tome variant in ToAU areas, or FoV version - but as you are well aware - old contents are not their top priority now. Everything pre Abyssea is considered DEAD to them. Some adjustments were made during 2011-2012 when they are stalling us for SoA. Now that SoA is here, forget everything else, even Abyssea content is dead for them. No old contents will be touched or tweak till at least early next year, if they ever do. Your best bet is to create your own party of 3 and chain Tough mobs. Or you can level beastmaster the old school way and get good enough points.

Well, the rate from killing mobs with Sanction up is 10% of xp (same as other similar point systems). It can stack steadily if you are picking the right targets (especially now that you get double xp, and the bracketing has been revamped for post level 75). The trick I guess is knowing where to find the higher level mobs they added a while back (the 85+ targets they added a few years back deeper in the outlying areas, NOT the lower ones closer to town--the 10-15+ difference in levels has a profound impact on the xp). This could double your return (if not more) with the tweaking they've made to experience point acquisition.

Alternatively, you can try hitting some besieged. You now get up to 15k Exp and 5k IS a pop for full level 8, and at level 99, there is little excuse for not capping your besieged rewards.

Besiged is easily the best for IS, doesn't take many people at all.

FoV/GoV was designed to alleviate the congestion in campaign and ToAU areas and now those areas are dead while people fight over page mobs. The only way they are gonna get people back in those areas is to add manuals/tomes or give a dramatic increase to the the XP bonus from sanction/sigil.
