Sure that 1250 from blue chests is nice but they don't drop every 10 seconds.

Last week i went to abyssea to get a couple merits on a 99 job. I made 400k experience in just about 2 hours (which obviously includes leaving to dump merits). As a level 30 coming in to key/leech you won't get anywhere near that average for the first few hours you are there.

You don't know what you are talking about. At this point you just look like a fool. If you had backed down and admitted that your original statement was hyperbole then maybe we could have a conversation.

Note: you also addressed none of my other points, some of which are certainly debatable. You chose to argue against me on something that anyone who has actually tried to burn as fast as possible knows is wrong. My personal record is 48 hours from job unlock to 99. It took me another 5.5 hours to cap skills. I have every job at 99, would i play most of them, hell no. My gear is sub-par and i don't know enough about the job to play effectively, BUT, I also wouldn't have learned that in an xp party. I can read, do research, and learn.

Sorry you did address the RMT issue. You are still making an assumption. I'm not saying your assumption is baseless (or wrong for that matter) but it is still an assumption with no actual proof to back it up.

Oh like it takes all day to raise lights- 500+exp at max lights but that doesn't mean you can't get 1,250exp from blue chests.

What sever are you from?? Maybe that's the problem :p

Try addressing the actual points I make. I never said it takes all day to raise lights.

At a rough guess it will take somewhere between 1 and 2 hours to cap gold, and far longer to cap ebon, to maximize experience gain.

Again, address the points I am actually making, anything else makes you look even more foolish than you already do.

Ha I laugh at you, it maybe takes that long if everyone in the party is below 85.

Now had you several 99's there joining for the Cruor/merits/testing new weapons, ws whatever, worm camp is not hard, especially blm can ja spell several worms at a time.

Are you seriously debating that DDs with Delve weapons would take 2 hours to cap your lights? Troll harder-

You're right, worm camp is easy.

BLMs can kill several mobs at once, if they're clustered together and not massacred by the roaming DDs before the spell even gets off. Being able to "-ja spell " several mobs at once doesn't eliminate the basic limitations of respawn time either, but that's a whole different issue that I'm sure you won't (read: can't) address.

I didn't say it would take 2 hours to cap lights. I said it would take between 1 and 2 hours to cap gold. Not every chest that drops will be red, and not every red chest will be gold.



Once again you are showing a complete lack of understanding on how things actually work in the game.

Edit: Editing your posts after i respond makes you look even more pathetic.

I'm at work right now but I'm too busy trying to respond to your negative trolling efforts instead of attending the crowd I'm spinning for right now :p

That's why the edits..

Doing a little quick research shows that it takes just under 1.9M xp to get from 30 to 99. That means for your mythical "6 hours" you would have to average 315k/hr. There is no possible way that you will enter abyssea at level 30 and manage to average 315k over a 6 hour period. The numbers just don't add up.

If I went in to abyssea at 99 and joined a party of 99s and we went on a massive killing spree for 6 hours we could probably average that. The reality is that in an abyssea experience party that is not the situation. You will have people that are level 85 (and lower) working there way up to 99. Not everyone will be a pimped out endgamer trying out there new shinies.

But again this mythical "6 hours to 99" also includes levels 1-30. Your argument is so patently false it blows my mind that you are still trying to back it up.

PS. Correcting someone spreading misinformation is not trolling, continuing to spread the misinformation is.

When you enter Abby at 30 where the party is already there, has all lights capped, can cap your lights so you can start getting exp within 20-30 minutes, other keyers opening several exp chests that give 1,250 exp per box obviously there lights already capped meaning you get 1,250 exp right away 315k divided by 6 is 52k per hour. You are saying its impossible to make 52k exp per hour in Abby?

If worms give 500 exp per kill divide 52k that means the party needs to kill 104 worms per hour to achieve 52k exp goal and that's not including Exp from chests.

Again you have just exposed yourself as having no clue what you're talking about. In addition you apparently can't read.

Edit:

1.9 million experience TOTAL

315k per hour

that would be 52k every 10 minutes

These are rough numbers. The real numbers would be a shade over 315k/hr but I don't think we need to get it down to the exact digits to prove you don't know what you're talking about.

Why am I wasting my time, the point is people can level to 99 in 1 day-
I'm quick replying so didn't read everything you wrote-

And yes I have to edit between each record rather than start a new reply each time-

Tell us all how much exp you can get in 1 hour-
You do know that 500 is not the max exp you can get- ive gotten up to 600exp per kill.

And 0-30 doesn't take hours with exp band, level to 10 and head to gusgen mines reach 30 and head to Abby-

I never said you couldn't level to 99 in one day. In fact I pretty clearly said it could be done (I believe the time frame I gave was 12 - 18 hours). What I dispute is the nonsense that it can be done in 6 hours. Again, if you had owned up to the hyperbole of your original statement you wouldn't look like a fool now. You claimed it was possible to level from 1 - 99 in 6 hours. You were wrong. Man up, admit it and move on.
