    I'd prefer it over that, more due to how disruptive a Doll's Meltdown can be, and don't have to worry about running back and forth to turn in. Caps out at 2960 per page on XP. Times I have done it, average about 12-15k XP a pull easily when pages are capped, able to get up to around 25k pull if get both sides, easier to alternate sides to avoid depops and have less downtime for the BST pet and repops. Downtime had was more when the person pulling was experimenting with how to best optimize the pulls, or when the pet decided to go into the walls and we had to just wait. At low levels, just have to beware of the BLM's if they decide to -Ga a lot.

    And it definitely beats some other common GoV burn locations if just going for XP, as fairly easy to round up the mobs on top of them being very numerous.

    Yeah, the reason I ask is because I'm leveling a few new jobs on my mule and generally just messing around while I wait to see what happens with the devs.

    I messed around in altep on sam and was able to get up to about 135,000 xp/hr for my mule. There was no point in doing the ops on my sam seeing as I capped out in the first couple hours on EXP / Merits. I just kept pulling the mobs close to the sergeant on my sam while I ran back and forth on my mule.

    I probably could have actually gotten a lot better exp if I had changed merits / jobs / gear a little. I was very lazy about it.

    I don't mind the running around killing stuff part, but the turning in pages thing was really tedious.

    Hopefully they set a plan in stone some day so that I can set goals again. At the moment, no piece of gear is safe. No point building sand castles when the tide is coming in ya know?

    Just gonna estimate XP per hour based off of repop times and page xp for you if get in a good groove. At 5min repops for the antica, could get 12 pulls from one side if did it perfectly, so if get good on the timing with alternating up to 24 pulls in an hour at best. Figure 18 pulls per hour is more realistic results for most people, so 18*12,000, would come out around 216k xp an hour with capped pages. As I know once me and my friend got the hang of the place, the mobs would begin repopping just about the time got back to the where started the pulls.
