Low level exp parties

[Hawklaser]

Due to the speed of the game 6 man parties will never be good again. Its as simple as that. If you do not increase the speed of XP then people will go to other places that are faster, we have seen that from experience. If you make XP higher, you level to fast, in the Double XP campaigns for instance there were parties in Qufim killing Worms & such for 1k XP a kill before you even think of counting in the XP from chains, having to change camps every 5 kills. This does not make it fun or enjoyable, and the game itself simply does not have enough mobs nearby that do not aggro or link but also scale in level enough to support not having to move every 5 kills with an accelerated XP rate. So in the end you come to the fatal flaw that is FFXI's leveling today. Its impossible to truly fix in my opinion.

Parties are still do-able at later levels, unfortunately they either basically become book burns once mobs get weak enough, or have to skip books completely. However, prior to Garlaige Citadel's Bat/Beetle camp, I don't know of a spot that lasts long enough to even be worthwhile to party for due to the speed of leveling. Which used to be a common camp for level 32's.

This is what I meant though, as you said, no spot lasts long enough due to the speed of leveling.

I mean even if you go by mid-50s, that's around 10k for a level, but with Double XP you get 1k a kill, possibly even 2k with Signet & Kill Chain as well as other things, so you are talking about 8~10 kills per level. In the end your talking about leveling at a very accelerated rate. But the problem is, if you do not make it that fast, people will simply level fast in other places like Abyssea, so you have to pick your poison, either make it to fast so everyone has to change camps so often and gain levels so fast that they change camps every 15~45 minutes, or leave it as it is and almost everyone will simply level faster in other, less engaging ways, such as FCs or Book Parties.

Does monstrosity give you any way to exp faster? Haven't been on the game this week to update my client.

Depends on what you mean. Normal players, no, your monsters level fast. You can not use books or join parties right now, however your monster is so strong I find myself fighting ITs back to back without resting, keeping up a chain at almost all times if the mobs are around to do so, and its very rare for me to struggle with killing anything. I am right now a level 22 RDM Bee soloing level 29 Crabs, Gigas, and Weapons around Qufim getting about 400~500 a kill before counting my chain. So while monsters do not give you a real way to level faster like books, they are so strong that you can keep killing T, VT, and IT mobs so much it wont matter because your XP goes up so fast.
