[dev1188] Job Points - Discussion

[Byrth]

German version apparently specified that the enemies must be level 96+, which is higher than worms. Heroes zones cap out around 99, so they might work. This is probably just going to cause xp parties in Adoulin areas.

I look forward to seeing more of these!

Don't see why it would make adoulin exp parties, unless they revamp party xp, which I wish they would.... Trust has made non-aby parties pretty lackluster

Worm parties... All of us old time, old school players wished abyssea didn't ever exist. At least we wouldn't have to worry about not finding exp parties in places like yorcia, marjami, or outer ra'kazmar. Or even have to rely on "Trust Spells" to even exp there for that matter. But whatever.

I find it interesting that SE (a little too late like...5 years too late like cait sith but still) finally has a new job point system and I am looking forward to this.

Gah. Don't start speaking for "all of us old time, old school players". Please.

That said, of the three zones you mentioned, the only one appropriate for EXP parties is Marjami Ravine, and that's just going to be colibri (well, tulfaires :-D) all over again. The majority of the mobs in both of the other zones are - at best - unpleasant to EXP on, meaning you're stuck with Twitherym, practically speaking. (Nobody wants to EXP on treants, saplings, funguars, or snapweeds, which are the four main choices in Yorcia, and I don't believe there's a panopt camp available; and in Outer Ra'Kaznar, the mob choices are "fomors with high-end weapon skills", Umbrils, skeletons, hounds, giant twitherym, iron giants, and supposedly dullahans, combined with navigation being a potential nightmare.)

Heck, Kamihr Drifts is more friendly to leveling in, and your options are Raaz - which actually aren't horrible to fight - orange sheep and rams, and... well, you get my point, I think. EXP parties aren't just about "are there mobs that give good EXP", remember.

The XP parties I've done in Adoulin so far have mostly been in Woh Gates (for whatever reason). When soloing, I typically just go near Waypoint 2 in Kamihr and kill Sheep/Rabbits/(as few Rams as possible). I'm not convinced that soloing with Trusts is necessarily better xp/hr than doing a full party of competent players because I have not really done the latter, but I was getting something like 110 xp/sec doing my Kamihr fights back when the double XP campaign was on.
