Success = DO THINGS EXACTLY AT YOUR LEVEL
Hello all...WITH EACH MAJOR PATCH TREAT EVERYTHING LIKE A NEW GAME!!! The enemy pre-patch though identical in looks in post patch do NOT equal.
There's a lot of players complaining...and they need to know a few simple changes since patch.
The most important thing is to KILL THINGS AT YOUR LEVEL. There's no more of the I'm level 1 I'm going to kill a level 10. While you might have been able to swing that b4 there's no point to do that now.
In fact enemies give more XP at 1 level above you more then they did pre-patch. People complaining it's difficult to level because they trying to kill a level 15 mob when they level 10 go kill level 10s!!!
Example: Pre-patch kill a mob 8 ranks above you get 250 SP. Post-Patch kill a mob 1 level above you get 300 XP. See the difference? So fight a mob at your level or below you doing well for yourself and progressing at equal pacing if not better then before.
Remember everything got tweeked! The mob you killed pre-patch is though looks identical is not the same mob you kill post patch.
They moved mobs to pockets of 1 to 2 level differences as you move further away from the main city each pocket of enemies increases in difficulty. We asked for this type of mob placement so we all know how to progress and understand as we get stronger we inch our way further from the main cities.
Other key notes are chain when possible to get more XP. Equipping gear your level is essential as well. Remember to keep your gear repaired!
