NM hunting to lvl a job?

[RahJah]

Do you think NM hunting would be a fun way to lvl a job if the SP reward for defeating the mob was greater?

I think that hunting NM's would a great way to lvl a job if the SP reward for killing the NM were high enough to lvl a job at a reasonable pace. NM hunts are fun/challenging and when I get the drop even rewarding! If the SP reward was higher it would take the sting out of tough drop rates. It would promote exploration, and adventure!

Maybe for first kill.

That sounds fun. But usually it is funner to do everything so you don't get sick of one thing.

By the way , i am a bit fuzzy on NM. do you mean doing it in a quest or just walking around killing Notorious Monsters?

Yes, variety.

Not in a quest. More just walking around killling Notorious Monsters. When it takes one hour for a good pty to defeat a single Notorious Monster, the SP reward should reflect that and reward enough SP to lvl a job at a resonable pace.

If it gives alot of SP, then ppl would camp those and people that actually need equips can't get them and more whining thread will pops.

1h? Really? Not in this game last time I checked oO.

Thats actually a really nifty idea let NM's give like 1k SP for the first kill. nothing crazy but something thats nice to say "I did it!' How would they keep track of if you killed it or not? "Looks at signature and gently plugs bestiary thread"

Okay, 1 hour was a drastic overestimate, but when I am rewarded 500 SP for a fight that takes 10 min with 3 rank 30's buddies and we dont get the drop 5 fights in a row I would like to have at least recieved more than 3k exp in an hour. (sorry about the run-on sentence^^) Don't get me wrong, I still like to hunt the NM's for the adventure.

If it gives 500 SP a pop, tons of people will bring r50 to plvl lowbies. You won't get to hit the NM anymore, considering they will soon abolish the claim system and whoever do most dmg get the drop (at least that's what I gathered about what it).

Gawd, I hope they don't do that to the claim system... whm would never get the drop. They should just give the drop to the pty leader and pty leader can distribute, but that is another topic.

IMO more ppl should be camping NM's. Bots should be prohibited of course, but there should be some healthy competition out there. Competing for claims is challenging and therefore fun!
