Eureka : take the NM train or ride your private car with a party ?

[Moogly]

What composition did you use for that ? Is that lvl 25 mobs exp ?
Glad it goes that up...
With that much xp, grinding would be in fact better than FATE train since people in my party who were lvl 15+ told us they were getting ~20k from killing NM.

Glad it goes that up... i was told last level takes around 250K exp and was starting to worry :s

Level 24 I think, +6 from me at the time. Comp is 1 tank/2 healer/5 DPS. Honestly you can do 1/1/6, just the healer needs to really be on point. The main thing is to just fight at least +5 mobs... but +6 if you can handle it (If there's one person you want to have a level lead in the party, it's the tank). And good DPS that output enough to chain on mobs that high.

If you can't quite push it that far, I think this sort of exp is still pretty decent (and the kills come a bit faster):

Yea at higher levels you want to be in a party chaining xp you get so much more out of it and then doing NMs when they spawn

In my experience the NM train was much faster than XP grind. 100 exp per mob kill missing one fate that gave 7000 exp was worth killing 70 mobs for example.

Yeah, that'll happen if you kill mobs too low. To be fair, putting together a good party for exp grinding is a lot more effort than just 'lfg nm' and zerging stuff.

So why all the hate with the NM train ?

It's boring and not really much different from hunts (with all the associated drama that hunts inspire, "early pullers" and whatnot).

Also, it quickly becomes even more unfun when the NM doesn't even appear and you can't even target it to get credit.

Tell them to take esuna. It's useful all over Eureka. Nevermind the NM that casts Doom.

What's the required XP to level at 18-19?

I've only run with groups formed inside Eureka. I've had the best results when most of the party is within two or three levels of each other. In those groups I haven't run into any slackers or bad players (although we aren't close to world firsters either). We would follow the train but would pull mobs that would give us exp. This might have been isolated mobs for the NM the train was working on or nearby unrelated mobs a few levels higher than we were.
