I like this alot Rentahamster! It just seems strange to me that at an R20 I could kill mobs 15 ranks higher than myself solo and get up to 300 SP, while having a low amount of SP needed to rank up, what 20,000 ish total?(not checking actual stats for precise numbers). Though as an R43 I am killing mobs 15 ranks higher and they they take significantly longer to kill(depending on the mob), yet I avg 135ish per mob now, and takes a HELL of a lot more than 20,000 SP to level up.

Also FFVIII was very different than this. I could get to rank 30 before even going into Ifrit's cave in the beginning because the XP/AP per mob was static, the only thing that changed was that when you leveled up, the mobs did as well. You DIDN'T get lower points for killing the same mob.


EDIT: As stated in your post Hamster:

"I think defeating harder monsters should be rewarded, so if the dlvl restriction of 10 were raised to something like 15 or 20, it would give skilled players an incentive to go exploring and to take down harder monsters without feeling like it's a waste of time."

I was out on Coerthas exploring and doing some solo grinding.

I just want some consistancy here is all. I am an FF6/FF7 kinda guy. I go out in the world and find a monster and hey I know that when I kill him I get this much XP, so I keep hunting these bastards. Since most of the FF games work like this, I consider FF games to have this as a staple.

Or just kill higher-rank monsters for the sake of killing them, and not for SP.

I felt really badass when I killed a Dreamtoad with 20 more ranks than me. I felt like a baws.

I killed a Slippery Sykes for the first time yesterday, gave me a funny looking shield. took awhile to solo him, had lots of HP. I guess it was one of those low NM's, sadly it gave no SP It did feel rewarding to kill him though

It's far improved and fun. No complaining here.

Enemies EXP caps at +10 levels, to increase SP/hr solo kill stuff only 8-12 levels higher than you instead of 15. Kills should be twice as fast and the mobs that are 10-12 higher will give the exact same as the ones you are killing 15 levels higher assuming they have the same base SP.

If you are getting 150 SP per kill at +15 that means the mob base is 50, which isn't a mob you'd really want to fight for SP. You might want to find a different mob that has a base of 80-100 so that you'd gain 240-300 per kill.

Also mob SP degrades fairly slowly once its about the same level as you. L43 killing L42 doblyn's will still net you 90 per kill or so, which would probably be leagues quicker than fighting L54s for 150 since you'd kill about 3 in the same time + lose less HP/MP.
