New Letter from the Producer, XII

1. uhmm they aren't "upping" SP on leves they are reducing it. They are adding a bonus to the end of some leves in the form of XP but unless it's a 15,000 XP bonus it wont be more than currently failing leves.

Wrong phrase then, I mean the EXP.

Since I primarily solo, leve-linking terms mean little to me. Point is, they are upping the amount of exp you get in a leve.

In light of guildleves’ repositioning as solo-oriented content, leve link bonuses will be reduced. To make up for this reduction, skill points will be added as a new reward for the benefit of solo adventurers.

Unless I am misunderstanding this. If I am, someone please explain better?

They're reducing the amount of SP/XP you get from going through the leve and instead shifting it to a bonus you get for completing it.

So instead of getting all SP/XP through killing the monsters, you get some from that and then some from completion.

EX: Say now you get 550 SP per monster and there are 10 monsters
You get 5550 SP for doing that leve

With this patch, say they reduce the SP amount to 300 per monster. You now only get 3000 SP for killing all the monsters.
Then, upon completing the leve via an aetherial node, you get a bonus 2550 SP.

You get the same amount of SP in the end, but only if you actually complete the leve.

At least, that's what makes sense to me.
