dunesfolk gives roughly 15-20k average right now, with a 4 man party, all linked up with aspect


you get 150 sp for the aspect
250 sp per link
(i think this is the numbers it was, cant remember for sure)

you get 300 sp base for the mobs


before you would average 16 mobs total per leve or so. that ended up being around 20k sp
so with no links, and no aspect, right now, you get close to 5k sp

linking isnt being removed, aspect isnt being changed at all
so add back in 2k sp for aspect, you still get 7k before linking

now even assuming they put a 50% hit to sp for links, you STILL will get 125 more sp per kill per link, thats roughly 2k more sp per link, rounding out around 5-6k more sp

so you end up with 12-13k sp, if its a 50% nerf(and i dont think it will be, i think itl be close to 25%)

so a 15k sp bonus isnt needed to "even it out" closer to a 5-6k sp bonus, on dunesfolk will do the trick


and of course, on most other leves, this isnt even close to the case, even a 5k bonus will boost you past what the current sp gains are in those



add in the removal of fatigue now....(yes thatl add up too)



but lets go with 5k sp, 8 leves, thats 40k BASE sp before you count mob kills, so sp wont be much different then it is now with that number, and i see it being around there(possibly 4k sp for 40s, i can see it being that low at most)
