SP Differences - Pre and Post 1.18

[Cervani]

I'm a bit disappointed with the SP changes in regards to leve mobs. Granted, I am doing lvl 10 leves (as a 14 MAR) but I expected at least some decent numbers.

I can understand the sp that leve mobs give to be the same as normal mobs. But what I can't understand is the "bonus" sp you get at the end of the leve only reaching 200-300. This is the wonderful bonus that was touted? It's only slightly higher than the sp I get off killing a normal ranked mob. Guardian Aspect is still in the game as well, but yet has no effect... on either the mobs nor the bonus.

Perhaps I'm doing this wrong. Am I overleveled on the leves I have? I didn't think a rank 14 doing rank 10 leves was that much of a gap (as opposed to doing lvl 20 ones as a rank 14). Especially considering the exp jump that comes around the mid-20s, which means I'll need even MORE exp to hit the next level.

I love everything else. The auto-attack is pretty much what I expected, and I don't mind the recast times (they seem to mesh pretty well). But the SP, especially considering I'm a low level and getting such low amounts, is worrying. I mean, it wouldn't be an issue if we could just keep picking up leves over and over without a limit... but after fifteen or so leves you're stuck grinding on mobs or crafting.

Opinions? Tips?

At rank 14 you should already be doing rank 20s. It's always been like that.

I see. So it's better to go over your rank than under it for exp. I haven't played for a few patches (I played in Beta and then for a month afterwards before I stopped) so it seems things have changed pretty drastically, and not only with just this patch. I seem to remember getting reamed hardcore attempting higher leves even just a few levels higher than you.

I'll give it a try.

SE shifted alot of the focus to group partys (XI style and dungeon grinding) and quest based leveling. With party play being the fastest way to level up.

They actually nerfed Leves to get people away from that being the primary focus of the game.

The dungeons at least the 45 one is giving like 200+ sp a kill so that is decent for leveling, I assume the lower one would be as well if you are at the right levels... I am to high to really tell.

All the quest are giving SP, main story quest are giving over 15k sp per quest in some cases

Sadly, my server is mainly JP. And since I don't know the language, it makes it difficult to get parties. Not to mention the low population. Not sure what I can do besides go to a more populated server to level, grind till my eyes bleed or attempt to focus on story quests/side quests.

That's kind of low for bonus SP. I was getting over 1k in bonus SP on some 30s last night when I was the one who popped the leve.

The rank of camps and the stars have been adjusted. Where a pt of 2 ppl in the mines at R36 would do 3 star max and get decent sp still, 5 star is actually a bit too weak now. At that point, you have to move to the next camp. I've yet to test how leve linking affects the sp, but i hear it helps a lot.

at level 42, my THM did two 2 star leves and gained about 1.5k exp in 45 mins between the two leves.
