Confusion about Growth curves for DoL and DoH

[Leo_Hart]

I agree that it has gotten a lot easier to rank DoL. However, I wish they would even out the progression more than anything. Once you move up to a new camp, SP is great for the first 5 ranks. For the next 5 ranks, it slows down considerably. It should be a more even procession.

This is ridiculous you rank up faster from r35-r36 than r34-35. Please fix this.

This suddenly feels totally on the money. Bayohne?

I'm expecting a nerf. When they buffed DoL in 1.18 they made it too good. Even in the upper 40s I can still get 6-8k per leve for what is sometimes a 3-5 minute leve, which is just ridiculous. More when Sweat of Brow kicks in. If I were 35 doing those grade 5 leves for the first time I'd be doubling that. I'm surprised it hasn't been nerfed already, especially for the lower ranks. DoL are probably the fastest classes to take to 40 now.

DoH is fast too. I level faster now by doing nothing but leves than I was able to when I took my GLD and CRP to 50 pre 1.18 when I grinded. But maybe the upper 40s will still be slow due to the low amount of 50 leves.

I'm not seeing the problem with SP gains from DoL leves. It's a somewhat fair trade off for having to wait a day for Gathering Fatigue to reset, if you maximize your gathering per day for each DoL, while DoH/DoW/DoM can just grind to their heart's content. If anything, DoL are still getting cheated out of SP gains.

Exactly what I meant. I think they may actually nerf it.

I have gotten 10k SP in like 1 minute as a rank 25 botanist with Sweat of the Brow.

to me i would be completely fine if they went back to pre patch sp gains and removed gathering fatigue. it sucks to grind mining until fatigue then only be able to grind those items into your crafting class for only a few hours than have to wait another 20+ hours to do it again.

i'm doing blacksmith now and can go mining and get maybe enough mats for 5-6 stacks of silver. that's only 3-4 hours of grinding blacksmith until i have to wait and go mining again. the gathering fatigue hits way too soon to even be able to gather enough mats for your own personal use.

My only issue with the DoL growth curve is the lack of Grade 5 nodes that would seriously help botonists in the mid-late 40's rank up.
