Thread: Confusion about Growth curves for DoL and DoH

We will adjust the growth curve for Disciples of the Land, tweaking the rate of development...

The growth curve for Disciples of the Hand, in particular, is in need of attention, and we’ll be taking a scalpel to that also.

I was a little confused by these lines in the Letter from the Producer. The first was in the table, and second in the text below. Does this mean that both growth curves are being re-done? I'm confused because if both are getting the overhaul, then why weren't they both in the table? The text at the end sounds more like a recap.

By growth curve, I interpret it as the amount of activity required to rank through and how involved it is.

Right now, the trip from about R30-R50 is a terrible, terrible grind. I'm guessing that this is what they are looking at.

R30 to 40 is actually very fast now, especially if you use your regional leves (10-15k total per leve with aspect). Even 40+ is faster than it used to be prior to 1.18 until you hit ~R48-49, then its about the same. Basically you get ~10% per lvl of node over your level, so you typically get 50-100% more SP per swing. With no SP fatigue (you still damage everything after 250 harvests per day), you can really grind the levels up quickly.

I think they actually mean to nerf SP rate on DoL now. Or maybe speed things up in the 40+ range due to lack of Grade 6 nodes. We'll see I guess, but I've found SP grinding on DoL to be very good/fast now compared to before.

Its probably increasing the amount of exp (because thats what it will be after 1.19) some crafts give and possibly leves, because 1-20 is easy, and from what I have heard (only craft is 19 GLD) 20, maybe 25 or 30+ take forever, to level.

You guys need to go back and read that statement in the letter, it's says Disciples of the Land.
