1.19a Patch Notes

[Arcell]

That was possible before 1.19, just slightly differently.

let me explain the difference.

POST 1.19 PLing
group consists of 1 level 50 and 7 level 35s
the 50 kills everything while the rest watch, the level 35s get more exp than the level 50
everyone got exp

PRE 1.19 PLing
group consists of 1 level 50 and 7 level 1s
the 50 kills everything but the level 1s only get exp if the level 50 gets none or very little
only the low level chars get exp

And now:

Post 1.19a PLing

2 groups, the low level group and the level 50(s) powerleveling them.
The low level group engages an enemy (likely within 10 levels of their own), claims enemies, level 50 kills them and the low level group gets full EXP.

I'm thinking that this might still be possible with a single group. Check it out:

With the previous formula (pre 1.19) if a group consisted of lets say 1 rank 48 and 7 rank 1s and the 48 fought r45+ mobs the rank 1s got nothing because they were considered too low. However, if that same group fought rank 10 mobs, the rank 48 was considered too high so the rank 1s got all the SP.

I suppose we'll have to try after the patch to see for sure what's possible now...

I think xp will be killed if a higher level is in your group, how much higher idk...as for killing much higher mobs the xp will most likely be capped, and the low lvl runs the risk of being 1 shot so its not worth it

Why not just keep the R50 in the group. Sure the lower rank ones will take a small SP hit, but since most of them are within 5 ranks of each other, they'll still get decent SP.

Yep, small exp hit per mob, but HUGE exp boost per hour.
