So, how is Pagos?

I think they really want to people to start relying on the challenge log for the bulk of their EXP at higher levels.

Regardless, there's still people who've managed to hit 35 already because the EXP apparently starts scaling up rather significantly at higher levels (I heard people claiming to have gotten 34K at the end of 30 chain from a level 34 monster at level 27).




People really are stick in the NM train mindset despite not realizing how laughably inefficient it is.

I grinded out around 300K EXP in around 50 minutes while waiting the local NM to appear, which was worth 100K.

Also, the rate the EXP needed to level scales up at along with the EXP from normal monsters is way higher then how quickly the NM EXP scales. NMs should always just be viewed as a bonus in Pagos unless you're okay with taking weeks to hit 35.

I suspect it's more people found the NM train made Eureka tolerable. Now it literally boils down to killing endless amounts of mind-numbingly boring trash mobs that don't do anything interesting while the actual fun bosses barely spawn. What a stupid design philosophy. I haven't yet decided if I'll eventually grind this out or just skip the relic for the first time.

If I wanted a Korean style grind, I'd play one of those MMOs.

People tolerated the train, some people even liked the train. The mob grinding crowd was a firm minority but because that's what they wanted us doing the train was nerfed for round 2 .
