Quick explanation of Pagos? Been out of the loop for a bit

I do hope that adjustments are made, if that is the case. I don't mind time sinks sometimes, but Pagos sounds like a venture that I would be better off skipping for now.

exactly. I was with a group (mistakenly) with lvl 35s while I was 26, canceling out any light or exp. We murdered mobs for at least 30-45 minutes and the NM never spawned. A random one spawned instead, we killed that and I left. Experiences like that make me anxious as I couldnt have been wasting my time any worse. I need some kind progression if I'm going to be in a long grind. And I'm one of the people that loved Anemos.

And don't forget to do all content with well seasoned salt.

Definitely do the challenge log. If you can't find a party at your level, build one in party finder - people will come. I've found that a spread of about five levels is acceptable, but try to be sure that a tank is at the high end of the spread (easy for me, since I tank).

I've done very little in Pagos aside from Challenge Logs, though I did board the NM train once or twice. I'm level 32, now, and I don't feel burnt out on Pagos like so many others seem to be. I actually look forward to going in each week - though that may change once I reach 35 and have nothing to look forward to but the Light Grind. XD

One thing that I'll note, is that the monsters seem to be faster and more persistent in Pagos. In Anemos, when running solo I could typically outrun monsters that spotted me until they gave up. Pagos, even if I have Sprint handy, the sprint gives me a brief lead but then the monster catches up quick once it wears off. Being spotted by something more than a few levels above you is essentially a death sentence!
