Why no low-level nms?

[Antanias]

Shooshea comes to mind for low-level nms. Sadly, they're the only three atm.

[KairiSgheart]

shoeshae has a couple of low ones and coffer chests.
level 20 camp have 2 nm each of that range.
totorak and the other level 30 camps/aethrite have level 30s.
the rest are a few roaming one like urenus, dodore and such of 50+ and the raids/ strongholds etc. thats abt it :X

You forgot the leve nm

I find the levelling process comparable to most other MMOs, and it wouldn't consider it particularly quick (first 50 anyway). Besides, why anyone would want to indulge in power lvling all classes to cap (knowing 2.0 is just around the corner) is beyond me.

I agree, we need more NMs, but anything below level 30 would be a waste of dev time.

[SwordCoheir]

I find it kind of ironic though, prior to the stat updates in 1.19 (I think it was) you had a hell of a time trying to take them down without at least 2-3 lv.50 classes all for level 30-35 piece of gear. And while I agree the current exp rate allows us to just zoom to 50, it didn't make a whole lot of sense before then either with the way they were built and the gear that dropped.

[DarthTaru]

This game has thus far completely failed in regards to NMs. The five they originally had they needlessly nerfed, rendering them worthless over night and took all the fun out of what little open world fun this game had. The lower level NMs are nearly totally pointless. There are no Valkrum Emperor's or Leaping Lizzy's. Just junk NMs not worth camping.

2.0.... maybe.

I just started recently and one of my favorite aspects of FFXI was nm hunting. I noticed this game -does- have a good number of NMs, but it seems like the lowest level NM is in the upper 30's.

I had a lot of fun hunting for lower-level NMs in FFXI on my low level jobs. Why can't we have some in this game?

That's a low level NM.

lv 1-20 go by too fast for hunting NMs for gear for them to be worthwhile. There are no level caps in the game so no reason to keep low level gear once you're done with it.

That being said I'm sure 2.0 will have more NMs and that this is just something they're treating as low priority for the current client.

Because being choosey about gear before level 30 is pointless.
