How much are regular mobs worth?

At 222. For one of the "boss" mobs. The regular mobs are trash.

Every nependeath map gives me ~0.03% (27.5m exp).
That's a lot. I'll be staying away now.


If this was intended, training to 250 might be somewhat reasonable here. If I'm doing the math right.

Mr. Lee event is by FAR the BEST source of EXP!, got 3 levels in less than 30 minutes and that's with interruptions from my family XD

Yeah, if we could just get OFFICIAL word from Nexon, that'd be great. Put a notice in the game, on the forums, just somewhere and I'd be fine. Otherwise I'm just gonna milk it while it's here because it's not even close to an exploit, it's just killing event monsters that spawn normally. I'm just expecting a HUGE nerf to the exp, but we will see. May as well get some characters to 200 while it's here.

That's all I got.

Literally got my Blaze Wizard to 130 in under 2 hours.

I feel dirty, but the satisfaction of being done with the Link Skill far outweighs that feeling. Plus, Blaze Wizard was actually really fun, especially its range.

Some of the quests take quite long, so I don't see how they could see who abused it and who didn't. And a rollback would be way too much for a simple exp advantage. My guess is they'll just nerf it tomorrow and that's all.

I feel that the nerf won't be on EXP, but on times entered and the limit of time forcing the maplers to go to 2x Drop Hothead
If is only the 1st or 2nd, it would be OK.

Doing the Beast buff quest definitely takes a good while. It takes me from 120-130 to finish the quest. Since that's what I want to do anyway, it works for me.

This Mr. Lee's thing is the best event ever. 157 on my BW after 3 hours.

This is basically a "level all your skill mules to 120" area.

Most of their quest takes a LOT of time to complete... are REALLY hard...
A good idea is to make the bosses crazy strong, enough to become a pot burner area.
Normal mobs are GREAT source of EXP.

They could fix it well enough just by cutting the 'boss' experience by 90%. I seriously think those have 10x more exp than they are supposed to. Even at 90% less, the exp is still about 3x more than normal mobs in the area.

Nope... the EXP is OK. The problem is the damage. They are extremely weak... at least the hog could give that exp, but dealing 1500 damage to a level 50.

I'm not sure if this is a special case though, since the Asuna and Leafa faces have pre-set eye colours.

Good to know, thanks! Possibly is a special case, since it explicitly warns you that they will always be Green/Hazel/Black.

I'm not quite understanding why Fires of Creation let's you choose one of two creatures to summon. I see not differences in the stat window, nor any noticeable changes on my perceived damage. Is it just letting you choose which cutie to summon? I stick with the lion, haha.

When did they fix Coco card? o.O I mean obviously those who already killed the first Coco can't get it... but my BW just got Coco.

That's all I got.

How will they ever decide who used it "excessively"?
Are they just going to ban whoever leveled "too fast" for their liking, even if they never set foot on the island?

I'd really rather they close off the area until they decide what to do about it.

As it is, this smells like a mess of poisonable Bigfoot proportions. Except worse, because all classes and levels can take advantage of it.
Nexon reps say they "discourage" its use, but they didn't put anything on the website or in-game about it. Not everyone reads forums or social media. People just hear from their friends in-game that it's godly exp, and they flock to it. And of course, the longer it's open, and the more people use it, the more people can convince themselves that "they can't ban everyone" and do it even if they have read the forum.

Also, I have to laugh at what this does to the hyped and over marketed SAO event (can you say "annoying in-game notices"?). Nobody cares about SAO. Everybody is all about Mr.Lee.

exp gets fairly sluggish after 140~150, more than -gasp- 15min per level, and only slower and slower.
a level ~121 will get 90% when killing neppendeth room
a level 147 will get less than 15%
a level 178 will get 5%

Accurate. I was getting about 2.8% at level 197. Dinged 198 and two more to go for level 200 Zero. Thanks Based Mr. Lee, you da real mvp.
