Alas, I never noticed the EXP being raised, being 200 the EXP given is just so unsubstantial.

On my typical exp multipliers (hs, 30%pend, 15%merc, 10%pot), killing two krexels gives me ~0.5% at 211 for roughly three minutes of work. Golems give me ~0.18%/3min, so krexel is nice for me.
At 200 it would give about 5% which is nothing to laugh at. Speaking of which I should start doing krexel on my merc to get him 201 for lulz

Ehhhh... I have no time for exp multipliers. I think it's much less than that at 200. BGB was .4% for me so..

11m + 8.8m + 3.3m + 1.1m + 2.09m = 26.29m

Which is 0.103% exp at 211.
At 200 it is 1.19%.

This is per eye.

Spoiler

On 1.2x family, HS, 30% pend, 10% exp accum, 15% merc
Grand total of 0.411% at 211 and 4.76% at 200. All it takes is 900 rep, 2hrs, a friend to HS you, and the exp pot which isn't hard to get at all.

Bosses are ridiculously good exp (inb4kms nerfs), especially if you stack multipliers. I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of them.

How long do the prequests to get into Krexel take?

Took me like an hour and I did it really slowly. Need to loot a lot of ETC stuff iirc

You collect on the order of 500 etc. items (and kill few enough monsters that this takes longer than the kill count) so if you have a looting pet and Giant Spider familiar they're fairly fast.


On a daily basis there are none, you go to the map, go in and kill Krexel. You can accept the quest for 7.5mil if you want (it resets after 24hr) but it's not necessary.

Ah okay, maybe I'll do that tonight then along with my LHC prequests. I've been running as many bosses as I can before heading to WG (HT, Zak, Hilla, Ranmaru, BG, PB) so I should probably add Von Leon & Krexel to that list, especially since VL has an additional ticket.

Just wondering if anyone knows...does the Zakum Additional Ticket work for Chaos Zakum too? Or will it only work for regular Zak?

I've noticed that equips are dropping far more frequently now. and level 110 equips are dropping for more often than they used too.

also some places that didn't drop equips before do, like Monster Park Extreme.

Not everyone has the availability of using EXP multipliers. I don't and I don't aim to use them either, everything I do is just on 1x. Which was .4%.

I wish they adjusted the DA desperado's to be equal in NPC value to other weapons of the same levels... I probably should've mentioned this when unleashed was around but I only really noticed it during Cygnus Awakening.

I think its because the placeholder equips are working as intended and now drop as a random equip of that level.

[Aggravate]

It has not always been 11m per eye.

It was raised during the Unleashed (1.37) patch just so you know.

Krexel
Level: [140 --> 170]
HP: [250,000,000 --> 450,000,000]
EXP: [1,344,000 --> 11,000,000]

Krexel
Level: [140 --> 170]
HP: [250,000,000 --> 450,000,000]
EXP: [2,000,000 --> 11,000,000]

[Razmos]

I can confirm that the Silent Crusade Mastery Book gives a special potential scroll for Cygnus characters.

[Endgame]

God damn Monster Park Extreme solo is good EXP.

Now if only I could actually find some parties and get even more EXP from it.....

Edit: Just advanced to 4th Job.

Speed Infusion + Thunderbolt + Shark Sweep is going to destroy Evolving World.

Edit 2: Ow, my hand. So much button mashing.....

But hey, you basically get 100% Stance while constantly linking the two skills! That's nifty.

My Wind Archer's Motto: Arrows, ARROWS EVERYWHERE!

Seriously so many things flying on the screen. How does one not get himself killed with DR >0 [i know i know count but still...]

[Jamesie]

I got a Thorns from a rat in LudiPQ.

[Pink Bean]

ah where do i begin.. bleh, short post since i'm sleepy

first off i've transitioned to wind archer pretty well i think, the play style is growing on me and the mobility change from bowmaster is exhilarating. i also feel comfortable with my damage range, for once, but then again i upgraded to 115% boss and 132% additive ignore along with about 50% extra dex from rings.

to be honest i don't think i'm going back to bowmaster. this character feels much more flexible and i find it really fun to play.
i didn't make a WA to join a bandwagon kind of thing, but to play a character class i would be more relaxed with (and it is) not that i wanted to be better at something. besides i really love my knight's design too much to leave her behind

[emailbox]

WA 3rd job arrow raining thingy is ridiculously broken for training.

TB is broken for training because skill spam without delays.

Other than that, not much to say. Gotta get my WA to 120 sometime in the next week or two, then work on a DW... I'm only logging onto my main these days to get the 300 kills for attendance check :(
Training has really lost its appeal for me with all the crappy party EXP changes (and soloing at Golems isn't feasible for me yet) and I haven't even hit 200...

[DeanNim]

I, uhh..... what? She's a bow user, but her primary damaging skill is basically Brave Slash with knockback. (Perhaps not what they intended, but that's how things turned out.)

Huh.

Eh, i've been a windbreaker since the beginning and even then we had to use that storm skill as a our primary back in 2nd job... and it didnt even involve shooting an arrow, just using a bow to create a mini tornado o.o i forgot the name though..

Storm Break.

[PoetryIsFail]

Storm Break.

One of my favorite skills of all time.

Its nice to see the animation sort-of live on in Heaven's Song and Wind Walk I guess.
