Tespia is now OPEN!

Ah thanks for clearing that up. Do they have an potions giving more then +5?

Not that I know of.

Well... when they said they revamped the PQs, they meant it. :| For example, OPQ is heavily dubbed down in terms of how to progress: no cloud stage; each stage comes one after the other now without walking in between; boxes need only to be clicked; and so on... We're even getting awesome Charm from OPQ... like 20 per run. We figured the rewards too have been adjusted.

Ok, I probably haven't paid attention to how much the PQs have been revamped like how it was in KMS (because I never could PQ in KMS), but dang... having to get 1 mil EXP, 40 Willpower, and 20 Charm per OPQ run was amazing. All of this with a lv 130 party too.

Also, I think Ice Knight PQ is bugged. We killed the boss so fast, so I think IK wasn't adjusted to our levels for some reason. Everything else was adjusted accordingly.

Party quests only scale up to the highest of their recommended levels. So all the party quests that recommend level 20~70 will not go over level 70 in terms of monster levels and difficulty.

Here is the rundown on the new Exp point methods, fresh off testing.

Part 1 - Party Exp ratio
Chars used - Lvl 130 Dark Knight, lvl 130 Bishop.

The party experience ratio appears to be 20:80 (That's 20% distributed according to how much damage you do and 80% shared amongst the party and given based on level.)
Tested with - lvl 127 Blue Dragon Turtle (2149 Exp)
Dark Knight did the killing.
Solo - 2149 Exp
Party - DK = 1289 Exp (60% of the total), Bish = 860 Exp (40% of the total) Since the two party members are both 130, they would split the party Exp evenly. Thus, the Bishop's 40% means that the attacker got 40% from the shared pool and 20% from the solo kill.
Party with HS - DK = 1934 Exp, Bish = 1289
(This means that with HS, you still get less than the total Exp you would if you were solo. However, your leeching party members get a lot more than before. Even if you count the party bonus of 10% here, the attacker gets less than if he worked solo.)


Part 2 - Exp loss due to level
I took the same lvl 130 DK and tested as many monsters under my level as possible to complete the following chart (only 2 or 3 values are assumed, the rest have hard numbers) -

Mob level	Exp Value
0 to -5	100%
-6,-7	90%
-8,-9	85%
-10-11	80%
-12-13	75%
-14-15	70%
-16	65%
-17	60%
-18	55%
-19	50%
-20	45%
-21 and lower	40%

Essentially, at 6 levels below you drop to 90%. It goes down 5% every 2 levels until 15 levels below. Then it is 5% per level with a minimum of 40%.

...wow. That new EXP ratio is amazing news to me. That makes me astonishingly happy.

Looks good overall.

What?
Ratio is 60:40.
HS now works differently (holy sh`it). Instead of capping at 1.1x your base it now gives you the actual 150% exp.

How am I supposed to farm items if mobs too far below me only drop Etc. now?

My guess? Either boss for drops or do all your farming on your Cygnus from now on. :/

Only bots farm, duh.

trying to figure how to get married in the cathedral, no success so far, but i saw SS of people doing it.

**Update: Tespia is closed as of 7:03pm Pacific. Thank you very much for your continued support!

So Tespia is now closed?
Sorry if I'm not up-to-date.

Well, someone replicate his experiment then, because I hate to see a 6:4 ratio come into effect. It's gonna screw us Bishops pretty hard if 60% of that EXP goes towards the attacker while leaving us with 40% (assuming leeching). HS won't do jack for us if it's gonna be that ratio.

Server is still running.

Yeah I just checked the Tespia site, and it says it's closed. Direct login works though, but iunno for how long.

Btw 6:4 ratio is a good thing for leechers

inb4 all botters are now ck's.

so my lvl 200 can no longer find recipe off nub monsters? like angelic ring recipe off MDT

Yup

Yup

pomegranate.....

How does this new system affect quest items (e.g. Lunar Dews)? Or Etc. and Use items needed for quests (e.g. Sentinel Shellpieces, Walnuts, etc.) Also, Transformation Potions, how will I make them?

Also, sadfais for all you Stronghold trainers, but as a quester, the normal mob distinction made on the monsters makes my job significantly easier. Sorry for your loss, and I suppose all our losses in the first paragraph.
