    item question

    I killed a slaven type mob in Highwaste area, and it dropped this accessory called Firefly. It reduces all xp to 0, as per the description. Does this item serve any purpose, cause it seems reallllllllly shitty.

    I think it gives some minor bonus to a stat, I forget which... it's not worth using, even in boss fights unless there's something special about it that I'm not aware of.

    People just said what it do. You can use it to powerlevel someone by not giving any xp to 2 character in the pt. The remaining character will get x3 xp (x6 with the double xp accessory)

    Yeah the other 2 posts went up as I was posting mine, heh. That's kinda useful I guess if you want to get a guy up there who you've been neglecting.

    the way you described it is different from koyangi's description, unlses you were refering to having 2 equipped.

    Yes, I meant 2 equiped .

    If you give one to character #1 and another to character #2, character #3 will get the same xp he would get if he was alone (x3 the amount you normally get with 3 character ).

    Or you could just....xp with a 1 person party while having the other 5 people wear golden amulets lol.

    edit: unless you're trying to fight hard mobs i guess..but I don't think people generally xp off mobs that have the potential to kill you. At least I don't yet.

    3 char kill much faster than 1 single char, easy mob or not. I'm not saying it's useful, but its probably the easiest way to get 1 character to 99. Do the trick in hennes mine with the switch and you could probably get one char to 99 in a few minutes


    Golden amulet isnt really useful cause the grid is easy to cap. It doesnt take long to learn the useful stuff, and there is no hurry to learn the crap.

    When I put the LP+ amulet on non-pt members they didn't get the bonus >.>

    It doesn't even work the way that Kaylia is saying it does. It doesn't increase the EXP that everyone else gets.

    Really only useful for a low level game.

    Clearly you misunderstood me. Kaylia is saying that wearing the 0 EXP accessory on 2 of the active party members makes the 3rd member get extra EXP. This however, is not the case.

    And "all items" don't do exactly what their description says. The elemental staves in the game increase potency of their elements, and it doesn't say that on them.
