    Campaign and Capped merits/xp

    Does anyone know if you get the same amount of notes if you campaign on a capped xp, 10/10 merits, 9999/10000 to next merit? I'm trying to work to the last medal, but am running out of jobs to campaign on. Anyone done this?

    And, yea, I know the brd song thing for lower jobs, but I'm already pretty bored with the game, and doing that...no thanks.

    I remember someone else having this problem a while ago. IIRC, losing the exp is your best bet.

    I thought if you gained exp in any way on in some capped format, it'll still say you gained the exp, but it'll just have no effect. A good example would be if you're 2 exp from capping exp, it'll give you 2 exp, but tell you that you got 200 or whatever, but that extra 198 will just go to waste instead of carrying over to merits.

    Probably safe to just campaign at cap.

    This is true, not sure about the notes.

    Limit points: 9,999/10,000
    And someone who showed up at the last second and got about 4 hits and a couple cures in got about 200 notes

    It's true in that sense, but the next mob you kill you'll get absolutely no EXP at all. Not even a Limit Chain message.
