Post-Patch SP findings

[Angry Panda]

Party of 4 running around testing:

Mice in TamTam - 60 per kill, quick fights less than a minute - Already saw a party of 6, mid 30s, spam killing these in TamTam
Hogs in TamTam - 100 per kill, 1.5 min fight
Coerthas Antelope Stag : 100-120 - 1.5 minute fight
Coerthas Pieste : 184 - only did 1, looooong fight
Toxic Toads - 120 - pretty long fight, belly flop aoe move hurts

Nothing great so far.

1 star R30 leve in cedarwood - with favor - elementals were 100 each. (Solo)

Just got 75 sword/75 shield off a blue mob. It seems that your SP gains are split between the two. Kinda sucks if you're partying and get left behind because your shield is stealing half your SP...

Not true. Tried rabbits, antelopes and wolves in Coerthas both with and without shield. If I would get 100 shield 100 weapon, I got 100 weapon when just using that. So use your shield and you wont get left behind, at all.

Hm, unfortunate but not really surprising. Everytime they change it there seems to be problems of some kind.

Just did a battlewarden fight at camp bearded rock as a 12 pgl, partied with a 29 gla (I assumed the guy would change to something lower, he didn't). I got ~100 SP per kill, and there was about 26 mobs total. Even when the gla would one shot things, 100 SP for me, nothing for him. All the mobs seemed to have really low HP. Might be interesting to see what higher level battlewarden fights are like SP wise now.

Power level opportunity? Too bad my rank 42 fisherman isn't going to be very helpful

[Jojimbo]

I just duo'ed Nanawa Mines behest with a CON26, got ~500 exp and ~200 skill per fight. 8 Mobs + 2 'boss' mobs that spawned after.

Also, Devilets are still broken as fuck, 700+ aga and 1500+ incants, could only get it to <40% before getting owned ;;

[Hyan]

Hows your acc guys?

[Franzer]

as archer, my acc is really unbelievable. No more strings of misses, its awesome.

[Ezekial]

just did Island Crabs in Cassiopeia Mines with a pt of 6, average was 100-120 a kill...

This sucks, only takes 200 crabs to get from 20-21? I can't imagine this is intentional.

edit* I have a 21 Archer, acc is amazing now, like franzer said.

[CaptainN]

So random, @ 15 lancer doing leve "sweet vengeance" 1 star and getting 650 skill per kill with favor with mobs giving me a blue rating. Either today I did leve "Overtime in the mines" 1 star @ 24 archer with blue rated puks and only got 194 skill with favor. I don't understand why the got so much less on my archer, I really hope the SP system is a bug.

[Bozmo]

R20 Puglist, solo Cassiopeia and Nanny's Yellow and Green gave me 92 / 82 SP. I used to get 100-400+ on yellows, now it's broken. Evasion is noticeably better.

[Chakra]

SP is abysmal.

@R45 PGL with a group of 8. Grass Raptors around Camp Ever Lakes give 110-150SP. If I got that before the SP before the update I'd consider it awful. So, how the fuck is this an improvement? R48s in the party were saying they were getting about 80SP per kill. Their breath move was beefed up, too. Was one shotting some members above R45. This is not cutting it.

On a good note though, SP with a party doing R40 Leves is phenomenal. Gained 25k SP total doing 9 R40 leves (some were not linked). The Necro page leves work great due to all of the weak mobs spawned that still give ya like 150sp on 3 stars. Party SP needs to be fixed though. Isn't there suppose to be a party bonus? The SP amount does not seem to change adding more members or taking them away.

[Gokulo]

SP for low ranks (20 and lower?) seems great now, but should be scaled up for higher ranks I guess. Well I actually only did 1 leve to check it out and the sp was awesome on rank 13 :D

[FireCrystal]

Behest mobs @Humblehearth were giving me around 190 SP, with a party of x8 r25-29
r30 leves @Humblehearth 200~ SP
Efts @Tam-Tara Deepcroft 160 SP (Thundervapor does over 1k dmg w/ Shell now)

[Grey Jorildyn]

My findings so far:

Too terrible to post.

Hint to SE: you forgot to turn party bonus on. Please check it, thx.

[Malacite]

So what's the new VIT: HP Ratio? 5:1 instead of 7:1? I assume the MND change to MP is the same... that's fucking weak of them btw. VIT & MND are still good, but it was nice being able to reasonably pump up HP & MP levels. To paraphrase Yathzee somewhat, why does SE always have to stick their dick in our pudding?

Thanks for the clarification on Sword & Shield SP too, that's fucking hawt.

Crafting & Gathering SP seems to be unchanged, which sucks.

This system is great for power leveling. I can power level people at a rate of at least 20k sp/hr below R20. I have not tried to power level people above R20 yet. Also, Physical exp earned is no scaled to your Rank level. So you can earn physical exp as any class during combat. Saw physical exp gains of 1800 on a R2 miner off of magic bones in ceader.

Expect quick fixes/emergency maint

How can you let something that big just slip by and get implemented? I am thinking it may be intended. The drop off past R20 is pretty bad from what I hear.

[GavinBandura]

It clearly seems that when partying the skill is being divided between party members much like exp is. Hopefully this is a bug.

This. "Works like exp" What sounded great, gets now compensated by sharing in Parties
