Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[bruice]

Just joined a La'Thaien Aby party at worms. How do you obtain Xp/Meirts c.c Stupid I know lulz. Looked but nothing and atm only see xp from chests or random mobs (Low Xp).../facepalm

Edit: Only use to GOV. Never done this kind of xp obviously. Been gone for awhile.

The xp from mobs starts to build up with time. Especially if you enter low-lv you might not get any exp at all at first, but stay there long enough killing the same mob type and the exp will rise.

Aww. Yeah I have noticed that now. This game sure has changed a lot. Thank you~

Edit: Also how high does the xp go or is there a cap on certain mobs/areas?

[Gokulo]

I don't remember if it was the same in all Aby zones but in Heroes zones (Uleg/Grauberg/Altep) it goes up to 650exp/mob

Also, if you go to XP in a Heroes zone, make sure you talk to the Dominion Tactician and then start up a Dominion Ops. One of my friends came back to the game and I was cleaving for him, and we found out that he was only getting 1/2 of displayed XP from both mobs and chests. He activated a Dom Ops for the first time and was suddenly getting full XP. (Note: I'm not ENTIRELY sure it was the Dom Ops that allowed him to start getting full credit as he also got level 76 around the same time, so it's potentially level based)

Thanks again.

What's the cap on critical hit rate? If it's 100% then I should be fine. 5% from merits, 30% from RR, 20% from GH, 20% from DEX, 12% from gear if I augment hecatomb legs. So I'll try the set you suggested. Thanks again.

100% is the cap but like I said, I use RR/SS/AaO so I have 30% critical hit damage instead of the extra 20% critical hit rate if you use GH. If I were to use GH then I wouldn't be using Rancor Collar inside

Best way to build fame in Aby - Highlands? Going to bite the bullet and do that Merit abyssite finally.

[Aihree]

Best way? The -only- way. Get fame to level 3 then take 24 pictures of a t1 vnm, then spend the next 24 vanadays turning the pictures in.

How....tedious.

[Aihree]

Almost as tedious as Attohwa, yes.

Once you g et to level 2 you can at least supplement with the martello refill, which does help.

Depends on the zone. Cells drop like candy in bhaf, but I wouldn't go into zhal without some form of TH for the rings lizards.

What's the most commonly used Samurai Group 1 and 2 merit spread? I used to have 5 overwhelm, 4 blade bash and 1 Shikikoyo before the Zanshin update, but should I remove some Blade Bash and pour them into Ikishoten or is this a bad idea? For group one I can't decide if I should put my remaining 5 into Meditate or Zanshin attack rate. I haven't really been on samurai much at all since this Zanshin update so.. do I alter merits to enhance it or not bother? I'm sitting on 20 merits and figure I should cap this off finally.

Third eye+zenshin and Ikishoten+overhelm and Taint's set is one of the best ( ask Taint to post it again or search his posts). You can put 2 in sTP merits too and use ace's hands if you lack dusk+1 ( I think Taint's set involves Dusk+1 ). You can also search my posts for 3 sets I build on paper and all of them should work.
