Monstrosity: Acquiring Species

[Kainstryder]

I wish i knew how you guys level between 30-50 so fast. those levels are always a drag for me. but i imagine it goes faster with records of eminance poppin extra exp for u every 10 mobs.

I hunt gigas tiger pets in xarca under belligerency, especially if I'm a BLM or RDM. Just play Metal Gear Solid and kill tigers, then at 38 go after eyes and gigas till 46. Then I do Crawler's Nest on Hornfly/Exorays till 50. (Or if you're a large mob, go to Uleguerand Range zone line in Xarca and kill demons there till 50.)

Depends on the mob but most decent ones can go fast if you know where to go to keep chains up. Of course this often comes at the cost of infamy since best zones for that aren't belligerant zones most the time

And even if it isn't one of the better ones you have the option of just 2 shotting stuff in buburimu for decent xp. Which has gotten even better now with the bonus from RoE. Not just the kill 10 one but also the crystal one pops up fairly quickly especially water crystals if you stay on the beach

Shit, I forgot all about that. Yeah before this update, I was doing 21.5k an hour in Bubu, but with this RoE stuff, even better. Bubu sadly might be the best option, even though it's mind-numbingly boring.

Also, you can do stuff along the east coast, moving north and south in a circle, getting earth/fire crystals for RoE, if you run out of mobs for water.

As far as buburimu goes, there's the kill 10, crystals, kill 100, and kill 200 that you can run at the same time. It works out to +135 xp per mob, with each crystal being worth +100. If there's a time-triggered quest, that's another +75 per kill on mobs of that family (aquans and beasts have come up so far).

It's slightly higher xp than the double xp campaign if you stay for the full duration of the 100 / 200 mob quests. You don't get nearly as much infamy due to so much coming from the repeat quests.

I got lucky and the 100 kill (2nd completion), 200 kill, and 100,000 damage quests all completed in the 30-37 range for roc, so that was nearly 3 levels of that stretch free. I went to xarcabard at 37, doing skeletons and eyes, then eyes and gigas, before going to the uleguerand zoneline till 53. Legendary Roc was killing so fast that the bonus xp from eminence was really piling up.

Uh....so...just logged back in and I'm getting double exp on my monster...anyone else?

[arus2001]

Wait, you get crystals and other drops while in monster form? I've taken a few things to 30, but that's true, lightluggage must've been screwing me for like 5 leveled mobs worth of crystals. D:

It's only with belligerancy. With it up you can get crystals, geodes, and seals

[arus2001]

Good to know. D:

[Trumpy]

I did try out belligerancy a bit in bubu and xarc to see what it was like. Once i hit 50 beetle shit flies so far, especially with gambore or whatever it is called. I think its a mix of me not finding great camps and just that stretch just seems to be boring to me or soemthing cause its like i kill 2 mobs and i want to stop already lol. I been having alot of trouble the last couple years doing repetitive stuff i used to have no problem with (like i made 10 magian elemental path weapons easily after they were added and now after 10 kills i want to cut my own throat) I will definately try these suggestions out.

[Trumpy]

double exp might not be a bug due to

Though it sounds like for returning players only how could they really specify who gets the effects of it? Makes me happy cause i was an idiot in the 11 anni one they just had and didnt play much at all. When it was over i wished so bad that i worked on monstrosity during it.

[Spira]

not exactly familiar with Monstrosity, but DQX Slime is Type Other and WAR as far as i can tell.

no TP moves up to lv15

[arus2001]

How'd you get it?

[Spira]

gotta do the DQX collab event. kill 100 slimes for 100 coins, buy the shield, cap and earring.

[arus2001]

Ugh, what I thought. 40/100 now and it's starting to get crowded.

Does it have a 2 hour ? or is the only option relinquish ?
I'm betting no job, and no TP moves.

[Spira]

Mighty Strikes.
Berserk at 15

what other ways are there to tell its job?

[JafoZero]

In an edit over in the crossover thread...you may need to win the coat first, but I traded 1 of each type of crystal to the Spriggan and he gave me the fetish.

EDIT:
Seems to be a WAR/BLM (forgive me been away for awhile...starts with Stone and Mighty Strikes)
Frenetic Flurry - 8 fold attack 150TP

It's war/war then.

Party up, everyone gets a coin on the kill. :D
