Lv75 EXP Areas on other Servers

[Orfeo]

I've been trying to get sea since before it was released, well, rather, complete CoP. I've been through so many statics...all of which break when the WHM quits :/

[Atreides]

Lufaise is great xp for a 75 pt with a nin tank and whm for petribreath, unless there's blms manaburning the hell out of it >_>

[Onizuka]

that's a really good place to have a running party if you're careful.

I had a great running party there, no deaths(everybody skilled) it was easy and fun nin/rng/drk/brd/blm/whm

I've had great pt's at Uill aswell depending on the blm, normally pld/drk/sam/blm/rdm/whm i Remember Namie doing 2k MB's on those Golems >.>

Aura weapon camp was good too always empty.(hope the door is open^^)

give us more Lv75 EXP zones, or give us full EXP for killing mobs in level cap areas

Well, if you're 75 you're most likely working on merits, right? (unless you're trying to cap xp first, which is a huge waste of 4 merit points if you ask me ) Merits aren't affected by the xp cut in level capped areas, and can actually be really nice since they fixed the xp chain problem a lil while back (seen 200 limit points+ on chains in sacrarium)

[Dethsbane]

Is that really true? Someone told me XP gets halved or something... but if you've seen it yourself, I guess it is true!

[layoneil]

XP was never halved if you were on Merits. the only problem was if you're above the level cap you didn't get XP chains. that was supposedly patched but i haven't tested it since.

You get xp for the level you're capped on if you are on Merit mode but you'll get lvl 75 adjusted XP (which sucks) if you are on XP mode.

But seriously, who wants to merit party in a level capped zone when you can't even take advantage of your good 75 gear?

[Rex]

Yes, regular xp is halved in level capped zones for everyone above the level cap (41+ in phomiuna will get half the xp that someone 40 and below would get, 51+ in sacrarium, etc) BUT for some reason merits are exempt from this. You get full merit points in capped areas and it makes for some really nice xp sessions.

The xp chain issue I was talking about was a few patches back where you could kill mobs that con IT to you endlessly in capped areas but you would never get xp chains if your "real" level was higher than the capped level (or at least higher than the level of the mobs; meaning a L55 mob would chain for a L55 person but not a L56 person, even if the mob cons IT to both in a 50 cap area), and it was basing chains off of that. SE fixed it, and mobs chain based on how they con in the capped area now.

It's fun and different? Personally I love fighting fomors, and if you bring a thief along you're bound to make some nice gil. Think of it as farming with the added perk of really nice xp :D

Sometimes you gotta adjust to changes, 50 cap is quite nice imo, you get a lot of decent gear and abilities (double attack/defender/autorefresh/etc from subjobs, stun/flash, fairly wide variety of spells, can sub garuda for blink, earthen ward from summoner main, etc). Also, you barely lose any xp if you happen to die, and don't have to go cry about not having R3 handy.

Helped out with Riverne Site #A01 recently. A tough Hippogryph never hit the paladin for over 20 damage. They really made them weak.

[Rex]

speaking of capped areas, this is sort of a derailment, but has anyone noticed having job traits work that shouldn't work? Only obvious one I've noticed is divine veil (55 or 60 whm trait, not sure on level but it definitely isn't 50 or under) works in sacrarium. I tell all whms I bring there to use it and every time they say "but my lvl is too low here blahblah" then they use it and go O.o

Been wondering for a while if this is a bug for this one trait, if other job traits work too, or if SE recently lowered the level on divine veil

[Nagamaki]

Divine Veil is lv50, its always been level 50 since it was created.

Also, you get both limit and xp chains in capped areas now, but xp chains will be half the xp (you can still get any chain #, we've had #8 and stuff farming in sac).

Strato Hippogryphs and Fomors are pretty good for merit parties, and 75 NINs can solo very good chains in capped areas. You might not have your god gear at that level, but its hella easier to get "perfect" gear for lv50 than it is for lv75, and you'll get most of your merit upgrades active in there beside job specific merits.

I thought of trying Vahzl near the spire for xp, but overall Empty have pretty strong moves so its probably not that great.

[Rex]

every whm I've brought there was convinced you couldn't use it (and didn't use it, until I told them to) and I remember first day divine veil was out a random level 50-something whm sent me a /tell asking what lvl you get the trait because he didn't have it yet

was always under the impression it was level 55 or possibly 60, either way I was above that when the patch came out so I didn't think much of it.
