Well do more testing while I'm busy getting 65 so I can get the gear I want when I'm done >.>

Though I really do wish someone could figure out the exact way this thing works, even though it did spawn a 12 page thread to my name ; ;

[Pyrena]

Yeah, I want to work on a nobles, but there isn't a Windurst controlled region that isn't dominated by beastmen at the moment so I'm opting for levels > gear until NPC is 65. I also need to figure out what gear looks like what so I can tell how I'm progressing. I don't spend enough time browsing at the AH

Saruta is dominated by Beastmen on your server?

[Sonomaa]

That's really the next step in the experiment. Killing mobs in different zones to see how they change gear progress. It would be interesting to go to Dangurf Wadi and kill the low-level goblins there to see if they will progress the beastmen mobs since it is always solidly Bastok controlled/dominated.

I wonder if certain mobs are just confounders, kind of like they reduce the progress made in the region and if you kill enough it will change gear randomly. Or it could just be bugged since this didn't seem to happen before the last update.

my npc group is on a break for a week or so to level up armor, I killed lizards in dangruf for a bastok gear reset except for some leg and feet upgrades, so Im hoping using my tactics and signal every day gets me some better level bastok gear

as a note I did agro half the gobs there accidently, stupid paw attacked the wrong button and I knelt, bastards kept following me for a while, till I killed them slowly one at a time with Raka

Oops, I meant places where she'll still get experience.

Toraimarai is good till lv60 for max xp, even then mobs will con "EM-low VT" up to 64.

There is a fairly huge leveling range in Toraimarai Canal, you can get your NPC to level 60 on the mobs there with max XP from just about every kill if you map the mobs correctly.

[Ankiseth]

Yeah but if you're not from Windurst with the quests done to enter the 3 mage door isn't it a huge hassle to go in there just to level NPC?

[Not Kuno]

You can get a Toramarai Certificate or something to enter.

You don't need to be from windurst to get a rhinostery certificate.

These past few days, I spent some time with my NPC in Sarutabaruta and Toraimarai.

Currently, Bastok has control of Sarutabaruta.

A few days ago, I called my NPC in Kuftal and killed some crabs for ~40minutes or so while skilling shield on my pld, then I warped out. Windurst had control of Kuftal at the time. All armor Windurst Level1.

Yesterday, I killed Stygian Pugils + Scavenger Crabs. All armor Windurst Level2. (Killed a few Makaras for the last few kills, takes so long to solo all those EP++ mobs)

Today was a bit weird.. I was heading to my Pugil/Crab camp, but my friend needed me to open the 3 mage door, so on the way I found a bunch of Canal Pugils. I decided to camp on those after I opened the gate. They were really easy to kill on my SMN, and they don't aggro or link^^ Also killed like 2 scavenger crabs inbetween pops, But... All my armor became Bastok lv1, except for the hands which were level 2 for some reason, and pants were still Windy lv2.

2nd call I killed only Makaras, armor became full Bastok lv2, except hands which were 3. (Didn't pay full attention to pants+shoes)

3rd call I went to sarutabaruta, and only killed crawlers+mandys. Armor became full level3, hands didn't change. (Didn't pay full attention to pants+shoes)

4th and last call I killed everything in saruta, armor became Sandy lv1. (Again didn't pay attention to pants+shoes.. my npc is taru, not like I can see it >_>)


So I'm thinking, maybe who has control of the region, controls the native mobs? The different mobs still belong to their country. Like, saruta mandys+crawlers+pugils+crabs belong to whoever owns them, and the regular mobs like rabbits are sandy, and the harder crabs+pugils in toraimarai are windy?

Just adding in my experience from today :3

Thats an interesting theory.

[Ankiseth]

I will have to look into that because I know there is some semi-ok farming to be done in Toraimorai so I can do that while getting Zenji a Noble's if I decide to do that route.

Still need to work on the feet. I'm not sure if I want him to wear no foot wear, or maybe Royal Knights.

Wow Sept, that is just all kinds of gay, which I'm sure is what you were going for. Even so, I don't see how anyone could think that looks good >.>

Demon Harness is my favorite harness design. It shows off his pecs.

NPC@62, killed nothing but Pugils in Toraimorai (except a few aggro crabs) 5 full calls, last time I talked to her she said "I must be close to halfway"......

Where do you guys level yours? Any good solo spots? A friend recommended the bats in Ifrit's Cauldron, but pretty much nothing else good for solo.

[NynJa]

torai dies at 60. You can still do starmites / doom skeletons up untill 60 for max xp (65-67 mob), but expect it to die off after that point.

[Septimus]

After 61 you pretty much have to party if you want to get max XP per kill. (Unless you are a BST.) I like Sand Cockatrices in Cape Terrigan to 65, I was able to tank them fairly easily; they are easily duoed if you have someone who can Silena and Stona. (An alliance makes the kills fly though. We did 6 people / 5 NPCs there once and it was fast.)

[Raineer]

Question on NPC partying:

Ok, so if I am "solo" xp'ing Karyn, I know she gets full XP for every mob I kill...as long as it's the proper amount of level above her.

If I party with another person, also levelling her NPC...does that reduce the XP for each NPC by half? I'm thinking if I solo a EM, it's 100XP to me. However if I duo an EM, that's 50xp to each of us. Do NPCs ignore that XP law?

Thanks
