I remember Chilli showed a screenie with 24k/hr, something about 2brds + 2melees + 2mages. I could be remembering it wrong but it not something you forget easily.

You can even get 14k/hr on D.Weapons in sky, if your bard knows how to chain them constantly. I've pulled a Chain48 up there before, it's not too hard if you know what you're doing and kill at an exact speed (best is PLD/NIN, WARx2, DRK/WAR).
It was probably 2BRDs, 3Melee, 1RDM. I've done it before and I can probably say 50% Haste (Haste Spell, Double March, Gear), with double minuet on at all times is the most amazing thing ever. You can just sit there and melee mobs to death without WSing in under the time it takes to make a chain 6.Originally Posted by Elcura
Have you ever done a merit party? Getting 10k/hr with 4 melees 1-2 of which are leeching in sky(lower exp per kill) isn't even that hard.Originally Posted by BRP
Really good RDM and BRD pullers (I found it to go smoother when I pulled more mobs than the bard), I'd love to try the 3WAR/2BRD/1RDM setup. You would need WAR's pimped to the hilt but 3 could be found on Siren pretty easy.
I mean above, not about, and I still don't believe higher than 12k until I see parser results, I don't care how 'possible' it is to imagine. I'm sure its possible, but I rather have proof.
I've personally averaged above 16k per hour over a 4 hour period in Uleg Range with WAR WAR WAR WAR RDM BRD (no XP rings or w/e). When you can infinate chain on high VT/actual IT's then you'll easily get 16k/hr.Originally Posted by BRP
No one here cares if you believe it, feel free to stay in KRT and lufaise and leave the higher camps open to others.

73,000 exp in 4hrs (18k/hr) Uleguerand Range Party
FRONT:Ninja (taru), Warrior (taru w/dual axes), Warrior (elvaan w/ kclub)
BACK: Red Mage, White Mage, Bard
Surprisingly we weren't up top, but in the (F-6) clearing below the ramp.
You don't need 4 ridill wars to pull off chain30-70, but you must keep up tp gain. The whole 4hrs I never lost haste from either whm or rdm, I think all 3 melees with haste is key to killing quickly. Bard sang dual minuet as well. The only time I had to "clean up" was on molechs, where I would rampage twice due to using kraken. The ninja was very consistent on sc'ing rampage > blade jin for adding extra scission dmg. During high chains the Bard and Red Mage ran extremely long distances to pull mobs, but it definately took both of them to keep it going. 1 puller isn't enough for sure. As far as warrior is concerned, I use 30 accuracy during Rampage to keep consistency higher on IT mobs. Sushi is a must as well, make sure melee's are not using red curry or any attack food.
PS As you see in my screenshot and others, the next mob in the chain are always Smolenkos. They are gauranteed chain breakers. Bindga is annoying, but lv5 petrify is the worst. We lost chain right after due to it. No way to avoid it, but try and kill smolenkos as quickly as possible.

Nerf melee
Right after BLMs!Originally Posted by Not Kuno
Nerf your face.
I dont usally exp much, but when I do I usally get around 13kish/hr in sky main weapons just bsing with a few friends <.<.
Granted I have dalm and they all have purples and a few with Ridills.
I'm a MNK, but my best party ever wasn't in KRT but in Uleguerand Range, with BRD/NIN RDM/WHM WAR/NIN WAR/NIN RNG/WAR MNK/NIN...we got above 34k exp in 2 hours, so that's a little over 17k per hour.
- WAR 1 had Axe+Ridill and Adaman Hauberk, with capped merits or close to it
- WAR 2 had dual axes and not that many merits and a not-so-shiny gear setup
- RNG was using EBow and badass STR gear and he has a shitload of merits
- MNK (that's me) was using Destroyers, acc gear and attack food
- BRD just had obtained his Sha'ir Manteel and was showing off full Sha'ir
- RDM had Dalmatica and AF2 head, pretty sure he had a lot of situational gear, since he was swapping gear all the time
From what I remember, BRD lullaby was resisted twice.
We did over 17k per hour, members being above the average, but not super-pimps. I'm pretty sure you can get 18-19k with an optimal WAR x4 + BRD + RDM party. Definately 20k with 4x PurpleHauby/Ridill/KClubs/ WARs.
Lol just bout everytime we go to ulegrand range we get 15+k per hour, its not some remarkable feat, its pretty simple with some good warriors and a good mage duo. I personally have played brd in those parties with lockecole. Oh btw, listen to him, hes always right :wink:Originally Posted by BRP
Why don't I ever get into these parties...
Oh yeah, everybody hates DRK. Seriously though, a smart DRK/WAR with Guillotine (and maybe a Patroclus Helm) should work, there arent any nasty AoEs there that blink blocks... right? FYI: My guillotines as a DRK/WAR average 800ish on the mobs up there when I have a BRD, best on Kindred SMNs of course.
I'm considering making such a party because I'm very behind on merits (but my gear is pretty good.)
Actually should I go now or go as DRK/NIN when I get NIN finally up to snuff (its @34 now, probably will finish leveling it wednesday.)
The only way to come close to out-parsing some of these wars would be drk/nin with a ridill offhand and capped axe merits...possibly an E. body. Its too bad there really arent any of those that i know about on Siren, cause the stun sure is helpful for -gas and other TP moves.
Well, I actually put up comparable numbers to WARs who ARENT pimped out the ass with blueberks and ridills when I parse as DRK/WAR and I dont hold back. The main issue is I have to hold back... you have no idea how much I want a Novia Earring![]()
Yeah, you may put up big number guilotines, but can you even come close to comparing to the rate of a war/nin? Plus most rampages break 800, with ease, 1000+ avg
