IMO Xp camps in ToAU are lame. I liked how CoP released Xp camps.

First there was Lufaise. Then they released Al'Taieu which was also good for xp. Then they released the grand palace which was good to xp in too. Then they released the garden which had the manaburn camps but it's still good to xp on the aerns if you roam.


ToAU has one blm camp that was released at the start and is super overcrowded. Yay.

I actually know of like 10 camps... but no one likes to do princes it seems...

in MountZ, i've seen the 1 pudding camp everyone knows of, and 4 wamoura camps

puddings = chain5
princes = chain3

maybe i just suck (sometimes get chain4 on princes, but thats probably lucky conserve mp activations)[/quote:1dd8e]

I regularly get chain 10 on princes but requires a smart puller. BLU actually serves well for it to pull then after first volley of nukes Temporal Shift > Soporific.

Puddings are a solo/duo chain 5 by the way. When it comes down to it, as a BLM you'd rather have more camps with mobs you can Aspir. Were the pudding camps as abundant as the Wamoura camps, you could run melee burn sized chains on puddings, but with so few camps there is always someone else there to bust up a chain.

Yes but at first he cried that there was only one BLM camp, and he cries later that it's only one SOLO BLM camp, if you want BLM camps you should want ones for parties. I don't see melee's crying because they don't have solo camps.

[Nirokun!]

i had the idea in my head that i was soloing chain5's on puddings >_> i dont PT (i did once with LS, but not really after that)

melees dont cry for solo camps because... they cant solo? anything you could give a standard melee to solo would be raped by existing solo jobs lol

i'd be happy with melee PTs getting somewhat higher exp/hr if my solo exp/hr was unobstructed (read: clusterfucked) by other people. melee's would get more exp for their time fighting mobs, while soloers would get the overall same exp, just over the duration it took a melee PT to build, find camp, get to camp, fight, and leave.\

edit:

i listed in my last post solo camps i knew of, you're the only one who's posted about blm PTs at those camps lol

Why exactly should he want them for parties only? I want more solo camps, too. Why don't you?

...riiiight.

[Julian]

Ignore Kaslo, it's okay.

[Not Kuno]

I don't care about melee they have more then enough camps in toau.

[Lexa]

I don't care about melee they have more then enough camps in toau.

Melees have more than enough camps, period, but nobody ever wants old-area exp anymore.

Ding ding. It's ToAU or fail. I say this like I say all the time-- if SE adds even the slightest decent exp bonus to Signet, we would be having camp problems. Although something tells me the signet-system used in WotG will fix this problem somewhat.

[alphacat]

You're assuming there's a new signet system in WotG. That just doesn't seem likely.

[Septimus]

I'm counting on a BG holmes, but i'm almost certain that during one interview (1up iirc) they said there will be a end game area similar to sea or sky.

The problem is that unless they hid it well in the existing dat files there are no unreleased zones for ToAU. (As far as I remember there is only one unreleased zone, "The Last Stand", and that was from RotZ. And it may not even be a real zone.) There is always the possibility that they could add a second assault to Nyzul Isle, one of the other instance zones or perhaps an area that is in a current zone that is locked- but I am fairly certain that every ToAU zone is currently in use.

[Sho]

One can only hope. As it stands still, Signet is still pretty useless for high lvling/meriting (also it's great for soloing low lvl mobs now). I'm sure SE will make a move to flip the current camping problems that we are having. No one wants to give up a +15% EXP bonus and 1/tick Refresh Bonus.

[Sagacious Sundi]

You're assuming there's a new signet system in WotG. That just doesn't seem likely.

They have already stated that there's going to be Conquest/Besieged-like system in the past (conquering areas/regions with Besieged-scale battles?). Conquest has Signet, Besieged has Sanction. Sounds likely that WotG's regional system will have its own enhancement thingy.

There is always the possibility that they could add a second assault to Nyzul Isle, one of the other instance zones or perhaps an area that is in a current zone that is locked- but I am fairly certain that every ToAU zone is currently in use.

I'm sorry but this game wasn't mean to be a solo game. Even the camp you want to solo at is a know manaburn party camp. Just cause you can solo doesn't mean it's the only way to get exp. And if your taking mobs from an party that's there I would call you the ass.

And Julian wtf is your problem? Just cause we have a different viewpoint on things you just have to an ass to me all the time?

[Khelek]

it's are called a internets

[Sho]

Julian is a big boy now, lolz. And the internets is serious business, like the Mr. Snapes said.

I meant serious zones. But you could totally see the Colosseum being end-game and Square wondering why there are riots in the streets of Whitegate...

I'm sorry but this game wasn't mean to be a solo game.

And many of people consider the dependence on parties to do anything and everything to be one of the biggest failures of this game.
