Figuring out sigil exp bonus

[LinktheDeme]

as stated in this thread http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/viewt...hp?f=2&t=26494
Theres an exp bonus for sigil, I'm curious what are the variables if any. While I'm too scared to join a nation not sure if you can leave it and join another (I don't want to join shitty bastok cause i'm bastokan and its easier to get their in the past though i heard something about warping to any area from anywhere if people can confirm this that'd be lovely). Anyway main reason for this post is for people who want to test these posibilities for the variables and put your results (Or answer my thoughts from before if you want prz :D).

Possible variables
Your nations overall ranking
If the area is under your nations control
If the area is nation or Beastman controlled
Or a combination of 1+2 , 1+3, 2+3, or 1+2+3 I guess.

Best way to test 2 and 3 is to get two buddies, one from another nation and another without a nation or with one but no sigil and compare exp gain in different zones. One in beastman, one in the home nations, and one in a neutral territory(IE if both bastok and sandoria go to a windurst controlled zone). Option 1 not availble til a conquest tally. All contributions by people are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone and feel free to offer your theories on stuff and sorry if this has been posted D:

Sigil also gives the no TP loss while healing bonus from the recent Signet changes. Not sure if it provides any/all of the other bonuses.

I'll see if I can find anything out, though most of my friends are Windy also =/

Also, is there any way to get Sigil outside of your home nation? I've only been able to get it from the gate guard in Windy so far, that I've noticed. NPCs next to flags in Saruta and Garlaige didn't give the option

Also just thought about bringing a 3rd person with no sigil for a control of the exp to witness exact exp difference bonus for each if any. I'll edit accordingly

If Sigil exp bonus is like that from Signet then it would be based on how many people are in the party. I remember a post from someone saying how they got 25% more exp when they were duoing, that corresponds with what would happen with Signet in a 2-player party.

Seems likely, since it has other Signet effects.

Another thing to test then, party numbers. Kill stuff in a 6 person party and see if there's any bonus?

So SE seems to have combine Signet and Sanction together to make Sigil?
That sounds pretty sexy. I wonder if people will start xping here in these areas
instead of Aht Urghan areas now.

Unlikely without VT-IT mobs...

[Judai]

Lots of VT+ mobs, just have to look harder. Slew of VT Gigas at the bottom of Vunkerl Inlet and other mobs in the corners and harder to reach places of other zones.

[Kaslo]

Well let me correct:

needs VT-IT mobs people actually want to fight.

[Judai]

Why wouldn't you want to fight Gigas? They don't really have any bad moves, unless their AoEs moves are seriously buffed up and they drop gil! I haven't fought these Blue ones but if they are like old gigas, they are prolly fine to exp on. The only thing stopping people from exping in old areas is TAU exp bonus really.

Duoed a VT MNK one as THF + RDM, was surprisingly easy considering our setup and the fact that it was a MNK.

Only problem with the Gigas is we noticed a lot of them were Tough, so the range was T-VT.

There are plenty of VT Scorpions and Gnats in Meri Mountains. I hear Gnats are really good xp. Easy kills ftw >.> <,< >.> Probably some VT cocks down there too. I KNOW UR MOM IS IN2 DAT!

Anyway, I see this entire expansion as being absolutely awesome for mid-level BST xp. There are charmable monsters in damned near every zone, you get an xp boost for duo/trio, and there are so many freaking beastmen. Not to mention new beastman bringing new beastman pets ~.^. The east side of Starfall Hillock in W-Saru has at least one BST gob. Not to mention freaking FROGS in the south part of W.Saru. IMMA GIT ME A FREAKING FROG PET! God, imagine if you could 2-hour charm Gnats. Freaking Lynxs wouldn't stand a chance.

I'm from Bastok, but I got Sigil from the gate guard right before I left Windurst. I haven't found any Sigil people in any non-town areas yet though.

Gnats have an aoe tp wipe move though >.>

[Kaslo]

I'm praying there is a good camp in xarc >.>

Isn't signet a 50% bonus for duoing and the person reported a 25% bonus? Meaning it's a little more complicated then that?
