There's 3 different setups for people looking for MMM xping.
Sorry for slightly derailing, but this will help some people and alleviate congestion in some xp areas.
Nah but MMM is great EXP, for an hour I can gain a level once a day where its not going to be absolute hell, or dealing with idiots... SAM and NIN don't really get the privilege of easy partys unlike on my BRDwhich I miss, cause every BRD I encounter FAILS ;-; and cant sleep or land elegy on shit, seems all the nice BRDs are already 80.. now the fail wave is starting to wash ashore.
Thanks for that link, burning. I have a lot of maze runes but have never played around with different exp mazes. Definitely gonna use that.
I think it really is a fair question. The new camps are simply not always the best way to make the new exp require right now. I'm sure it'll change soon but Yugl is right. On my server there's basically a 30 minute wait before you can enter.Why ppl here is not talking of how the jps make like 50k per hour in MMM ?
But in the future, that could be a very good thing for a group of friends, or maybe even a pickup group, to do for exp ->
MMM x6 (3hr) -> Abyssia (4hr). 7 hours of good exp if done correctly. Well, I guess I'm just assuming Abyssia is good exp. And also 4 hours of it would require that you have 4 entry thingamabobs saved up, and you've done the quest or w/e to change it from 30 minutes to 1 hour per.
And really as of late, most merit parties I was in started winding down before 2 hours.
MMM Exp:
Sanitization Team Alpha
Bird tiles
Make sure rune 108 is in there
COR, RDM, 3 Piercing DDs, 1 other
Enter, Level sync, kill everything, keep COR roll up the whole time, you'll get half exp from each mob.
Get to the end in 15 min, pop the box, receive 6-9k exp + the 2-4k you got otw there, person who started it gets 2k bonus.
Exit, pass lead to the next person in the PT to set up the next maze, repeat 6 times.
that's the short version, read the MMM thread or wiki link if you want more detail.
I wanted to point out this manaburn MMM someone posted on Alla-K: http://mdh.gamependium.com/strategies/mmm/manaburn.php
Supposedly you can get 10k in 20ish minutes. That's decently fast exp for BLM that works now and will work 81-99 also.
Edit: Ah, it seems like it is in the MMM thread. Still, it's good to know for those that don't follow that thread.
You're out of your mind if you consider keeping a relic weapon job at 75 without leveling it up while FULLY UPGRADING it via magians for the sole purpose of merits to be a reasonable expectaton in any way shape or form before we even get into the question of how you expect a lv 75 to equip a lv 80 weapon.
On shiva MMM takes so long to get in the XP actually blows chunks you can take over an hour just to enter. Its good if you can get right in but sitting and spamming the storefront for 30 minutes plus just to get a 20 minute run in blows bigtime SE needs to fix this shit.
Big whooshes here guys. You're really really really missing the point of my original statement.
Take one job that you dont care about getting past 75 out of your multiple 75. Find 5 others with the proper job distribution who didn't take a job past 75. Make the merit and DONT LEVEL SYNCH while everyone is in merit mode because that is your "merits" job. Are you seeing why expecting the jobs who arent 76 to run around with a lv 80 relic weapon is a bit much yet?
Just to add to the MMM thing, did the birds runs x6 last night and got about 60k exp in about 3.5hours, maybe closer to 4. Would have been a lot less time if A) we didn't have to switch party up and B) entering didn't take fucking 25 minutes for the last two runs.
It's good exp. But I almost quit and went to bed just spamming enter. Oh my god it's so frustrating.
you need to chain the entire zone, which ins't that hard but still. you also won't get anywhere near 4k otw to the box, even with cor, lucky for 2k.
the bonus box is random, you get it like 1/3 of the time(leader onry)
also if you RDM and get triple bats your kill speed is going to be trashed, drop rdm, bring a whm
Second hoardbox is only for the leader and only if they have CC points accumulated, which you get every real day for which you don't enter MMM.
I was with a group that tried to enter MMM around 11 PM PST yesterday and we disbanded after an hour of spamming the entry.
not trying to knock RDM or MMM in general, it's good atm due to the crowding, but in our last 2 sets of runs:
whm brd(relic) thf(relic) cor(/dd) mnk sam we cleared all in about 13-15mins and never got mad expz, was fine though
then: whm brd dnc/cor sam war mnk was abit lower.
I dont know if its new, but the wyvern camp in grauberg is supposed to be good for BLM manaburn from 75-80...take it with a grain of salt though
