So, you will either have too weak or too strong for a few levels. It is fairly annoying unless you can get a good duo or trio going.
    Even that isn't really possible. I was leveling with a friend before, but higher level monsters (even some greens) get a huge damage bonus against you for being higher. Spamming Sacrifice full time could just barely keep up with the monster's damage.

    Ah, I hadn't really tried on anything harder. x.x I'm not sure what to suggest then. I hope someone else has some better advice.

    Which is dumb because it seems that 500 rank points per mob seems to be about the cap per mob regardless of how many actions. So getting exp from curing only seems logical if its going to cap anyway. This really is only preventing people from exping overall or curing if they exp

    The exp bug is ridiculous.

    Apparently if you have a party w/ 3+ people, one person will not get skill every single fight. In their log during the fight, it will show up, but after the fight, it won't, and the bar in the menu will not have moved.

    One way around this in a party of 3 is to have a conjurer that only cures and buffs, but then they get shitty exp of course.

    Honestly, party exp seems so much better than solo / duo, that with 5+ people, it's worth the loss.

    With some experimenting, I saw the 500 xp cap in beta as well. However, I haven't really paid much attention to be sure whether or not it pushed beyond that after release.

    Think it was 540 or 550 in beta.

    Could someone share with me a good spot to earn Marauder rank points from 17~22? I spent a fair amount of time yesterday searching all over in each of the areas just outside the 3 cities and wasn't able to find mobs I could handle. Rank points have just died off against Dodo. I tried Goats (both nanny and billy) and nearly all were conning yellow (just outside Limsa) and I'd get close to finishing them but run into head butt spam and die. I also tried Opo outside Gridania but found the same thing would happen with them spamming that spin attack. I read the squirrels in coerthas are doable after 22 but I can't find anything from 17~22.

    Try 2nd-tier moles (Sultan's Trumpets, Moraby Moles, etc.) Should be fast kills, tolerable skill up until about 20.

    There's some Sultan's trumpets in a cave with a Magicked Bones that respawns every now and then to the north of Horizon as well.

    I attempted Sultans Trumpets as 18 THM and wouldn't suggest it. They may be good for melee or classes that can't spam heal, though. I killed 12 before I gave up. I'd say half of them gave me 180-220 skill, the other half gave me 10-30 skill. The good thing is that they die fairly quickly and seem to have VERY poor accuracy (I consistently dodged 30-50% of their attacks as THM, not absorbing).

    I have found that Faerie Funguar are a good source of skill points. Each one gives me 100-200 skill and they're all over the place. Their TP attack just inflicts poison, and they tend to spam it, which makes them fairly easy to kill with minimal damage taken. They also attack very slowly. I'm not sure if the poison would be an issue for physical classes, though, because my Regen counters it.

    What's a good spot with lots of those funguars? I've only seen randomly placed ones among different mobs so far.

    Faerie Funguars are rather abundant around Tranquil.
