Gounds of Valor XPFollow

Had this happen in mines while trying to level some jobs on an alt, then a buddy found that if he went outside town and got level 8 (I think it was), he started getting exp per kill from the higher level mobs, and the full experience per completion. So it works, just not at level 1 (not sure what exact level is, but 8 took all of 20 minutes to get)

Ah, figured it was something like that. It doesn't take long to burn through some lower levels, so wasn't a big issue for me. Just thought it be easy to work on some merits and npc levels while getting some free xp on my alt as an after thought. I'll probably just work it up to lv20 and park it while I work on one of my lv40/50 jobs. Should be good at that point. Thanks for the info.

Helped a friend level his DNC sub in the Mines. He started at 1, but couldn't get EXP from the high end mobs with me being 95+. He was able to get pages for the lowbie mobs and just level pretty quickly there. Eventually wound up getting him to 49 and I finally got the stupid skill up ring. :/

If you have enough people willing to go grind for you to leech GoV, why not just throw the same people into abyssea and get even more EXP?

If you're just trying to 'solo' grind for an alt, you may actually be better off just joining the relevant GoV party for your level. I imagine a Crawler's Nest alliance is faster than 'one guy soloing leeches', but of course YMMV.

Because you can't go to Abyssea until level 30.

Fun fact: Even if you average 10exp of 'trickle' for 300 kills to finally blow your Anni ring charge down you'll have gone from level 15 to level 40 or 41 just on the page exp.

Bost*tab* is easily the best and fastest leeching exp. If you're below level 60 in Abyssea it takes easily half an hour just to start seeing even 1 exp per kill, in Bost*tab* you'd be dinging off every other page already without having to rely on camping the NPC every five kills.

I think in that linked thread I broke it down that just a decent group could roll 195k/hr down there, and that's for anyone over just level 15 or a little higher without certain preparations. Beats the hell out of getting trickle exp for the first two hours of an abyssea run just for it to fail to TE and crash.

Doing it wrong.

Most of my EXP in Abyssea, even post-Heroes, has been done without pages, because other than the doll camp most of the pages just plain suck (either they are worth too little, have to run too far to get them, or both). And of course, everyone else knows that, so the doll camp is almost always packed and unusable.




Well, there's your problem >_> (Don't forget ebon lights as well)

What I usually do when I solo/lowman EXP is build up ruby immediately to the point where I'm getting tier 4 and 5 red boxes to drop. (The exact amount required for this varies depending on zone and how many prosperity abyssites you have, so I can't give an exact figure) The tier 4 boxes are for getting intense azure lights (+64 azure) because I often do not have the luxury of having a caster to get azure with, and I'm too lazy to dual box a mage job in there just to get azure.

Because people used to 'Clysm/Cleave those while camping the timed dragon NM for Isgebind, not to mention how fast that dragon would chew through an alliance if they weren't.
