Kept my mining gear and went on seek for some EXP PTs. During the weekdays, I
ended up levelling Alchemy. On weekends, I went on a total of 3 EXP sessions.
First one was great. 4500 exp an hour. could’ve been better but our Ranger had
to leave an hour after the PT started because of linkshell issues. I
did a search later to find him in Behemoth’s Dominion, as a level 75 Ninja. King
Behemoth spawned I guess.
Next one sucked. This little taru monk formed an average PT and we were
headed for Valley of Sorrow. Where Velociraptors and Perytons lurk. I was made
the puller, no one else had a ninja subjob for utsusemi. I ended up reaching
back to camp with less than 50% health half the time and died once when the
raptor continuously critical-hit me. At first he invited a level 63 Paladin. Too
high! We had 100+ exp each kill.
Then I supposed he asked the paladin to leave. And he brought in a level 58
Paladin. Too low! He couldn’t tank the Peryton well and ended up saying he wants
to leave soon.
After this second EXP PT, I’ve decided to keep 2 different types of sushi.
Bream sushi, the cheapest I can find, which still gives +15% accuracy and Sole
Sushi, the most expensive NQ sushi that gives +6 Strength and the usual +15%
accuracy. The cheap one for those lousy exp PTs and the expensive one to use in
good PTs.
Also went on a skill up PT at Kuftal Tunnel. Reached 200 skill in Great Sword
and learned Sickle Moon. I’m gonna need a Sniper Ring should I have to use Great
Sword in an EXP PT to close Distortion. I also claimed Amemet! Not knowing it’s
a low HNM, in other words it’s too tough for my PT, I all of 4 members
of my PT killed. [X|]
And to summarize what I’ve learnt over the weekend, I need an Amemet Mantle
+1! Currently 1~1.2 million gil. I figured I need it’s help to do at least 100+
per swing in EXP PTs. As of my last EXP PT, I’m doing 80~120. In my
own words, higher strength raises damage cap, example: 130
instead of 120, and higher Attack increases minimum damage, example: 90 instead
of 80.
