Exp per fight??? - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Spiritbear · 01-08-2007, 11:59 AM

I'm just trying to figure something out. I have been trying to solo my bst but it seems that I'm only getting between 30-60 exp per fight and I was wondering what everyone else usually gets.

I was in the Maze[tab] soloing and that is what I was getting from the EM and T mobs I was fighting. I'm not sure if I'm not fighting the right way but I would usually end up missing about 1/8 - 1/3 hp after each fight. Help me out so I can be a better bst.

off topic.

There is something deftly wrong with the clock and new posts.

for low level BST, that sounds about right. what were you charming?

Base EXP for soloing Even Match is 100 exp, and for Tough is 120 - 180 exp. If you have a charmed pet when the monster dies, you get 30% less EXP. If you have charmed a Tough (or above) pet and used it against the monster, you also get less EXP (relative to the level of the pet i think).

If you never use Tough pets, manage to get your pet to die before the monster (Leave will later help you with this) and you solo the kill, you should get 100 exp and above on Even Match and Tough monsters.

To get full EXP from kills bellow level 35 (when you get Leave) can be tricky. I use a combination of Reward and Heel to time the death of the pet. But sometimes will you get hate from doing the Heel command, and the monsters starts attacking you instead of the pet.

One alternative to exp using charmed pets, is to use jug pets to kill Easy Prey. Jug pets don't give you EXP loss if they are alive when the monster dies.

I was charming em or dc bats and fighting em or t mobs usually t though.

When I got to 23 and got Jug Pets my exp changed. I was soloing in Qufim me and CC against the worms and I was gaining between 120 and 160 exp each fight.

ummmm.... don't use CC at that level, it's almost the same as normal crab(Crabfamilier) but abit more expensive >.>
your EXP may suck alil bit 'till you get to 35 and learn {Leave} command, at that time you'll be getting chain3 and maybe Chain4 in good camps.

I was using CC cause I had the Fish Oil Broths in my MH one of my bst buddies had given me two stacks of them. I figured I could use them and get them out of my MH.

Levels 1-34 are always gonna be crap exp for the most part. The reason why your exp is so bad is because you have a pet when you kill the mobs thats giving you a 30% reduced exp.

For early lvls when you fight a tough there are a few things you can do. For the most part you should be able to take an evan match an melee with it til the mob is close to death. IF the mob is losing hp faster then your pet, its timefor you to back off. if its gaining advantage over your pet, but you know you wont be able to finish it off then tunr an fight again. When your pet dies you should have enough TP, to melee for a second or 2 an WS it.

Sometimes while your fighting you can start off the fight with a evan match, let it die an use a D/C to finish it off that will up your exp. You can start off with a D/C pet, an then jump to a evan match mob to finish off the monster, Then quickly take that EM pet with half life an send it at another tough mob. Find a D/C to finish it off an grab a chain #1.

Each pet you use Vs a mob will have a certain way to fight it. Some you can melee with along side, some you cant an have to rely on 2 pets.

When you use heel/stay, make sure the mob is not on your radar. You wont take hate that way and the mob will finnish off your pet. I don't know if this will work if you fight along side of your pet since I don't. It hasn't failed me yet. You my be surprised at how far away you can be from your pet and still have your commands work. Get a good distance away from the fight to watch and command your pet. This will also give you more time if you need a extra pet. The less dammage you take, the better.
