i really want to get over level 40, but i cant! im 39 now and have been seeking since 9am (~6 hours) and only got 1 PT invite to a party that was terrible. ive been looking constantly for people to jon and make my own PT, but to no avail, because no one wants to wait 1 hr for a party ... what do you sgugest i do? ive ben seeking in jueno

I know the feeling. Despite what people say, I go lfp for 6 hr+ many times. I recommend getting your Altepa gate crystal. You should have sneak, and thats all you'll pretty much need getting there (except for the Gigas). I think I ran all over the world and stuff. XD! But if you're that bored then try getting the altepa crystal. You'll need it alot later on.

Although ish hard now, just take whatever pt you can get and make a level or two. I think there's another slump at mid fourties as well.

I know the feelin... I'm 40 now and havent really tried to geta pt yet at this lvl but 39-40 took me ages.... just keep at it and u will get there eventually. Just remember even a chain for 50exp/kill is better than noting... i tend to run in to more and more people that wont kill anything giving less than 150exp even if it takes 2 hours to kill it... cant understand those people.

Oh and one more thing.... I recomend u try going out to the place u want to lvl ex Crawlers Nest and search there.... may not help but from experience its easier to get a pt if u'r ready to join as soon as they need u so they dont have to wait for u to go from jeuno

just hang in there u'll get your lvl

At higher levels it's not uncommon to go a few days without a party, but what I tend to notice is that when I do party they're usually good ones at this level. Unlike at lower levels when there is only a few thousand exp per level and people will join just to get the x amount of EXP they need to level, at my level people are pretty much expected to join for the long haul and it becomes common to party with a group for a minimum of 3-4 hours if it is well organized. Personally I need 20k exp per level from 55-60, but any decent party I join doesn't usually split until around 8,000 exp has been gained.

I guess what I am saying is that if you hang in there for now, things will look up.

I had a horrible time getting a party from levels 39-44. however, since i have broken lvl 45, the invites seem to be coming in faster. when i hit 46 i needed to take some time off for farming, and i have recieved 3-4 party invites while not seeking, during my farming. it just seems like there's party bottlenecks at certain levels, I had the same problem at 26-30 as well.

All i can say is you just have to tough it out, it might be a pain, and you might go a few days without a party, but you'll get past it.

here's what i suggest you do. when going lfg, try and take notice of other people who are doing the same thing. also, take notice of the people you party with. when i was around the 40s, i partied with the same few people very often, so i asked them to form a static party. i only go lfg nowadays if i die too much from doing stuff like skill-up solo or quests/missions.

as for when lfg, make sure you deck out your search comments. don't put in any false info, but any relevant info or anything that could make you stand out would be great. for mine, i put in xp tnl, home point, equipment, +int, and that i can understand japanese. seems to help so far. sometimes, there's multiple blms lfg and i'll be the first to get chosen or something.
