    how exactly are you figuring $1000?

    from oracles alone you're going to make 100 mil exp?

    4x people are already closing to 6x because of oracles and it's only been out for 1 day.

    If people can get almost 20 lvls in 1 day of this event then in 2 weeks 9x can be achieved b:surrender

    Kind of ridiculous IMO.

    People switched servers because everyone on the old servers were 80+ and now this **** has gotten people 40 lvls in one day.

    You get Oracles from the Spring event. They gave ~12kxp and you just need to kill one monster. Over and over.

    Very rare quest books, give you 13k~18k exp for killing a miniboss that respawns instantly.
    With this event you can get tons of it, so with 13~18k exp a hundred times or more you outlevel everyone who quests/grind the way it was suposed to be.

    96.273.594 <---Experience from level 60-90

    The event has been out for 2! Days and is not available for 2 weeks (thats charm packs) but for 1.
    I doubt, that people will get more then level 65 with oracles...

    I laugh at all the people who thought they would go to a new server grind away 24hr a day to think they were good. Back to the bottom of the pile with you. Pay up or shut up.

    You can get the oracles from the lucky item in charm packs.

    Ok some quick numbers here to elaborate on what he said (his numbers look right to me, just giving more detail)

    level
    1-60 6.6 million xp
    60-65 2.8 million xp
    65-70 4.5 mill
    70-75 7.3 mil
    75-80 13.7 mil
    80-85 24.7 mil
    85-90 42.8 mil


    There's a big difference between the rush to 60 and the rush to 90 and how many of these packs you would have to buy.

    I guess if people went 1-65, that's about 9.4 mil. If you did that 11 times, you'd be level 90.


    Edit:
    Ok you said from 4x-63? From 40-63 is 5.78 million xp. Do that 16 times and you could be level 90.

    Yes it is crazy fast leveling, but its not as fast as you're making it out to be.
    Also, these mobs are not all in safe zone or anything like that, Harshlands is a pvp server, go camp the thing and don't let people do that.

    +1. I read somewhere on the forums that someone grinding at lv 80 with 50% esoterica gets like 3% an hour.

    If thats true then these higher levels will be hitting a brick wall soon. If you play enough then you will catch up.

    with $1000 in GA yes you would. might be a little short but you will have quests for 90 levels to finish the last level then.

    The GM's said they weren't allowing people to transfer characters for a reason, because it defeats the purpose of a new server. This event has done pretty much that. Pay enough and you get a higher level character. This event defeats the purpose of the new server. Good work, hypocrites.


    To the thought of camping it: You can't. There is a huge line up of people killing it. When the server is full of 4x-5x and the people doing this are 6x, it's impossible. As much as I like this idea, it won't work.

    That's not true quests if not done around the level given they cannot be taken at a later level. I also find it very unlikely that beyond 70 the oracles are going to give enough exp. To make it worthwhile.

    My answer is in the form of a question.

    "Who will be first to actually care who buys a lvl 90 character for whatever reason, except the person buying it?"

    US$1000 gets you 3448 GA's.
    Assuming that every single time you you got an Oracle III (the highest level oracle), which gives 18k XP, you'd get 62 million XP, leaving you short about 34 million XP from 90 assuming you started off with no XP.

    It doesn't even get you 2/3 of the way to 90.


    And the odds of getting Oracle III from every single pack are next to none.

    Gimped characters are gimped.

    Think this through to it's logical conclusion. Their spiritual cultivation is gimped. Their skills are gimped because of this. They have to do their spiritual cultivations to get the next set, and if memory serves me right, aren't some of the SC quests level dependent? If so, then they have really screwed their characters, if not, they have gimped them for some time to come at the least, making them weaker than they otherwise would be if they had leveled manually.

    Also, 1 6x can be taken down by 4x's if there is enough of them. So you 'can' take them out if your willing to do so. If not... well that is your problem then.

    You can say that I can take them down, with a group, if I want. Think that through. Four of us to take down one level 6x? I'd be able to do it with two easy, but the point is they can come back and kill us. Oh, and on the new servers there are line ups to kill the boss in the first place. Even if I haul 10-15 people out there we'd still get routed. Not to mention the amount of heiro it'd waste, which defeats the purpose of the whole thing. Then we'd all be low levels with no money while they continue to level off this broken **** event.

    If you're are going to try and shoot down what I'm saying at least use some logic.

    People switched to East Coast servers recently

    They are used to higher characters which make you spend more money

    So let create a two week event to allow new servers to slam on the exp grind

    Now they are higher levels too, getting land, new skills etc, more charms, angels and what not

    Hence the cash shop is flowing again with two more servers to drive commerce

    Easy financial answers!!

    Now that your getting more cash, please FIX THE SERVERS!!!

    The disconnects are getting horrendous
