How do I stop losing EXP?

Sure sounds like a troll.

In case it's not:
You only stop losing experience if you buy Guardian Scrolls. They can be gotten from the Boutique, or you can exchange Tokens of Luck for them at any PW Boutique Agent. Every time you die, one Guardian Scroll is used and you lose no experience nor can drop any items.

As for Hyper Stones:
You do not need them at that level. In case you do however want to get them, you can buy them from the Boutique or exchange Tokens of Luck for them at any PW Boutique Agent.

You can buy Tokens of Luck from players, or you can get some of them from Sunshine Pack, Year of the Tiger Pack or the Lucky Coral, items which are sold in the Boutique or which you can buy from the players.

Okay, as you can see from my avatar, my Cleric is lvl 17. Everytime I die, I lose 3000 EXP or so and this makes it hard for me to level up. I've finished all the level 17 (and those below it) quests and all I have left are the Mongoose King, Ursog Cheif and Solo Missions. (and I have a feeling I'll die every three monsters I kill... >_>)

Someone help meeeee...?

And, where can I get Hyper EXP stones? I need them!

I feel for you.

I have this very VERY bad habit of spotting a new boss/mob and .. wondering to myself 'Hummm wonder if i can kill them yet'... Usually me dying means.. no.

I'd recommend you try to find a melee type to party with, and actually at your level this is a good idea. The ones you like, you Friend and later on, you will see how this benefits you all.

Before you attack, give yourself a few puffs of heal so they stack, this might help a tiny bit.

And don't worry, you will get strong - and hey, thank you for coming here to ask instead of allowing it to frustrate you.

If you have played it before . . why are you died a lot ? b:surrender
If you not dying at all (or just once or twice) the quest is actually over flowing and some quest will still left unfinished when reaching lv 20 where we got tons new quest at once

That's because I was lvl 15 at that time. And, without doing any quests, I don't think I can gain much EXP... unless I go help players kill the Venomancer Siren and the Seduced Elf. b:sad

Eh . . very weird didn't you should have plenty quest to reach lv 20.
Well expect if you keep dying. Check my earlier post again and :

1. Make sure you have those grinding skills at highest lv (at last for now) But keep them on the same lv. If not you have to run a bit after cast plume shot because cyclone cast range is longer or the opposite. So keep them at same lv instead of leveling one of them first.
(not really a problem though to lv cyclone first, but usually plume already available first to lv)

2. Learn to calculate the chances of dying and how many you can take. Like for example after do plume cyclone combo to some mobs, you realize before died the mob always able to deal two or more hits to you. On these case you have two options :
- Kite or running while casting the spell to keep your range with them
- Prepare IH or ironheart before start getting hit so IH heal your wound
(usually a good choice vs ranged mobs)

3. Always check find quest on quest list
4. Try to not died a lot b:chuckle

It will be a lot frustating later if you don't master those first. b:chuckle

Make sure your equipment is up to date - at level 17, you should be wearing mostly level 3 gear. You'll kill quicker, and survive hits better, with better gear.

Ironheart blessing and plume shot alternated give clerics much more survivability against physical attacks than, say, wizards.

right

Your natural prey as a cleric are mobs that do magical damage... especially those doing it over time. The girls by the sentry on Vibrant Cliffs use a poison attack (wood damage over time) if I remember right, so go grind on those if you are truly out of quests. The moist blobs in the same area are slow, and you should be able to kill them before they reach you if you want some variety. It doesn't take much grinding at that level to level... so go out there and level (and find ways to fight without dying so much. Discovery of new tactics is part of the fun of a game.)

I don't think hunting poison mobs is good idea at that lv
Especially since it stack + cleric didn't have purify until lv 29

And from what i see on her post, she didn't died just because the mob killed her but also because she didn't notice her hp too or maybe not patient enough . . b:surrender

Yeah, playing a "squishy" char --- a really squishy one, not one that has skills to unsquishy them like Venomancers --- is all about knowing/learning what you can or rather cannot do. And learning about the monster-AI --- how they "think".

For example, attacking a monster will also alert nearby monsters --- you don't usually want this. So, pick out the lonelies, even if it means scouting the area a bit. Find a place where monsters are spread thin, stay at the edge of an area. Get a feel for the "safe" range, and get used to watching your surroundings. 360 degree.

In Perfect World, monsters have a few seconds delay when they respawn, so if a monster respawns close to you, run. In accordance with what I said about attacks and nearby monsters, get used to not only thinking about yourself when you run --- think about where the monster you've been attacking will run to as well.

Don't be afraid to run. If things get out of hand, get out as soon as you notice things going wrong. People usually don't get killed by running too early, they just loose time. People DO get killed by running too late, and they loose time and experience. Being a hero usually means you're dead, so don't strive for that title.

If you still have hitpoints, a couple ranged hits before you get out of range won't kill you. You're an elf even --- summon your wings and escape away and UP. Unless there are evil birds nearby, of course.

Don't fight when you're damaged. Heal yourself first, or medidate to recharge health and mana. Over time you might be able to take more than one monster before recharging, based on KNOWING they'll not take more than some amount of HP. Just because a monster type you haven't dealt with before managed to miss you three times doesn't mean they're all clumsy like that. Get used first, then get bold if you really need to.

Get help for bosses. Yes, this includes the small bosses that you get for some early quests. They might be soloable, but they might still require experience and gear to do it. Play unfair, rally the troops and bully the boss. Or ask someone with those stylish armors and glowing weapons who happens to be nearby.

Etc. etc. etc...

omg, i never make fun of a person for asking a question but i kinda loled on this one.

1st you re so low lvl that the exp you lose is VERY easy to get back..its nothing..

2nd as this game s not like mario or pac man, you dont have lives or the game is over.. so there has to be an incentive to make you try not to die.

3rd dont die. its not so hard. but you have to be really bad at this to die every 3 mobs. which means there are some stuff that you havent discovered yet, that are actually essencial. the game is not THAT hard to play. if nothing works there s the option of running away.

and lastly,

this game has a learning period like every game and you re still in the learning period. you ll do the serious work for leveling and playing after your bh s starts, you ll get exp from bh s, fb s, craz stone... and grinding will also start to look more attractive as you ll start to make good money from drops.. which you cant, at low lvls. dont worry about exp loss at lvl 17, you ll laugh at this post when you ll get to high lvls..

hey. I have read your thread, and am more than willing to offer a hand. I am also a cleric, understand the difficulties of leveling. I'm better at showing along with explaining, so if you need any help for any thing, I'm Excelsis_ on heavens tear server. Hope to hear from you!

Clerics, especially the pure mag build, is a real annoyance to level that early on, but do try to get into the habit of finding a safe area to fight from (no wandering aggro mobs), and alternate between Cyclone (does magical dmg as well as slows mob down), Plume Shot (does physical dmg) and Iron heart (a quick heal over time might just mean the difference between making it and dying) plus tossing up a Plume shell helps immensely.

Just take your time, exping on wood type mobs are actually easier since clerics deal metal dmg so wood mobs will die sooner, only down side is they tend to toss poison at you, so to compensate, toss Ironheart more often to overcome the poison's effect (watch that mp). another alternative is try killing flying mobs. Flying and water mobs tend to give slightly more exp, and if you have to escape... just drop to the ground (watch what's below 1st though).

And since clerics have higher magic resist, I'd say try to fight magic mobs, they'll try to cast at a distance, check how much dmg you're taking, and use plume shot (since magic mobs tend to be weak to physical dmg) and alternate with IH cures as needed. Try to find a nice easy combo that works reliably for you and rest often. No need to rush through mobs, they'll still be there. it does get alot easier once you get to like... 44 for Wield Thunder!

This is indeed an easy fix. Stop dying! If you are unconfident in your abilities to survive a hit or two from mobs around your level, cast an Iron Heart before each mob.
Grinding as a cleric can be tricky but maybe later on you'll find that your heals and buffs make things quite simple b:chuckle

Umm dont die? that will make u not lose EXP lmao

OH! aso avoid mobs with the increased hp special add-on! increased speed mobs can cause trouble as well!!
