Combat & hunting · Combat & huntingExperience hunting
Monster kills remain the basic way to gain experience for insights and later HP or MP conversion.
Practical guide
3 steps for this topic
- Set the required experience target, then shortlist areas by entry gate, monster reward, element, travel time, and useful drops.
- Build a safe first circuit with assigned pull, control, damage, healing, and loot roles and measure actual experience per unit of time.
- Move or add a timed bonus only after deaths, supply use, crowding, and travel no longer erase the theoretical reward advantage.
Key details
Keep these with the route
- Level penalty
- Creatures far below the character’s level can award sharply reduced experience, eventually falling to a token amount.
- Real rate
- Travel, respawn, deaths, repair, and group splitting determine effective experience more than one monster’s listed reward.
