The 70+ EB simply put sucks. And I didn't even take the fact the auto route is bugged into consideration. For comparison: I got 65k a for a 70+ EB mob at lv73. A 60+ mob for which the exp is capped at 69 gives me 115k. WTF?

Even without the item to spawn extra level 60 mobs we killed more than of the 70 ones, since they die faster and even without item spawn faster than the 70 ones. So the 60 event gives like 3 times the exp. Also, 60 event gives 50 wineglasses (they're not that needed but hey it's still a nice extra).

So in other words 70 event is completely useless. It's way better to go to the 60 event, perhaps take some lvl 60s with you to spawn extra mobs and after that go do the event in SoO. Now am I the only one who thinks something is wrong here?

Also, why was the EB exp reduced like hell? We used to get more exp than we did now while we had 3x on. When did this happen? And mainly why? At this rate the grind to get EB even started will give more exp than EB itself and since we all know how horrid the exp from grinding here is I think that says a lot about EB exp

If the XP reduction is only from killing the mobs, it's probably because we lost the 2x Mob XP so the 60+ mob which gave 115k is likely now only 63k.

No, EB awards QUEST exp for every monster killed. The little exp the monsters themselves give is completely separate.

And btw, there was no exp reduction - the quests give the same exp as they always did - about 15 million for 200 mobs in the SoO spawn site, and about 11 million for 100 mobs in the SJ lake spawn site. Though ofc the final rewards are tripled, hence I ended up getting about 85 million exp from the whole thing.

Hmm, we used to get way more exp than that. We easily got 15%, which was at least 50mil exp just before cap. At least that's the amount of exp I remember getting from EB.

Just before cap you had 3x exp on, which means you could get 60+ million from SoO and 35-40+ from SJ... the exp you get varies greatly depending on how fast your party is each week, how much other parties are being an obstacle etc, and with 3x exp on you've got even bigger differences...


There is absolutely no way you could get that before the 3x exp went on. You might have gotten up to around 20 million exp from SoO and maybe up to 15 million from SJ, but 50 million is just impossible. 50 million might have been possible IN TOTAL and IF you had exp aid on...

EB 70 is garbage whoever designed it was smoking some strong ****.

at least u found where to kill them, i was bugged and never killed a single thing, waste of time and effort. from what ive heard so far, glad i didnt find where to go.

my problem is the lvl 60 area for eb is if u get the 1st hit, u get the kill no matter if u hit it again or not. Who cam up with this, the lvl 50 eb is dps gets the kill. We have hundreds on the server, pk not available and 1st hit gets the kill???? Really? Whats the point of putting in lvl 3 ragefires? lvl 3 Crit damage gems? buying gear that adds to your crit rate? oh nothing, dps means nothing once you hit lvl 60 and go to sleeping jungle.

A prot. was spamming his aggro button and once he grabbed the aggro the kill was his, he never attacked anything and got all the kills. WTH, really, if that is how FW is going to make the game, no point in gearing/playing at all.

Hum this week I got around 48kk + 33kk + 15kk fro EB 50/60/70 (+ 50 pages and stuff) but yes lvl 70 EB is crap, at least at our level, it might be worth it at higher levels

That is what I was thinking o.o. When cap was raised from 60, everyone rushed to do the 60+ EB only to find that the exp was terrible there (for a bunch of low 60's).. but as time wore on, everyone gained levels and were able to burn down the mobs in a way that made SJ EB more viable. I am thinking that the 70+ EB may be similar and will get better at higher levels.

I'm still a bit confused as to why it is made so that the exp from SJ is less than the exp at SoO, though. I understand the differences in spawn methods, of course, but it seems the exp from SJ is just lacking in comparison. If the 70+ EB has a worse exp drop, even with a party of 78+, I feel like the game is just promoting high level parties to bully lower level ones for spots.
