He everyone! I've been browsing the entire forums and I'm going to be giving this server a shot once my PC comes in. Long time player and I remember soloing my BLM off of pets. I've read somewhere before that the pets XP on here is off or different. Can someone confirm this? Is BLM solo like that okay to do on this server? |

There's a 25% reduction on pet exp, just like there's a 25% reduction on level cap areas such as pso'xja or riverine site a. It makes it not very profitable for parties, however for solo it's not terrible. |

I feel as though the pet exp has closer to a 75% reduction. It seems much worse than the level cap area reduction. |

What is everyone referring to when talking about "pets"? |

Some Goblins have Bats, etc. The pet monsters typically have drastically reduced HP, even for a monster of similar level (the pet is typically several levels below the Beastmaster monster). On retail, these pets gave full normal monster EXP, allowing for anyone who can sneakily kill them without the monster who summoned it seeing it to level rather quickly as long as many pets were around. Here, the EXP earned by killing these pets is drastically reduced. This was done by Nasomi a very long time ago to encourage party play, similar to his change to make Worms mobile rather than stationary. Now that we have a gorillian players, he made Worms stationary because he doesn't see soloing stationary worms as a threat to party formation anymore. I'm sure we'll see a similar reversal on pet mob experience in the future, too. |

Just curious: Did that pet XP change not impact TOaU zones? Why can a full party of 75's easily XP off of pets in TOAU zones and pull in great xp/hour? Is it because the pets are also lvl 99? |
