Can you power level? Or be power levelled?

Post by Replenish »

I wouldn’t mind someone clearing this up for me if you can please?

I remember reading before Europe was released that the maximum gap for party members was 5 i.e. if your level 15 then the highest member you can have in that party is 20. (Sorry no source)

Now I’m reading about people being 'power levelled' by level 80 characters from China.

So what is true? Is it possible or not?

I’m hoping that it isn’t :) I want people to work for those levels.

It is possible, but you will have to grind mobs that arnt much higher level than the powerlevelled char.

If you grind on mobs that are 20+ levels higher or so the powerlevelled char will get less xp than it would get from same-leveled mobs

hope this makes things clear :p

Yeah thanks that did clear it up.

So it wouldnt be that much better to be power leveled anyway, especially since you have to fight the mobs at your level you might as well just party up and enjoy yourself.

yeah, if you have some high lvl chinese kill mobs for you in a party you will level fastest on mobs 5-10 lvls higher than the powerlevelled char, but you will miss out on the fun, drops, quests and actual accomplishment of leveling it urself :)

still alot of people are doing it though.

yesterday I saw some lvl 70+ chinese level an entire 8 man party from the same guild >_>

Also what helps is the party monsters they added, if a high level can one shot a party monster than you get like 10x or something like that the exp of a normal monster.

hard to find a good spawn place too.

mm yeah but if you run around some with a party tracing you can find alot of pt mobs, not that hard... Ive seen 3-4 pt mobs in one spot often now..

(not encouraging people to powerlevel nor do it myself :p)

Well they don't just spawn in one place they spawn all over, and if your having troubles finding party monsters then invite more people into the party.

Power levelling is junk, maybe that will be the new major gripe since (fingers crossed) it looks like botting is slowly fading away.

"YOURE CHAR WAS POWERLEVELLED"

*topic locked*

On the spawn front I found last night that keeping my 8 man party in exactly the same spot was the best tactic as the party mobs just kept spawning on top of us.

guess youre right, i dno thought ppl in forums said it was capped at 50 or 60, maybe just for equipment though.

bad shit if we're lvl 80 with only 6th deg gear on, we already saw ksro warriors in 9d :(

I just found euro 76 neck >.< So euro gets 3rd tier 8th too. Also hotan npc's sell 1st tier 8th T_T. Meh I dunno .. would seem totally pointless making euro items and skills till 80 and then setting a cap - -!!

Now people will start to hate me :roll: .

Im powerleveling my guardian academy, including a char that it will be for me (I have it on the pc that I used to have my stall). Its absolutly true that one of the best parts of europe is grinding on party, so that Im doing is every day powerlevel them some levels and then grind on party when I got bored of killing crabs, chickens or insects. So basically on my guardian school we have half time powerlevel and half time manual grind (they are just lvl25 so Im not all day farming their chars :roll: ).

Now that I kill them all I can rest in peace ^^
