Leveling question. (Xp based)

tinytink2001

I read on the RF official boards that leveling in groups might give you the same ammount of xp as you would recieve as leveling solo. In other words if 8 people kill 1 monster for 1k xp the 8 people get 1k xp and the damage dealer gets 300xp bonus? If this is true grinding would be no big deal at all. 8 person speed leveling partys would be a must. Is this true, or does the monsters xp get devided between members?

Some one who has actualy played please reply.

Thanks in advance

Even if it were true, how would that help you with grinding? I really don't think any current mmorpg would slow down your xp intake when in a group. The xp intake is usually better when you're grouping, but what you're saying is that it's not. It's the same as if you were soloing. So if it's true, the results that you're expecting are backwards.

What I am saying is that grouping would be hugely benificial. More benificial than any other game I have ever played. I am wanting to know if each member of a group gets the monsters full xp value. Or if the value is split between the members of the group.

I think that the FAQ forum must have had a misprint. Other wise you would be able to level 8 times faster in an 8 person group than you would soloing.

Ususaly groups level faster, but not 8x.

You are misinterpreting his post. Let's take FFXI for an example. You kill a Tough mob solo and you get about 125 exp. If you kill a Tough mob with a group of 6, you get about 60 exp. Because it splits it among all members. But you obviously have a much better chance of killing that T, and killing it quickly, so it is worth it.

The OP is saying that (in the same situation in RFO), all of the 8 members would get 120 exp for killing the Tough mob. Which would mean you could kill very tough mobs fairly quick (ones you could never solo) and get the same exp as if you were soloing them. Make sense.

And to answer the question...I don't know, lol. I'm guessing you get pretty good exp from those mobs while in a PT, making it very smart to PT, but not so amazing that there is no grind.

Thanks for re-wording that for me.

Does anyone have any idea how the xp is split between a party?
