XP-losion - huge increase in hard/elite XP

Quote:
As to the Elite/Hard not being rewarding enough, we got this change coming soon(tm). I'm quoting from Lammania release notes:

* A new bonus has been created that awards players for running quests consecutively on hard and elite difficulties. This Bravery Bonus is a 5% bonus (10% bonus on Elite) that will "stack" up to five times, or until a player runs a quest on Normal difficulty.
* XP Rewards for first time completion on normal, hard, and elite are now 25%, 40% and 80% respectively.

So, yeah. Die harder!


Just eyeballing it, that should allow these guys to do a 36 hour third life TR.

Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

So shadow crypt farming on elite?

That would get you from level 12 to what, 15?

Mmmmm...zesty!

Though the wording slightly confuses me for the bravery bonus, as it could be interpreted as something that only works if you start on hard/elite, which would leave premium players at an XP disadvantage since we have to run normal to open up higher difficulties, etc.

I'm thinking a premium TR would run normal quests every three levels. At level 2, you would get rid of normal level 1, 2, and 3. You don't run another quest on normal until level 5, where you take care of normal quests at levels 4, 5, and 6 (maybe higher).

Hmm, interesting way to solve the problem. I'll have to fiddle with the math and see what works the best.

from what I've read so far you have to different quests to get the bonuses to stack so you can farm but the bonus is only for the first time kinda lame imho

If the past life feat is awesome, I might need to do 3.

I would assume that it would be something wand/scroll/magic item related. extra UMD and/or stacking bonus to heal scrolls anyone? Cheesy

Why speculate, we already know the passive pastlife bonus for Artificer from Lammania since it went back up:

You were an Artificer in a past life. You occasionally find yourself tinkering with your gear. When you use a rod, staff, or Wand, you have a 5% chance not to expend a charge. Each time you acquire this feat you gain a stacking +1 bonus to the Use Magic Device skill. This feat can be stacked up to three times.

Now the active one, no idea.

IT better not be, being a wf addict I would be forced to do three of them.  Oh how cruel that would be.

I figure that by the time this makes it live, I will have my Ranger/FvS Jeriana through this TR and into her second TR.  And there is always someone willing to open quests on elite and then drop party Smiley I keep Saaluta with everything open on elite, so I can do this for friends, guildies, and random strangers when needed Smiley

You never know, the active feat could be +2 repair and 4 clickies of reconstruct.
