I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but what's with the enemy experience going higher and higher on the MAG S rank mission? It goes up every run or so. Why does that happen?

If you're more than 30 levels below monsters in a mission, you receive an EXP penalty. Since you're leveling up by doing runs, the EXP Penalty will slowly wear off, giving you a little more EXP every time you level up, until you hit around Lv110, where the penalty will have completely worn off.

Wow, I've been playing this game for months. This the first I've heard of this. I've never seen this on PSOW or PSUpedia.

UrikoBB3 is correct, the reason you don't see much info about the exp penalty is it seems only event missions have a larger than 30 lvl min requirement vs monster lvls.

It's true. If you're more than 30 levels below the monster level you won't get the full EXP. You might even get more EXP from A-rank than S-rank if you're too low!

It's harder to tell on other missions because most of them don't have as large of a range between requirement and enemy level. I first noticed this during The Winter Festival.

30 levels? I thought it was 20. That clears that up http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I did a quick test on this last night.
Asked my friend who was level 80 to kill the first spawn of boomas in mag S. He did and said they gave 517 exp.
Then I took my lv 110 character, killed boomas, and received 1035 exp apiece.

So yeah. If you walk into mag S at level 80, you're only going to get half the normal exp at best.

You may as well just stick to doing A rank until you hit about 95 or so where the time/exp rate should be worth the difference.

I started S runs at 84 and it was still faster than A.

true but then you also wont have a shot at the S rank drops that drop in S. so it comes down to do you want to level faster? or would you rather have a chance at rares at the cost of some leveling speed?
