EXP quests gone?

[sheen20]

I noticed the EXP quests are gone after this update, are there any good ways to level apart from EQs now? AQs don't seem like a good choice anymore...

[arokidaaron]

Those quests will always be replaced whenever a new limited quest pops up.

[sheen20]

Darn I see, looks like there are no good ways to level then :( hope the next one won't yield so less EXP

[arokidaaron]

AQ would probably your best bet till the even ends and those exp quests come back, which is probably around august.

or 4 man urban exit burst >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> exp quests anyway

[LordKaiser]

Maybe a new one will be added once the Summer Lobby comes.

What exactly is 4 man urban exist burst...? Could you please clarify? thanks :)

You build up and get a PSE burst near the exits of Area 1 and 2 of Ubran AQ w/ a 4 man party (No NPCs). Then as the burst begins/continues, you start building toward a Crossburst and watch EXp shoot up. The only place enemies will spawn near exits are right near them (Best place to do Bursts). Enemies are all clustered and makes for an excellent XP farming strat,

Exactly as the name suggests, sorta. 4 man Urban VHAQ Burst hunts.

Pretty much THE fastest way to level, outside of bonus quests, is 4 man Urban VHAQs, specifically Bursts. When you get a burst it is customary to limit the locations the enemies to spawn to maximize killing efficiency. Exits Bursts are just that get a burst and then camp near the exit limits the spawning of mobs to two spots very close to each other.

You need ranged classes to kill them at spawn so the mobs keep on spawning, forcing cross bursts. Using ranged attacks ensures the mobs will only spawn at the spawn points closest to the exit. If you move to the actual spawn points (i.e., you are melee) you might trigger the spawns on the other grids, which means slower kills. You can have up to 20+ minutes of PSE bursts with this.

Basically you build PSE until 7 then force the burst to start on an exit square.

The catch about the strat is that you need Forces, a specific Photon Blast, and other players to make it work effectively, You're not going to PUG for Exit Burst, unfortunately.

even better is popple using either popple splode (basically illfoie with larger aoe) or territory (a bit harder to work with but theoretically still the best)

splode is certainly the easier one to work with.. requirements though is a high level popple (enough to max personality.. dont need to do 101-120) and prolly 30-50 element (10 can work with stance but a bit weak on say hu main) also need the rose skewer tact so you can use popple on main class.. still easier to work with than fo sub tho

your main class/fo or su (highly recommend su with popple)

I really hope that the LQ's come back after August 9th and we get +100% exp/RDR from this ARKS Battle Chronicle.

[sheen20]

Ahh I see thanks everyone! I wonder if it works with a two person party...Also how are PSE bursts triggered? Isn't it completely random? And how do you sustain it?

I was thinking "oh well, I'll just do the LQ before LvlQ comes back...
Then realized I don't even get a daily featured gift from the LQ...
FUCK YOU SEGA

Basically, kill a lot of enemies fast enough to trigger PSE. Exit Bursts are forcefully triggered by spawning a ton of enemies on the map, then bunching them up, then killing them all at the same time.

It won't work with two people because the number of spawns in an AQ scale to the number of human players in the party. Four people are required to get the number of enemies needed for the trigger, as well as Burst upkeep.

[sheen20]

I see, thanks! It's gotta be difficult to get random people to join us then...Also I was wondering, since monsters are scattered across the map and typically won't follow you for a very long distance, how do you bunch them up and kill at the same time? Also which AQ is better, very hard or super hard? I don't seem to have enough capsules, also I'm not sure how can I get capsule D without buying them. Do other AQ maps work well wth this?

You kinda have to make them spawn, then lead them around while spawning more enemies.

VHAQ at 50 Risk is better because it's enough to get you lots of boosted targets without making them too tanky. Lv. 70 mobs are juuuuuust squishy enough for even a suboptimal Force to mow down waves of them.

If you want D Caps, just play any AQ that calls for F caps.

[sheen20]

Thanks a lot! Thing is, what if I don't have any of the D E F caps to begin with? Also does every member have to pay the caps? Or is it a single payment per quest? And how many caps do I need to raise the risk to 50? thanks!

[ralf542]

You go and farm VHAQ and turn in 10 a, b or c for 1 d, e or f. Or you buy it for 70000 meseta/piece, you need 10 just to enter SHAQ with +0 risk. You can buy a limited amount/week for battle Coins and i think for Casino Coins too.

Afaik, every member needs to pay.

[sheen20]

I see, thanks a lot everyone!

I have a question too. Why are the Noble Power and Elegant Power prices so high if we only level ranged classes, especially Fo and Su..
I mean whenever someone asks how to level up fast, everyone says VHAQ +50 risk exit burst with Fo. Now i'm not going to level Force or Summoner just because it's fast when let's say i would like to level Hu, Br or Fi, or are you supposed to subclass your Lv1 Fo/Su for Hunter and exit burst?

The strat works by subbing FO or SU, which will sound incredibly counterintuitive at first glance.
