XP Bonus on Red99

[Aerar]

Is the xp bonus on Red99 more significant than P99?

I really want to play pvp but the top heavy player base and lower population has me worried.

If xp bonus is fairly high then getting to those high levels for fun pvp might not be that bad.

Please let me know

Red99 already had an xp bonus, although I dont recall the specifics. So the new XP bonus is on top of it.

Leveling is very quick unless you are a group dependent class.

Like I said earlier its double the rate of regular (so 200%) PLUS the 50% from the cancellation of EQMac, (unless Rogean's already made it 20%, but I think it gets boosted back to 50% the week of EQMacs cancellation on nov 18th)

[Aerar]

Wow so its 200 base, thats incredible

[Kergan]

Technically P99 has no exp bonus (aside from the current temporary one). Red, however, has a massive exp bonus somewhere around 150%. That is BEFORE the current 50% bonus.

Now is the time to level up bro.

[Colgate]

there's a 100% bonus that scales down to 0% at level 50

on top of that there's another 100% bonus i think

there's also currently a 50% bonus since eqmac is shutting down

[Aerar]

This seems very complicated, is this posted anywhere?

[Tavrin]

I dont think they archive the posts on the main page. But you're better off just logging in and leveling. In the time it would take you to search the archive, you'd already be lvl 10

[Aerar]

how is the pvp 40-60, is it really dominated by one group that farms end game content or is it pretty spread around?

[Colgate]

it's pretty spread around

You can get thru 45 in a few hrs with this xp bonus.

Tis true, I went from 34-47 in 3-4 hours with Tune messing with my PL. My monk with no gear went from 1-12 fairly easily so its pretty easy to get your footing and get started.

I have that shitty 1h sword from CoM too if you would like it if you start a War/Pal/Rng

Where does most of the pvp happen, CB, HK, Oasis, Kunark?

[runlvlzero]

Unrest. MM. Sro. KC. Com.

A lil bit around aviaks and paw if your a druid/wiz.

Kunark, its where all the top-end is. But PvP happens wherever theres exp, it just happens, not really cluttered in one space except fro the 45+ pvp i'd say is almost all in Kunark.

Except when Nihi changes their bind to Erudin... then it takes places there

1-50 in play hours if you are at least semi competent and have a partner?

[runlvlzero]

1-50 in play hours if you are at least semi competent and have a partner?

72hrs MAX on a competent class duo. Or probably solo on a necro, druid, enchanter. Shams suck to level. 1-34.

[Aerar]

that shocks me how everyone isnt max level then.

In that case I will see you all in a couple weeks at the top.

Hopefully ill be able to group with a few of you for some fun camps and gear

Wait till ya hit 52 :D

[Aerar]

well yes the bonus ends at 50 apparently, or is there some bonus still? And then the lvl 60s can gank you to kingdom come

[Lionfish Roundup]

at 50 exp takes a shit, that's why everyone isn't max, penalties are still in tho.

But jump in, exp goes fast, make a gnome mage and win at exp

just expect it to take a shit when you hit 50, theres loads of pvp, expect to be griefed also

[Pudge]

at level 1, you have 300% exp. at level 2 you have 298%, at level 3 296%, etc.. till you hit 50, where you are at 200%. from 50-60, it remains 200%.

remember, 100% is the normal rate on blue. so for levels 50-60, you are still leveling twice as fast as they would.
