Group experience

On Lu4 the group experience bonus has been reworked.

When killing monsters in a group, characters receive bonus EXP, SP, and Vitality:

Players in a group	High Five	Lu4
2	110%	110%
3	120%	125%
4	130%	140%
5	140%	150%
6	150%	180%
7	200%	210%
8	210%	240%
9	220%	270%

Experience gained by a group compared to killing a monster solo

For example, let's assume the base experience for killing a monster is 1000. The experience gained will be divided among all group members.

Players in a group	With old bonuses	With new bonuses	Difference
2	1100 EXP	1100 EXP	0
3	1200 EXP	1250 EXP	+50
4	1300 EXP	1400 EXP	+100
5	1400 EXP	1500 EXP	+100
6	1500 EXP	1800 EXP	+300
7	2000 EXP	2100 EXP	+100
8	2100 EXP	2400 EXP	+300
9	2200 EXP	2700 EXP	+500

Thus, you receive the same amount of experience in a group of 5 to 9 players. Considering that a larger group kills monsters faster, a bigger party is the most efficient way to level up.

For detailed information about experience distribution among party members, read the article Experience and Penalties in a Group.

The drop penalty in a group is calculated based on the character who dealt the most damage.

Farming tips

Monsters

For efficient levelling, it is best to choose locations with monsters no lower than 5 levels below, and no higher than 4 levels above your character.

In cases where you cannot find a free spot with "white" monsters, you may farm "blue" monsters with small penalties. Going to a location with "red" monsters makes no sense, due to high penalties for both levelling and drop/spoil.

At each stage of the game, you will have a sufficient choice of locations, both regular and improved by our team, as well as completely new ones, to find a comfortable levelling spot with monsters of appropriate levels.

Bosses

On Lu4, it makes no sense to farm "red" and "blue" RBs, because in addition to the high difficulty of the farm, the drop will be reduced, up to its absence.

The current boss level window relative to the character is from "5 levels below" to "4 levels above".
