Return Of The Double EXP Campaign! (03/29/2013)

They finally decided to look outside of their box, and this is what they chose to take from their peers?

Oh yes let me re-activate for this....really SE.

F#ck ya! Meripo in Castle Oztroja(S)

Honestly, for people who took LONG breaks, and are gonna reactivate for SoA this isn't a bad idea. Why so negative folks? It's SOMETHING at least. They didn't have to give us any bonus weeks/weekends lol.

And we don't even have to buy Mountain Dew.

I guess I can get my alts to level 8 twice as fast in order to page burn them in zeruhn ._.

SEE I CAN BE POSITIVE

But then the book burns will go super fast! *gasp*!

if pages count as doubling! *exhale*

I'm almost positive book burns will be one of the exceptions.

this shoulda been a monthly event 9 years ago, as every other mmo ive played was doing this

If they wanted to do something for returning players trying to grind something up...

Well shouldn't most those people at least have 75s..

But if they wanted to, they'd make pages give capped exp instead of escalating, and they'd make skilling up, just for this short event, really really easy.

I don't think the books will be 2x, but each book mob will be, that's what I meant.

All in favor of finding a level 37 sync so we can go murder Colibri in East Ron [S] and then replace him 3 seconds later, say aye!

It's a nice gesture I suppose.

only good for dynamis.

Maybe good to lvl 1-10 with exp ring in 10minutes?
But then leeching exp via GoV until 30 and then abyssea (still faster than double exp)

The main reason of SE could be nerf FC-leech-pts in abyssea

looks like procrastinating on finishing my aug trials for cor af2+2 body , blu af2+2 body and drg af2+2 helm is payin off!

Well this will be for all the new people starting out or returning players coming back for the new expansion rather than the current player base.

This will finally help me get my pld from 28 to 30.

Just got this Email myself!

Time to get the rest your jobs to 30 and finish those Dynamis based exp trials!

Best part is I don't gotta blow money on Mountain Dew!

dynamis being part of this would be great but knowing square i wouldnt get to excited yet

So this double exp weekend would be completely useless for ppl who have everything capped i take it lol.

I would say it depends on what the 'Dedication effect being doubled' before saying leeching GoV will still be faster. Lets assume that since they didn't say 'duration' they mean the bonus from Dedication will also be doubled.

Lets say you have a PL and you're getting the max amount of EXP possible first. Starting at level 61 you get 800 EXP for killing something 15 levels above you. So 1600 experience as a base. Doubling the Dedication effect I assume will mean, instead of +100% (Decennial Ring) you will get +200%. So that will add another 3200 for that one kill lol. So 1 kill...4800 exp. Lets take it further and say that even if it's practically impossible that you got a Chain #5 from a monster that's 15 levels above you. Lets also say you had a Lucky 11 on Corsair's Roll. That'd be 1600 x 1.5 x 1.24. So, 2976 + 200%. So you would get 8928 exp for that single kill, nevermind the fact that the Decennial Ring would wear off before that.

But lets even go one step farther. Lets say you had a Decennial Ring, Kupofried Ring, AND an Allied Ring. You time the Chain so that you put your Allied Ring on for the last kill. That's 2976 + 300%. So, 11,904 exp. Even though that would never happen it was fun calculating the what if scenario.

More realistically lets say you have a Decennial Ring, a PL, Corsair's Roll, and you're fighting something that is 3 levels above you around level 40 or something. That's 200 x 2. 400 x 1.5 x 1.24. 744 + 200%. So that's 2232 for a Chain 5 which isn't THAT unrealistic at level 40. If you can make that chain in a short time that would be quite a lot of exp in what 6-8 minutes? But I mean, not everyone will have a PL, those rings, or Corsair's roll, just like not everyone has someone to leech GoV off of, but even so, a Chain 5 ending in 2232 exp seems faster to me.

get ya conquest points up son.

Hm. I wonder if this would make it faster to BRD pl someone through low levels, instead of book burning.

"""* Experience points earned by completing certain types of content or via the use of items will not be doubled."""

no, SE can't fool anyone. GoV and FoV will still be faster cause you gain stats boon + good amount of exp...

Then... Dynamis exp trials is the only stuff that matter... or you can try to make a party of 6ppl... grind like old times...

Ninja EDIT: it'll decrease the sick of leveling jobs to level 10, using rings will really matter though! lol

oh wait I'll gain 2 points of exp instead of 1! if you happen to know what i'm talking about lol

QFT

That Mamook screencap makes it look even more miserable. . . Full pink/perle, DANCING EDGE (da faq?) and honestly back at 75 that camp would be nothing short of awful.

TBH Double exp IN Campaign as a patch might've been more exciting ._.

RMT futures prices up sharply on the strength of higher than average earnings forecasts for the "AFK xp in Abyssea" division beginning in mid-February.

Dyna-Tav gonna be packed to the max.
