Currently the exp rate is 2/10th same as CBT after the increase. Many of us during the CBT tought that the low exp was there because there would be no rushing through the zones so more bug finding could be done and it would be CBT only. And we are in OBT and exp rate is same. Im pretty sure we will reach the point where we have to start grinding. My question is is the 2/10th exp of JP is going to be permanent ? Im sure there are people including me which are not fans of grinding 1 dungeon 20 times to get 1 level.

Calm down x3
The game seemed easy to level as it is if you actually try.

Besides, leveling up should be awarding. I don't mind the way the exp rate is and maybe thats because I have not play'd jp. But come on, This is not JP.

It's actually much higher, effectively, given that there are now so many EXP boosts available.

Better to pump one for the beginning to stay ahead of the curve so that fields don't get depleted, then coast on that buffer until you get to the harder areas (and then pop them like a madman). Make sure to have a target for where you can "release" otherwise you'll never burst use your EXP.

Though I'm wondering if I should just save mine for later since at the start, it's easily to level up

Is the experiece required to level up lower? Because i already saw a lv8 running around and i got to lvl 4 much quicker than i remember in CBT.

I was actually wondering about that as well. I dunno', it seemed somewhat faster than before. I saw a level 12 passed by me a bit earlier.
I guess it's just the x2 5000 exp box tho. I'll be looking into it later. I gotta' sleep for now lol.

Don't forget the incredible numbers of bots running around at level 8 and 9 one- and two-shotting everything in a perfect, continuous, blinking circle. Even at 2 xp per, that adds up when you're clearing one mob every other second.

As someone who went from lv.2 to lv.8 in a few seconds, yes, it's the 2 x 5000exp boxes.

Was actually hoping for better exp rates. *sigh*

Well, back to grinding.

That's not a very good outlook to have nowadays. Leveling is a process, a wall in which you must climb to see all the content. Mindlessly grinding the same dunegon several times over for 2 stat points per level is a very horrible award.

It's all about pacing. Too fast is never a good thing but too slow is just as bad. Most f2p games suffer badly in US release simply cause they gimp exp rates comparied to their original language counterparts.
