Them Differences.

[Rezuga]

The Devs have made the US version different and after playing around on the JP server for a bit the difference is showing.
Besides the obvious EXP difference, haven't even moved onto Kumaso Village and already lvl 18 from the side quests in Onigashima on the JP server.

They really did lower the frequency of bad repairs in the US version I'm getting a bad repair almost every 3rd time I repair a weapon on the JP server. I think the prices for smelting on the JP servers are higher to.

Also when we bring a stat up to 25 they require 4 points to lvl but on the JP server the increase happens at 22
