Party Size Progression?

Hmm... so far, it seems best to solo until ~10, then party in groups of two? When are the bigger parties are feasible for experience?

This also leads into renkai/magic bursts, since they usually require more than one person?

My reasoning: using a weapon skill empties your TP bar completely and skills require 100% TP. Unless, you can use less than all your TP or gain it ridiculously fast, at least two people should be required. Supposedly a samurai can renkei alone, although I'm not sure how.

Pairs can tackle the Hills (Vomp Hill and Zegham Hill) between 5-10 just fine. Three could be okay but it'll be slower. Once you get to about 8-9 you can group with a bunch of others and kick around the Palborough Mines and the Highlands.

Besides renkei/magic burst fun, I'm also thinking about experience chaining (anyone doing that yet?). Efficiency is good

Also, Zerhun Mines are okay for solo low levels. Just watch out for amobea, they're aggro and hurt like hell. Very rare spawn, tho..

Anyway, experience chaining is easy. Just need to kill things of adequate challenge in quick succession, best I've been able to tell. Not really sure how much of a bonus it gives though.

yea, using the skill links makes battles less of a hack/slash. Since vinny is good w/ numbers he'll can be in charge of organizing what skill chains / bursts we use in a party!

That brings up an interesting question, is it better to be the raping sheep or the rapee?

I'll vote not being either

Nope, sounds like the sheep are the aggressors here. Fear.

You could change it to "raped sheep or rapist".

If that was what you were going for.
