Experience is at five hundred and item drop is at one. That pairing is the whole design: levelling is free, and everything worth wearing is bought with a currency somebody farmed. Two of the numbers below act on how often a thing falls rather than on how much of it falls, and the word beside each rate says which.
Both together, so the skills you can afford keep up with the level that unlocked them. From 1 to 85 in about two hours down the guided trail, and a subclass from 40 to 80 in one evening.
ADENA BY ZONE
| Routine zones | x1 |
| Elite zones | x1,5 |
| War Zone | x2 |
The base rate is the same everywhere. What changes is whether somebody can walk up and kill you while you earn it, and that is the entire reason to leave a safe zone.
THE REST OF IT
| Vitality gain | x1 |
| Pet experience | x500 |
| Karma lost | x0.2 |
| PC Cafe | on, from 20 |
Vitality is not multiplied, so the rested bonus is worth what it was always worth. Karma leaves at a fifth of the retail speed, which makes a red name something you carry for a while rather than something you rinse off. PC Cafe points run at the retail rate from level 20, counted by the hour you are logged in.
| what | rate | why |
|---|---|---|
| The pace | ||
| Experience and SP | x500 | Five hundred on both. Getting to 85 is the start of the server, not the middle of it. |
| The economy | ||
| Adena | x500 amount | Five hundred times the amount, at the retail chance: adena falls as often as it always did, with a far bigger pile in it. The zone multiplies it again, x1, x1.5 or x2. |
| Item drop | x1 chance | Retail, untouched. Armour, jewels and blessed scrolls come from the Hunting Seal shop, so the drop table never has to be the thing that hands one person a set on a lucky night and nobody else anything for a month. |
| Spoil | x5 chance | The chance, five times over, with the stack left at retail. It is the crafting materials, and it is what gives a dwarf a job in a party. |
| Raid bosses | x3 | Three times, because raids are where the Epic Fragment comes from and the crafting behind the best gear needs it to arrive at a human pace. |
Left alone x1, exactly what retail gave
Untouched, and it is what stops epic jewels from being a commodity by the end of the first month. Queen Ant, Core and Orfen are daily and everybody knows when.
Untouched. Potions and shots still cost money, so a long fight still comes with a bill.
The retail party bonus with nothing on top. A party is worth forming for the reasons it always was.
