75 Bones XPFollow

Ok.. I'm not a Monk, nor have I participated in a KRT Monk party, consisting of MNK MNK MNK WHM RDM BRD. My friends and I are arguing over just how much EXP a KRT party can reasonably expect to gain in an hour?

I ask because I see a noticing trend in EXP/HR stories going up.. while I have to believe it's just exagerration.

Thank you!

Well, if everyone is smart and has good gear and few breaks (haven't had too many of these parties myself) those parties will usually net me 10k/hr. On average (factoring in AFK time and WC breaks) usually about 7-9k/hr. Hope that helps.

If you're limited to chain 10's or so, you're talking 7-8k an hour. If you're breaking 20's+, you're getting 10ish. I got 3 merits in the time it took my hedgehog pie to wear (3hr food) and we had to escape once because of repop aggro's.

We got to chain 30 in that session, I know people who have gotten 60+...

you're not going to get 10k/hour w/o a little luck (other parties at KRT?) and a stellar support cast. it's all about the BRD, RDM/whm, & WHM.

aside from spaming cures, they must:

- keep MNKs hasted at all times
- dispel instantly, paralyna, blindna, erase
- banish nuke Lemures

MNKs have to also be smart:

- know the yellow aggro range when roaming
- know when to save/use weapon skills
- bring eye drops + holy water to lighten the load on mages

KRT is fun... at the very least you should be getting 5k/hour =p

Thanks for all the replies!

Your numbers seem on par with what I've heard, and atleast I can dispell the .. wait for it ... 20k/hr Rumor circling through friends atm. I just can't stand the amount of overexaggeration that goes on.. it seems my XP parties are always just "alright" due to the supposedly rising standards on XP parties.

Bones Parties still seem just amazing in the amount of XP they pull, and I could only imagine the pace that everyone must be going at to achieve those kind of chains and XP!

Anything over 14k/hr should be regarded with skepticism.

LOL my friends have a hard time going back to other zones after KRT. :) Up to about 10k/hr sounds right, as the others have said.

Havent been in any KRT party's but i have made a few in Gustav, and in there was able to get bout 6k on average, but we were in safer of the camps and had to wait on mobs to respawn sometimes, usually got chain 6 on regular basis, Looking forward to getting in some KRT parties in the future.

If you start from the Lemures room near the Thousand Eyes and battle all the way to the Vrtra door without breaking the chain, you can earn about 8k. I'm pretty sure the chain will end at #39, and it takes roughly half an hour. You could then sneak up, return to the Lemures room and repeat for another 8k... so maybe 16k/hr on that route.

This is, of course, if all conditions are ideal: minimal use of Howling by Hatis, no unfortunate Sleepga, Ice Spikes get dispelled, etc. It's possible to pull it off.

The other possibility is the secret room loop. This one's a little tougher because killing too fast will delay repops and killing too slow breaks the chain. If you can time your kills as you do laps around the loop, you can theoretically create a neverending exp chain. Mobs have a spawn time of ~11 minutes, so if you're killing in good time then you can pull off somewhere around chain #55 in half an hour... maybe 11k there? Mind you, this is can be -extremely- strenuous. Treat yourself to a Dr. Pepper before engaging.

Normal PTs often camp in the secret room, though. Can't have that if you want to run laps with a MNK PT.

When we did that route earlier today, I think I got 8.5k~. I believe I was only 2k into merit, and got 350 into next merit by the time we got to vrtra room. That was done in 2 chains I think, if we had done it in 1 full chain probably near 9k xp for that route.

i do MNK KRT PT's all the time

its has gotten me 60+ Merits
(all of the below happened before the new exp rings, so these do not include them)

my avg exp per hour is around 9,500-10,000 an hour

my best in one night was doing 12,000 an hour
(this # however was only done once, MAYBE twice) its not exactly easy to do this amount with no ring on)(but everyone that night had the best of the best and it was just a lucky night, too bad i couldnt get more nights like that lol)

(oh speaking of exp rings, thats something that i have done, but i have never paid attn to the exp per hour, since this post was made i'll see if i can get my normal pt members and try it out and record the numbers to see what it comes up with, i'm sure it will be nice, but that only goes so far with 1k extra)

if i am able to get the people that fit the pt well or that i normally pt with
our avg chain is anywhere from 20-40

my Highest chain , my own personal record is Chain 45
yes i have screenshots, but i'll have to upload them to photo bucket or something like that, i'll work on it later since i'm in middle of exp on my other job

um i guess thats about it, i do consider myself a vetern to KRT

feel free to ask me any questions you have


thanks and Good Luck ^^
