Highest Chains?

My 311 was the first week or so of release, before everyone had the staging point. That really is the main problem nowadays though.

No, I have SS saved some where. 333 I think is where the chain was lost for whatever reason, and you were there at the time on ur warrior so ur highest is actually higher.

Since I have been back my highest is like 41 or something. I only merited that once since being back and it had like two bards, me whm, a drk, a warrior, and maybe a sam? Then also a chain 6 in qufim island, but I dont think that counts.

Anything over chain 50 and its all the same honestly... you proved you could go forever the only thing stopping u is boredom stupidity or competition.

qft; enjoy your grind fest nerds. btw Chain3490309403 @ Mamool N = easy. Chain100~200 on trolls near flans = skills.(my shitty bard only got 90ish.) Also Chain6~7 on pre ToAU INC or VT mobs w/o 2hrs is also impressive.
 
My highest chain was 145, in Caedarva Mire on my WHM. I was the only healer with Sanction and Noble's Tunic Refresh, and the only reason why it didn't go higher is because I died. The party continued to kill while I was weakened.

Oh thanks, lol. I must have forgotten that. Most of mine we get bored around 200, or the bard(s) need breaks.

Was that the party Sandria where we took turns taking bathroom breaks and still didn't lose chain?
 
I like meripos on SAM and RDM but I get so bored healing and spaming Gekko and Kasha T.T

lol. yah. hope my bard can pull half as well when I get it to 75.
 
I've only ever gotten into the mid 100's, but I don't merit much but the highest chain I've ever heard of is 500.
 
I still remember a while after NA launch one time I was communicating with a JP-gal-trying-to-learn-English (for some reason, there was a lot of Social shells on Titan that JP people made to invite NA members so they can practice their English, I was in one of them) and she was explaining the concept of 200+ chains.

It went something like:

JP Gal: Highest Chain?
Tanshui: 7, we're so good.
JP Gal: LOL go for 200+
Tanshui: You mean xp? Yeah, we're getting 200+ xp on most kills.
JP Gal: Nono 200+ Chain
Tanshui: LOL, I told you, we're getting 200+ xp.

Yeah, back then never thought getting that high of an xp chain was even possible : O

Nowadays it's like others have already said, 50+ and it's all the same. If I take a party to a camp and we can keep chain going through 3 full repop cycles then I know we can handle it - the chains just start breaking when people lose concentration / real life issues cut in / break time, etc. I have found that when you take any 6 competent people and make a balanced party you can always chain indefinitely.

My static likes to take a 5 minute break every 100-150 kills or so. So ironically, my highest 200-300+ chains came from PUGs.

The only one that I thought was an actual accomplishment was a 200+ chain where a guy hit 10 limit points + cap while he was there (started with a lot I guess) and went back to MH and we continued to kill about 30 mobs and kept chain alive with 5 people, and after he came back another group tried to camp-jack us and we kept chain alive by pulling very aggressively and adding more Wivres to the balance. It was fun. :)

I remember about a year ago me and few other got up to 456 at the bird camp. We never lost the chain from the start and all were players that i knew had good gear. only reason we stopped was because we were getting bored/tired. That was the greatest merit party i have even been in, it was one of those times when none of us had to speak we all knew what to do and acted like we were all being played by the same guy.

Also i remember back in the dunes where i got into an argument with a player that you could get chains higher then 5. I guess he thought that chain 5 was the cap and everything after that was just another chain 5. Good times.
 
My highest was around 55~ in the Mire with a pld and thf in the pt. We lost the chain cuz it took a couple seconds longer to kill a fly. Ive only gotten 30-40 @ bird camp, but that mire pt was my highest.

My highest was 127ish w/4 drgs a cor and a rdm on birds lower level.
 
ah good fun

best I had was a merit with 2 bards, whm <me>, nin, 2 war. We ran up over 200 mobs before the bards had to go. I have seen these chains in nyzul birds, and mamooks on puks and beastmen.
I think the issue with no chains over 5 is that you gain no ADDITIONAL exp bonus after chain 5. It just stays at that % no matter the chain amount.
 
I got around 200 once and my first merit on brd managed 2 chains @160+ before i ended it.
I cant be any more specific on that until i find a SS of the chains.
 
Highest chain for me has been ~111 on birds until one of the Wars d/c'd, then it was chain 30 till pt broke.

Pre-toau the aura weapons camp (RDM weaps) we consistently would get chain 34's...KRT the limit was 55 or so? Aura weapons you feasibly could get an unlimited chain (because it's circular), but normally our kills were too fast and ended up waiting on repops there.
