I want to know whenever I get a NA PT they always so closed minded to new areas to exp! I mean at lvl 28-32 everything thinks Yhaotor is best, I always get better exp, in less time with less deaths in areas such as E. Altep Desert and the new area in Bibiki Bay (Marine Dhamels are fun). Speaking of CoP, ppl are slow on the upkeep, at lvl 63-69 range Hobgoblins are great to exp on, with less crowding. But I always see JP there at their prime hour but no NA's at ours. Same with lvl 60-64 pts at Attohwa Chasm (although its a hell hole at night "Courses" *shiver* I am going to assume that mobs there are easier to hit then couerls at Labyrinth of Onzozo) I think it would be worth the damn effort to actually go to a "new" spot and try the mobs out. We all know areas like Valkrum, Crawler's Nest, and Boyada Tree are overcrowded. My best exp is not because JP are elite but because of location, they'll go to the most remote spots just to be alone and get great exp on IT+ mobs at just the right lvl to kill and sustain chain 5 without slowdown (Yhaotor Jungle Worker Crawler's lvl 36-38 PT comes to mind).
Pick up the pace NA's! New areas to exp in CoP!

attochasm,
let me give my experiences there.
i went with a 64 PT EXP was decent around 4k a hr. No one complained.
but... Mr.Tiamat decided to arrgo our thf and rape the whole PT leaving the whm to HP and come back and raise us...
its a risk to take when EXPing in Attochasmm, but not as crowded as the "norm" NA places to lvl.
o.. and you EXP off Antilion they AOE blind, fustrating because it is spamed and most WS... 60-64 require multi-hit WS. also.. that Posion 10 HP a tick, if your familiar with Prom. its like those, can be poisonaed.
they also have a TP attack which binds you, can be removed with erase.
Timat is scary :shock:

Exp'n off of the gobs in bibiki at 63 is a waste of time, imo. The fights are long and draining and generally not worth the xp unless you can get one to suicide bomb.
Different tiers of gobs
There are different tiers of hobgoblins to exp on in Bibiki Bay. The tougher ones being further south naturally. My 66 samurai coned VT to the first gobs i saw (ones getting chewed by the 63-64 pt) and further down a gob a lvl 68-69 PT was beating down con IT++

Yea I do not know how many NAs I have met that have said, "I have not visited an expansion area". Wow you guys are boring as shit and need to stop with t he cookie cutter tactics. I think I have partied in crawlers nest 6-7 times ever in an exp party. Spent all my time in Altep and Altep related areas.

honestly, the whole point of getting the exp is for the new stuff/areas...wtf would u get the exp if your not going to use it. my plan is to finally finish the first set of the prom missions to try to organize lving pt for lufaise meadows. id also like to find out what lvl the mobs on oldtown movopolis are to try to lvl there....for those that have the exp pack and dont go to the new areas....shit or get off the damn pot

I tried leveling in Uleugrand Range(sp) for PT lvl 73-74. I wanted to try other places of leveling besides King's Ranperre Tomb, Ro'Maeve and Sky, because sometimes those places are overcrowded.
The results were..
1. On the way to the camp (very far), there are many true sight mob (con DC to Tough. New breed of monster) and a lot of holes to fall into. Thus pt members could get aggro if they dont pay attention while walking and could possibly get lost if they accidently drop into the hole.
2. The mobs that we exp on have crazy abilities
Kindred <insert job> (demon) have condemnation(Demon doing like Savage Blade ws) and they hit really fast. The Byrontour(sp) can do Doom so its a trouble for the mages to spam cursna. Personally I bring my own stack of Holy Water in case of the mages cursna failed to remove the status effect. Eyes like to do Firaga III hehehe (reminds me of Hakutaku)
3. Overall exp was still good (I still like King's Tomb, easy kill thus exp per/hr is good), although we had a few death in the pt because of Firaga III and Condemnation (I died like 3 times but not a big deal since we have a whm)
4. The mobs there conned VT to IT to a level 75(I was exploring with a lvl 75 friend). At first I thought it would give great exp but it was decent.
Conclusion
I hate that place lol. I was trying to experiment on a new place to lvl since I have seen pts exping there. I would like to apologize to the pt members that was on my pt that day for wasting their time.(Later on we moved to King Ranperre Tomb)
Sorry if my english is bad, (not my 1st language) but I would just like to express my opinion on this topic

Hey Halflife, good to see you in the forums. 
Only place I've seen worth exping from the expansion is Bibiki on the gobs. I love those guys 68-73. So many of them blow themselves up and give you free chain 5 or 6s. As long as you have someone good at keeping barfira up they are relatively safe exp. The occasional big bomb that kills a thf isn't unheard of, but its more than made up for in good exp.
