Without doubt..hunting solo with pet means lower xp gain BUT it also means u
die less and thus
lose much less xp. Also i can hunt faster and more mobs (blue cons that is)
with a pet since i will have less downtime and
thus i can effectively bring the xp penalty to a minimal. PLUS if i hunt a
yellow/red conned mob solo with
pet..i get great xp and this definitely makes up for any xp loss incurred by
pet. I'd like to remind all
that this is all IMHO. Other magis to be or those out there of lower
lvls..always aim for yellow mob once
lvl 8 and above,..just make sure you know when to retreat and gate (before
pet is on it's last breath i might add).
Best wishes to everyone,
Zanderion Tempest
(likely surname) ps. any opinions? hehehe
why tempest? my deity is Karana the rain keeper...
