this is a tip most people know but it really need to be said for those that don't

The relation between having a party and leveling exp.

If you are in a party with the exp on shared and atleast 3 people leveling, you will get more exp than soloing Or with the party setting on individual And you will get this greater exp even with other party members who are leachers. Speaking on this if you have a party of nine with 6 leechers and 3 ppl leveling you will get more exp than soloing and even more than a party of only 3 n shared with all three leveling.

Why is this? = Easy, when you choose to have shared exp you still get the majority of you exp from every kill you make with about 1/4th of the exp going in full to each other member of the party. With more or less party memebrs you still only lose the same amount of exp and with at least one other person in the party leveling same level creatures you will be getting your lost exp right back, + you'll get an additional 1/4 exp for each other person leveling and this can add up to be quite a bit very fast. Also with 9 people in the party, everyone in the party will receive an exp bonus to their individual kills.

We all hate leachers but they can actually help us if they actually let us have a full party of 9 and we have atleast 2 other people leveling.

So to sum up = The best way to get exp is in a party on shared setting with 3 or more ppl leveling.

As long as atleast 3 or more ppl are leveling leechers do not hurt your party.

The amount of exp you lose to the party always stays the same but that full amount is always given to all the other party members (as if they had attacked a creature of that level).

In a shared party you ALWAYS get the fast majority of the exp from each of your own kills. But the small portions from all the party members sharing can stack to be giving you OVER three times the exp one would get soloing (this would be with 9 ppl all leveling).

If you have low level ppl in your party and they attack creatures that no longer give you exp, you will not get exp from the party sharing from these ppl.

Bonuses are added and distributed so long as all party members are on the same map, they can be located anywhere upon that map.

wow that is something new to me...

but the thought of leechers in town practicins skills and getting leveled up by me still suxs...for now atleast :)
