XP vs Gold: Level 600 Cap

[Strider]

Now that the Level Cap has been raised from 500 to 600 ...

Does the argument about XP vs Gold still stand?

Or does this change the argument slightly?

[Wasi]

let me think.

We have the levelcap at 394 ... from here the xp go down slowly.

This hasn't been touched only the max level has been raised.

I hope the xp don't go down to zero while we level upto 600 because of the downgrade per level.

For me the change will still be to go for gold on lvl 394.

it does make you wonder how the changes will be for exp now that they raised the cap. They will need to do so if they keep lowering how much exp you get a day. but also realize that as exp drops gold goes up.

As for me I will always go exp.

Actually 10kk cap on gold per quest makes the things quite different.

For example lvl 400 gains approximately more 250% of gold choosing the gold quests (10 min quest: gold is 8kk, exp is 3kk). At lvl 480 difference is only 20% (10 min quest: gold is 10kk, exp is 8kk).

Issue is related to long quests like 10 minutes and 7.5 minutes. On low ones gold quests still bring 100-150% more gold.

1) So at some level there will be no big advantage between gold and exp quests in terms of gold acquired i.e. all quests will be capped for 10kk

2) I don't see the aim of playing for gold. For example once you clear all except shadow esteros why do you need sacrifice levels for attributes? For pvp ? My 487 toon with 72k int and 40k hp still losing to 443 archer with 47k dex and 19k hp

Got some year metrics. Values saved at end of month. Raised 18k total INT + CON



I am used exp priority and switched at may to time/exp priority.

Also starting from May doing 20 spins roughly 15 days per month. No gold spending in fortress attack. 3kk per try too much

Well… I need to update what I said about doing exp only I have switched to gold helping my stats out a lot and not much difference in leveling.
