Actually hydra restored 16%. Will provide screenshots today.

I think bonus decrease comes after hydra restores previous level.

I am not certain, but doesn't it heal all HP on daily reset?

And if you, as a guild, defeated it the day before and summoned next head then it only heals.

But if you did not manage to defeat it (drop HP to 0%), then it heals and one head vanishes.

Of course it heals back to 100% at midnight.

Question: What the requirement / mechanic to return back to the previous head?

---

At the moment we fighting 7-head. We managed to get 43% and it became 100% at midnight.

With this we will switch to 8-head in 2-3 months.

rvm1975, you will have constant progress. Every two days you will upgrade your Hydra to 7-head.

actually I do not see any benefits in "content", 1h delay (really hate those things, why we should wait?)

also keep in mind that overall exp is decreased quite greatly (playa did it in past with scrapbook)

27-Feb 110kk
28-Feb 108kk
01-Mar 76kk
02-Mar 81kk
03-Mar 79kk
04-Mar 84kk

I am picking exp quests.

Well, to put things into perspective.

We earn less experience and more gold with each level.

We have already pass the point of gaining 1kk gold per 1 minute of mission time, I would say around level 430? 450?

Since you have a cap of 10kk gold per mission and you gain less and less XP, going full XP on missions gives less value.

They won't get rid of the cap, because that would greatly increase stat acquisition, and since we earn less XP Playa is more willing to give content that awards XP, like the guild pet.

In short: I wouldn't recommend investing into XP on missions.

If the current head is not defeated, you'll go back to one less at midnight.
