This game desperately needs more maps though. ESPECIALLY that they're upping the level cap to 89 this month (supposedly) its like.. x_X
Level cap raise in 2+ months (no definitive time, but beyond April is when we can expect anything.)

The same problem will happen with the level 80's, and we'll end up at this same, exact, discussion.

The level 80's will have nowhere to go except burning rock or flaming mine. Both give good experience no doubt, but not the amount needed to grind out 23 million and MORE experience, in a reasonable amount of time.

So you see, we end up in this same exact discussion. Except 50's will be 60's. 60's will be 70's. 40's will be 50's.

If it was beneficial to grind on something your own level, something extremely advantageous, than we wouldn't see lower levels in higher level maps. If the experience rates were better than grinding on something of a higher level, people would be more inclined to grind in their level-range.

That is what outspark, is, sort of aiming for here. Although they didn't implement the best solution possible, it is a start. By making monsters 30 levels above provide only 1 exp, it becomes more advantageous to grind on things of a lower level. Perhaps increased drop-rates?

I realize it may seem unfair that we were given the ability to enter Forest of Slumber and grind there as 40's with no "flak", but things change over time.

The real root of the problem here, really isn't the lack of maps. Its the lack of forseight on good experience rates.

The level 40's are being asked to gain 100K-800K exp, gaining only 100-500 a kill.

The level 50's are being asked to gain 900K-3M exp gaining only 400-1000 exp a kill.

The level 60's are being asked to gain 3.5M - 11M exp gaining only 1000-1600 exp a kill.

The level 70's are being asked to gain 12M - 23M exp gaining only 1000-2400 exp a kill.

Now, all around the rates are bad, which is why you see people trying to "get-in" on the exp-rates of higher levelled area's. But, you see, the level 70's have no-where to go. Double the exp required to gain, not doubled the rates....

Anyways back to the original point, we will see the exact same problem with level 80's when the cap raises, unless, they fine-tune our exp-rates.
