We wanted to make Fiesta a more casual experience so those who simply do not have the time to commit to grinding can still keep up with their friends. Also note that 80+ is where Fiesta will begin to be "hard". The developer has decided to make the first 79 levels "easy" and the latter levels much more difficult. This is where we will begin to branch Fiesta off into more content and features."

Huh, so what do you guys think about that? o-o
With the new quest exp, it definately has become easier ...
Wonder what SKiNG meant by "hard" though o:

I wouldn't necessarily say its "easy"... They haven't done it. xD Even with the new quests, 4x still requires a lot of grinding...

I'm scared for levels 53-57. ;~;

Still massively easier than before though o-o

a level in late 7x used to take 1 or 2 days of non-stop grinding if you had the best possible conditions. Now it's what? A lvl a day going casual?

Which is what he was saying...

1~79 are the easy levels...

when all the capped hit lvl 8x it's going to be a ton harder I guess.

I wonder what they mean by harder though. If they mean grinding like it was pre-monster xp boost patch (which still wasn't that bad for the last tier of the game) or just normal grinding without spammable hihg-xp repeatable quests.

I think the grind right now depends on the quest ... a 1m exp reward for gathering 10 of xx isn't going to help me if xx doesn't ever drop =w=

Well we all suddenly got a massive quest EXP boost coz they implemented a lot more quest in one go...

so at lvl 65, i've got all the new quest from lvl 60-65 in one go, which probably gave me like 4.5 mil exp (about 65%)... but in reality, if those quests were already there, you'll probably get a quest that gives you 20% or so, and you've gotta grind the rest anyway

so i wouldnt say its significantly easier...

as with any game... as you get closer to the cap (watever the official cap may be) they make it harder to get to... Someone said in Runescape, it's easier to go from lvl 1 - 209 again than to go from 209 - 210... (assuming 210 was cap) Maybe that's wat he meant by harder... takes longer...

^Yeah probably. It took me 6 months to get to 60 and the second time around it took me 3 months to get there. o__o So by looking at the trend it should take me... 1.5 months to get a 3rd class to 60? Lol

I was looking through the BK Wiki and their 80+ quests give like 10mil exp. But if you think about it... that probably only adds up to less than 20%? Scary~

o.o Hm.. 10m exp quests at Lv80 might give around 40%+ ... Still happy for me.
