Group. More fun. Or duo - at least the 1/2 XP you're not getting is going to someone else rather than being lost.

And as far as mana efficient... it's not REAGENT efficient. Unless you're independently wealthy at 22, a gem per kill is damned expensive.

the OT merbs i've been killing drop upward of 5 gold each, tigers drop fangs that sell for 8 or 9 gold, cactus people drop stackable sap that sells for over 1 gold each, the lil chickens drop beaks that sell for 7 or 8 gold each..

1 stack of malachite is 1 platinum and change iirc, each time i had to gate back and vendor i pulled in at least 20pp and that is more than enough to cover a full bag of malachite.

This. Reclaiming is not expensive at all.

And duoing is by far the most superior method for levelling. Especially with another Mage and both of you have fire pets. The pets will juggle agro between eachother and your only responsibility is nuking and resummoning a pet upon pet death.

Why would you reclaim in a duo? Pet's don't eat XP in groups.

(Edit - I misread your message; I see what you're saying. Ignore that last sentence.)

After testing quite a bit, I am persuaded that they do but following an odd formula:
1- Take the pet that did most damage
2- Take the total damage done by the players
3- Ignore the second pet and the DS
If 2>1, you get full xp otherwise the pet eat some xp.

Didn't mean to type it like that. Soloing you would reclaim when possible.

Thanks everyone for all the solid information. I will put it to good use, hopefully I can find a good duo partner to hang with. I was out of town so I was unable to respond to this thread but I really appreciate all the replies. Thank you!

Halius, how has the leveling been going?
