SM making exp go down?

Posts : 9 Join date : 2009-08-16

Why is it that sometimes when I use SM, my exp goes down, and sometimes stop completely? Is it a bug or intended to be that way? Either way, it makes SM fairly useless for leveling.

It happens when you to do much damage to a monster. Its a well known and old bug.
Just take off your ring, or get a weeker bow when you have SM.

Another way to look at it is like a speedometer. Once you pass the registered speed on it, your needle will point to the same place as it would as if you were driving quickly in reverse, resulting in negative experience. Given that this server has 800X exp anyway, sm is really not needed in order to achieve levels quickly. Whisper me on Kaiichi in game and I'll try to help you find a solution that will result in the maximum experience gain for your level.

Yeah I have encountered the same bug. A good way to counter it is NOT to use SDG's and level on monsters higher then you (like black named), try Dis City or Hell. And taking your ring off like Wolf said will help as well. If you want SDG's so badly then don't level with superman, but use accuracy or some other XP skill.

SRG gives more exp than SDG (If you're 1-hitting mobs in SM).. Unless you're just going over the limit, using SRG's would force you to train on higher mobs/lose exp sooner than another person who's using nothing.

If you're one-hitting mob, it doesn't (shouldn't) matter how high you hit (unless this server works differently, then it's just stupid), the amount of exp you earn from the mob should be the same. (Same exp if you hit a mob for 1kk damage or if you hit it for 100kk, exaggerated but you get my idea)

By putting SRG's instead of SDG's you're raising the amount of exp to get.. It's known that one gets neg exp when you go over a certain amount (about 2kkk) but if you go over that amount enough, you'll get positive exp again (over 4kkk).

this was happening for me in hell, i was hitting the mobs around 35k and with no SRG's or exp pots and my exp went down to 0%, but now i have no exp bar so its all good =O
