Why should I party with people?

[ladde]

Is there any bonues to gang up and form a party?

I understand that you can't solo all quests and mobs in the game.
But is there any benefits to form a party at just grinding? Do you get a exp.boost?
Or anything like that?

:)

The reason to party- Partying allows you to take on mobs higher lvl than you because you will have clerics healing you plus you will be able to take on multiple mobs, in addition to that they will die faster

so yes you should party

however apart from grinding, I do not think that there is any other bonuses

[Shadowic2]

There aren't any benefits other than being able to kill more mobs faster.
The exp actually is split between everyone, so you get less exp for killing a monster as a group, than you would solo.
But if you target monsters a bit higher leveled, it can make up for the exp split. And if you AoE party, you can get lots of exp, very quickly, depending on what you are AoE'ing. It's not much recommended to AoE things at your level, in a full party, with the exp split. But you don't want to AoE things too high, or else the party will get too overwhelmed.

[KireiYosei]

Its quicker, usually less boring, and can ultimately mean more exp.

[Takimi]

And providing it's a good group...


Some interesting things can occur...

Eh.. heh...

I was kidnapped yesterday by Fallen... my group was without a cleric... *smirk*

It was all good...

Another down part is that you have to split the drops you get from killing the mobs. If a party member picks up a rare item (say, Brave Ring of Rumen) it's all his, you can't do anything about it, whereas you're soloing and the Ring drops, someone else picks it up because you lag.........well, not too sure about that either, but you see my point.

u can meet new people lvl quicker(somtims) and get quest done faster and easier but if u like solo no1 will stop u from lvlin by urself and u also get a title if u are in 5 diffrnt partys in 1 hour i think

[Angelxx]

Hmm....I do believe you get bonus exp in parties. That with the faster kills makes it better exp overall.

Actually the exp is NOT split evenly between all party members. The exp gained is always, whether in a party or not, determined by your lvl relative to the mob's lvl. See as your lvl approaches the point where the mob's name starts to turn color to orange you will gain more exp until it starts changing color, and at that point you will lose exp until you only ever get one for killing that mob. In anycase, once people said there wasa an exp bonus for being in a party to also offset the lesser exp you get per kill, but I don't know, and never really cared.

I never said it was split evenly, but it is split non the less.
But yes, that is true that the exp fluctuates depending on your level and the monster of the level. A good thing to add for the creator of this thread to know.

There used to be an exp bonus where if you had someone of level 11 and below in your party, you would gain more exp than normal from monsters.Not sure if that still works or not.

[Ryokosha]

Weird, I'm pretty sure there was a 10% exp bonus per additional party member as well.

Also, leveling is faster because of the SKILLS! For example a Fighter has skill that reduces the defense of a monster, which will work for ALL party members (everyone will do more damage). This is much more effective than if you solo with your fighter. Clerics and Archers both can do nice damage if they team up with a Fighter. Plus the Cleric can heal which makes you die much less and you need less healing items as well. Mages can concentrate on damage and don't need to worry about being attack when there's a fighter. And if there's a cleric he can spam heal the mage so he / she feels safe.

So much benefits from partying if you ask me.

Oh and monster kills count for all. :-)

Quest drops don't and are still bugged on item share, though. :-/

[SeventhMagpie]

Partying is fun =D

[Maikos]

Don't forget the cleric party buffs: The more people you have in a party, the stronger they are.

(Defense, M. Defense, etc.)

[Ryokosha]

Yeah that too. They are many skills or special abilities of any class that is helpful for the whole party. Even if it's just the fact that archers can pull.

[mariloup]

You should party because there is a lot of wonderfull people on fiesta ! Also, grinding is a lot less boring when you can chat between kills.

Why solo on an online game ? The whole point of it is to meet people.

[Cherushi]

I can't remember where but from I know there's bonus for drop rate when in party x.x" The more people in party, the better drops or something like that ;x... x.x"


ehh I can't verify it sorry lol... X_X"


but well there are other non-technical benefits for partying D:!

fun, less boring, faster exp in a sense (depends actually), and less expensive ^^

[ToorimaKun]

#1: if you PT with people it alows more places for people to grind.
** that is becomeing a big problem in this game.. people are fighting over grinding spots **

#2: you levl faster.

how ever the one down side i think should be fixed is that you get alot less drops... i usally end up losing money when i PT with people.
** stones get VERY expensive. **

[Ryokosha]

You if people are on the same leveling spots as me and we fight over the monsters then I usually give them a free party invite. :-)
But if they refuse I'm angry lol especially when they KS me after that lol.

[ofbraindoiLack]

The more DD, the faster you'll plow through mobs.
You may get 500 exp on orcs, but, assuming they take 30 seconds to kill, compared with 300 exp per monster in Abyss, which could take the same 30 seconds to do a train of 15-20 monsters, you'll have much better experience rates. This estimate is a shot in the dark, but you get the idea.
On seq alloc, you should get way more drops than soloing.

Besides that partying, in general, is more productive, there's also the less boring and repetitive side, too. And you're making new friends who can greatly improve your Fiesta experience, assuming you're not antisocial <3;;

It's understandable, especially as a supportive class, that sometimes it gets tiresome dealing with possible party tensions that could render the grind completely useless.
