BWP FTG Consumption for levelling 80-90 really 140 FTG?

[Yworo]

I've come to the point of level 80 + levelling, and may I ask, is it really intended to be 140FTG PER RUN?
Also, why do they cost so much FTG but still give almost only ~30% PER RUN? Does levelling 80+ really take days now?

First may I ask if you're using or are receiving any EXP Bonuses (Max LVL/ Guild Costume/Combined Skill) cause if none then you're runs will be indeed slow in terms of exp rewards.

Second, the changes in FTG is mainly due to the fact (as far as I can tell) that Abyss 95 dungeons now reap more gold per run especially when doing them solo and Gold Goblins are now relevant and appear more frequently, I'm not entirely sure why ED would increase lower level dungeons though since that mainly only applies to the Abyss ones. (On a side note in order to compensate the lower runs ED has increased EXP rewards the moment you hit 90 in Merca's Heart as shown below, haven't tested yet how large the increase is though)


In short, yes they're now 140 FTG per run and we can't do anything about it, you'll just have to make use of FTG sources such as hot springs/likes/FTG Potions if you're willing and do the runs in a party preferably with a returned hero.

Yep the like increase now only yields +1 run, the hotsprings is still pretty much the same giving 500 FTG on each enter, don't really have any complaints with the new ftg since it's somewhat understandable, the only personal downside though is my weekly runs is largely smaller and I'm now unable to do two complete Beggar's Box Runs of different dungeons.

[Mr.Shovels]

that is why they might change the missions available on beggar's box soon enough, it maybe even included in the june patch since they already added the new daily and weekly tasks rewards and tweaked it a bit

[Ozm40]

They might, if they follow on DNK updates then they might change the requirement for opening into Daily Tasks instead of dungeon runs.

[Mr.Shovels]

Since the FTG have been revamped from 700 to 1500, they also have increased the FTG consumption on each Dungeon runs compared from before (it is literally just decreasing the runs you can do each run with the amount of FTG they have given) this is most likely to reduce the amount of Runs you can do on Abyss dungeons since they have increased the capacity for Gold drops, also to promote the use of their new Full FTG potions from which refills your FTG to 1500 in 1 use, this potion is also has no limitations to use than regular FTG potions you can use that can only be used max of 2 times each day (the regular FTG potions from cash shop and free FTG potions given are colored yellow, while the Full FTG potions from the cash shop that costs 1800 EYEC/EYET can be used without any limitation, from which can be taken advantage of if you have the cash)

EXP has been increased on level 90 dungeons, so when you hit at level 90 (Rhadames) and 93 ( Chiron Island) you will feel the increase in EXP than from before even when there is an EXP BOOST event.

The use of EXP Boost event to increase your experience gain, that is why you feel like you are leveling too slow, that is why most players are leveling up their characters or making new ones on Hot Time Event (the event that launches an EXP BOOST rate event, from which increases your exp gain by 200% including monster exp, and stage end exp) all EXP sources now does not stack with the EXP boost event, so if you are planning to buy an EXP BOOST Scroll from cash shop, while there is an exp boost event, do not bother purchasing and just normally grind for levels while the EXP boost rate event is still up and running.

All other 3rd party EXP boost sources such as Guild Costume, Guild EXP, Returned Hero Benefits, and Stage EXP skill on your combined skill stacks with the EXP BOOST event besides the
100%/50% EXP boost scroll.

Leveling up now is much faster than before, so i think you are just feeling this since there is no EXP boost rate event currently the next one will be on june, each month there is always atleast a 1week exp boost rate event, so stay tuned on their calendar

One more thing, the FTG consumption is supposed to reduced when your in a party right? The more party members, the less FTG consumed.

Does this rule still apply? It seems like it doesn't.

[Mr.Shovels]

it doesn't apply to regular party, unless its a Daily Party, whenever i solo my Dailies, i create a Daily Party, to minimize loading times and also the hassle of going back and forth into the dungeon, as well as the FTG consumption of your character while entering each dungeons has decreased, you can notice it.

i'll log in in a few minutes, going to try and update you with how much FTG i have left from 1500 till after i finish my DQ in a regular party, then login to my sub and test out doing regular runs without a party/ in a regular party alone.
