[EMS] Level 231!


Ding! I'm back at trying to do a daily grind all the way to Level 235. What changed? A mixture of 5th Job adjustments that came with the Ark update, a slight increase in %-STR, Arcane Force  and a bunch of expiring 2x EXP coupons. Seeing what they did with the Black update in KMST got me motivated enough to give it a(nother) shot as well.

Going from 229 to 230 was plausible due to aiming for 6% each day - with how the EXP curve essentially doubles each ten levels, I knew it was a bit unreasonable to expect 6% a day from that point forward. However, given that the Black update will most likely take its damn time until the end of 2018 to hit EMS, I thought it might be reasonable to aim for one level a month - with 3% each day (dailies + additional grind) I should have at least two months worth of buffer time to ensure results.

Knowing myself too well though, I did manage to keep up the 3% a day - but the closer I get to 100%, the more I would manually grind out myself (16% in the past two days). Plus, the closer I get to Level 235 - the more Arcane Force and less level penalty I'll have, and possibly some more Star Force along the way. That would contribute for a faster 3% gain each day. Either way; the daily 3% works.

Anyway, I'll probably start writing about the 5th Job related stuff from the Ark update in a few weeks. Because I'm not going to hit Level 235 until late 2018, I'll have to park my coverage on the "Spider in Mirror" skill until my coverage of the fifth skill wave that comes with the Black update. I'll also put a reminder in said blogpost. Fortunately, I have plenty of things to write about the adjustments that has happened to 5th Job, and I also have an interesting new column to write about as well, so there should still be a good mass of stuff to read!

That's it for today - I'll see you guys again next post!
