Conjuror Leve Tip: Getting the most out of Guardian Aspect? Follow

Conjuror Leve Tip:

When doing solo leve's you can kill EP mobs with Spike Darts and get about 1700+ skill ups per leve with gaudian asspect active. Just don't do the leve mobs untill 5-8 minutes remaining. And even only kill your marks with spirit darts. You gets hords of skills this way. I went LVL 10-12 in 3 leve quest.

This is something I just noticed. I could never figure out why the leve quest ere so damn easy on solo and I wonder if this was why. I get so much skill ups that it was surprising. I'm not sure if this is something commonly known or if it will help people lost in some of the game mechanics but I hope this atlease helps someone.

Thanks and have a good day.

That's good info to know.
I did 4 leve's before I came into work tonight. I was trying to figure out why they gave me 30min to do something that only took 5min.
I'm also guessing that it's 30min so you can find the treasure chest.
Thanks.

At the risk of sounding like a complete newbie, what is an "EP mob"?

EP = Easy prey. In FFXI monsters were graded not by color levels, but by a system of easy to understand phrases. Too Weak to be Worthwhile, Easy Prey, Decent Challenge, Even Match, Tough, Very Tough, Incredibly Tough, and Impossible to gauge (reserved only for notorious monsters). Translated into the color system it would go something like :

Blue = Easy Prey
Green = Decent Challenge
Yellow = Even Match
Orange = Tough - Very Tough
Red = Incredibly Tough

There are no Too weak monsters that I've seen in XIV (in XI too weak mean monsters so weak you would no longer gain exp off them, from what I've seen of XIV all monsters will give at least 1 xp per kill.)

Guardians Favor does not work on non-leve mobs, it's already been tested and confirmed. You're either experiencing a placebo effect, or your 'observations' are incorrect. If you're trying to disprove something that's been 'confirmed' it would be nice if you would post some screenshots or data logs.

I agree. I've never gotten any extra SP killing non-leve related mobs with Guardians Favor active. I think you just got your two ranks from an hour and a half of pure grinding.

Being inside of a leve has nothing to do with it. Go grind for two hours and you can hit 9. Doing anything in two hours can hit 9 from grinding, crafting, leves, crafting leves. 1-9 in any class is super easy compared to life after 10.

What we are trying to tell you is that you do not get ANY extra SP with Guardian's Aspect when you attack non-levequest related mobs.

Guardian's Aspect only boosts SP gain when you kill the mobs asked for in the levequest. If it tells you to attack bees, and you attack a squirrel instead, you do not get any bonus SP.
