Better hurry and level past 210 while u still can

AznboiE

at least while it's still easy, by grinding at Arcane River.

According to the latest KMS update Arcane River gets nerfed. (I know this is non GMS related, but please do not move this post to Non GMS related forums as I believe players NEED to see this in the general discussion thread as more players go to this section of the forums than Non-GMS section.)

Exp drops 50% while hp drops to <70% original HP

So those who have been 1hko-ing these things are going to lose dramatic exp while players who have been struggling will gain more EXP (in theory).

Effortless

That's stupid

Wow thats a evil way to destroy a grinding place.
I mean do they really think there are other places with good exp.
Well rip arcane river

Isn't the Union Card System gonna make exp easier to get though?

Neospector

The Union system grants access to cubes, potential scrolls, drop rate buffs, and leveling potions (only usable in certain level ranges), but not EXP directly.

Vanishing Journey mobs have had their EXP cut approximately 50%, except for Arma and Arma's Followers, which remain the same.

I would note that the Arcane Force requirements on Vanishing Journey mobs has been lowered as well. Also, only Vanishing Journey mobs have had their EXP lowered, and at level 210+ it's recommended you visit Chu Chu Island instead.

YEah that's the thing, though.

When you reach 210, you still probably don't have the arcane force required to go there. I'm 210 and 80% yet I still haven't gotten 100 arcane force, though really close. There's gonna be a lot of players like me stuck in limbo with mobs too hard to kill that give good exp and mobs too easy to kill that give crap exp until we get 100 arcane force to efficiently train at chu chu. They should have nerfed chu chu's requirement as well and not nerf arcane's exp gain as much as they did, you have to work 8% harder killing 2 mobs in the nerfed update to gain the same EXP as 1 current mob.

What they also should do is leave the mixed mob maps and 2/3rds of the forked road maps alone and have them still require their current amounts of Arcane force to enter so that the higher funded/higher leveled players who don't have 100 arcane force yet can still enjoy being at Vanishing Journey.

Once you clear Chu Chu Island, you'll get boosted 30 AF instantly though. If you're waiting til you have enough AF to do Chu Chu, then you should probably stop waiting and just go clear Chu Chu for the free 30 AF lol. Also so you can start doing Hungry Muto asap.

Maybe that's part of what they're trying to fix. If it takes you twice as many kills to get from 200 to 210, you will get more Vanishing Journey Arcane Symbols (and also nodestones) along the way, and end up with considerably more Arcane Force by the time you're able to proceed to Chu Chu Island.

You can only really do that if you're very strong. Being over 60 AF below Skywhale Mountain's requirement, it would not be easy to clear.

The fact that Arma and his followers aren't being reduced is just gonna make Map Drama even worse up there. I hate to say it, but if you're gonna nerf it all, nerf ALL of it. Otherwise you're gonna have even more drama to sort out.

Spadow confirmed that the rates went through to the live server...... soooo yah definitely ger to 210 asap

They have always nerfed training spots, like LHC -> HoH -> SDH -> WG. But they usually end up releasing other new maps
