User talk:Kapra/New Exploration Chart

Old chart has 60 to get from level 1 -> 2, but here it says 676. That's 11x more.

Did they make it easier to get Explore EXP or just ridiculously harder?

Harder for about the first 20 levels, at lvl 22~23 it should be about the same, and easier for level 24 to 30. (And there's now 31 to 50.) Although, ranking Exploration Mastery increases experience gain from L-Rodding, Sketching, completing exploration quests, and MAYBE completing iria dungeons? However, it does not effect expl exp from rafting monsters, turning in fossils, or turning in artifacts. However, Relic Investigation skill can potentially restore things with higher quality than Voight does. And they also added new exploration quests and changed others (not too sure on details of this part). Basically, they're making you actually WANT to explore.
I do have a graph prepared but not posting it until maybe tomorrow.

Do Rafting and Ballooning still give the same EXP? How much extra EXP does Exploration Mastery provide?

80% exp increase from r1 exploration mastery, rafting and ballooning were left in the dust. Especially since elephant statues from rafting are pre-restored. On the bright side, gachapon artifacts are kind of nerfed. . .

Is that stacking glitch with elephant statues still around...I remember it was quite...something.

Stacking glitch?

...nvm then.

Is hat you're speaking of an abusable glitch? If not, what was the nature of the glitch?

It does something funny to the exp. I'll just leave it at that. Now stop pressuring me D:

Any idea on how effective the Treasure Hunter skills are in leveling exploration? Because I don't want to be killing 27 Red Dragons especially against competition

What I've noticed is, for some reason in KR live I've been leveling super fast compared to NA, with low ranked exploration. On the other hand, it takes forever to train in KR test, so I think there might have been an event involved. I am not sure if exploration mastery in anyway effects raid expl exp.

IIRC the raid itself doesn't give exploration exp, the boss is the one giving it out.
