Try fighting the highest level creature possible due to the fact that you get a higher spell xp: character xp ratio based on the average of the levels of the monster. Meaning it is better to fight one lvl 50 instead of 5 lvl 10s.

What class are you playing? I ask this so it would be better to give more class oriented advice

It is the reason why Wakfu is a good game and not a single person I met so far could argue against the versatility and tactical depths of the combat system, but again one needs at least half a brain for that and your prior posts have pretty much shown both of you don't have that.

Back when I played often the combat system was interesting at first, but it eventually became dull. I'm guessing this was due to the the general lack of content, it led to grinding. There was also this:

    a. you only control one unit unless you multiclient, which is a pain to alttab. what the hell sort of tactics game gives you only a single unit?
    b. most units cannot solo the interesting equal-level battles, forcing players to party or multiclient or pick boring battles
    c. finding and maintaining parties was a chore. there is no LFG tool. to join party battle you must stay nearby, but movement was clickbased and there was no autofollow or autojoin mechanic
So have they done anything to improve this?

I don't think of it as a bad thing that you have to team up for the higher level content.

I wouldn't know how it is to constantly look for a party though. We are at a point where we almost have to get 2 constant parties going with the player numbers in our guild.


Also Patch, who would think Enis are underpowered? Things are broken as hell ^^

they change balance on class each release (since the game should go out of beta in 2 month it's better they find some solution asap). And the biggest problem of wakfu is that you actually can level faster in solo or even better by using 2 client in duo, doing level 70 in 3 days and you have quite nothign to do aside farm last leveles and the black crow (or farm mats for crafting shit that anyway any medium guild have a mastered crafted in a month), the pvp was quite pointless (not sure if stuff are changed, didnt checked last 2 patches) and even all islands encounter are doable in a duo group or 3 man tops (even without use bugs / op classes / exploit of any kind)

Level 70 in 3 days? What the fuck were you fighting for such fast/good XP?

I'm currently level 45. Leveled to this point in about 3 days. I haven't been playing EXTREMELY efficiently or anything, but I don't think I can get level 70 no matter how hard I tried.

Probably it was possible before one of the patches that nerfed group exp: in a big group one fight with kraloves could net you more than 100k and explodoll sadidas (which were usual in such groups) could finish everything in few turns.

I don't think either that it is possible anymore after the patch and the strong XP nerf. Especially the low lvl chars don't get a lot anymore.

you just need to know the zone and have a guild that support the governor inside it to unlock the challenge to let you fast exp on the right path ;) use wakfu world site, make yourself a path of mob to kill for each 3-5 level range, trying to aim to get everytime a decent highest mob level in ratio with your level group (the formula of exp in wakfu is tard as hell)

it's still doable and when i exped my sadida with my xelor, the sadi was the weakest class ever (back in time was the iop to dominate all), but i exped my sadi till 72 in exactly 3 days and he was doing only the leeching job (and totem)

actually is still doable, try to exp with 2 chara (not the weakest of the patch >_> i did the mistake to make a rogue just for the look of it and got bored at 46 at the end of day 1 of release of it and he was totally a leecher), with new patch you cant go against mob higher of your total level anymore to get good exp (before you was roaming with 1 chara in full wisdom set and the main doing 90% of the work doing 2 times the total amount of your characters level group).

nonetheless i've to admit that probably amanka have still the fastest way to level up exp side (not played at ALL in sukofia ) but i know brakmar / ama and bonta kinda well ;) (but seriously they resetted the challenge achievement like 7 times now no point to play anymore till release) XD

I'm not talking about higher level content. When I played it forced you to party very early on.
