Best way to use x8 tome for my character?

Hello, i have a lv135 swordie and i thought i may aswell try the new tome x8 since i have lots of free tomes from events and maintenance rewards.
I was thinking that maybe the best way to use it would be to use all my lv6 cards and hit lv147 then, pop the tome and just do missions in merc post until the effects ends. what do you think? i’ve never used one :smiley: does the effect remain even if i stay in city/queue for more than 1 days? do maintenance/server restart inferfere with it? what lv do you think i could hit?

thx!

edit: or maybe i could pop all my lv6 cards, hit lv147, then do all the maps around my lv and keep using cards until i hit the usual wall, then pop the tome and do missions

From today’s ktos patch:
6. The way that experience is aquired will change.
- When using Experience Tomes, Tokens & items that can improve item acquisition etc. , the value gained will now be based upon the final total value, regardless of the map location.

This means that you should wait until we get this patch and then use Tomes for 265+ grind. Cheers!

well, in over 500h i reached lv200 with only one char so i don’t think i will wait to use it for 265+ XD

Queue 3 missions 2 hours before the server about to reset. For 6 missions.

Better use x8 exp tome when you’re at least level 230 because it takes a while for ranks 5 and 6 to do missions. On my fletcher, I can do 12 merc missions within the one hour duration of the exp tome. After reset, many queue and after doing 3 runs, I use the dungeon reset (two dungeon resets are given from the current event which has 14 days expiry).

Hang on, I thought the time limit for the exp tome does not reduce in towns or in dungeons/missions? So going by that logic, wouldn’t the x8 exp tome be always in effect as long as you stay in merc post/fedimian and just do missions?

Yes it would. While youre outside the mission. Inside the mission, time reduces.

The time remaining is halted when you are either in a town or in a dungeon/mission queue. I wish that same time dilation effect applied to the regular tomes, but it does not.

Ahh thanks for the answers! OK, so it only eats during missions. =)

I was 280 when I used a single x8 tome. Finished Sil Mission by getting 1.1m per boss. Quite good, eh?

After that, I started to solo Maven because why not? Then-- this happened.

100k+ EXP from a single mob, which could be killed within 3 seconds. (Heal does a lot of damage [ 22k per tile (Because of Heal+Blessing interaction)])

TL;DR: If you can kill high hp pool mobs quickly, use the tome while soloing. But that’s just my own point.
