    UPDATED DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE AS OF JANUARY 4, 2017:

    The game has changed since this thread was started, but our service is still available. Now, for your purchase of XP you will be joined by three or four of the highest level players in the game on a control point. You will be on the control point in the middle of the action beside the group's dedicated healer. If all goes smoothly, your 1 Million XP will be delivered in about two hours. If you die (which happens of course you are at risk on a control point!) we will keep working to make up for the XP loss that comes with death so that you leave with 1 Million gained. Looking forward to working with you!

    ORIGINAL POST FROM OCTOBER 2016 FOR CLARITY ON DISCUSSION IN THREAD:

    We are a group of the highest level adventurers in the game, ready to help you advance in the game quickly. Your job would be to sit safely in the entrance to Brightbone Pass, in party with our service provider. He will kill everything at the control point for as long as it takes for you to get the XP you want, in increments of 500K. Allow 45 minutes with startup time for 500K, XP gain at control points ramps up and if you are interested in purchasing more, it would take only another half hour for an additional 500K. So, that would be one million adventurer XP in 75 minutes.

    Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to helping you!

    Updating my post from October due to recent activity in this thread to make sure all information is up to date. Have worked with Alexander John and Mac recently, and have found that approximately 500K per hour is accurate after ramp up with recent changes to control points.

    These guys are the real deal! If you are wanting to treat yourself or a friend to a session, don't hesitate because you will not be disappointed! I got a great XP boost during my session with Bum and was able to level my Fire skills apprenticing under his Grand Mastery at the same time. 4 Stars <3

    This is an exploit, plain and simple. The 40-meter rule was put into place to stop this. It's only a game if you actually 'play.' If you pay to have someone boost your characters stats/skills for you, you are only deluding yourself into thinking you've accomplished something.

    I bet there are still some spots near the CPs where one char simply can hide withing 40m range of just everything.

    Just guessing.

    Rofl "someone can do something well that I cant, 'exploit exploit' " Based on assumptions and your interpretation of the 40-meter rule... Is anyone somehow breaking 40 meter range and still getting XP? No.

    I'd give you screenshots to prove otherwise, but for not wanting to disclose any information I won't. I simply have my VIP's stand directly on the CP in the middle of the party, keeps them safe from initial proxy-agro (you can have that tidbit).

    Here's how I do my business if and when I choose (largely unadvertised):

    I can do about 900k to 1M in an hour to a single VIP and I'm asking for a humble 1500 ore to get that much xp in that little time with zero effort and ever increasing safety for the recipient.
    They put in the time doing their trade (mercantile, harvesting, etc.) and I put in the time doing my trade (intelligence, strategy, planning, killing), then we barter services with each benefiting from the other's abilities/chosen gameplay. Seems like its a pretty good system.

    1500 ore @ 30 per = roughly 45000 gold, pretty good deal at appx 50k on the million xp.

    And before anyone goes there, I require payments in ore or whatever suits my fancy at the time (sometimes game gold will suffice). I do not accept cash. Keep it in the game ppl, fight the paypal.

    I think it's an exploit to be able to play at all with your wallet, but hey, that's just my interpretation so I leave it alone and play my game accordingly. In my opinion, it's the ones that buy everything with IRL cash and don't earn anything through gameplay that are deluding themselves into accomplishment, arguably you could transcend the game/real-life barrier to extend IRL accomplishments into game luxuries... Anyway, leave these people alone to do what they do, you do what you do, we all go about our merry little ways and let the dev's give guidance as they see fit.

    ~2 Cotos

    PS - I imagine the actual method and rates have changed considerably with changes to game mechanics, mob resists/hp, zone layouts, xp/party rules, etc. from the original post.

    I asked the devs before I even started this endevor, and it was allowed. As xeen pointed out, its not an exploit.

    Excellent individuals players and definitely worth the investment and time to experience a different aspect of the game than your used to.

    V/R Brickbat

    Off-topic commentary -
    To some people everything is an exploit - using nobles chat in game, not looting corpses when you kill them, being 600 stones overweight and not leaving the instance to get below your stone limit, etc.

    End this nonsense and give us our PVE game back with optional/opt in PVP.

    It's not my interpretation of the 40-meter rule and the release instructions detail the reason for the 40-meter rule...

    excerpt:

    (Nov.16th 2016-DarkStarr)
    • 40 Meter Requirement for XP Gain (Experiment): We have constrained Experience Point gain so that you must be within 40 meters of other members of your party. Previously, you just had to be in the same zone and this was being used as an exploit where low level characters would wait at the entrance of a zone while high-level players would farm the area to level the low-level character safely.
    Full post:

    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/release-37-instructions.74226/#post-723285

    It's not a question of if you are breaking the 40 meter range requirement and getting experience. It's the fact that you, and others, are actively circumventing an exploit-fix rather than reporting it as an issue.

    As far as, "someone can do something well that I cant, 'exploit exploit' ", trying to be demeaning doesn't make your argument valid. I have a problem with people gaining experience with no effort whatsoever, while the rest of us work to gain it. I don't think that the Developers intended to have experience be treated as a commodity.

    Possibly...wondering about the cliffs above Eastreach gap and how far away that is, and whether or not the Z level is taken into account.

    I think you misunderstand the service. They help avatar learn to hunt efficiently for compensation. It is not passive, nor is it unlawful/improper. Think a tutor.

    I'm not sure how I might have misconstrued the OP's words, but maybe you can explain to me how 'sitting safely in the entrance' teaches a player anything. I'm not sure when sitting transitioned from a passive activity to an active one. If charging a player for teaching them how to play is your intention, although I don't like that idea, it at least wouldn't be exploiting the game. But, as the OP's post clearly details, the player sits safely at the entrance and someone else gains experience for them. No mention of tutoring, teaching techniques, or any other benefit to the player, other than experience points, is mentioned in the OP's post.
