When it comes to certain Bosses/ Mini-bosses (more so mini-bosses) there feels to be a major deficiency in hp/exp ratio of certain ones compared to others. For instance certain mini-bosses such as headless horseman and Bigfoot have a huge exp ratio compared to the amount of hp they have which is very helpful as an alternative for 4th job classes as a way to level compared to grinding. When you look at the actual hp/exp ratios its pretty dramatic for many mini-bosses compared to others Example: Headless Horseman: lvl 101 Health - 3,500,000 Exp - 300,000 x 3.2 = 960,000 exp Now comparing this to other bosses of similar level and hp. Griffy/Manon: lvl 105 Health - 3,700,000 Exp - 13,500 x 3.2 = 43,200 This is a seriously huge difference in Hp/Exp ratio not to mention Griffy/Manon are four levels higher than a HH. They have 200,000 more hp yet provide only about 5% of the exp compared to what HH gives. I'm also pretty sure one or both has dispel and 1/1 attacks making them a bit more difficult to fight. Here are a few more examples. Example: Bigfoot: lvl 110 Health - 32,000,000 Exp - 2,660,000 x 3.2 = 8,512,000 Now comparing this to a other bosses of similar level and hp. Pianus: level 110 Health - 30,000,000 Exp - 1,300,000 x 3.2 = 4,160,000 Black Crow: lvl 115 Health - 35,000,000 Exp - 1,780,000 x 3.2 = 5,696,000 Bigfoot is a pretty easy boss yet he is the same as HH with his massive hp/exp ratio, Pianus only has two-million less hp yet he only has less than half the experience obtained compared to Bigfoot. Black Crow on the other hand has three-million more health yet gives about 30% less experience and has five levels on Bigfoot. This seems to be the case with many other mini-bosses as well for instance lilynouch has about double the Hp of HH yet provides a little more exp then Griffy/Manon and its the same problem with a mini-boss like Lyka. This also seems to be a problem with even lower level bosses but would be a little too time consuming to compare. Im hoping that we could possibly increase these specific mini-bosses exp ratios compared to how much hp they have. It would provide players an alternative instead of the same old bigfoot and HH at these levels. I often see many of these mini-bosses not being killed even though they provide NX the exp ratio in comparison is not justified to go out hunting them.
I like the idea of buffing the exp on some on the bosses. I disagree on Manon and black crow though. Manon should be kept the way it is as it is hard enough to find to get dragon elixirs which is especially tedious for early bishops. Personally for me black crow is far easier than Bigfoot despite the greater health due to the fact that unlike bigfoot, Crow does not have invincible frames and is far easier to pin and push back. Despite that though I do feel like crow can get a small boost in exp given but not as great as big foot
I think the Griffy/Manon is on purpose. People need to kill those bosses for 4th job skills/advancement. If everyone was hunting them, it would make it even harder.
I agree with that if it do not include bosses that people need for quests. Look at this boss, I used to hunt for a F/p book: Leviathan (120) 13.400.000 HP 47.355 x 3.2 = 151.536 Exp Compared to: Headless Horseman: lvl 101 Health - 3,500,000 Exp - 300,000 x 3.2 = 960,000 exp How come Levi has 4 times the HP and only 15% of the EXP HH gives? Also you can find HH in many different maps, while Levi only shows up at one. Something is wrong huh?!
