Though we have token exchange quest now, still few people plan to romeo and juliet pq. Maybe people thought its too waste time . if you not lucky with this stage you would spent 5mins even more. if you wanna get token, RnJpq would be the worst option. if you'r a newbie of royals and bored with lonely train.the RnJpq still will be forgotten. I have two suggestions reduce stage rows Or back to last row when you select a wrong platform(because its the main time spent Increase Reward Exp ；For example like Epq ;The finally exp depend on your level.(Make them feel it's worth the time)
The reason RJPQ has gone to the wayside is because the Staff introduced it as a competitor to PPQ. We all know how much rival PQs result in just one PQ mostly winning it out, which in this case is PPQ since it doesn't require specific classes and can run with 3~6 players. Make R&Jpq lv85+ or lv90+ PQ. Adjust PQ rewards and buff the pendant to account for lv90+ people.
Tbh for me whenever I did Romeo and Juliet PQ, the one stage that's concerning for me for lower lvls is the boss stage. For a pq lvl 71+, the boss is very difficult for a party of 4 with just all under lvl 80's. The platform stage is only difficult if your party members do not say their numbers or don't know the pq at all. The boss stage is impossible to do while defending juliet or romeo whichever side you're doing without having 2 high lvl players(1 that can defend and 1 that can attack). It just makes no sense to make the pq for lvl 71's if the boss isn't able to be taken down by a full party of under lvl 80's like in ppq. Maybe increasing the party limit amount from 4 to 6 can make a change, but the boss stage is for sure 100% too difficult for a party of 4 with just under lvl 80's. Basically what xdarkomantis is mentioning above might be a proper change.
But i dont think boss is stop people to join RnJpq main reason. The main reason is what i say : people could go ppq for more exp and others fast run pq for token. They will feel that the RNJPQ is not worth it to get anything
RNJ gives more exp than ppq does. If your party knows how to run everything correctly and it's not the first time for everyone the pq shouldn't take you longer than 15 min to finish. RNJ gives 1m+ exp per round(more with hs) and also both ppq and rnj are usually dead because people would rather just self leech, but that's a whole different thing. In fact most people in the server that I've done RNJ with for their 1st time all have told me they didn't even know it existed, which is very surprising to me. PPQ exp slows down starting lvl 80 and RNJ exp last until lvl 95, it's just that the boss is too difficult without having a high lvl player there to carry. Btw if anyone needs help ever running RNJ, I would gladly be willing to take you as long as I'm free.
If you are having trouble defending Romeo/Juliet, have at least one 3rd Job Archer in your party with Max Puppet. If correctly done the puppet can lure the mobs away and you get 1 free min to rack in some damage to the boss. Also Power Knock Back helps a lot so you get whack the Huroids out of RJ's body.
