The other night Miruuk and I went into the Mire and we were killing imps. Him and I, MNK & SMN, pulled off a chain 5 without even trying. I found this link that shows people pretty much killing imps and flies in the area with an all mnk burn pt. They pulled off chain 400, and only quit cuz they were tired... www.killingifrit.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=117008Id like to try this. |

Last night Tork and I passed through the same area otw to drop off supplies for his Mission 2. As we approached I warned about true sight imps in the area. When we arrived at the area we found a burn pt slaughtering everything... toads, flies, and imps. The place was exterminated.

I still have a hard time believing this. Only one reason though....I didn't see enough imps or flees to handle this. At most I've seen 5 imps together in a pretty large spot even at night time.

Set up a pt with monks, and a BRD puller, I can see it, 400 seems WAY out there... but still, anything over 15 Chain seems stomach turning to me, mostly because of my latent effect of DRG...

Repops are quick. The same imps for first kill and chain 1 of the chain 5 Krazi and I scored the other night repopped for chain 4 and 5 just a few minutes later.

Repops are like 7 mins or something. We killed the first imp and by the time we were done with the 4th the 1st had popped again. Im sure you could just run around the zone and do this.

Doesn't seem like there's any real benefit to hitting 399 vs 400, other than if the fights only took about 30 seconds. They only got 126 exp/kill. I wonder at what point chaining more monsters does absolutely nothing. LoL, it'd be funny if the continuous chaining added on +10 more exp every time. So at chain 400 lol you get +4000 exp, but I guess that'd kind of make the game take less time and make it possible to max out limit points in only a few hours.

the benefit is that you got the xp bonus that you do on chain 6, for 395 mobs that were quick and easy to kill. It adds up, I'm sure.
125 * 400 = 50000 xp = 5 merits.
As well as the corresponding Imperial Standing Points...mmm...I needs me some points.
Also, I don't necessarily think this is something for just a single, xp type party. Just get a group of interested people together, 4 to 18, and take one of the zones there and start kililing. I'd be interested in doing this to get some IM points, see what there is to farm, and as we roamed, we could explore and get to know the zones. (though I really don't care all that much about the xp, while others probably do)

I bet arrow burn would have torn those imps up, when we had any hope of actually connecting any of our shots. with Xbow I was hitting for over 200 a shot on those flying weak bastards....I bet WS will be 1k and up easy. FIFY |

Arrowburn... lol I haven't heard that term in quite awhile. Do RNGs still get together for Arrowburn PTs?

I'd assume not, if it involves hate swapping... It's still possible, I'd imagine, but the constant running around from the mob would make actually hitting it with any degree of accuracy or damage control next to impossible..
