In Xyr, my group has had nothing but issues. In Yorkton if I can get a BPs for less than 20 FPs each, that is usually doing pretty well. Not my favorite method, but it has been more effective than the group. (Plus have leveled it a few times.) This was all done by sniping. In Yorkton, I left my group and in the three weeks since, I went from being able to unlock 1 additional level to 9 levels. Although, I'm even finding I can do better without them. In newer worlds, where BPs are harder to find and cost a lot more, groups are essential. The next 20 levels took longer because I stopped pushing, but ending my partnership was the best thing I did. ![]() It took 5 months to get to about level 19 when I finally ended the arrangement. When I leveled my first Arc, I had a partner. Anyway, in Arvahall, my Arc is somewhere in the 30s now and I haven't had to use a swap group at all. 3rd and 4th have better returns but cost more. Find a level 50-80 Arc and you can usually get 5th place (and 8+ BPs with your Arc boost) for relatively cheap. I've found that an Arc group or partner hinders more than helps in an established world. Laura- aren't you in established worlds? I know A for sure. If anyone has any thoughts on this (I know I don’t have the details on the alternate method yet, but you may be able to speculate since there seem to be three or for variations), I would really love to hear them. I am new to Arc groups and don’t really know what the advantages are to the various methods. I just want to concentrate on leveling my Arc, not get involved in all this arcana. She also feels that my Arc needs to be at exactly the same level as theirs, although how we could achieve this without them ceasing to level their Arcs until I catch up isn’t clear. What this will be is not clear yet, as she has to run some spreadsheets to figure it out. One member of the group I’m in (I’m 15, they’re Level 16) insists that this goes against everything she knows and that we must do something “more structured” of her own design. It might not be perfectly even in the prints and medals participants get, but in the long run this will seem trivial compared to leveling the Arcs ASAP. This, the leader insists, is the only way to keep people from bickering over the positions. Essential to this method is that ALL rewards from the Arc leveling go into the next Arc up in the rotation, including any Arc bonuses on those rewards. The guild leader wants each group of three to do a round-robin leveling push, with each member putting all their FP productions (hourly and city productions, not quests or GE unless we so desire) onto one Arc at a time until it gets within sniping range, then bring in a Level-80 Arc owner to lock in the first or maybe even the second position as well. I’m wondering if some of the more expert players here can weigh in on this issue. I got invited to join one, and all seemed great but now one member of the group I’ve been assigned to objects to the method the guild leader is asking us to use. Neither way is wrong.I’ve been kicking around a few guilds looking for one that can help me concentrate on leveling my Arc from 15 to at least 30 or so. If that is unimaginable for you, that is fine, but I DID it, so saying the two are mutually exclusive is simply false. And again, you speak as if it is not possible to steadily level at the same time as building a bank. ![]() Less time, less math, less snipers ( even with your lightning fast thread, you still got snipers). Also, it is ways easier to get 5 contributors, and blast through multiple levels in a few minutes. If I had blown my bank along the way, I would not be at 80 yet, since I would have made less FPs. If you don’t have a bank, you can’t snipe. The reason was mainly that it is better to build a bank, than spend all your fp right away. My 1.9 thread moved just fine, so that wasn’t the reason. The fact that you got any snipers at all proves your method to be worse. By having 80 sweet spot arc friends, and checking them every day, I was leveling my arc as well as slowly building a bank.
