campaign experience points calculations
| Contents [hide] |
Overview
Adventurers are rewarded with experience points or limit points for participating in campaign battles. The amount of experience a player receives from a battle depends on the actions he or she performs while wearing campaign tags during the course of the battle.
Action Caps
Most actions in campaign can only be repeated a certain number of times before they stop yielding experience points; that's because each action has an experience points cap. Once an adventurer in campaign reaches the cap of a certain action, no more experience can be gained for performing that action until the adventurer gets new campaign tags.
Maximize Experience Rewards
The best way to maximize experience rewards in campaign is to perform a wide range of actions. Many high-level melee players sub dancer or white mage so they can heal while dealing damage. Likewise, mages often sub a melee job and join the fray while casting spells. Multifaceted jobs such as red mage, blue mage and paladin thrive in the hybrid nature of campaign.
Experience Points Table
Below is a table showing the experience points awarded for each action in campaign, as well as the caps on repeating the various actions. Remember this is just a guide. The method of awarding points in campaign battles has been modified in past updates of FFXI.
