Most people who solo doesn’t like to party because they see less Tera Gold exp per monster. In a right party, you can massively kill monsters at a faster rate assuming everyone does their part. Find the right people and no lechers.
So stop complaining about killing purple monster for more exp., try to time how much percentage you are actually receiving in a set amt of time. This guide doesn’t limit you in anyway and it works for any class and your own style of killing.
The game encourages partying. Also, party members will have complementary skills that will make you fight better. It is important to find a good party with an effective leader.
So, I’ll tell you that your focus is wrong, never look at exp / mob always look at exp/time. You want the max amt. of exp by a certain time.
After killing for a while you manage to see and know when each monster will change color at each level you gain.
So you just lost 20% as if you were to stick to Desires you wouldn’t have died. So overall you risked that 20% lost because of a 3% gain. My recommendation would be that you stick to the lowest orange monster of the type you want to kill.
