An Introduction

 
What is the aim of the Linkshell? 
The aim is to provide information on how to successfully Exp Camp Level in FFXIV ARR, and to give those interested in this more social way of levelling a place where they can meet and group up with others in their level range, build levelling parties, and have some Fun ^^

What is an EXP Party? 
An EXP Party (EP going forward) is a party of 4 – 8 players who kill mobs (monsters/creatures) in a specific area, in a specific zone, to maintain a constant stream of XP. This idea is much like the leveling parties of Final Fantasy XI.

How does the EP work? 
By killing mobs in rapid and constant pace. The pace allows you to keep your experience chain constantly going. 

But will it work in FFXIV? 
XP gains in EXP Parties can be HUGE compared to the amount of EXP required to level. It is not unusual, In the space of an hour to spend 30 mins of that waiting around or traveling between fates. That's 30 mins of killing mobs in a group for chain exp that you could have been gaining, whilst making long term friends at the same time. 

Party Size 
You can form an EXP party with as little as two people, however, your rate of return will diminish as the level and type of mobs you'll be able to kill will be limited because of overlapping party roles. A light party (4 or more members) is therefore recommended. This gives you the 4 necessary party roles. However, a full party (8 members) seems to be perfect for super fast exp. 

What can i expect as soon as i join? 
Well, as of today 27/Sep 2013, this Linkshell was founded so probably not alot until we can get enough people interested in this alternative to the endless fate grinding which people think is “The only way to level fast”. It can take time to change people’s stagnant mindset even in new games. That said, I will promote this idea and the Linkshell as much as i can and hopefully… very soon… we can get some test groups going ^^
