Bug Description:
Thralls leveled to maximum in 20 minutes
I had a level 6 Danilisia, and a level 15 Barkeeper in tow, I performed 2 Level V Purges and a Level VI Purge, when I collected the last loot from the crates to pass items to the Thralls I realized that both of them became level 20!!!
Thank you CROM!
Just out of curiosity, were there golems in any of the purges you did?
We’ve been seeing the same thing on our private server, sometimes thralls suddenly jump up a bunch of levels during a purge, but only when there are golems in the purge.
I have seen the same kind of leveling with my level 8 purges with golems. My friends will bring along a couple new thralls and put them on defense somewhere in the base, and at the end they will be level 20. We checked, and each golem is worth something like 14,000 experience. And they come in massive waves (sometimes two separate golem benches during one Purge). I don’t think this kind of leveling is a bug.
As you explain it to me it seems to make more sense, I must have taken down two charges of golems, I didn’t count how many there were but it was certainly two waves.
Golems grant massive exp as they always do.
The trick however is how to sneak upon golems without being chopped by human raiders and how to avoid your thrall from meeting the same fate.
This is one of the well-known ways of pumping. Kurak, Al-Meriah, The Purge.
In this case, through killing golems during Purge of 6-8 levels.
I just want to note that fast leveling up to level 20 does not allow the slave to eat the food necessary to increase the probability. Thus, pumping truly elite thralls through Purge is not recommended.
At the same time, you can put pumping on stream and then select the best thralls.
Just for interests sake, are your XP settings on your server(s) anything but 1.0? Just asking because way back when the Purge concept landed I found that thrall XP’d up like that because I’d forgotten to reset Thrall XP - the Purge upped the XP settings (I think). I am sure someone will correct/confirm.
