  But wait, are you guys planning on doing G14 when it comes out then? Seeing as you need to finish G13 to do G14?

  
  
  Ignore G14. What can it offer that compares to this xp?
  
  Worst case scenario (they patch the mission), G13 takes like an hour to finish.

  Ok I've calculated and in terms of exp efficiency, rafting glitching is still king, unless you can match Act 4 Scene 3 to the timing of how the cycle of rafting glitching is, and that's probably impossible unless you can finish 5 cloakers in 25 seconds.
  
  It goes like this: Rafting glitching > Act 4 Scene 3 > Normal Leveling
  
  The only thing about rafting glitching is that you will definitely be seen, while the other two leveling methods are more discreete.
  
  So say that 320k exp in 20 minutes. 2 hours will be 6x 320 = 1,920,000exp
  And Fomor Raid or whatever that Tara castle mission is called, takes 30 minutes for around the same amount of exp. 2 hours will bring 4x320= 1,280,000exp
  
  It takes about 9 million, 15 million and 31 million exp to level 70, 80 and 100 respectively.
  
  <Boring spam method>
  Level 70 - 9.5 hours (Average of 1.5 hours a day)
  Level 80 - 16 hours (Average of 2.5 hours per day)
  Level 100 - 33 hours (Average of 5 hours per day)
  
  <Tara castle leveling method>
  Level 70 - 14 hours (Average of 2 hours per day in a week)
  Level 80 - 24 hours (Average of 3.5 hours per day in a week)
  Level 100 - 49 hours (Average of 7 hours per day in a week)
  
  <Rafting - recalculation>
  This is a bit difficult to calculate, so I'm taking a video to guide.
  In this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obRcbvvsVK4
  2 waves/half-cycle per every 10 seconds for a total of 4 waves/1 cycle, and a 12 second buffer time for respawn.
  0.16 - 0.43 seconds in the video is one cycle. So 27 seconds for every cycle. We'll take it as 30 seconds in case of server lag or clumsy hands.
  
  Each wave = 4 hobgoblins, 1250-2400 exp each, average about 1825 exp per hobgoblin.
  4 waves is about 29,200 exp.
  1 minute = 58,400 exp, 2 hours = 7,008,000 exp (This is why I said rafting glitching is broken)

  SCC HM is still around 1.3m~2.3m exp an hour without pots, and you get a lot of gold and other drops as well.

  LOL only if you have 2x exp or 4x exp... other then that its about 500k exp every hr...

  Yea please note that my calculations are only for exp comparison without use of x2 exp potions. There are whole mass load of other factors that determine whether a method is gamebreaking or not. (Opportunity cost concept)

  How so? It's like ~230k exp and you can spam it within 6~10 minutes. Even if you didn't account for the most substantial part of the exp (mob exp) it'd still be 600k exp only from completion if you run it 10 times in an hour. Again, completion exp is a very minor portion since most of the SCC exp comes from mobs.
  
  For reference, I get to level 51 (3.1m exp) without using pots in two hours of SCC... and I don't even spam the mission, I go repair and make bank stops, look at chat, etc... With Double Rainbow and 2x combat pots I got to level ~75+ at the same pace in two hours as well. If it was someone who actually ran the mission continuously, I'm sure they'd get far more exp than I do.

  Wow, raft glitching is that good? Wonder why the hell I never raised thunder...

  Note that you need service (removal of camping penalty), a lot of mana potions or access to buy/obtain mana elixirs, and x2 exp potions to make it worthwhile.
  Which actually makes this an expensive but great method if you actually earn a lot of money in real life and have very limited Mabinogi playtime.
  Devcat/Nexon will love you for being a loyal customer.
  I don't say this with sarcasm by the way. It's just that I'm taking a very balanced perspective of things right now without thinking of the moral aspects which further complicates the whole issue.
  
  And you will be interrupted a lot by people who just don't like you and gain a reputation for being a thunder rafting glitcher. If you don't care then proceed at all costs.

  I'm personally not against it, but now I'm kind of drawn to buying NX and doing this ; ;
  
  14m exp in 2 hours @.@ And weekly rbs @.@ Lv80 weekly with just 2 hours of work and maybe $3~5 spent.

  And note that the best rafting spot is limited. If there are 6 channels, you only have 6 spots at any one time.
  You'll be in for some competition unless you play at a time when people won't be rafting glitching.
  Also, there are some people who actually bot the process since it is repetitive.
  
  Which is why I am personally not a supporter of this method.
  
  However, people all play games for different motives, so I respect that some people will prefer this method.
  
  For free players or people who are playing for fun through experiencing variety in the game, this method is highly unadvisable.

  Using river walking, double rainbow, and double exp potion, could get to lvl 70-75 without using a single mp potion. just used level ups, infra, and demi only.
  
  Need at least 11-12 dura on your wand though, otherwise you need to work in a wand switch or repair break (assuming crystal lightning wand upgraded for -mp).
  
  You also need a very high max mp total, to make the most efficient use of demi/level ups. The higher your max mp, the further you can go with this method before needing to use potions. Once you start needing to use potions though, MP100's start disappearing -very- fast.

  This is nice. I can kill 5 in 30 seconds. Just went from lvl 97-98 in like 30 minutes

  I like how SCC HM Solo is still much better exp than this.
  
  Given this is much easier... I'd still go with the faster leveling, better drops, and more fun SCC.

  Agreed. SCC HM solo is more effective than anything else in more ways than one and you don't have to spend a single nx.
