Quest Exp Rate

1) Kiel quest. Long, strenous, needs a lot of warps and walking and needs you to take down quest Kiel, who is easier than the actual MVP, nevertheless, he can't be taken down solo by most ppl. They need to get a party to get him done. So either they find a party over main chat or they are member of a guild, which is the best thing you can do to learn how to play your class. Third option would be being able to solo him, in which case you seem to know your class pretty well.

2) Veins sibling quest needs you to go down to Thors 1-3. It can be done by using up 1k of fly wings and still then it will be very frustrating as you will get killed by kasas, salamanders, imps or even iFrit.
I think it was a GM who told me the sibling is missing, I'm not sure though. This is the reason why we don't have the nameless island entrance quest btw...

Soo, these quests, Kiel being 1.2 mil (?) xp in 1x rates and Veins sibling being part of the quest arch for like 6 mil (?) xp cannot be done solo by the average player. Those quests FORCE you to be in a guild or to find a good party to do them, which i bet is more helpful for player skill and fair play by that player than just solo grinding Rachel 1 (to mention another grinding place besides mosco at least for once).

Increasing the xp they give provides more incentive to actually care to do the quests (I've done kiel only on those chars that need the dungeon access, and not for the xp), and thus to group up and to learn the party use of one's char (a thor 3 party is doomed by just one player not sticking to the strategy).


BTW: can a GM please confirm the missing sibling is really missing? If he isn't i'd like to do the quests (because i'm interested in the story behind).
