Asking for assistance means that the next army will be smaller than if you fought them alone. This would mean that you would have more hunts which means you would earn more gold.
2. Looting arts. Since you have more hunts, you loot more arts.i
3. It's fun? | | To deceive their eyes and delay their goals. |
• To slow down the time it takes for hunts to increase in difficulty
• To increase the chances of getting artifacts
• To adjust the numbers so when they go for a record attempt they can fight just a couple more than the current record holder.
• Because they enjoy fighting with other people.
apart from that I am not sure. | I'm surprised no one mention the best reason: to get more FSP.
As the person being assisted, it doesn't make any difference to you. But if you and a partner have a mutual agreement to assist each other, then the amount of FSP you'd both get will be higher.
Using an example of some other petty counter, instead of doing a hunt all by yourself for .5 fsp, you get assistance 5 times, each time earning .1 fsp. The resulting hunt increase would be the same for both cases. But your partner would get 5*.25, or 1.25 fsp for assisting. If he does the same for you, you'd also get 1.25 fsp. Overall, each of you would get 1.75 fsp for assisting each other, instead of .5 fsp for hunting alone. | Note that for some people, this might not be a good thing, because with fsp you'd also get xp, and the xp/fsp is worse for assisting, especially if you do 80% kill for assisting but still get only half (.25) the total fsp.
But I, for one, can't seem to care that much about xp/fsp ratio. | I'm surprised no one mention the best reason: to get more FSP.
Because you're the only one person who thinks so, while it's the opposite :D

Pycckiy_cepBak will have problems in the future, if he'll continue, because he'll have more XP than from solo hunting.
Explanation is there, 7th post:

But assist someone on weak mobs can be helpful on lower levels, as you'll get minimal XP 25*level, so on 6th level, for example, you can't get less than 150 XP, and getting 0.25 FSP equals to 600:1 ratio what isn't that good already, but assisting on low levels can bring you nice XP/FSP. For example if you're 1st level and 2nd HG (helped a lot for +0.1 HG without touching mobs) and call for help others 1st levels, they will get 25 XP and 0.25 FSP from hunt, what is 100:1, what is good. On 2nd level 200:1 not so bad too, etc. As for me, with all these FSP exploits that exist in this game, more than 600:1 ratio is very very bad.
As for calling for assist yourself - it's bad for you, and won't bring you anything good.
If you want to delay your progression and get a lot gold, just do 1 fight per many hours, till workaholic, or even *0 workaholic, to maximaze effectiveness. And you don't have to play on your main character all the time, moreover you don't have to play this game at all, while you're pumping your main character economically and leveling laborer's guild for +defence.
Now if say in short:
Do not call anyone for help, it's bad for you.
Come to help only on <5 levels (IMO) and only on weak creatures, so you won't get more than 25*level XP from killing half of them. | If you want to delay your progression and get a lot gold, just do 1 fight per many hours, till workaholic, or even *0 workaholic
Wrong, the fsp will be consumed to take off all workaholic penalty (0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9)... Which means less gold for you.
About the exp table I'm not sure yet, of course if you only make assistence could be worse...
But if you have a deal with some one, to both ask assistence to each other (mainly on white and green hunts) the earn of HG will be better than fighting alone...
Maybe you could get little more exp, but will exploit some HG as well... | | It also needs to be considered that at higher HG levels there are very few hunts which can be completed alone. At least not without a lot of AP. | As for calling for assist yourself - it's bad for you, and won't bring you anything good.
Game isn't all about FSP. I ask for help even when facing weak mobs for many reasons. None of them have anything to do with FSP. Well, some reason have something to do with FSP. Anniversary free FSP. I also have this hunch that if we will get balancing FSP on the merge, one way would be that the admins would give FSP based on the number of battles you fought but this is a gamble on my part.
But my main reason really is to be as different as possible from LG giants. I want my battle/LG ratio to be as high as possible and by slowing down my hunt growth I could continue fighting longer. I like to pad my battle and win count with easy hunts. It's not a very rational motivation but that's how I roll. I have a good FSP/XP and HG/XP ratio so I can afford to be less than optimal from now on. XD |
