2 AnswersPrinters1 decade agoHow is the EXP Distributed in Requiem Bloodymare?
Hi, I just started to playing Requiem Bloodymare. I was wondering how the party system works in the game and if there are any Buff skill types of characters like Cleric/Priest/Bishop in Maple story.
I am currently lvl 20 and if i team up with my friends 2 of them and fight lvl 18+ monsters, would the EXP distribution be bad or good? I read somewhere that Battle Magicians are Buff types(not sure). what are the best jobs or character types in a party and how is the exp distributed in it? Are there any special % of exp given in a party?

Hey, this other pc i have is causing me some serious problems.
my keyboard is plugged into the USB (tried with all ports) and when i start the computer up i can't type once it goes to my login page. I tried going on bios setup thing and changed the Legacy USB thing to Enabled for keyboard, saved and exit, rebooted and still no luck.
