I'm leveling a Lv87 Dancer on Ymir Premium, hunting Drosera and Roween on Veins Field (ve_fild02).

The Roween spawns here are not giving any experience at all.

The Roweens on The Plain of Ida (ra_fild12) give experience, but not here.

Maybe the wrong MobID is being spawned on this map?

Here are a few screenshots:

Amesani doesn't list any Roween naturally spawning on that map, so those roween are probably spawned by galion, which is why they give no exp.

[Bomm]

it says 0 JOB EXP. You're job 50, you can't go any higher than that.

[Doddler]

Yeah if a roween is summoned by a Galion it won't give exp or drops. They probably should, but they don't. There's only a couple maps that have Galion spawns though.

[JaeLynn]

You are not listening to me... These spawns are not slave mobs, they are solitary spawns by themselves, with no Galion anywhere nearby that could have summoned them. Also, the experience blocks you see in my screenshots were all from Droseras, not the Roweens. I know that I don't get anymore Job Exp, I've been playing RO since Closed Beta. I have killed slave mobs from other monsters since Renewal was released, like Chepet and Abbysmal Knight, and gotten exp from the Mystcases and Khalitzburgs, they just don't drop any items.

Go to the map and see for yourself.

Also, Amesani is not 100% up-to-date. For example, look at Geographers. There aren't 80 Geos on ein_fild04 anymore. So you can't always trust everything you see in their Database.

Roweens summoned by Galions are different from other monster slaves. The Roweens will change AI and split from the Galion that summoned it and walk the map independently as if they were normal monsters (which makes them really annoying because they don't have exp/drops). The regular Roweens themselves don't spawn on that map on their own. This should be pretty accurate.

Why would they do this one differently than the others? That makes no sense. Why should we have to waste our supplies and effort killing mobs for nothing?

I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just saying I think it's a load of bantha poodoo. :/

It is pretty dumb, those roween spawns more or less ruin the viability of leveling on those maps. Maybe if enough people thought so, iRO could make galions spawn real roweens instead, and then people wouldn't avoid galion maps.

Or modify the skill use of the slave Roweens to make them not wander off?

I like the sound of that option. xD

Is there a way we can make a community poll or something? Could iRO make the change independently, like they have with some items and NPCs, or would this be a higher-up issue?

[DrAzzy]

Change should be possible for the GMs to make independently of kRO.
