I tackled them when my party was level 12. I got 37800 XP, which pushed me through 13th, and strangely everyone (who were at different XP levels previously due to crafting) ended up at 90999 XP. This is 1 XP short of another level which makes me think TOEE doesn't allow you to jump two levels. I am curious what the designated XP value of the encounter is, or if it varies somehow. I had been clearing out Temple level 3 and hadn't done level 4 or the rest before I thought I would go over to Verbobonc for something different. If I am getting too high a level for the rest of the game, I won't hit the level up button for a while. I'll be level 14 if I level up. What do you think? Should I do the temple at level 12, then level up to do the War of the Golden Orb and so on? By the way, I posted earlier about meeting Robin. That was on the way to the Slavers. What a night- maybe I should put the game away; I don't think it can top these last few hours. Thank God for Greater Command and Stinking Cloud.
The slavers at 14 with a 5 man party is doable, but tough, (at least for me). I've only fought Robin once, but am looking forward to the next time already.
Yes, Caltino. Your experience is capped at 1 point less than 2 levels above your present level until you take the next level.
