Party?

[Kargor]

Well, the party window looks very simple --- no settings at all :-(

However, after getting Party Invites during the first few levels, and then only rarely, the number of invites has increased again lately (for me, approaching lvl 50 now). I'm trying to figure out how Cabal parties work...

1) How are exp and items shared? I mean, Cabal is a strong KSing game, just sharing exp by contribution and giving the item to whoever does the most damage is kind of pointless since that's the default anyway
2) any party bonuses, such as exp bonus?
3) can you do quests with a party? What happens if a party member needs a quest and I don't? Will monsters drop the items? Will they drop it even if I get the kill? What about dungeons?

I'm basically trying to figure out whether I should disable parties in the options. What are the benefits of being in a party? Do they outweigh the potential risk of having your exp shared and items stolen?

Partying will become essential once you get to the higher level dungeons because there.. quite hard on your tod.

1, Its split equally and the only time you will get good xp gain is if they have a rest state.. i think its like this to prevent power levelling. Items are shared however you want to share them, take in turns.. do the lottery etc
2, see above
3, In high level dungeons like at 95 B1F, you have quests inside there which you do as a party. With the drop question its: whoever has the drop quest has to hit the enemy first, doesnt matter who kills him (i think).

Its not good partying if you all hit the same enemy, if all 4 spread out and was attacking your own enemies then thats where you notice how helpful partying can be.
