View Full Version : Explain PvE kills?

Yes, i searched but i didn't see anything conclusive.
Can someone explain how kills are counted in PvE?
I notice my 76 capped mage is about 350 kills short of 25000 kills and the achievement that goes with it.
levels on previous campaigns (prior to BSM) seem to generate no kills whatsoever, much like losing XP once you get beyond a campaign.
However, even in BSM, I am only getting sporadic kills per enemy slain. Is there a multiplier at work here? or must i be the actual character that kills off the enemy to get credit (if another party member kills it before i finish it off)?
On average, for every 50-60 enemies kills, i will get approximately 10-15 kills counted it seems.
Can someone explain?

I believe you have to be the one who takes the final hp to get the kill.
Seems they have tied xp and the kill tally to end kill farming except by paying plat.

Or you can do it gradually :) My mage has almost got there: 34.739k. Need 35k kills to get another achievement!

Why solo when mages are great for kill steals?

That's correct.
Unfortunately, there's something critical that I would like to see that is not present - the ability to distinguish between elixir kills and non-elixir kills in PvE. That is very useful information.

Maybe they should reduce the number of kills with an elixir than kills w/o elixirs. A lot of people will have significantly lower K kills. I personally do not care about PVE kills unless they are uber cool like 0 deaths/ 0 kills or 30k kills/ 0 deaths. In fact, KDRs don't really reflect any skills. *Clears throat* Boosters!

Did some soloing last night. Its confirmed, that last HP seems to do the trick.
I think the mage has a better chance of stealing kills than a Bird. While a Bird can do great damage to single targets well, the mage and its firestorm 12m blast can wipe out any enemies about to die all around her.

Never knew that. I always tought it was whoever did the most damage on the enemy lol.
