EXP Cost Change!
For those of you who don\'t follow the battle forum hashtag: Experience costs have changed! The price to increase stats now scales with your pet. But don\'t worry, costs are capped at the previous prices -- you\'ll pay less if you have a smaller pet, but the same as before if your pet is Tier 10 or higher. Go forth and battle!

Newer battlers have felt neglected for a long time. It's always been tough to get into battling, slow to gain stats (unless they autotrain, which most new battlers don't), and hard to advance, because the same opponents used to rise in difficulty every year. So yes, right now, we are focusing on the little guys a bit -- giving them a new challenger, some "newbie boosters," cheaper experience costs (which should have been that way all along, like in other games), and a win reset/new loot. The big guys are going to get their turn soon. Like I said, we have a lot of stuff coming up this year. :)

I can see why this would upset a lot of old battlers who spent so much time and effort buying boosters and collecting EXP to train their pets, only to have something like this occur. I think it would upset me too if I had spent that much time and money training my pets...

Shit lol I was about to complain!!! I didn't want to pay more XP, but it's noticeably cheaper!
Thank's Subeta! :) Best Luminare gift you could have given me!

Love this change. Just spent over 600k exp on my battle pet a few days ago; good thing he had just reached tier 10 or I may have had to bang my head against the wall a few times. :P Seriously, thank you for capping it and for helping smaller pets by lowering the cost.

I don't see why this is bad for older battlers, if anything it will now be super fun to start training an additional pet :)

Just spent most of Shadow Mews exp. last week, but this is a pretty awesome change anyway.
Now off to go pummel some opponents! C=

Eeeeee, this makes me so happy. Flandre only eats up about 800-ish for every stat besides health now, and that's really awesome! And now I can use this to manually boost a few stats to be more suitable for my pets who have stats for show! Squee. <3

omg this makes me super happy. I never really was that dedicated to battling and this makes it a whole lot easier for me. I can start training my other pets too!

I like it. :) It doesn't affect my 'main' pet, who's already Tier 10 (and has been mostly hoarding his exp for when training times go up again in another 20-odd levels). But I have loads of smaller pets with whom I've recently started to dabble more in training/battling, and I can see this being really useful to them. Thank you. :D

Oops spent mine last week. Oh well, this will be great for my up and coming battle pets.

@Veratrum the old system was level cost 1000- most other stats were like 1250, with this new system if you are below tier 10 you are going to pay less then what you did before BUT if you are higher than tier 10 you will not pay more than that

Oooh, so glad I was saving up my experience until I had a bunch, so I could do a lot at one time- now I don't have to!
There is one part I don't understand, though. What exactly does this mean?
"But don't worry, costs are capped at the previous prices -- you'll pay less if you have a smaller pet, but the same as before if your pet is Tier 10 or higher."
That's the only part I don't understand.

bit hard on the older player, spent so much to get it up & now it is so much easier. should be some sorta reward or system to give the older ones a break a bit i think.

YES! I don't feel so bad about Giroro being a weakling! : D I think this is a lot more fair--the 1,200 or so I was spending was a bit much...

Definitely liking this change. Its a great way to help inexperienced pets gain stats. The cap is a great idea as well. The only reason some people will be annoyed is because they're already spent a lot of points. Still a great change though.

As soon as I read this I anticipated someone complaining because they had just spent all of their EXP on stats, only to now realize that it would have been cheaper to wait. Not I, though. Change appreciated.

Just after Albia hit Tier 10, too. :P
I like this decision overall, though. Great for new battlers.

Cool. Still not 100% sure on whether or not it's a good thing (as I've not used the little EXP I have) but it's really nifty.

33,233 EXP Points
Buy Speed (500 EXP)
32,858 EXP Points
Difference: 375
I started out with over 36,000 and only three clicks brought me down to the 33,233. There seems to be a bug.

I really like this change. This, the new battle opponent and the tier system really promote the smaller pets. Perfect for people want to give battling a try!
Battle Quests and beating small opponents with small pets is now worth it, because you don't need 20 battles anymore to gain one stat point.

I just started saving up my experience points a week ago or so.
This little change just made it so much better.

Love it!
Also, loved the fact that in the frustration of trying to boost Abyss to that last tier he reached, I burnt myself out on training for a bit and forgot all about exp points until now--- going in to find that many points on him made my jaw drop a little, and the change up meant he got quiiite a bit out of it!
LOVE it~

Awesome! The small amount of points I've earned with my smaller pets can actually be spent now :)

This is awesome since I'm a new battler and the entire thing is pretty daunting :D Its nice to know that for a lower pet it'll be easier to get the exp to up the stats!

That is awesome, thank you :) And...I had like 18K points because I forgot I could do that. Lol.

It is a bad time to be an older battler. -_-
Welp, guess I can get my other 10 pets up to where my Tier 12 pet is ( that took me 5+ years to get him that high ), A WHOLE LOT QUICKER NOW.
Why was this not instituted 5 years ago? xDD

Def pleased that I decided to hoard them until my training time gets impossible. Time to spend though, I think!

This is really awesome, but I wish now that I'd waited to spend all the experience I had stored up, hahah.
In any case, I'm glad this is in place for the future! :) This is a great idea, thank you!

I noticed this last night, and I think it's pretty cool. I'll have to start battling more with my bb pets to take advantage of it!
