No weekend event this weekend, but there is an increased item drop event running right now for one month.
You do realize the xp rate has allready been raised since the last few publishers right? 0.20% per mob at FC for example is allready quite a lot compared to what it used to be.
I am hm 8 and I still get .20 per mob. You need to grind with mobs that are 5 levels higher than you. Exactly 5. So once you level up and they turn orange, go find the next set of mobs.
