Not tried the 10k ones but I know my followers that have done the 7,500 ones a few have died and I never used to lose a follower on a mission as a Venthyr. I am not wanting to kill my followers for a 8-10 hour mission to help level new followers. What sucks is now any new followers I want to level I have to use my two big groups to farm the rewards to level them up until they are high enough as a group to win on their own.
I actually haven’t progressed my mission table beyond level 16 of the Adventure Campaign Progress as I heard the bonus XP missions go away after that. Not sure if its true or not but I get around 2 to 4 of the 1200/1800xp + 400/600/1200 bonus missions a day. Eventually I’ll need to progress one of my alts beyond that I suppose to get the mount missions. Most of my followers are around level 50-53 at this point but as they go up in level so does that XP needed for the next one.
It takes as much XP to get them from 50 to 60 as it does from 1-50. Even with the new big boi tokens, the amount needed is still quite daunting especially if you’re not keeping up with it every day.
No, i enjoy the strategy behind it. Minimizing the people sent and still succeeding. Placement of units for their benefits. The rewards? Meh, i prioritize the experience missions. Guess it’s hard for you to believe people enjoy different things.
