__NOTOC__
Also known as an "EXP Chain" or simply "Chain", this term is used to describe the acquisition of an increased number of [[Experience Points|experience points]] from a monster's death due to the speed in which the monsters were killed. The bonus is obtained by defeating monsters that [[check]] as [[Even Match]] or tougher (EM+) within a time limit that starts when the last EM+ mob is killed. The percentage bonus earned increases as the chain becomes longer; however, a chain will be broken by failing to defeat an EM+ mob before the time allowance expires. Simply defeating a monster below Even Match will not break a chain (example: [[Beastmaster]] mob's [[pet]]), as long as the EM+ is killed within the allowed time, based on the last eligible kill. In party settings, bonuses are based on each individual member's level, so it is possible for mobs that check EM to lower level members to give experience chains, while the same mob will check [[Decent Challenge]] to a higher level member and not give a chain. The maximum experience bonus is 50%.
