Training and Familiars in EOC

[Plasma]

I was a summ tank and quit a few months ago, however I decided to try out EOC and raise my other combat skills. Since I currently have very low combat stats (under 30 for attack, stength range and mage) and highish combat level (171), I have been using combat familiars to help speed along the process. Overall it is going fine, but I can not seem to get any mage xp from the familiars that are supposed to give mage xp (fire titan, dust devil). Am I doing something wrong?

 

Has dungeoneering changed at all (can I solo it for decent xp)?

 

Thanks.

You get xp based on your primary combat style at the end of a kill. Familiar damage and cannon damage do not award xp in separate skills anymore.

Ahh thanks, that clears some things up.

 

I did notice that I get range xp with hydra familiar, regardless of what style I am training, and can not seem to find a way to get mage xp with any familiar even when I am autocasting spells. What gives?

If that's the case, then there's a few options:

1) You get xp based on what combat style tagged a monster.

2) All previously mage monsters got changed to melee (fire titan & wolper both used mage-based melee, idk about dust devil).

3) Familiars are just wonky overall.
