Sin eater level

So, I got a sin eater, and was too lazy to waste my XP on it so I kinda forgot about it.. The other day I summoned it and it was 4 lvls lower than my char now, is that a problem? Do I still only have to level it once? Will it still "redeem my sins"?

You need to lv it above your chars lv, every level above make you guaranteed to remove at least 1 more.

Actually, I believe if you level it one level (which would make it still less than you in levels), then turn it in, you will NOT lose any PK counts but it will give you a new sin eater that's at your current level.

Yeah, that's what I thought.. So it would be smart to get a sin eater everytime I get 1 PK, and go back to leveling, and when i have 5 it'll be several levels lower than me (I don't PK that much, people look at me funny when I'm red) and it'll level much faster? Interesting.. lol.. I'll try to level it today and I'll let you guys know. Thanks!

Well, no, it's not best to do that.

You lose PK counts based on [Sin eater's current level] - [Your current level].

You can turn in the sin eater as long as [Sin eater's current level] - [Sin eater's original level] is at least 1.

If you turn in a sin eater and it does not remove all your PK counts, you get a new sin eater whose level == your level.

So, say you're 70, with 5 PKs, and you have a level 60 sin eater.

You level the sin eater to 61 and turn it in. Because 61 < 70, you lose no PKs, and because you still have PKs, you get a new sin eater at level 70.

So you end up at 70, with 5 PKs, and a level 70 sin eater. Now you'd need to level that sin eater at least to 71, before you can actually lose PK counts.

Actually, I believe if you level it one level (which would make it still less than you in levels), then turn it in, you will NOT lose any PK counts but it will give you a new sin eater that's at your current level.

I turned one in that was at least 4 levels below me. It removed 1 PK.

Yeah, I was told the number of PKs it removes was random, as long as you leveled it at least once.. I'll try it anyway, and I'll let you guys know..

how long does it take to level the sin eater 1 lvl at lvl 70+ ?

Depends.. As a SH, 20-30 min.. As a summoner 20-30 hours and 50 million elpys?

It is random. it works like this

for every lv you lv it, you will be GUARANTEED to be removed 1 PK for each lv.

lets say you got 25 PK's.

You lv the pet to lv 5, and then your guaranteed to get 5 Pk's removed and top 25 if your lucky aka get am all gone.

I have turned in a sineater 5 levels lower than me and it removed one PK count.

Depends.. As a SH, 20-30 min.. As a summoner 20-30 hours and 50 million elpys?

Yeah, poor summoners really get the shaft, we can't use any of our damage-dealing skills.

Just need SH friends I guess.

It doesnt really matter if its lower than your lvl..I had a sin eater lvl 40 and I was 60 when I decided to do the quest..It erased 1 PK off of me

Why does it matter anymore now that u cant drop when not red?

Sin eater/pk count never mattered when youre not red

the drop rate is lowered while red but you can still drop
i turned in a lvl 40ish sineater at lvl 60ish and it removed 1 pk
