Crafting Experience
The absolute amount of xp should differ. It’s based on a percentage of total xp for the level your character is, differing by what crafting level you’re at.
Yeah that’s what I’ve learned. My concern is the EXP I am seeing on my screen is more than what is added to my EXP bar. It’s a bit I don’t know, misleading?
If you are carefully tracking exactly how much xp you have before and after, I’d screenshot those stats in addition to the xp amount that pops up, because that would be a bug. Put that in the game bugs section of the forums.
The XP amount that pops up refers to the experience bar for your craft levels. It takes more XP to go from 120 to 121 cooking than it does to go from 1 to 2 cooking, and crafting higher-level foods gives more XP as well.
The XP you gain in your character level doesn’t pop up a number and also scales relative to your character level such that 400 crafting levels is 10 character levels (1-100 is 1, 100-200 is 2, 200-300 is 3, and 300-400 is worth 4 levels).
