Guild Wars 2

Hi, i am from brazil and just bought the game last week, i’m playing with my friend and i have a question, we are killing bosses and we both get a gold medal when the boss dies, but he gets more exp than me, like i get 530 and he gets 780.

My question is. Why?

Sorry for any mistakes, as I said “Brazil” here.

Has he perhaps got an Experience booster active? Maybe he clicked on a Guild Experience boost banner, or is he in a guild that gives boost to experience?

Point is, there are quite a few ways to boost experience in the game, and perhaps his was boosted, whereas yours wasn’t.

I’d say it’s because your characters are different levels.

From the wiki -
Experience gained is modified by the difference in the content level and your character level. This modifier begins with a base of 50% and scales linearly as the difficulty decreases. For example, a level 50 character completing a level 25 event will receive 52500 * .07 * .75 = 2757 XP. This does mean a high level character will receive more experience for the same content as a low-level character, but the percentage of a level gained is higher for the lower level character. For example, a level 25 character completing the same event will receive 14100 * .07 = 987 XP. While this is almost one third that of the level 50 character, it is 7% towards the next level compared to the 5.25% the level 50 receives.

It depends on the level of your characters and the level of the event. You should receive about 7% of experience needed to level when completing an event. So 7 % may be 530 for you but if your friend is higher level it may be 780 for him.

Must be level because I don’t think any Boosters, banners or food effects increase event reward XP.

From wiki:

There are several ways to increase the amount of experience earned from kills.
(and the table under this lists all the XP increasing methods).

Most likely the reason, why your friend’s character get more xp is that his character is higher level. Now I am talking about his character’s real level, not downgrade level. In downgrade level you both are same, but in real level his character might be in higher level.

Wiki says like this:

“Experience gained is modified by the difference in the content level and your character level. This modifier begins with a base of 50% and scales linearly as the difficulty decreases. For example, a level 50 character completing a level 25 event will receive 52500 * .07 * .75 = 2757 XP.

Well, he did say “boss dies..”.. So……

But, I do agree, it probably is more likely that it was because of level.

Thx for the Reply.

He also said “GOLD MEDAL”….that only happens via EVENTS.
