Leveling masteries is extremely slow so I decided to go the route of experience boost stacking. The gem store experience boost seems to work on event xp bonuses and harvesting, etc. as intended. However, it seems xp from kills stacking is SUPER buggy. Sometimes I get full expected xp from kills, other times only 50% bonus. Sometimes I don’t get any experience at all from kills (even when soloing monsters).
Anyone else seeing this? Is there some situational thing going on where it’s intended that I don’t get any xp from kills sometimes, 50% sometimes and full other times? (all three situations happen when all xp sources are active)
Well, the thing you have to keep in mind is that not all mobs give exp. Usually the ones that don’t give exp are “adds” spawned during certain events. For example: the mobs that appear from the portals spawned during Shadow Behemoth don’t give exp or drop loot. Unfortunately, it can be hard to keep up with which mobs will give exp and which ones won’t because sometimes an event will have some mobs that give it and some that don’t.
As for sometimes only getting 50% of the exp boost, I’m not sure about that. Maybe someone else knows more about it.
Just to clarify, in case you are counting them together, the exploration bonus experience is based on how long said mob has been alive, so if someone had just been through there, you’d get far less than you’d expect to. Nonaggressive animals are great to also kill for that extra bonus since so many people neglect them.
As said above, mobs that are part of an event, or summoned by another, aren’t supposed to give experience. Of course, as RoseofGilead also says, this too is not consistent like most everything else in the game lol.
