Strange exp earned observations

[Golto]

Ok I brought my lvl 65 char into UO A and noticed I was getting 115 exp by doing dmg to the small lvl 100 monsters, ageetas and Lapchucas, and 170 for the killing hit. When I hit lvl 66 that exp earned increased by 5 each, 120, 175. Now that my char is lvl 67 I am earning 125/180 exp. Anyone else notice this increase in earned exp?

I thought this was common knowledge.

Yeah, EXP is scaled in a lot (all?) of the Firebreak missions.

[Golto]

The usual trend is to lower exp gained the higher your lvl though in games that don't have static exp earned.

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Yeah, but they decided to increase it, which really makes sense.

Agree. To actually increase the exp. is kinda unheard of. I guess I'll be playing more with my alt till the end of the event.

Thanks for the observation.

Thanks for the observation as well. I don't consider anything common knowledge when hardly a single topic has talked about this, until this one. It truly is an unusual thing because people would expect EXPs, from same monsters, to drop if they don't remain the same, as you level.

Glad I helped some people out with some info. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

didnt notice it myself (i rarely pay attention to the numbers), but i did feel like i was leveling up quite fast doing these FB missions.

these missions are seriously rediculously rewarding.

[Soukosa]

The stats (except STA) of the enemies in the FB missions is increased by 30%, including experience. The labs ones seem to have experience boosted even more on top of that. I guess what Golto noticed explains how it works.

[Golto]

I do remember reading that the monsters did have more exp in Fire Break missions but nothing about increasing exp as your character lvl increases. I gained another lvl today and it increased by 4 exp for non-kill but dmg exp.

Anyone know if the netcafe missions in Japan that has altered exp does the same increase exp as lvl increases thing?

The way I looked at it...

It seems that you get an xp penalty for being 30 levels or more below the enemy, the penalty is less and less as you get closer to -30, at which point you get the normal rate. Under normal conditions this doesn't happen often but it's not restricted to special event missions, as I recall my xp going up from 75~76 in Relics S2(75 req, 106 monsters). And well most missions usually are set up so the monsters aren't over 30 lvls higher. Finally, most of the people doing S2 were probably at or near the level cap anyways and wouldn't notice.

[Golto]

Thanks Ceresa that seems to be the answer.

[CelestialBlade]

At least this isn't something like Everquest II, where you don't even GET EXP if something is like 10 levels below you.

After reading this thread I starting paying more attention to how much EXP I was getting in Urgent Orders. On those same ageeta I was getting 138/198 at level 71, but it didn't increase any when I got to level 72. The ageetas are level 103, aren't they?

At any rate, even if the numbers aren't perfect this makes some sense the way Ceresa explained it.

I can't see EXP anymore...so I have no clue
