    What does "per event" mean?
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Unsure... I'm guessing they plan on some sort of mini events on a regular basis, but that's all it is: a guess. :) This sounds like a good compromise between helping new players catch up to hit the veteran ranks (and once removed, level cap) but not compromising the balance of the game by allowing champ xp to be affected.

    Is it the moment getting the XP, i.e. turning a quest? In other words, you would never get more that 10% of the XP needed to go up a level?

    But then wouldnt a dungeon quest already give you more than 10%? Does that mean the pot only works on normal quest?

    Confusing tooltip once again.

    So they are giving us pots to gain more xp during levels 1-50, but not during the most tedious part of the game, i.e vet ranks?

    Why couldn't they have just made them so they didn't affect cp's, yet still work in vet?

    I would still like to see something like LoTRO's Stone of the Tortoise, that stops/strongly reduces the gaining of XP as long as it is active... Either that, or XP gain in lower-Level zones reduced by 50%, and vet Level ranks increased by the same... Altho I Guess that'd cause a Riot...

    Wow, they really did! Provided this isn't a second item, they've taken the feedback and ran with it. Baffled on the "per event" thing though.

    I guess explanation is very simple:
    Is for non veterans only
    for 1 hour you got 50% more exp from all sources, but exp boost gives no more then 10% of your level.
    also after one hour you can use it second time and it starts new "event" (strange word used)

    Yeah the 10% EXP limit is strange, because I've definitely gotten more than that several times in low levels.

    Quite surprised they chose my favourite solution, though (doesn't work with veteran characters). This will help people get to endgame once VRs are removed, but won't actually influence progression once max level is reached (which is quite trivial anyway). I could live with this.

    What i find strange is that its double capped.
    100k EXP Bonus-EXP max per potion, but only i you aquire it in an hour. It would have been simpler with "For your next 200k EXP you get additional 100k exp"

    I didn't read the comments, but probably some people are against this.
    I am to - for first characters in each alliance. But if I have, for example, VR 10 Argonian and want to create a Nord, I wouldn't want to play all those same quests all over again so I'd use something like this to make it faster.

    That's really great news :smile:
    Just a small 'buff' for people who already know the story and want to level up another character faster :smile:
    This way doing only quest lines, that reward with skill points will allow you to end zone on almost same level as usual :smile:

    Because vet ranks will be removed at some point anyway :). I would be perfectly happy with them lowering the XP per vet rank in the meantime though.

    Looked like chinese without chinese character set installed (EDIT: or any other non-standard character set. Arabic, Farsi, Pali. Kanji, take your pick). Basically a lot of empty lines with an occasional special char sprinkled in. And in the middle a quote of Attorney's original picture. Not the whole post, only the picture.

    Anyways, that must have been the most sophisticated pocket-mistype I have ever seen. Way beyond even my colleague, who managed to call the chinese time service including correct country code and everything.
