Still NO XP for Exploration? Really?

Inco

Come on ZOS! Still not fixed? Why have a trait that can't be used after VR1?

I didn't notice any XP gain when finding the new areas of Craglorn. Hope that's not the case, but doubt it is still.

VR+ only gets xp from quests and killing enemys

I wonder if still gets skill XP from explorations, but not char XP (unless one is under the max VR level of 14)

Inco

Yea... just kind of stupid that feature is part of a "TRAIT" in gear that doesn't get used beyond level 50. I know it's really MINOR to complain about, but still makes no sense we don't get XP for a game that claims to reward you for more exploration and "Go see what is over there..." approach.

As I understand it vet levels only come from Veteran Points, and exploration only rewards exp, which is still needed to level skills.

Exploration will help you raise Abilities. I'm VR8 and am raising weapons I don't use by wearing them as my primary weapon whenever I come to new areas. The discoveries all give me exp on the Abilities.

I assume you equip a weapon you don't use, just before you collect your quest points, yes? I'm leveling destruction staff this way. I've never used it but am at level 27 just by carrying it into new places, and collecting my quest rewards while it's equipped. I might never use it, but the three Weaps skills I do use are maxed, so what the heck, free leveling...

No... I'm talking about you walk into an area you have never been in before and discover it. In Pre-VR1 zones you get XP for opening or finding that area. After that its stupid. You have an "Exploration" Trait you can add to your gear to increase exploration bonus. Except after VR1 its completely useless and my complaint is ZOS screwed the pooch on that one. Should be allowed in VR1+ zones to get something.

the gains from the exploration trait is negligible even at low levels. I used it on some alts and it had way worse returns than using training.

I like that it's there for added flavor, but it's always been useless.

My skills still get xp from exploration/treasure chests as a VR6
