How does the EXP System works 5 levels above?

ZeFeZ

If I'm a vet 11 and grind at vet 6 mobs do I still get exp?

Mighty_oakk

3 ranks or less 100% xp
4 ranks 75%
5+ ranks 30%

Good info, thanks.

I was wondering if that still worked in Veteran ranks. Thanks for the info.

MrGrimey

Yeah, what's the veteran rank rule and how do multiple allies hitting one mob work with so splitting?

I hate the way that works. Either give us xp for the kill or have the things ignore us as we walk by.

Agreed; my thought is that if the enemy can still effectively KO you, then that means it is still a threat, and there should be XP and loot for winning.

*If a level 1 enemy gives 1 xp, it should give 1 xp no matter what level the player is. Same if a VR1 enemy gives 150 xp, it should give 150 xp no matter the level of the player, higher or lower than the enemy.

*The loot should work this way as well, but after you eclipse an enemy by a couple levels, NOTHING drops, not even a single gold piece. Ridiculous.

If someone wants to run a level 1 area with their VR14, get only level 1 gear, and take FOREVER to level to VR15, let'em. I doubt anyone would, unless they were helping a friend, and then it's at least not worthless game-wise.

Play as you want?

I agree with you on that. You should get XP no matter what even if its minuscule.

That was the way it was in beta. A lot of people did exactly what you doubt anyone would. That's why it is how it is now.

I can understand a cutoff, like 10 levels difference, but like I said, if the enemy can effectively pose a challenge (particularly in large groups, like a Public Dungeon), NO XP or Loot for almost the same effort? The compromise should be better.

CaptainObvious

Experience gained per monster will change and I expect uproar when/if vet levels are removed.

Silver zones will no longer gain experience when you hit 60 if they simply make v10 60. So people will actually lose flexibility by dropping vet.

frusrated

I think its good where its at high lvl characters would be running around everywhere one hitting mobs and make it hard for the low levels to gain lvls at a faster pace, playing the same quests over and over can be more boring then grinnding at times

And at the cutoff point the mob should ignore the player unless the player instigates the mob.
