    well this wasn't needed in any way unless people complained it didn't give enough xp

    So you're saying only casuals want more or less xp? "Serious" players don't need xp adjustments? Perhaps I missed something.

    You don't get any credit for the Dolmens the second time around, just the Mob Exp. So keep farming those dolmens.

    EDIT There does seem to be small amount of Exp given now on repeated Dolmens, about a 1/10th of the amount you get the first time.

    BTW, if you really want to farm Dropped Set Items, Guild Kiosks are a much more successful way to do that if your trying to avoid leveling. You don't level from shopping.

    Find the in-game book "Almalexia and the Mudcrab", read it, realize how the game developers have known this and referred to it looooong before those posts were even a twitch in the OPs typefingers... ;)

    As for XP gains, there has been a raise all across the board. Yes, it means characters will end up overlevel a lot just by playing the basics. It also means the so-called "dreary veteran rank grind" many people complain about will be of so much shorter. And c-points will come faster throughout cadwells too. All together, its a win, I'd say.

    It's not really all across the board, it's only Public Dungeons, Veteran Quests and Craglorn that have had XP increases (none of which account for an increase in XP at dolmens). Nothing about XP for mobs, standard quests, levelling zones or PvP.

    Hate to point this out.... but at level 11 you are going to out level it VERY VERY quick regardless of any small XP increase on a Dolmen.

    You only get XP on the dolmen 1st time around anyway.

    Gaining levels at your level is v v v quick..... sets are virtually pointless as they will be out levelled in no time again.

    Just suggesting that spending time farming for gear at level 11 isn't going to be getting you anywhere.... you may be just better off questing if that's your thing... or if not then just grinding.

    Last night I did a Vet7 Dolmen in Grahtwood that I had already completed, I was at Vet12. AUI reported a small amount of Exp when closing the final pinion after killing the Boss wave. It was about 1/10th the Exp that I would have gotten for the first time clearing. It was not much Exp, about 50% more than you get opening a chest.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Something has definitely changed in the last patch. My templar main has been stuck on the last dolmen general for months, but it was just a waste of time trying to hunt that one down since I would (quite understandably) get no xp at all for doing a non-vet dolmen as a vet, so I just gave up on that particular achievement.

    After the patch, I tried a few dolmens while waiting in the pvp queue and to my surprise, was getting xp at the end. To clarify, I was doing level 30-ish dolmens in Malabar Tor with a V15 character. Before anyone gets on my case, in these areas I will step back and just heal if any lower levels show up so they get the kills, xp and pinions. But even just healing, I now end up with something like 11,000 xp with enlightenment. I was surprised, but not complaining, as at least I have some incentive to keep trying for the general executioner achievement.
