Random Dungeon finder, low level, XP Cap?

Beardimus · June 2016

With the tasty 100k XP from doing a random dungeon. Is there a cap for low level players?

I.e. If you are L3 and do one, do you get 100k and skip up a few levels in one hit OR is it scaled / cap to a one level max?

I've heard mixed feedback and wanted to know

The amount of xp you get depends on your level. Also there is a minimum level requrement for using the group finder.
When I did random dungeons at ~level 30 the xp reward was close to one full level.

On a level 34: 30,645 XP

On a level 24: 22,666 XP

Pretty sure it's scaled down.

Lol, if you can take an L3 into a CP160 scaled dungeon and accomplish anything, you deserve some exp gains.

It would be kind of dumb if they do give out the full exp for low level character because all it would take is 23 Random Dungeons to reach L50 on a character. Then you would be left with an L50 that has no skills developed, or very few skills developed. And, any group you run with would have to carry you. Not help you out carry you, but actually put you on a stretcher and drag you through the dungeon carry you.

It only makes sense that it would be scaled just like all scaled exp is. But, enter the Group Finder looking for a Random and see what happens. If they do give out the full exp, well, it would be bad to put it nicely. Reason, you already level up too fast in this game, even without ESO Plus. You would end up running around overleveled on the mobs, so no loot, no exp, no leveling crafting, no fun.

You cannot take a Level 3 into the dungeon finder. I think the minimum level is 10. And it will limit what dungeons it will pick to the first Tier zones (FG, BC and SC) and ICP and WGT. Trust me, you don't really want to do ICP on a level 10.

The XP will be scaled down. The correct amount will show on the group screen when you select Random Normal Dungeon. It's still a good chunk of XP though. I've done it on my NB when he was in his 40s.

That makes more sense as L30 is 48,000 points to gain the next level. That still seems a bit high and could result in really outleveling the content you are doing. But, for those who are just grinding, it would be a nice way to get some quick Exp.

Well, that assumes the random dungeon finder even works for you. I haven't been able to get into a random dungeon since the patch, and that's as a tank spending hours in the queue. :P

If you are in a guild, you can form a full group and then queue up for a random dungeon. That's the easiest way I found of doing it.

But yeah, the group finder needs to be fixed (again!). It was quite fun doing random normals with PUGs before the patch.

Thanks guys I didn't realise it showed a different amount at the selection screen I'll get my guys to check that. Definitely makes sense, I concur with Nestors points on leveling speed.

And the L3 comment was just an example

so on 24 lvl you have 326,081 exp in total

and on 25 - 358,681

so almost a level for a dungeon
and how long it wll take? 20 min? 40?
still not profitable, when you can just grind one level in 12 minutes in CWC

Beardimus · June 2016

^ perhaps but not everyone likes grinding. Dungeon you actually get to play the game a bit.

But cheers for the replies guys! Perfect.

Uum, I kinda disagree with the carry part in case of some classes who have good survival abilities. Currently scaling makes you stronger than you would ever be normally.
The same character that had 37k health, 26k stamina and 20k Magicka at level 25 scaled up went to 28k health, 19k stamina and 17k magicka with cp160 version of the same gear.
