XP gains get cut since patch on PS4?

jakeedmundson · September 2016

Trying to level a night blade...currently at the start of level 7 yesterday. I just leveled a templar to 50 last week and xp gains were much different.
did 3 or 4 quests (2 were main story in wrothgar), went through a delve, killed multiple random mobs walking around wrothgar.
Only got me to half way through level 7. I remember these earlier levels going much quicker....

needed somewhere around 5k to level up to 8....noticed i was only getting 600 xp for quests. (which seems very low but i don't remember the exact number from before) I KNOW i was getting 500 + per kill earlier this week in rkindaleft and old orsinium....now only getting around 100-200.

Something change here? anyone else notice this or am i missing something and this is normal?

Well, they cut the xp gain in rkindaleft and old orsinium by 40% on pts patch notes. So its possible they intergrated that fix into the playstation 4 patch. I would not be surprised if they did this with xbox and pc. Its a nerf to the exp gains from it. Basically they don't want you to use those spots as fast powerleveling spots. They said they did it to make the xp in line with other locations. So pretty much they did a 40% nerf to the exp.

Well i hope they didn't cut quest xp... That would make a push to 50 very very very long. And grinding is no longer the best option? Are we stuck doing silver and gold again?

Well thats the bad news they did nerf it and they even confirmed it on the pts notes. As you see here exp for mob farming got nerfed, as for quest exp its possible they nerfed that as well.

Wasn't that planned for the Tamriel One update ? Because I didn't read anything about that in the latest PS4 patch notes.

That sucks... but at least if you use ambrosia potions or scrolls... it will be slightly grind-able still

Its very much possible they added it in early and forgot to mention it. They have done it in the past with certain farming locations. They don't want people to farm in just one location. They do tend to nerf locations if they feel they are being exploited or if they feel players are getting to much exp way to fast. They do have a tracker in game I believe that keeps track of how much exp a player gets and what mobs are being farmed.

Might just be a good idea to wait for One T. to grind... there will be plenty of new places that have potential for mass mob killing i suppose.

I imagine if they give good exp gains they will get nerfed as well. Only ones they possibly won't nerf are the grinding spots in imperial city since there is heavy risk involved with it. The vampires on Dc side give very good exp in the sewers. And I am sure other mobs also give very good exp. But I don't know if they nerfed them but I don't think they did and you can check it out if your up to possibly getting ganked or killed by enemy players.

Theres a good reason why a lot of folks don't like Gankers, they steal all the shiny tvs and also can really cause players pain in pvp areas.
I don't really pvp that much I might pvp more with the dueling system however. But yeah I don't go into cyrodill all that much there are times I will head in and do pvp but I suck at it. I guess the best I can do is basically heal lol.
