    I think it's 30% of the number required to gain the next level.

    If you gain more than the limit in a single event the rest gets lost.

    If you are asking about percent gain I do believe it is around 310%. For example you can stack Enlightenment with the Witches Festival XP boost of 100% and it also stacks with the Ring of Mara for another 10% and another 10% for ESO Plus and it stacks with Aetherial (whatever it's called, my brain is mush so early in the morning) for another 150% and it stacks with grouping (I think 2 to a group is max XP gain) and it stacks with a Crown XP scroll of which there are several.

    I think with the highest XP gain Crown scroll the percent gain is much higher than 310% but I read somewhere it caps around 310%. No proof though so just hearsay on that. I'm certain I have missed some information but I'm sure someone will come along with more correct information.

    The random dungeon reward is larger think its more than 40% of level. I have gotten 2 levels at once at end of dungeon once, think it was with 150% bonus. group dungeon quest also give serious xp.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
