Bug: Inconsistent Experience Gain while tradeskilling

[slippery]

As a 40 Alch I was creating Superb Caustic Poison and Superb Hemotoxin to level. When I did one combine for 10 of either of these I got about .5% experience. However, on the next combine that would make it a stack of 20 I instead gained 2.5% experience. If I create 10 Superb Hemotoxin for .5% and then 10 Superb Caustic Poison which don't stack I will only get .5% for the Superb Caustic Poison. When I finish the stack of Superb Caustic Poison I get the 2.5% experience, but then right after that when I go back and complete the Superb Hemotoxin stack which I had started first I only get the .5% experience. This is with vitality and has been /bugged <div></div>

Yeah, definitely something weird about XP in tradeskills.

I noticed something similar w/ adventure XP (sry not trying to derail your thread, but it is similar).  This was slightly different in that XP kept jumping around.  E.G. say I was at 39.6%, killing mobs that give 0.2% per kill.  I glance over after another kill and I'm at 41.2%, ok [Removed for Content] over?  Kill another mob, then i get the mini ding and i'm at 40%.  It kept doing this every couple mobs or so, it'd jump forwards and backwards, it was very inconsistant.

The appearance of a drop in experience is actually the result of rounding.  The 31.5 really is 30.5; however, SoE changed the code to make the whole number round.  The tenth's are still accurate.24.4 = 24.425.3 = 25.326.1 = 26.127.0 = 27.028.9 = 27.929.7 = 28.730.6 = 29.631.5 = 30.531.4 = 31.432.3 = 32.333.2 = 33.234.1 = 34.135.0 = 35.036.9 = 35.937.8 = 36.838.7 = 37.7<div></div>

Yeah I figured the extra % was still in there when I saw it go up 1.9% - still something should be done to make it accurate.

I killed a heroic mob and got a message about getting double XP but I didn't get any more than I would for a regular mob of the same level.<BR>
