<DIV>I've spent the better part of a week working through the first 50% of level 30.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tonight in about two hours I went straight through the part ftom 50% to 80%, for 30% of lv 30's XP gained in one evening.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A single yellow kill was giving me about 1% XP; two mobs of three white gained me slightly more than 2%. I fought solo for a while, and then joined up and played duo with a lv 31 Dirge for an hour or two. I was hunting in the exact same areas I've been in for the last several days, and killing the same things. In fact, blue and green kills and quests in Nek were the first thing I noticed shooting my XP through the roof, before I even popped off to Zek and started killing orcs. I only finished four quests tonight, too, and they were all old blue ones that wanted me killing grey or green creatures, except for one white quest in Zek (that also gave a very nice 1g 8s reward). </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I mentioned it briefly in the Test channel and several people said they were noticing more XP than usual... but several others also said they weren't.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm never going to complain about getting a burst of speed to finish off one of those difficult pain-in-the-[expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] levels that take forever (27 was the worst; 23 was no prize, and 30's not exactly charming), but I have to say that my XP gain tonight, based on the previous 30 levels I've played, really seemed disproportional to what I was doing.</DIV>
