another XP question

[Siclone]

<p>Anyone know how XP is distributed as far as group sizes.</p><p>In other words, If I am in a group of 2 (both the same level) and kill a equal level ^^^  do I get the same XP I would have gotten if there was 6 of us of the same level killing the ^^^?</p><p>I know there is a group bonus in EQ1 but I am not sure how it works here.  Say Mob  x worth  1000 xp, so if there was 2 of us do we each get 500 and if there was 3 of us do we get 333 each and so on and so on</p><p>Or is it regardless of group size, everyone gets the same amount of xp for each kill? </p><p>Thanks for any info </p>

<p>No one knows.</p><p>The devs won't talk about XP.  Probably because it is [Removed for Content].</p><p>Any other response you see here will be complete conjecture, based on some random testing, those tests will have too many factors that can change to be considered useful.</p><p>My general 'feel' is that less players yields more per person, but that is random conjecture. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>The devs have posted on the xp issue before.  It isn't [Removed for Content] but it is kind of confusing.  The xp is calculated due to different factors.  If you have 3+ in a group, you do get a group bonus.  This was changed because people were finding XP more efficent in duoing or just soloing.  You also get a bonus if you are killing mobs at a fast rate.  So, if you are chain pulling, you will see your XP go up.  Certain mobs also give higher xp depending on their location.  Mobs that are in harder places like at the bottom of CT might be worth more than the equivalent mobs in the middle of the Feerrott.</p><p>This is probably why people who try to determine xp amounts through experimentation end up getting really confused.  Many factors go into xp amount.  </p>

<p>While they have posted groups of 3 or more get 'some kind of bonus' what is that .0001% or 100% who knows.</p><p>We don't even know (many suspect that we don't) if all classes level with the same amount of XP.</p><p>so a zerker and templar always duo together, never play without each other, they never group with anyone else, 1 will level faster.  or will they?  We flat don't know.</p><p>they have mentioned that mobs get bonuses for placement, special abilities, yada, yada, yada, but again is that .0001% or 100% who knows.</p><p>I haven't ever seen the 'fast rate' one, but I miss a lot, espicially now on these crappy jforums.</p>
