No xp from running away

[Suani]

<p>I'm a little unclear on the meaning of "This encounter no longer gives experience or rewards" when you run away from a mob.</p><p>When does this reset? In other words, when does the mob give experience again? When it dies? or is there a timer on this?</p>

<p>I believe it resets and gives experience/drops again once the mob's completely reset to it's original location and returned to full health/power.</p><p>This isn't quite as much of an exploit of multi-mob encounters as it might seem. The leash range (point at which the mob will break off pursuit and reset) is a lot longer once you've taken hostile action towards the encounter than when you've simply aggro'd them without engaging them.</p>
