Is the percentage of XP reduction on Light Blues like the secret ingredient in Big Macs? Or is it possible to divulge? :)

If you have any evidence that this was actually true on Live, circa 1999, I'd love to see it.

At 32 I was gaining xp from green Ogres in West Karana. I thought it was probably due to the fact I was grouped with a level 31 druid at the time and those mobs were Light Blue to him. Ogre Shaman were still Blue and Goonda was yellow to me at 32.

Once again I ask you. Do you have evidence that it wasn't true?

You keep nerfing stuff saying "prove me wrong". You seriously need to start posting evidence that proves you right before you nerf it.

Exp has always worked the same when considering the level disparity between player and mob as it has been when it came to group exp rules. It's very easy to test at lower levels.

a level 8 player can get exp with a level 12 player but not a level 13.
A level 12 player can get exp from a level 8 mob but not a level 7 mob.

It's that simple. In classic this used to be high end green. For simplicity sake they changed it to light blue. Honestly is was super dumb for them to ever use green to represent exp and exp-less mobs. Made no sense at all.

As late as yesterday, "hi" green cons in Unrest were still giving XP.

High green cons everywhere give exp if you are high enough level. I remember getting exp off Cyclopses right after I dinged and they became green. The amount was minuscule but it was there. Pretty sure all zones will give you an insignificant amount of exp on mobs that just turned green.

Hey Buma! Love the server. The heart spiders in guk give my lvl 20 enchanter xp even when they are green. Tho I've only killed a few of the green ones. Gorrbasher the 23 sk was bogarting the spiders last night and most of them must be green to him. But spiders do drop cheap gems that sell for coin.

I guess I should mention that exp changes happened a few times over the years for various reasons. At one point they extended the blue mob range in order to help people rind AA's then they did a nerf on that.

The level cap being increased to 60 also came with changes to the way exp worked. At level 60 you could gain exp from mobs somewhere between 45 and 48 (conflicting sources).

Level 45 would seem to fit the following equation:

(current level) x 3/4 (current level)
This also matches the lowest level player you can group with and still share exp with them.

My guess would be that 45-48 in this case would be the exp penalty or light blue range.

No, I wasted 1 second reading the whole thing and about 5-10 posting this reply.
