Light blue mobs

[mistersuits]

What is the XP penalty/loss for light blue con mobs? Is it a flat percentage?

Light blue mobs were not classic EQ WTF?

Very good question.

Since there was no such thing as light blue con then we need to find out if those mobs back in classic would have been blue or green con. If they were blue con than there shouldn't be any sort of extra nerf to them.

They should simply be giving the same exp as the lowest blue con in the game was back in 1999.

Are there light blue mobs in p1999? If there are, that shit needs to be taken out, ruins my nostalgia.

High green still yielded experience.

And still does on this server as well as on live.

So that would leave me to believe that light blue mobs were in fact dark blue in classic and should not have an extra exp nerf. It's the exp yielding green con mobs that should (and already do) have the exp penalty.

If you find a green con mob that gives XP, let me know, as there shouldn't be any.

The con-ranges are client dependent, and are set much larger than they were in classic. As such, light blue mobs on this server shouldn't give any XP at all, as they are well below the level range of even the "high greens" that gave XP on live back in 1999.

Instead of making them give no XP and having to deal with the outcry, we dramatically reduced the XP that they give.

I remember killing a few greens that gave the "You have gained experience!" message. I don't remember where, and I may be misremembering...

At level 39 or 40, centaur archers were green (I think?) and giving exp.

edit: honestly the list is a bit too large for this thread.

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.
