Shared group xp penalties
In a group a druid told us that, months ago, P99 removed the hybrid xp penalty shared among the group and replaced it with a 5 level difference penalty. If a person is 5 levels below a higher level in the group, then the exp is cut and goes to the higher level or something...
Is this true? I've searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks! | ||

I've heard this rumor before, and evidence could not be produced by that person.
His main is probably a ranger. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's shared. The 5 level exp is a misunderstanding. I believe that exp earned is based off the amount of exp you have, so higher level players get a larger share of exp.
Grouping with an equal level iksar SK is better than a mage 5 levels higher than you (in terms of how much exp per kill you get).

The XP penalty is still in game. People who have these penalties get a larger share of the XP pie when it's calculated. Also, XP is handed out proportionally to your total amount of XP your character has (at least, this is how it was explained a few months back in a very well-written post). This way, higher level players get more of the XP allocation. Also, this is how the racial / class penalties grab up more XP.. They had to gain more XP to level i.e. a lvl 30 Troll SK has a lot more accumulated XP than a lvl 30 halfling rogue. So yes it true that in some cases, a higher level player takes less XP from the pool than a player who is same level as you but with huge racial / class penalties.

I have a related question. I've heard that EXP is calculated based on the highest level player, i.e. if a monster is light blue to the highest level (and hence only gives 1/2 or however much of its normal EXP) then everyone in the group gets less EXP for it, not just the person it's light blue to. Is this accurate?
