XP Cap on kills?

[jhaan]

Well, I completely understand a level cap. But I'm more curious about where that cap is. As we've seen from the color code when you target something, Green means you can take it, and blue equals your level. Well, I get 3K xp from a Growling Gingo and it shows up as green. I can also kill a Scowling Gingo which show up as blue (but just barely as I need 2 self heals during combat) also for 3K. So it would seem that you would never get the full XP for killing stuff at your level.

Now there's another big argument over whether Scowling Gingo's are even at my level if I have to self heal twice during combat. Have any of you guys gotten less than max xp by killing blue mobs?

You've got the color scheme for the con system wrong here Jhaan.

Level 0 = black
level 1 to 20 = light green
level 21 to 50 = dark green
level 51 to 70 = light blue
level 71 to 100 = dark blue
level 101 to 120 = light yellow
level 121 to 150 = dark yellow
level 151 to 170 = light orange
level 171 to 200 = dark orange
level 201 to 220 = light red
level 221 to 250 = dark red
level 251 or more = violet


Copied this from another thread on here. It's interesting and good knowledge to have.

And the gringos reference was on purpose. Me gusta la lengua de espanol mucho .. y tu? *sonrisa* Vive en Xalapa, Veracruz por siete semanas esta verano pasado. Fue muy interesante y encontre a muchos nuevos amigos.

I do believe the exp is divided among the people in the party, I do not know if there are any grouping bonuses given.

There are indeed bonuses given to groups and in fact a group of two can both easily (that being a very relative term) earn 3k xp if they fight right.

Someone charted the exact bonuses during FBT but that chart went away with the old forums.

each person in a party can get 3k off one kill. i don't really know the mechanics of it but i do know its possible. so exp is dealt out some other way than a creature just having a set amount of exp that is devided among its killers.
