XP scaling and DP's

[lrhude]

Im just curious if anyone else has noticed a huge disadvantage of the current DP System.

Right now these are my skills and levels.

100 - Harvesting
42 - Melee
42 - Off Magic
23 - Deff Magic

if i die right now i get 50k DP

When im foraging off my dp i get 10x my xp per forage towards my Death points.

Last night i was trying to leveling up my Deffensive magic with a group and we got several adds and wiped. As we were working off my DP's i realized that using Deffensive magic doesnt give me 10x my xp gained against my DP's. 1200 xp from a kill was returning 2600 xp against my death points. It took me 20+ kills to get rid of my DP's while most of my group had less than 10k DP to start with and were done in 4 or 5 kills.

Is the xp conversion factor towards DP's based on your current level, or is it based on a ratio of your current level against your highest level?

I dont mind the fact that DP xp Scales the more you level. I just dont like how i have to use my highest skill to clear DP's because of the huge hit i take if i try to use a lower skill. I get so little xp towards my Dp's with any lower skill its just not a viable option.... I can go harvest 5 nodes to clear a DP or spend an hour and a half or more with a adventure group to clear the same one while not gaining any xp in my adventure school. Was just very frustrating.

(skill level used/10)*xp gained = dp paid off.

100 harvesting/10 = 10 * 1kxp = 10kdp
42 melee/10 = 4.2 *1kxp = 4200dp
42 off magic = same as melee
23 def magic/10 = 2.3*1kxp = 2300dp

Thats kinda what i figured but i wasnt 100% sure.

Are Dp's figured about the same way then?

500 x Highest Level

im at level 100 with 50k a death?

Well thats exactly how it works. DP recovery is based off the skill you use and you get more back for your highest skill then your lower ones.

If you have a combat skill higher your prolly better off. 2 to 4 pulls of 3K MOBs usually will rid you of DP.

If your harvest is higher and your in a combat group, go harvest it off before going back to combat. Thats what several of the harvesters do in my guild.
