MM Exp after the patchFollow

All:

Alrighty folks - Sony's thrown down the glove. This line is in the patch message for 9-21-05.

"- Adjusted the experience reward for some of the monster missions to be more in line with the time it is taking to complete them."

So, please post your resulting experience in this thread from monster missions so we know which ones have been uber-nerfed and which ones are only kinda nerfed. Please include: The zone, quest giver, and quest name, your level, class and race (to take exp penalties into account), your actual experience, and whether this is real experience or AA experience.

For a comparison, here's what I was getting pre-patch.

West Commlands, Kathi Norman, "A Griffon's Plight", L67, Iksar, Necromancer: 6.5% real xp, 1.1 AAs

Lavastorm Mountains, A Weary Traveler, "Defending the Lair", L67, Iksar, Necromancer: 6.5% real xp, 1.1 AAs

Last night I did the one that starts in Butcherblock and sends your group to Freeport as pirates and your supposed to loot and pilage the city.

I did it twice last night and each time I got exactly 18% regular xp at level 65. I don't know what it pays today.

The mushroom MM in Undershore gave me 4% real xp and 12% aa xp (50/50 split) at level 55.

Basically, that's 1 blue xp and 3 blue AA. I quit after the first one and did a DoN and some hunting in PoV, where the xp was much better for the time and effort involved.

At 44 I got about 4 blue from the BB pirate mission.

At 45 (I'd leveled from the pirate one) I got about 4 blue from the Nektulous fairy mission (if I remember correctly).

Last night I did the orc one in nek forest a few times. At level 65 I was getting 14% reg xp and when I dinged 66 I was getting 7% reg xp.

Seems like, on average, MM exp really hasn't moved much. Perhaps a bit less xp on the lower end, but that's to be expected (should a L19 get most of a level in one mission? up to sony, I guess)

For reference, Grimleaper, your cut in exp after hitting 66 is normal; it takes about twice as much xp to get through 66 as it does getting through 65; feels like hitting the 50s all over again, and only seems to get rougher the higher we go. Ah well, gotta make it feel like we accomplished something when we finally hit 70, right?

I tried the Werewolf mission last night and it seems to be bugged. When we got the mission it only let us be warriors or so it seemed. If you click on the monster to select on the window to the right its says disciple. When you zone into the mission you get the monk aa's but if you look at the action menu (alt M) you get the warrior abilities. No mend and no FD. The mission was extremely difficult without these and after about an hour we finally decided to quick. Has anyone else noticed that?

The werewolf mission is uber nerfed. It's about 3x as hard and takes a really long time to do now.

Last nightt I did the nek/orc mission again. The first time I got the normal 7% reg xp(66 shaman) but the item in the chest was different. Usually there's the standard 95 hp cloth slippers but this time an aug dropped.

The second time I did it the cloth slippers were in the chest but this time I got 14% reg xp. Go figure.
