What are the rules for pet exp?

If I recall, its if pet does 51+% damage it gets 90% exp? Is that right? Didn't seem right on beta, but with the bonus I can't really tell.

What about in groups?

90%? Bloody hell.

What if your in group? Presumably you and the other person in the group have to do combined 51% dmg between you to get the max xp? (Which isnt hard im sure)

The 51% rule does not take effect while grouped.

In group it doesn't exist.

I don't know specifics on the 51% rule for green but I got the impression it was the same as blue so far. Not sure if that's 90% or how much.

If a pet does >50% damage, it receives 50% exp. Does not apply when player is grouped

That is the extent of the rule. Pretty straight forward. (if a pet does 100% of dmg, you still get 50% exp). Yes this is the same on Green Beta as on blue.

If your pet does 51% of the damage, then the pet eats 50% of the experience from the kill. You still get 50% of it.
If you do 51% of the damage, you get 100% of the experience from the kill.

Its if pet does more attributed damage than you, technically.

At low levels that pet taking half is still a net gain, since you'll be killing twice as fast, risking less deaths, and being less bound to your mana bar.

Just to be a dick, did we ever get confirmation that when there was NO pet penalty on Blue, that it was an error that duplicated something from live? Was there ALWAYS a pet XP penalty on classic? I cannot remember the classic application, but I know there certainly was not a pet xp penalty early on in Blue (pet could do 100% of the damage and you would receive 100% of the xp).

Ok, so I think I’ll be duoing at least then cause outdamaging a pet would be slower than just letting it fuck shit up early on.

I forgot how nasty those early pets are.

Dude, how much mana you think I got to go wasting? Also, that’s one pet per mob, which means lots of reagents.

By level 4, yes I’ll have a lot of bone chips, but I’m not gonna want to blow through them.

Seems expensive. Also, not medding enough to cast a pet each fight at level 4. 8+ sure, but I can outdamage my pet 8+.

I’ll just trying grouping 4+ anyway. Want to get me some gnome fangs.

this was something i tried testing on beta but 10x xp made it very hard to tell, since each mob was capping at granting ~10%/level

seemed like my charm doing full dmg gave me the same exp as when I broke it and finished a mob off myself. the difference certainly didn't seem like 90% - that would have been noticeable even when being blown out by the 10x multiplier

Unless I’m in a group with a healer, I always use charm to kill two mobs at once, or I just break it. I am
Probably wrong but I thought charmed pets also took more exp.

When you're high level Group with a low level character who is in zone that can't get exp due to level gap.
I think this works? Atleast thats what people say.

Is there any confirmation on this?

This is a huge deal for pet classes

I remember playing classic and snare kiting with pet doing all damage and getting full exp until the nerf, was a sad day.
