Pet exp penalty

[Roth]

What happens if a level 40 groups with a level 1? Does their pet still take 50% of the experience?

I'd think you would be more worried about the level 40 causing all your xp to drain into a void of nothingness than the pet xp. But lets just say you did get xp. Your pet would still take 50%.

A level 1 grouping with a level 40 would be like one of those DIVIDE BY ZERO situations.

Nah, opposite situation. I'm the level 40 wanting to know if I can get rid of the pet exp penalty by inviting the level 1.

[Wallicker]

Just invite the lowest possible level halfling warrior/rogue/Druid possible to leach as little exp as possible while you kill its a win win for you both and have them go sell loots for PLing them.

You may have to test it to find out, OP.

If true, you could have a friend log in a level 1 and group with you and then AFK all day, allowing you to solo without the pet eating any exp. I don’t know whether this would work. I don’t know whether the game would count you as “grouped” since you’re not grouped with a player within exp range.

You can group with someone, not be in the same zone, and the game only checks if you’re in a group, bypassing the pet taking any xp

[Dolalin]

In classic, the level 1 would still steal a share of the XP, it would just disappear into the ether. On p99, dunno.

In classic, the pet would steal a full share of the XP if it did 50%+ damage grouped. On p99, I suspect it would steal nothing.

Unfortunately, no one that I've asked seems to know the answer.

I literally answered your question. You can have a group with someone else who’s not in zone, the game does a check to see if you’re grouped, and you get full xp.

Has been tested.
To count as grouped, you need to be in range to get exp. Not in a different zone....

The problem is some people have told me that this was already fixed. So I don't really know if this is still even in the game.

For reference this thread https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261147

proves you wrong.

[Wallicker]

Someone needs to group a lvl 1 with a high level mage and kill guard Chopin 3min spawn with just the pet in highkeep. Try 10kills with lvl 1 and 10kills solo pet doing 100% of dmg. Could also test on hermit in SK 1min respawn. Would take less than an hr and then I can make bank on my alts by offering to group with soloers in highkeep if they let me loot and sell and keep 80%

You must not be someone he asked, which is what he said.

[Phaezed-Reality]

the out of zone thing was fixed from my recollection on red99 quite a long time ago, but good way to find boxers lol.

Or, if I'm killing in rivervale I pay a lowbie 30p to sit in my party? Not that complicated.

You should consider reading the actual posts in the thread before replying.

Also, sorry about quoting you specifically, I just really don't like being accused of being a boxer randomly with no basis.

He invited an active player (me) to cancel out the xp penalty in a duo like 5 hours ago, we are gapped by like ten lvls. Don't be so quick to assume a person is boxing, if he was would he have to ask this question? Wouldn't he already know? K, thanks, bye.

Pretty sure this is wunine tryks or ashkara on teal. Basically it's easily proveable that it's a real person, you high iq individual.

[Hellfox]

I'm Wunine and I have an account since 2011 b/c I have a MAG that I leveled on blue years ago. I'm not going to doxx myself to prove we're not the same person, but you can all go take a flying leap.

[DMN]

There was a period were several different "tricks" worked. Most got patched out eventually though.

1. group with gimp, any other zone. Fixed pretty quick. Might of even still been the beta, can't remember.
2. group with gimp whowon't get exp, same zone.
3. Group with gimp same zone, make sure mob dies outside of exp range of gimp.
4. Still worked and always worked, but it involves a lot of effort on the gimps part. Won't share it though.

Do you know if the second one still works?
