Can we get Clarification on the new ZEMs?

[zaneosak]

Are these actual increases by a certain % as stated from their original level or are these what the new ZEM bonus actually is.

I find the latter much more likely and people are editing the wiki with wrong information.

Splitpaw for Example had a ZEM of 90 (20% bonus) where as now it said in the post to get a bonus increase of 67%. Is that 67% more than 90 ZEM? or just setting it's new ZEM to 67% bonus?

If you're increasing Splitpaw by an additional 67% of its already current 90 ZEM you just set it to that of Upper Guk's old ZEM (150) Aka Double XP. Splitpaw already had a pretty healthy ZEM imo and it was an underrated zone that more and more people went to these days.

Now I think it's much more likely that P99 staff is saying it's new ZEM is set to 67% which would be a ZEM of 125. Which is a little less than Unrest's original ZEM.

The only flaw in my arguement would be that means they are giving actual XP PENALTIES to some zones (like Lake of Ill Omen has a -13% Penalty in Kunark)

It would mean Highkeep has a XP Penalty of 25% , Can't be right I would say that's too harsh.

They won't tell you hard numbers. Best way is test it yourself.

I'm not asking for the numbers.

i think it used to take like 10 mobs to get to level 2 in a newbie zone with a 75 modifier. seems like it could be an easy way to test it

I don't believe that's how project 1999 ZEMs work. The list I've seen is shown as ALL zones are at 100% and the ones who actually have the experience % boost (ZEM) go up from there. I.e mistmoore with 120% ZEM so in theory MM gives an additional 20% experience. Im not sure where youve read your info or if my information is wrong.

EDIT I just noticed there was a patch lol.

Apparently they changed it because Rogean reasons (should be a new sitcom).
In short, they did something not classic again.

Enjoy it if you want easy levelling.

I can tell you at lv 35 on my pally it is way faster in paw then sol a king room. And this is with way fewer mobs. Paw knolls take longer to kill and hit way harder but my exp is moving way faster. In about 2 to 3 hours in paw I gained 2 yellows at 35 and this is with train downtime.

Does it really matter that much? When high ZEM zones were full, I would form groups for other - lower ZEM zones and we got Exp much like normal, the difference didn't seem big enough to warrant ONLY Exping in high ZEM zones.

It looks to me like people put too much emphasis on these ZEM values, would you rather sit around on a list, or wait for a camp to open - or just go somewhere else where there are plenty of camps open and get some Exp for you and your group?
