How many dark greens equals a blue?
 

Sitting here in FV, killing Drolvarg Snarlers, because someone has to. They are about 50/50 blue and dark green to me. What would you think the ratio is exp wise? Do I need to kill 2, 3, 5, 10 dark greens to equal a blue? I know there are a lot of factors, but what would you guess?

Should be 50% plus the XP difference from lower level mob (which goes up as level^2) less.

Not directly related to OP but dont you hate it when your doing well all night, feeling good, grinding a ton of mobs, then accidentally con one randomly you realize they all been conning green this whole time. God that bums me out.

You must not play an evil race. Conning everything, all the time, has been engraved in my soul.

My understanding is that if you are killing a BLUE 35 it will yield something like 91,875 xp, while a GREEN 34 will yield 86,700 x 50% penalty = 43,350 per kill so you'd need 2.12 green 34's to = 1 blue 35.

I'm not sure this is actually correct, but it seems to match with what I casually see in game.

Every mob has an experience value per level, but if it cons green to you, you have a 50 percent maximum penalty to what you can receive from the mob, however from what people have said to me, it's not necessarily thrown out. The XP you lose out on is up for grabs when in a group situation as the rest of the experience pie.

I don't know exactly how that works though.

Interesting, that's actually better than what I would have guessed. Seems like I'm getting much less than 50% per kill but so hard to tell.

The mysteries of EQ! I'd be happy with 50ish %. I mainly solo and that would mean I'm not wasting much time if I can kill a green in about half the time of a blue.

It is true, I usually play agnostic darkelf enchanters so yeah, I get around :p
