Pets and XP sharing when solo

[Corydon]

Hi guys,

I came to this server a couple days ago and really love it! I had a solid 12 years break from EQ and now look forward in leveling a few toons.

Since I like pet classes, I have a few questions. I'll make this easy for you - please state true/false for the following scenarios (all considered to be in solo play i.e. not in a group):


a) You need to do more damage than your pet to the mob you are fighting or you only receive half of the experience points the mob yields.

b) You lose XP when the pet does the killing blow.

c) You just need to do 1 damage to the mob - you still get full XP when your pet does the other 99%.


I understand c) is true while in a group. But I would like to know the answers for solo play.

I am absolutely not in a rush and I am taking it easy. However I still enjoy getting good XP per kill [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

PS.
For those of you wondering -- I know this is a multiplayer game and I play as much in a party as I can - mainly with my mate. But I am more online than he is so I also am playing alone sometimes - on top I live in EU time zone and most of the players of this server seem to be in USA time zones [You must be logged in to view images.
