Experience Per Mob

[eqravenprince]

I'm level 41 killing level 30 blue con mobs. I assume the mob turns green at 42, but still gives experience. So does that mean the mob gives only 50% of the experience it was giving at 41 cause it now cons green at 42? Also, how long does a mob continue to give experience? It is 1.5 times your level, so a level 40 mob will give experience all the way to 60?

Thanks, I had seen that, it's pretty vague. It does not say whether or not I will get experience at 42, my assumption based is that I will based on prior experience after a mob turns green. Also it says 50 or 25% but no real formula, guess I could test it out. Also, if you look at the wiki page for "consider" levels 9-40 had a 2nd green section which was pretty reliable for determining if I got experience. So maybe there isn't dark green con message for determining if I will get experience at level 42.

Wiki is also pretty wrong about con ranges as you approach higher levels.

In any event, killing greens isn't worth doing for experience, period. You don't need to know the specifics on it, I would lean way more towards 10-25% of their original XP once they're green.

Quadding a pack of green wyverns or two won't move the XP bar, but having a single blue mob in that pack does. The difference in xp gain from a blue and green con mob is enormous. Really you should only be killing green mobs in an effort to get more blue mobs to spawn.

The experience calculator that was created for Green back in the day doesn't seem to indicate this. And based on my leveling experience the calculator seemed accurate. There were times when I'd actually level faster killing high greens because it was more efficient and easy because of the camp I was at and high greens only required like 10% more kills to level than low blues.

I'd also take high greens in a zone with a high ZEM than hard blues in a low ZEM area.

Thats why you stay in warrens / perma / CT / paw as long as possible.

Leveling from 51-60 this was extraordinarily not true. I quadded wyverns and suits for ages. The moment you start seeing greens you start seeing inconsistent XP because greens barely provide XP.

At 59 quadding suits of sentient armor, there's about a 50/50 shot each spawn will be green, and they're only one or two levels below being blue if they are. I would typically con all 4 before pulling. In one unlucky streak I had 3/4 greens for each pull and it took 4 quads to get 1%. In contrast, 2 quads of 3/4 blues would give me 1% regularly.

6 blues and 2 greens gave me 1%, 4 blues and 12(!) greens gave me 1%. The rate of 4-5 greens to equate to a single blue kill has been pretty consistent to me since like level 35 when I started quadding. I saw similar results at gnolls, spirocs, bloodgills, etc.

-Edit: Sure, in high ZEM zones where a few greens might equate to one outdoor blue, maybe this is totally fine, but that just means a single low blue is substantially more xp anyways.
