P1999 pet xp today, experiences

martinrm4 · #1 11-05-2011, 04:13 AM

Im i interested on reading peoples experiences with the new pet xp system. The p1999 wiki pet guide was updated to say if your pet does 50% it grabs 75% xp.

As far As I Can read from these notes thats not exactly correct :

Before making updates, i World Line to har other Peoples view.

My experiences say that if a mage or enchanter pet or charmen mob does more than 50% dmg and is alive when mob dies, it grabs 50% xp.
But in a 2-person group this seems not to be the case - we get what seems to be full xp when in group.
Anyone else ?

Yes, june 10 2002 the new pet xp rules were i introduced on live, but these also contain a reference to the old rules.
"How is this different than the old way for non-Dire Charmed pets? In the old scheme, if a pet did more than half of the damage to a monster, it took half the experience reward. "

It doesnt mention any specifics though, such what about grouping? Grouping with more than 1 pet?

I am not sure how it is working but my 18 Mage is on hold for now. Big difference to me on XP now on it. Back to my Monk. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Need pet aggro fix, not really fair imo.

This is a really good point. It's tough to deal with classic pet xp without classic pet aggro (at higher levels w/ pets it's less noticeable, but still significant).

I'm glad this nerf went in before server release, I hope we see less mages and necros griefing newbies.

You say its unfair, but what exactly is the pet xp rules atm ?

I Think that you get normal xp when you group no matter hos much dmg your pet does, but would like some other opinions and experiences. Did everybody just drop playing pet casters ?

Server went from 98% mages to 95%. Confirmed.
