Quick question on exp pen.

[Estu]

The penalties are spread evenly throughout the group. If you have six troll SKs, the penalty is just the troll SK penalty (68%) with the full group bonus added on (10%), so it'll be something like a 58% penalty. If you have a group of five wood elf druids (no penalty or bonus) and a theoretical race+class that has a 60% penalty, then everyone has a 10% penalty, and as always the group bonus is factored in. I haven't heard of any recent P99 patch removing penalty sharing, but I'd be interested in any information/evidence about it. The premise of the penatly/bonus sharing is that everyone in the group should level equally fast, assuming you're the same level. I don't remember what's done when people of different levels are in the group, except that mob exp is calculated based on the highest-level person - so if it cons light blue to that person, you're gonna get reduced EXP from it.
