Unanswered Questions

• What is the exact mechanic for determining what the upper and lower bounds are for your groupmates to receive experience?
• How is taunt affected by the mobs level relative to yours?

If you know the answers to any of these and can provide evidence, please let me know.

and reserved once more, just because I saw how short the character limit is on posts.

Sky + Paineel were the last two things added before Kunark.

Kith Forest having high level undead was finally triggered after Plane of Hate opened. Yet are in game now, so be warned when travelling from WC to Highpass.

Shadowed Men mobs are currently in game but were not added in real classic until after SolRo Temple opened up.

Boats do not work, translocators in place instead.. hail them for keywords.

Box of Abu Kar has a chance of dropping on any 35+ level mob, will be gone when Fuzzly Tinkleberries (or whatever the gnome merchant in SolA castle was named) goes in to sell the Tinker bags.

That's all I got to add off the top of my head.

I don't know if this has been answered yet, but in a given group, the lowest member must be 2/3, rounded up, of the highest level to receive experience. The highest level must also receive an experience gained message in order for the lowest level to get experience.

I believe there is a minimum of a 5 level swing, meaning a lvl 1 could group with a lvl 6 and still receive exp.

For example:
A level 10 can group with a level 15 and get exp.
A level 15 could group with a lvl 22 and get exp, but not level 23.
A level 40 can group with a level 60 and get exp.*

*The 60 must be able to receive exp from the mob being killed in order for the level 40 to receive experience. As in, a level 40 can not be grouped with a level 60 that proceeds to slay mobs in Guk Bottom, as most all of those mobs are hard green to the 60; not granting experience to either.*

The 2/3's Level Rule has been around since I can remember playing (early 2000). Everyone I ever played with seemed to know about it. I remember being level 34 and grouped with a 51 that AFK PL'd me in Dreadlands forever ago. Moreso, I have been level 40 and grouped with a level 60 in Splitpaw on Blue Server and received no exp on kills, even though they conned blue to me.
