Game Mechanics: max exp per kill

In classic, the Hero Bracers quest was notorious for being an xp farm, even up in the 40s. Druids would just bind in Qeynos and kill the Mino Hero and turn in continuously. It was so much that they first nerfed the shackles so they were no-drop (are they droppable here? Perhaps that's another bug report) and then eventually nerfed the Hero's spawn rate. Here are just a few posts I could dig up about it. Some discrepancy in terms of how much xp you get around 32, but both show there's no 11% cap.

So, 4 blues is the awesome exp they said they got.

5 orange per level. 5 blue per orange. = 25 blue per level.
So, you could say each blue = 4%
Max they said they got was 4 blue per turn in (16%). If they are correct, this is decent evidence, but definitely not overwhelming.

The quest prior to it being nerfed to oblivion you could take 3 to 4 backpacks of tonic and level 1 into the 20's easy. each turn in was diffinitly more than 11 percent of level 1 toon.

By itself, this quote doesn't prove.. that they give more than 11%.

If 3 or 4 backpacks full of tonic.. assuming a backpack is a basic 8 slot and you had stacks in each slot of each backpack:

20(tonics)x8(slots)x3(backpacks) = 480 tonics.
11% per turn in = 9.09 tonics per level.
For level 20, you'd need ~180 turn ins. And possibly more (up to 480ish) if the exp degraded as you leveled, providing less than the 11% for subsequent turn ins.

I wrote this without doing any research of the original tumpy tonic quest, so feel free to research more.
