Can someone explain the xp bonuses on both P99 and R99 as well as the hybrid penalties.

Thanks!

Some searching on this very board might help you out. Also the wiki.

I already read the from 20% up to 50% then down to 20%

But I play a gnome necro and it doesnt feel like 50% increase over the classic game. What am i Missing?

based on what I read on the wiki and the site, the base xp bonus is 20%

Rogue gets a 9% xp bonus and warrior gets 10%

On top of that Halflings get 5%

So would a halfling rogue get 34% static bonus or is it 14% increase after the 20% is applied which is 16.8 so really it becomes a 36.8% static bonus

Racial/class xp mods mean you need more/fewer XP points to make any given level. Halfling 95% * warrior 90% = 85.5% xp required (compared to a human cleric who has no xp mods at all, for example).

The 20% xp bonus that is active to lure EQMac people in is probably truly a bonus on experience points earned per kill. Racial and class bonuses/penalties affect the number of xp points needed to make a level.

I recently started back. Very low amount of time to play but atleast I'm getting any time compared to none.
I had a 36 mage already but was getting.bored of it. While I wasn't able to play I've actually watched some of your HS solo videos, Tecmos, among other p99 videos. It has inspired me to start an enchanter with my main focus on mastering charm solo. I'm only level 4 now but when i hit level 12 i plan on starting it. Enchanter is one class I have never played before, or really had a desire to play but got the urge to create one. I am excited to play one now and level up. I want that challenge of soloing and not just sending in pet and healing it. Everytime before when I played I had aspirations to raid the end game but this time around I want to challenge myself with a class I've never personally played. I was always the warrior on the front lines instead of the caster in the background.

I also want to master jewelcrafting for income and researching so I don't have to buy those spells. The practice runes kind of confused me when i read about it though. I haven't actually started jc or research yet so I guess in time I'll understand.

When solo'ing, your pet takes 50% of your experience.

(Is it only if your pet does >50% of the damage or does it take 50% regardless of how much damage it does?)

Pets eat 50% of xp if you are solo AND it does more damage than you do. Outdamaging your pet gets you full xp and you never lose xp to a pet in groups even if the pet does all of the damage.
