Belt Quest XP Reduced?

[Kohedron]

Something something "that's classic"

something something /list

It was probably too good before. I bought like 20 DF belts last week and got like 10% to finish level 24.

I wounder if they Nerfed the belts because low lvls would petition all the time how multiple high lvls are farming everything in Crushbone.

Lucky for me I did the belt trick on an alt prior to this nerf.

200 belts got me from lvl 2 to 14

Not sure how DF and CB compare, but I took my Cleric from 6 to 14 with about 200 of them.

Bump for Telin (if you don't mind, Telin). What was the evidence used to determine the classic rates?

I first use archives from Everlore, classic-era Zam comments, and Google groups before digging further when needed.

I'll give you one example that should be similar to P99:

Indeed. I am a Level 12 Cleric and for turning in about 12 belts, I get about a half a bubble of XP. Add to that, between 4 and 16 silver PER BELT and some low level armor or item oer belt also which I sell, this quest is VERY worthwhile for me.

And having Gate helps tremendously as an easy portal from Kaladim back to the Kelethin Orc Lift for more killing!

Interesting and thanks for responding. And I assume the staff just lives with the fact that the EXP per turn in may have fluctuated with different patches throughout the era (i.e. we just have to go with whatever the most recent classic era info that we have is).

Because of the popularity of this quest, there were multiple sources describing the experience earned. This quest was tested with multiple class and race combinations to agree to the research found. Most quests don’t have timeline adjustments on experience except for instances like the bread quest because the nerf was well documented.

Probably Allakhazam/Safehouse/Druids Grove archives, really the only forums still intact from 1999-2001.
