![]() I came across a few threads complaining that the exp on handing in guard bracelets to Captain Linarius in North Karana for the Corrupt Guards quest was abysmal and not classic (saying that exp bar did not move in 8 hand ins of bracers, as said here).
I did some digging on why the exp is the way it was. Found this thread with message from Uthgaard here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...+guards&page=2 Quote:
So I started looking for evidence of this quest and found the following: https://web.archive.org/web/20030618...html?quest=373 Quote:

******* EXP Calculation: So looking at the exp gains from the in era post (@level 43, 15 bracelets = 2 blue bubbles), lets figure out how much exp gain that is. 2 blue = 8% experience. If the wiki values are to be believed, then by my calculations that means level 43 will take 7,044,700 experience points to complete (assuming this druid was NOT a halfling, I believe a Halfling gets +5% bonus... brain hurts to calculate that). 8% of 7,044,700 = 563,576 experience points. Divide that by 15 hand ins and you get roughly 37,572 experience points per hand in. To give people an idea of how lucrative this exp is, that is an 11% gain per turn in at level 11 (not too shabby). Could make this a lucrative camp on a new recycle server. For those doing the fact checking of this exp gain against the out of era post (12/19/2002) of half a blue per bracelet on a 35 ranger (no hybrid exp penalty in effect)... In P99 terms I show a level 35 requires 8,215,600 exp to complete their level (yes, more than level 43 due to hell level). 2% per bracelet = 164,312 per bracelet (much, much higher). HOWEVER, remember that hell levels were eliminated on 9/4/2002 and exp smoothed out. I do not know the exact formula to double check that. I only make mention so that people don't read those comments and boost the exp significantly higher than it should be. It is out of era as well, not sure if anything was tweaked with the quest since. ******* Conclusion: I just wanted to make the argument for a proper adjustment, I couldn't find any posts mentioning evidence of why it was so low on P99 other than people's testimonials and Uthgaard's reasonings. Hoping this is a compelling argument to fix. I apologize if any of this has already been updated (as I mentioned, can't log into game for some time now to test... just going off forumquest feedback).
