Increased Quest XP Holiday Weekend! 11/25 - 11/30

On Wednesday November 25th we will be increasing the amount of XP earned on all quests by 50% until Monday November 30th.

Since we had done many increased XP weekends in the past, we thought having some incentive for the questers would be a nice change. We will of course still be having straight up increased XP weekends in the future.

Have fun!

Awesome! Some of the following quests come to mind when I read your post...

Moarsforts (ritual and egg)
Crystal crag shards (50+ through 130+)
Blightfinger (near ayan)
Gaerlan's Citadel
Ghost hunter
Composite bow bones (worth a good deal of XP)
Bonecrunch
Prodigal mosswart (WAY too hard for its intended level range, but still fun to do)
Mosswart townsfolk (for lvl 25+)

just to name a few.

Re: Increased Quest XP Holiday Weekend! 11/25 - 11/30

So by quest exp, do you mean any xp that isn't from killing a creature, and maybe from beating a skill check?

I'm wondering if quest exp only means pxp rewards, as it did when you made "quest exp" pass up, or if it includes any of the following:
  • Collector exp
  • DI/Viss trophies
  • Kill tasks
  • Flat quest exp like pincers/jaws
  • exp directly into skills (harby, runed weapons, crafter quests)

I'd be interested in that too.

Glad my timers for Harlune's Diplomacy, Monouga Feeding Pits, and Aerbax are up by then.

Re: Increased Quest XP Holiday Weekend! 11/25 - 11/30

dang it, I just did summoning of the t'huun, lol. Oh well many more quests out there.

I also would like to know what the definition of 'quest' is for this instance. Does it mean you go get flagged, do task, then go talk to npc to get reward? or does it include the nonflagging trophy quests as well? such as dire champ tokens? jaws? di/viss? I could name quite a few that I would like to know about.

I don't believe awards that put XP directly into skill awards will multiply. Otherwise if it is awarded from interacting with an NPC it should usually multiply. Yes those flat XP rewards, token rewards, and similar things should count and yes this means players can stock up this week.

Too bad the xp gained from the skill points given doing Harbinger aren't multiplied hehe. Instead of 2, we get 3 skill points worth of xp? *evil grin*

For real...

I'm going to start hoarding/buying DI trophies now for the big XP weekend. Hey, they pass up now too.

Double bonus!

Re: Increased Quest XP Holiday Weekend! 11/25 - 11/30

Will the diemos reward token (the one can use as aug also) of 100% increase to 150%?

Also will the 100 mil token available from vender that you hand to Arcnum agent go to 150 ?

Could please comfirm if these both will actually be affected by increase?

The diemos tokens I need to know. As my guy is lvl 249 will have 16 tokens to use. And 100 mil token being 30 coins wouldn't want to bother checking in game to find out.

thx

Also how about we get treated healing kits available at tree venders?

Re: Increased Quest XP Holiday Weekend! 11/25 - 11/30

Could you perhaps be really really nice to us all and reset quest timers while implementing this?

Please??
