    DoL guild marks rewards unbalanced

    There is a big disparity between Botanist marks rewards and other DoL rewards from leves. When I do my miners leves from Uldah, I get between 1200 to 1800 marks from 1 Nophica Wells leve (rank 30.) When I did a Camp Bloodshore fishing leve (rank 20) I got 1100 marks. I just did my Humblehearth botanist leve (rank 30) and I got 900 marks. Also, there are times after a leve reset when there are no leves that give marks.

    I noticed this discrepancy as well, but even before patch 1.18. I'd do Camp Tranquil (rank 20) leves for both miner and botanist and I would get on average over 1000 marks for miner, but botanist would be around only 650 - 750.

    I'm currently doing Humblehearth leves (rank 30) and if I'm lucky (even with 4+ points of previous leves as multipliers) to break 1100 or even 1000.

    I feel somewhere the mark reward calculating algorithm is not equivalent for the 3 DoL classes and should be corrected.

    Tl;DR: I agree with OP.

    Ive noticed that Botanist leves are surely giving less than miner and fisher too. R20 fishing leves give twice as much as the highest botany leve ive seen, which was ~500 botany marks.

    this is definatly the case, and always has been. I remember a dev post saying that if this is the case it is a bug and should be reported, but havnt heard anything since then.
