xp wrong with lv. 25 bsm leve: "That's Some Fine Grinding" ?

I have just completed the blacksmith leve quest "That's Some Fine Grinding" in Quarrymill.

The reward was so small that it seems wrong. It only gives 8505 for 3 initiate's mortar, with HQ it gives 17010 xp. The reason I believe it is wrong is because the others here give 20.000 xp each for normal quality.

I get 26.000 xp for giving in hq iron rivets in Aleport, that is why this seems wrong. I used more time, more materials and got less for the effort. It seems as if it was forgotten to correct the xp reward in the update.

I am sorry if this is a bug report, but I was not sure if it was a bug or not, since I got what it said in the description of the quest.

I noticed this as well, last night on blacksmith leve's i was only getting a 100% bonus on HQ items handed in rather then the 200% it usually is. Have they changed the amount you get as a reward?

yes, they changed it. They more or less doubled all the leve rewards for standard and reduced HQ reward to 100%. It is not a bad thing since it gives more or less the same result. It seems to me they missed a few of the leves. The one I am talking about is set to the old reward as far as I can see.

I think it was done to balance how much xp you can get for 1 leve - I noticed the leves that can be turned in 3 times give less xp per turn in. You still get more xp total if you turn them in all 3 times, so now it is a choice of maximizing xp per leve or minimizing material usage.
