XP Gain feels broken?

Has someone else mentioned that the XP gain is broken?

So, not my top job, from Quest turn-in and everything else I used to get %50 if job is lower than my max plus %100 if less than level 80 for the menphina's earring?

But both of those bonuses seem to be missing.

The earring text did not change. Doesn't say - "No longer works" or something.
What's up?

earring bonus only applies to kills does not apply to quest turn ins

Menphinas earring gives a flat +30% bonus to monster kills level 1-80. 50% was 71-80 if higher class. 100% was 1-70 if higher class.

Ok. My mistake. So forget the earring. I was used to doing PoD and seeing +180. Ok But shouldn't I have seen +100% just from turning in quest with MCH at 60? Or is there some second order subtlety like maybe I forgot and took the quest as SMN / 69 which is highest job and then turned it in as MCH at level 60? I'll do another test, but I've not seen any boosting at all and I'm switching back and forth with GNB 63, SMN 69 and MCH 60. Should see some bonus XP somewhere, right? Oh there is a +50% from having a blue bar - not playing for a while? - or did they nerf that compeltely? I see a blue bar not a yellow one. I'm confused. Used to see bonus XP all the time and this whole day. nada

Quest gains do not get armory bonus. Your only bonuses will be via fates/potd/hoh (up to 100% from armory bonus) and kills, which will vary based on armory, rested exp, exp boosting gear, and food. Dungeon exp has been consolidated to only come from bosses now as well.

The only time quests had exp bonus on them is with the bonus provided to characters made on preferred worlds which only lasts up to a certain level and for a certain time.

Well what am I doing these foolish quests for anyway.. .LOL Thx

Because they’re still a good source of exp at level?

They have done changes to exp as well for each level. In the patch notes it should have it. i don't know if this is something you are experiencing.


The amount of experience points required to level up Disciple of War and Magic classes and jobs has been adjusted due to the downscaling of values.
In accordance with this change, adjustments have also been made to the following:

Experience points earned for defeating enemies.
Experience points rewarded for completing quests and levequests.
Experience points rewarded for completing Duty Roulette.
Experience points rewarded for completing guildleves.
Experience points rewarded for completing beast tribe daily quests.
Experience points rewarded for completing daily mark bills.
Experience points rewarded for completing challenge log entries.
* Because the database must be overwritten to implement the downscaling of values, any experience points accumulated between levels prior to the release of Patch 6.0 will be reset to 0.

For very loose definitions of "good."

Well what would you rather do when waiting in queue for a roulette or dungeon? Sit around doing nothing or make some progress towards your next level up? It’s better than open world farming, it’s quicker than fate grinding, it’s less traveling than daily hunts as well. The other better options all require waiting for a queue to pop so may as well do something while you wait.

That being said they’re side quests. I do them on alt jobs while waiting in queue because it’s something to do while I wait. Theres nothing requiring them to be done.
