Exp debuff reasoning?

I may be a little behind with this one but as i just picked up my crafting again..

Did the Devs give a reason behind why they stopped us gaining +200% on HQ hand ins? i mean did they buff the existing exp or something or did they just decide we weren't grinding enough?

and if they didn't give a reasoning can i invite a dev in here to explain why this happened please :)

They upped the base XP that every crafting leve gives, actually

Wish they buffed the gil also.... Some Leves were actually profitable because of the 200% triple turn ins.

They just adhjusted it slightly so that HQ triple turn ins don't rule the roost so much. Exp was buffed for NQ but reduced for HQ.

i imagined this might be the case thanks

The changes to the Leve system didn't really make leveling take any longer. The amount of Gil you will obtain from leveling through triple turn in has gone down by 33%

There was no nerf to levels. There was a nerf to Gil.

So HQ Turn ins used to give a 200% bonus and they nerfed it. What did they nerf it too?

It was changed to 100%

hmm....that may make me re-think triple-leve's If you frequent this forum you know i'm very much against Triples for speed leveling but now with such a large exp decrease I may have to reconsider.

It's worth noting, I have been leveling WVR since the update, and with the new base NQ exp, you can get a level even at 39-40 in 3-5 HQ turn ins if you stick to single turn in and courier leves. If anything, I would say leveling speed has been substantially improved.

The HQ is only double instead of triple exp over the NQ, but the NQ has been doubled for all leves (single or triple turn in).

This means your HQ turn in is worth 33% more than it was before the patch.

They never said the reason, but I'm sure it's because of the people leveling their crafts without crafting. Now you'll get about as much exp from making it yourself and turning in some NQ and some HQ as you would from handing someone else the stuff and having them do it for you.

I was on the tail end of my crafts the few I did the days after I was getting more xp.

I think this update just boosts NQ so you don't feel the NEED to turn in HQ ALL the time. So if your not making HQ consistently you can still get decent xp for your leve and don't feel like you wasted materials.

I really want to know why the Luminaries tables are plain looking.

One way to look at the luminary tables, Legend, is the same way that /visor does for old pieces of headgear.
They're old gear, which making new animations for would be more work than it is actually worth. They'd rather focus on new gear
