Question About Armoury XP Bonus

[MistakeNot]

I think the Active Help entry was right at some point in the past. They have since changed things so the Armory bonus is no longer dependent on how big the level difference is, but apparently forgot to update the Help entry.

Perhaps it may have been the pattern during 1.0 or during alpha/beta testing for ARR. But since ARR launched, I'm pretty sure the bonus has been consistent regardless of your higher class's level. I know it was fairly soon after ARR launch that I first saw discussions of this and people checking and verifying that it was always a flat 50% regardless of your highest class's level or the difference between it and your current one. The only change since is that after Heavensward came out, they changed it from 50% at all levels (which only went up to 50 at the time) to 100% up to level 50, then 50% from 50 to 60.

There were a few threads a long time ago asking SE to either correct the Active Help description if the observed pattern were intended, or to correct the behavior of the bonus itself, if what the Active Help describes were the intended pattern. At first we weren't quite sure which was correct and which was the error, just pretty sure that having them not match was wrong.
