Exp gain question

[EternalAmbrosia]

If you mean for different races/jobs then I don't think so. It pretty much depends on how long has someone stayed inside a sanctuary, but I believe there's a limit to how much you can get. Not sure what factors the limit however.

Hmm, thinking about it like that, I believe I may stay in a sanctuary a little longer than he would but the gaps are near or over 1mill in exp. That's a big gap for rest exp I think?

My bf suggested that it might be the rest exp I'd get 50% exp from killing mobs where as a healer he might not?

It may actually be the bonus exp from rested exp. I often burn the rested exp on gathering/trading jobs. You get like... 50% more exp? But it only applies to mob kills not quest completions or whatever. I dunno if that's the biggest factor though because I remember chiming in on exp amount and i was sitting at 6mil where she was at 7mil. still. maybe we're killing a lot more mobs than I realize... so maybe it IS rested exp.

Then that's probably your reason. I imagine you do or at least have done quite a number of dungeons together. Next time you do a dungeon close to your level, take a look at the exp gains from mob kills. While in the open world you get this tiny fraction of exp from mob kills While in dungeons, however, you get a huge chunk per mob in comparison. So, exp gain from dungeons is (aside from daily roulettes) entirely from mob kills and is greatly increased when you have rested exp.

This also begs the question of if you, the healer, are also dpsing mobs during healing downtime. If you don't at least tag a mob (even in a dungeon) as a healer, do you get exp for the kill? I don't heal, but that might be something you should check on to make sure you're not missing out.

In dungeons, you don't need to DPS at all to gain EXP. If you're partied, the party needs to tag to gain credit (like quests). It's only special open world mobs, like hunts and FATEs, where tagging is highly suggested as a healer. You can gain credit from just healing, but tagging completely ensures it (as members that become greyed out or untarget-able don't contribute toward the healer's credit if they only heal).

Oh, interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

If you're not on the mob's hate table, you don't get xp when it dies.

Not that I'm advocating for a healer to not DPS but trust me healing gets you on that table.

In dungeons. In the overworld a healer/dps duo most likely has the dps one or two-shotting mobs before any healing is required. I've had trouble in fates trying to hard-cast damage spells before mobs die.

Yeah, it's likely the rested exp if that's the case.
