Why isn't the MSQ roulette EXP consistent?

[YukikoKurosawa]

Something I've noticed. When I get thrown into Praetorium via the Duty Roulette, sometimes I will gain a full level. Sometimes I overlevel. Or, like just 10 minutes, I get 60% of a level. And no it's nothing to do with whether my role was in need when I queued. Or my level. I'm in the level 80 range, and I've had runs on other jobs where my role wasn't needed and still gained a full level. This time I was tanking and tanks were in need. Still got barely any experience.

What is the point of doing this roulette if I can't be certain whether or not I will get more exp than a regular dungeon? Especially considering I get near insta-ques for anything as a tank. It's bad enough that the roulette exp overall (not just MSQ) is pretty weak, but for it to be inconsistent is just making me not want to do it and just dungeon spam and run fate trains.

If anything the duty roulette should tell me the exact amount of exp I will get. I'm tired of sometimes getting good exp and sometimes getting crap, especially with an instance that's 45 minutes long and 70% unskippable cutscenes. I just don't understand what the reason for the inconsistent exp is.

Depends on which one of the two you get, your level range, if you get the class in need bonus. It can't tell you the exact bonus EXP you get because of everything that could make it change.

You may complete certain challenge log entries that give a some Exp.

Yes, I mentioned all of that. That's not the issue. For example, my last run only less than an hour ago, I was tanking, tanks were in need, I qued and got Praetorium. Only got 60% of a level. I'm level 80 and have gotten a full level in this level range from Prae. So why did I get so much less than I've gotten in the past under the same conditions? It's not consistent is my point.

What exactly does this have to do with anything? I know that, but I'm not talking about that. That's not the issue, the issue is Praetorium in the MSQ roulette gives me a very different amount of exp each for no apparent reason, regardless of level range, or if my role was needed.

I'm at the point where I'm not even going to bother with it ever again, it's a waste of time if it's not a full level or at least just about.

Having a first timer in there also gives a significant experience and tome buff and it applies to everyone. Maybe that is why one was low if everyone had already done it. There are a lot of new runners so the extra experience will be applied more often than not right now.

Did you use any food buff? Also FC buff and the preorder Earring bonus? Cuz those fo affect roulette exp as well.

You get significantly less exp at level 80 vs 81+

I thought the amount of bonus experience is based on how many first timers are in the duty.

I think it's because Castrum is considerably shorter than Praetorium, which has faaar more unskipable cutscenes. So they had it give less xp.

And that's the BASE xp, before all the unrelated bonuses of all sorts and colors and flavors everybody in the thread keep mentioning.
